Performance analysis on FDE receiver for single carrier transmission

In this paper, single carrier (SC) transmission is considered. We focus on SC frequency domain equalization (FDE) receiver and analyze the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the time domain output signal estimate and then, derive the achievable bit error rate (BER). For the purpose of comparison, we consider optimal time domain equalization (TDE) receiver as a reference. Our analytical results show the relationship between the FDE and optimal TDE.
