On the Second-order Statistics of the Channel Parameters for BFDM/OQAM Systems

Recently, there has been increased interest in using multicarrier systems in rapidly time-varying multipath environment. Biorthogonal frequency division multiplexing based on offset QAM (BFDM/OQAM) is an attractive modulation method since it allows time-frequency well-localized pulses even at critical sampling (i.e. maximum spectral efficiency). BFDM/OQAM system is naturally strong against intersymbol and intercarrier interference (ISI/ICI). However, for further improvement of the system a study on the channel statistics is needed. In this paper we analytically examine the channel parameters for BFDM/OQAM and derive their second-order statistics
