Multicarrier Interference Evaluation with Jointly Non-Linear Amplification and Timing Errors

In this paper, we investigate the interference caused by Non Linear (NL) power amplifiers together with timing errors for multicarrier OFDM/FBMC transmissions. This kind of interference will be found in Cognitive Radio systems where users are non synchronized. We found that the global interference can be computed by adding the NL effect with the unsynchronized one. Finally, simulation results are presented and are in good agreement with the developed theoretical model.
