Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Performance Dependency on Pulse Shape in Underwater Channel

In this study, we propose pulse shapes to decrease the inter-carrier interference (ICI) caused by the frequency offset in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Several pulse shapes have been employed to reduce ICI, and simulations demonstrate that the linear pulse has improved performance in reducing ICI due to the frequency offset.
