Abstract :
We investigate the sensitivity to carrier phase jitter of an orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA) system. When all OFDMA carriers have the same power level and jitter spectrum, the degradation caused by the jitter is shown to be equal to the degradation of an OFDM system. Also, traditional FDMA is found to be slightly more robust than OFDMA
