Abstract

Pulse blanking is a widely used method to eliminate impulsive interference in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver. To analyze the effect of the inter-carrier interference caused by pulse blanking on the symbol error rate (SER) performance of OFDM employing maximum ratio combining (MRC) receiver, the analytical expression of the signal-to-interference-noise ratio (SINR) of the OFDM employing MRC receiver is derived. Based on the SINR expression, furthermore, the SER performances over both Rayleigh and Ricean fading channels are also analyzed quantitatively. Simulation results validate the correctness of the derived formulas.
