ABSTRACT
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)is becoming the chosen modulation
technique for wireless communications. Multicarrier modulation shows a significant sensitivity
to the phase noise present in the oscillator used for frequency down-conversion at the portable
receiver. For this reason, it is important to evaluate the impact of the phase noise on the system
performance. In this paper, the performance of phase noise impaired OFDM system over a
multipath frequency selective and time varying fading channels analyzed, in terms of Mean
Square Error (MSE)and Bit Error Rate (BER). The analysis shows a degradation of the MSE and
BER caused by the addition of phase noise at the transmitter and receiver end of the OFDM
communication link. This performance degradation is evaluated from the graphs of MSE and
BER against Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The simulation is performed using Matlab and the
results show a good agreement with analytical expressions.

EXISTING METHOD:
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a multicarrier modulation
technique,which divides the available spectrum into several parallel data streams or channels,
one for each subcarrier. It is a multicarrier transmission technique where the data bits are
modulated by orthogonal subcarriers.The main advantage of OFDM is to split the available
signal bandwidth intoa large number of independent narrow-band subchannels.It also has many
advantages over single carrier systems, including its resistanceto frequency selective fading

DEMERITS:
It can be very high bit rate nois gain.

PROPOSED METHOD:
phase noise model,fading channel model, frequency selective fading channel model and
estimation, time varying fading channel model and estimation, theory of rayleigh fading,
performance analysis, qpsk modulatio, bpsk modulation.

MERITS:
The oscillator used for frequency down-conversion at the portable receiver.
It is many advantages over single carrier systems, including its resistanceto frequency
selective fading.
