Abstract
Staggered multitone (SMT) is sensitive to the carrier frequency offset (CFO). Differ
ent from orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), in SMT systems, CFO
causes both intercarrier interference (ICI) and intersymbol interference (1ST). In this
paper, we study the sensitivity of SMT to the phase offset. We derive a relationship be
tween the total interference and the phase offset. We show that, without CFO, the total
interference power due to the phase offset is a sinusoidal function. In the presence of
CFO, the phase offset changes from symbol to symbol and the total interference power.
is different for different SMT symbols. We use computer simulations to compare the
sensitivity of SMT and OFDM systems to the phase and carrier frequency offset. The
results show SMT experiences bigger interference power than OFDM.
