This thesis studies the performance of filter bank multicarrier communication (FBMC) systems in the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO) and timing offset. Firstly, sensitivity of FBMC systems to CFO and timing offset is studied. Secondly, CFO and timing offset synchronization algorithm including both estimation and compensation steps are investigated. Although the emphasis of this thesis is on the 0cm 0cm 10pt" Key words Filter bank multicarrier communication systems, Synchronization, Carrier frequency offset, Timing offset.
