Performance evaluation of THz wireless systems under the joint impact of misalignment fading and phase noise

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the joint impact of misalignment fading and local oscillator (LO) phase noise (PHN) in multi-carrier terahertz (THz) wireless systems. In more detail, after establishing a suitable system model that takes into account the particularities of the THz channel, as well as the transceivers characteristics, we present simulation results that quantify the joint impact of misalignment fading and PHN in terms of average signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) and outage probability (OP).
