Abstract
In this letter, analytical expressions are derived for the power spectral density (PSD) of orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) signals employing a cyclic prefix (CP-OFDM) or zero padding (ZP-OFDM) time guard interval. Under the relatively weak assumptions that i) the data are independent and identically distributed on all OFDM subcarriers and ii) the OFDM pulse shape is sufficiently localized in time, simple closed-form PSD expressions can be obtained. These expressions are then compared to existing OFDM PSD expressions and validated by inspecting the power spectra of some standardized OFDM signals.
