In this thesis, we introduce a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimator and analyze the performance degradation of the SNR estimator due to the synchronization error in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. This SNR estimator through the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is used in the adaptive modulation. When the synchronization is imperfectly done, the synchronization error reduces the performance of the OFDM systems and the accuracy of the SNR estimator. We investigate the estimation offset of the SNR estimator with the synchronization error. Simulation results demonstrate that the theoretical analyses are correct. In addition, the simulation results show that the more synchronization errors cause the more estimation errors of the SNR estimator. And the estimation errors are not decreased by the iteration of the EM algorithm.
