Multi-Carrier (MC) modulation schemes like Or-
thogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) are highly
sensitive to Phase Noise (PN). In the case of air interfaces
operating in higher frequencies, e.g. the range between 6 and
100 GHz frequently called millimeter wave (mmWave), the PN
generated by the local oscillators is even more accentuated.
Alternative MC systems are being considered for future mmWave
wireless communications. In this contribution, we analytically
derive expressions for an upper bound for the interference power
generated by the PN in OFDM, DFT-Spread-OFDM and Filter
Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC). Then, we evaluate the performance
degradation due to that imperfection in terms of coded and
uncoded BER
