Abstract
This letter presents an efficient and accurate performance evaluation metho d for binary MC-CDMA systems with deterministic signature sequences. This m ethod is based on a formulation of the characteristic function, and does no t resort to any assumption on the statistical or spectral behavior of the i nterference. The accuracy of the Gaussian approximation method is also cons idered.
