Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM is an effective technique for high-speed digital transmission over time-dispersive channels. However for coherent detection a reliable channel estimation CE is required. OFDM is characterized by its high peak-to-average power ratio PAPR which makes it very sensitive to nonlinear distortions that may affect the channel estimation accuracy leading to a bit error rate BER performance degradation. In this paper we present closed-form BER expression for OFDM with a pilot-assisted CE in a nonlinear and frequency-selective fading channel. We discuss how and to what extent the nonlinear degradation affects the BER performance with the CE based on a time frequency division-multiplexed TDM FDM pilot. The analysis is based on a Gaussian approximation of the nonlinear .
