1. A method comprising:

  • measuring phase noise in a signal, the phase noise due to a sampling-time phase mismatch between a transmitter device and a receiver device, wherein said signal is a multicarrier signal including a plurality of sub-carriers;

    determining a Gaussian noise power level in the signal, wherein determining the Gaussian noise power level in the signal comprises;

    determining a total noise power level in the signal;

    determining a phase noise power level in the signal; and

    subtracting the phase noise power level from the total noise power level to determine the Gaussian noise power level in the signal;

    calculating a gain factor associated with the phase noise; and

    applying the gain factor to the Gaussian noise power level to calculate an equivalent noise power.
