Which risk increases when channel estimation exhibits imperfect synchronization in OFDM?

💡 Explanation

Imperfect synchronization causes phase and frequency offsets. This affects the **loss of orthogonality** on each subcarrier because the cyclic prefix cannot compensate for the altered timing; therefore, inter-carrier interference increases, rather than affecting power needed/guard intervals/or timing alone.
