PAPR Reduction Techniques Comparison in OFDM System

Shilpa Bavi, Sudhirkumar Dhotre

In recent years, multimedia based application which requires the technology that supports high speed data transmission is growing rapidly. To achieve this high speed communication orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is most widely used technology. OFDM system makes the use of orthogonal subcarriers for data transmission with efficient usage of available bandwidth. However as number of subcarriers goes on increasing, Peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of OFDM signal also increasing. This high PAPR causes significant distortions when passed through non-linear amplifier. A number of promising techniques have been proposed & implemented to reduce PAPR of OFDM signal with expense of transmitted signal power, Bit error rate (BER), complexity etc. In this paper, amplitude clipping and filtering (ACF), Iterative clipping and filtering (ICF) and interleaved OFDM techniques are implemented for PAPR reduction of OFDM signal at transmitter. Comparison of these PAPR reduction techniques is done based PAPR and BER performance of the system.
