The high peak to average power ration (PAR) levels of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals attract the attention of many researchers during the past decade. Existing approaches that attack this PAR issue are abundant, but no systematic framework or comparison between them exists to date. They sometimes even differ in the problem definition itself and consequently in the basic approach to follow. In this paper, we propose a new trend in mitigating the peak power problem in OFDM system based on modeling the effects of clipping and amplifier nonlinearities in an OFDM system. We showed that the distortion due to these effects is highly related to the dynamic range itself rather than the clipping level or the saturation level of the nonlinear amplifier, and thus we propose two criteria to reduce the dynamic range of the OFDM, namely, the use of MSK modulation and the use of Hadamard transform. Computer simulations of the OFDM system using Matlab are completely matched with the deduced model in terms of OFDM signal quality metrics such as BER, ACPR, and EVM. Also simulation results show that even the reduction of PAR using the two proposed criteria is not significat, and the reduction in the amount of distortion due to HPA is truley delightful.

High Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of OFDM reduces transmitter power efficiency and increases complexity in hardware implementation. In the paper, the high PAPR is reduced using optimized Standard Deviation based Iterative Clipping and Filtering (SD-ICF).The proposed method achieves a greater reduction in PAPR in a few iterations with reduced out-of-band distortion and bit error rate when compared over classical clipping techniques.Also, the effects of oversampling on the performance of proposed OFDM system is discussed.

AbstractDue to the increase in demand for high data rates in mobile communication, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is employed in many applications. It efficiently overcomes the effect of Inter-symbol Interference caused due to the fading of the channel, but Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is unitary of the disadvantages in OFDM System. In the stage-I, the OFDM system is designed with different modulation schemes like QAM-16, BPSK, and QPSK. In the latter stage, we work on the reduction of PAPR by using a clipping technique and we establish a significant reduction in PAPR as compared to the conventional clipping technique.
