Abstract

DFDM is a good candidate for beyond-3G high-speed wireless communication application because of the robustness to the intersymbol interference and multipath fading. However. an OFDM signal has a serious problem of the high PAPR, which results in the significant nonlinear distortion when it passes through a nonlinear high power amplifier. We propose a new PAPR reduction method using pre-emphasis and clipping. Via the proposed method, the OFDM output signal can have a low PAPR and BER improvement. Then. de-emphasis process is requisite in OFDM receiver. PAPR is reduced to about 5.7 ㏈ at the CCDF= 10$\^$-3/ when the subcarrier number is 16, QPSK modulation is used. pre-emphasis change point Is 3/9 of the peak amplitude of the IFFT output and clipping level is 11 in the IFFT output amplitude. The required SNR at BER=10$\^$-3/ the proposed system is improved by 2 dB than that of the original OFDM system.

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템은 ISI와 주파수 선택적 채널에서 매우 강건한 (robust) 특성을 갖기 때문에 차세대 고속 데이터 전송에 효과적인 기술이다. 그러나, OFDM 시스템에서는 많은 부반송파를 사용하므로 높은 PAPR(peak to averahe power ratio)이 발생된다. 높은 PAPR의 OFDM 신호가 송신단의 비선형 증폭기를 통과할 때 심각한 왜곡이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 프리엠파스시스 및 클리핑 기법을 이용하여 PAPR를 감소하였다. 이 방법은 IFFT 출력 신호를 프리엠파시스(de-emphasis)시키는 과정을 이용하여 효과적인 성능 개선을 갖는다. 부반송파의 수가 16개, QPSK 변조방식을 사용하고, 프리엠파시스 변화점이 IFFT 출력신호 최대진폭의 3/9이고, IFFT 출력진폭이 11인 지점에서 클립을 할때, CCDF(complementary cumulative density function)확률이 10/녀ㅔ -3/에서 PAPR이 약5.7㏈ 정도이고, BER=$10^{-3}$에서 요구 SNR은 기존의 OFDM보다 약 2 ㏈성능 개선을 보인다.
