Abstract

Clipping is a simple and convenient PAPR reduction method to prevent the high-speed OFDM communication system from the nonlinear distortion. However, it inherently produces clip noise so that BER performance can be degraded. Clipping noise can be divided into in-band and out-of-band clipping noise. In this paper, we study the clipping effect on the forward link of the OFDM-FDMA system. BER performance of OFDM-FDMA system using clipping method is theoretically analyzed. We also investigate the BER performance of the clipped OFDM-FDMA signal through the HPA. From the simulation results it can be quantified how much the BER performance of OFDM-FDMA system is degraded by the clipping method. From the study results, we can choose the appropriate IBO value and CR(clip ratio) to get the desired BER performance.

Clipping은 고속 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 통신 시스템에서 비선형 왜곡 방지를 위한 단순하고 편리한 PAPR(peak-to average power ratio) 저감 방법이다. 그러나, clipping 방법은 BER 성능을 저해 하는 clip 잡음을 발생한다. 잡음은 대역내 clipping 잡음과 대역외 clipping 잡음으로 분류된다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM-FDMA 통신 시스템의 ffrward link의 clipping 잡음 특성을 분석하고 BER 성능을 이론적으로 분석한다. HPA를 통과한 clipped OFDM-FDMA신호의 BER성능을 분석한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해서 OFDM-FDMA 시스템의 BER성능이 clipping 방법에 의한 성능 저하를 연구하였다. 본 연구의 결과로, 우리는 원하는 BER성능을 얻기 위한 알맞은 IBO(input back-off) 값과 CR(clip ratio)을 선택할 수 있다.
