Abstract

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) signal with high PAPR(peak to average power ratio) produces the nonlinear distortion and/or decreases down the power efficiency of HPA(high power amplifier). So, the IMD(inter-modulation distortion) reduction method was proposed to reduce the nonlinear distortion, which shows better BER(bit error rate) performance than the PAPR reduction methods. However, IMD reduction method has inherent problem which system complexity and processing time increases because the FFT(fast Fourier transform) processor is added in transmitter and decision criterion of IMD reduction method is computed in frequency domain,. In this paper, therefore, we propose a new IMD reduction method to reduce the computational complexity and structure of IMD computation. And we apply this proposed method into OFDM system using PTS(partial transmit sequence) scheme and compare the computational complexity between conventional and proposed IMD reduction method. This method can reduce the system size and computational complexity. Also, the proposed has almost same BER performance with the conventional IMD reduction method.

높은 PAPR을 갖는 직교 주파수 분할 다중 접속 신호는 비선형 왜곡을 발생시키거나, 송신기의 전력 증폭기의 효율을 나쁘게 한다. 그래서 비선형 왜곡을 줄이기 위한 상호 변조 왜곡 저감 기법이 제안되었다. IMD 저감 기법은 비선형 왜곡에 대하여 PAPR 저감 기법보다 비트 오차율 작게 한다. 하지만 IMD 저감 기법의 결정 기준은 주파수 영역에서 이루어지기 때문에 송신기에 FFT가 추가되어 시스템 복잡도가 증가하고, IMD 연산의 복잡한 계산 과정과, 이에 따른 처리시간이 증가하는 문제가 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존의 IMD 저감 기법의 복잡도와 계산량 저감하기 위한 새로운 방식의 IMD 저감 방식을 제안한다. 또한 본 논문에서는 제안된 방식을 PTS 방식의 OFDM 통신 시스템에 적용하여 기존의 기법과 복잡도와 계산량을 비교한다. 제안된 기법은 PAPR처럼 시간영역에서 IMD의 전력량을 계산하므로 송신기에서 시스템의 복잡도와 계산량을 크게 줄일 수 있다. 또한 새로운 기법은 기존 방식과 BER 성능 면에서 차이를 보이지 않는다.
