Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals suffer from the problem of large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) which complicates the design of the analog front-end of the system. Companding is a well-known PAPR reduction technique that reduces the PAPR by transforming the signal amplitude using a deterministic function. In this paper, a novel piecewise linear companding transform is proposed. The design criteria for the proposed transform is developed by investigating the relationships between the compander and decompander's profile and parameters with the system's performance metrics. Using analysis and simulations, we relate the companding parameters with the bit error rate (BER), out-of-band interference (OBI), amount of companding noise, computational complexity and average power. Based on a set of criteria developed thereof, we formulate the design of the proposed transform. The main aim is to preserve the signal's attributes as much as possible for a predetermined amount of PAPR reduction. Simulations are carried out to evaluate and compare the proposed scheme with the existing companding transforms to demonstrate the enhancement in PAPR, BER and OBI performances.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals suffer from the problem of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which complicates the design of analog front-end of the system. Companding is a well-known PAPR reduction technique that involves transforming signal amplitudes using a deterministic function. OFDM signal amplitude, on average, is Rayleigh distributed but the distribution can vary significantly from symbol to symbol, especially when constellation size increases. In this paper, a new adaptive companding scheme is proposed along with its design methodology aiming at optimizing the compander performance by accommodating this variation in its design. This is achieved by designing compander parameters separately for statistically dissimilar symbols in OFDM waveform and making the compander select from these parameters, during run-time, according to the features of input symbols.

High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of transmitted signals is a major drawback in Multicarrier modulation (MCM) systems. Companding transform is a well-known method to reduce the PAPR without restrictions on system parameters such as the number of subcarriers, frame format and constellation type. In this paper, a novel adaptive companding scheme, mainly focuses on compressing the large signals into the desirable distribution, is proposed to reduce the PAPR with low implementation complexity. In addition, formulas to calculate its PAPR and bit error rate (BER) performance are also derived. Simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme can achieve an effective tradeoff between PAPR reduction and BER performance by carefully choosing the companding parameter.

Single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) is currently being used in long-term evolution uplink communications owing to its low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). This study proposes a new transceiver design for an SC-FDMA system based on Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT). The proposed WHT-based SC-FDMA system has low-PAPR and better bit-error rate (BER) performance compared with the conventional SC-FDMA system. The WHT-based SC-FDMA transmitter has the same complexity as that of discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based transmitter, while the receiver's complexity is higher than that of the DFT-based receiver. The exponential companding technique is used to reduce its PAPR without degrading its BER. Moreover, the performances of different ordered WHT systems have been studied in additive white Gaussian noise and multipath fading environments. The proposed system has been verified experimentally by considering a real-time channel with the help of wireless open-access research platform hardware. The supremacy of the proposed transceiver is demonstrated based on simulated and experimental results.

본 논문에서는 영상 데이터 압축을 위하여 2- 채널 멀티웨이브렛 변환을 적용하였다. 멀티웨이브렛 시스템은 음성 데이터 등의 비정상적인 신호의 압축에 스칼라 웨이브렛 시스템을 능가하는 우수한 성능을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있으나 2차원 데이터인 영상 데이터의 경우에는 멀티웨이브렛 시스템 특유의 시각적 격자 오류가 발생하는 문제가 있다. 본문의 멀티웨이브렛 변환 및 압축 시스템에서는 멀티웨이브렛 효과에 의하여 발생하는 격자 오류를 제거하기 위하여 전후처리 필터링을 멀티웨이브렛 변환 및 압축 시스템에 접목하는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한, 제안한 시스템의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 영상 데이터의 압축 기능 측면에서 스칼라 웨이브렛 시스템과 비교하였다. 이때, 비트 할당과 양자화를 위해서 전송율 결과는 제안한 멀티웨이브렛 변화 및 압축 시스템이 스칼라 웨이브렛 시스템 보다 영상 압축 성능 측면에서 1 ~ 2 dB 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 만약 SPIHT과 run-length 채널 부호화 기법 등의 우수한 압축 기술을 멀티웨이브렛 변환 시스템에 적용한다면 더욱 우수한 성능 개선 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
