In wireless communications, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a method of modulating multicarrier signals to transmit high speed data. OFDM systems use multiple subcarriers to transmit the modulated symbols. There is a high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) in OFDM. PAPR can be reduced by using various methods. Different PAPR minimization techniques, like clipping, selective mapping (SLM) and partial transmit sequence (PTS) are presented in this project. This paper also focuses on Bit Error Rate (BER) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) relative performance. A significant reduction in the PAPR and computational complexity can be seen from the results. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of an analysis recommended for PAPR reduction methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
