Abstract

High peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of OFDM reduces the transmitter power efficiency and increases the complication in hardware implementation. A number of techniques have been developed to minimize PAPR of OFDM. Among these techniques, iterative clipping and filtering (ICF) is an effective recent technique that produces significant results in minimizing PAPR. But, the major limitation of this approach is that it requires several iterations for minimizing PAPR. In order to overcome the above limitation, an optimization based ICF is used in this research work. An efficient custom optimized adaptive clipping and filtering technique is proposed. The proposed method shows a greater reduction in PAPR in lesser iterations with reduced out-of-band distortion and bit error rate when compared over classical clipping techniques. Moreover, the effects of oversampling on the performance of the proposed OFDM system are also evaluated.
