Abstract

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system is robust to frequency selective fading and narrowband interference in high-speed data communications. However, an OFDM signal consists of a number of independently modulated subcarriers, which can give a large PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) when added up coherently. In this paper, we apply clipping and filtering to solve the PAPR problem and compensate the inband compensation using calculated EVM (Error Vector Magnitude). The proposed method can reduce the PAPR and inband distortion. From the results, we analyze the PAPR reducing efficiency and EVM, BER performance of proposed algorithm in the wireless communication system.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식은 주파수 선택적 페이딩 (frequency selective fading)과 협대역 간섭 (narrwband interference)에 강한 전송 방식으로 대용량 데이터 통신에 적합하다. 하지만, OFDM 신호는 독립적으로 변조된 많은 부반송들로 구성되므로 이들이 동위상으로 더해질 때 신호의 진폭이 증가하여 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM 시스템의 PAPR 문제를 해결하기 위해 반복구조의 clipping과 filtering 기법을 적용하고, 이로 인해 발생되는 대역 내 왜곡을 EVM (Error Vector Magnitude)을 이용하여 보정하는 기법을 제안하였다. 이 기법은 PAPR 감소는 물론 clipping에 의한 대역 내 왜곡을 감소시킬 수 있다. 제안하는 알고리즘을 무선 통신 시스템에 적용하였을 때 PAPR 감소 효율과 EVM, BER (Bit Error Rate) 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석했다.
