Improved Clipping Technique for PAPR Reduction in OFDM

Abstract:

Multicarrier modulation technique also known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is considered to be the most rapidly growing technique for 4th Generation wireless communication system. Due to its high speed data rate and its ability of multipath fading channel robustness. OFDM becomes an attractive technique and it is widely adopted in many wireless communications system. OFDM signal carries its major drawback of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) problem. Out of band radiation and in band distortion produced due to its high PAPR. Mobile phone communication suffer severe drawback during its amplification. When OFDM employed a non linear Power Amplifier (PA), it produces the fluctuation in amplitude of OFDM signal. This paper discusses the method to overcome PAPR in terms of its performance by using improved clipping technique for PAPR reduction. This method is easy to implement and reduces the amount of PAPR by clipping the peak of the maximum power signal. We present an improved method for PARR reduction for reducing peak magnitude of OFDM signal. This scheme simultaneously minimizes the peak magnitude of PAPR in OFDM signal.
