Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) • One of the main problems in OFDM system is large PAPR /PAR(increased complexity of the ADC and DAC, and reduced efficiency of RF power amplifier, and etc.) • An OFDM signal consists of a number of independently modulated subcarriers, which can give a large PAPR /PAR when added up coherently.
PAPR (Cont.) The crest factor
Reducing PAR techniques • Signal distortion techniques [Clipping (rectangular) and Peak windowing (Cosine, Kaiser, Hamming)] * window length increase -> reduce out of band radiation but increase BER • Probabilistic techniques (Partial transform Sequence (PTS), Selective Mapping (SLM)) • Coding techniques (Block coding) * no good codes for practical value of N>64 and larger constellation size ( >4 )are known.
Selective Mapping (SLM) In SLM , transmitter selects one of the smallest PAR OFDM signal by using phase rotation.
Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) In PTS, the data symbols are broken into several Sub-blocks. These sub-blocks are added and transmitted with optimized phase rotation factors.
Drawbacks of techniques for reducing PAPR • Reducing data rate. • (the side information, coding rate) • Increasing the out of band radiation and BER. • (clip the peak power signals) • Increasing systems complexity. • (PTS, SLM)

Selection of OFDM parameters • Bandwidth, bit rate, delay spread • Guard time Tg • 2 to 4 times delay spread 2 to 4 • depends on the order of modulation employed • Symbol duration > Guard time to maximize SNR • More subcarriers, smaller spacing, implementation complexity, more sensitivity to phase noise & frequency offset, high PAPR • Symbol duration 5 x Guard time ( 1-dB SNR loss ) • Ts = 5 x Tg Tofdm = Ts + Tg • Subcarrier spacing f = 1 / Ts • Number of subcarriers = 3-dB BW / f
Example : • Bit rate = 20 Mbps • Tolerable delay spread = 200 ns • Bandwidth < 15 MHz • Tg = 800 ns • Tofdm = 5 x Tg + Tg = 4.8 sec • f = 1 / 4 sec = 250 KHz • Number of bits in one OFDM symbol = 20 Mbps x 4.8 sec = 96 • 16-QAM with rate ½ Conv. Coding 2 bits / symbol / subcarrier 48 subcarriers 48 x 250 KHz = 12 MHz < 15 MHz • QPSK with rate ¾ coding 1.5 bits / symbol / subcarrier 64 subcarriers 64 x 250 KHz 16 MHz > 15 MHz • 64 point IFFT / FFT 16 zero subcarriers oversampling Given requirements
