A Summarization on PAPR Techniques for OFDM Systems

Communication is one of the main aspects of life. With the advancement in age and its growing demands, there has been rapid growth in the field of communications. Signals, which were initially sent in the analog domain, are being sent in the digital domain. For better transmission, still the single carrier waves are being replaced by multi carriers. Multi carrier systems like CDMA and OFDM are now a day being implemented normally. In the OFDM system, orthogonally placed sub carriers are used to carry the data from the transmitter end to the receiver end. Presence of guard band in this system deals with the problem of ISI and noise is minimized by larger number of sub carriers. But the large peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of these signal have some undesirable effects on the system. This paper focuses on presenting the basics of an OFDM system and various methods to reduce the PAPR. High peak to average power ratio of the transmit signal is a major drawback of multicarrier transmission in OFDM. This article describes some of the important PAPR reduction techniques for multicarrier transmission including amplitude clipping and filtering, coding, partial transmit sequence, selected mapping, interleaving, tone reservation, tone injection and active constellation extension. Finally the criterion for PAPR reduction technique selection has been discussed.
