Abstract:

The multi-channel orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signal is constructed of multiple OFDM signals from different frequency bands. The peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the multi-channel OFDM signal is much larger than that of the single-channel OFDM signal. The PAPR reduction algorithms for the single-channel OFDM signal are difficult to apply to multi-channel OFDM systems directly. In this paper, a group PTS(G-PTS) algorithm and a simplified group PTS(SG-PTS) algorithm have been proposed. In the proposed methods, all the multi-channel OFDM signals are divided into different groups and in each group the signals are added directly. Then, the output signal of each group is further added with a different phase rotation factor. The PAPR of the signal can be reduced by selecting the optimal phase rotation factor combination. In addition, compared with the G-PTS algorithm, the computational complexity of finding the optimal phase rotation factor combination can be further reduced by the SG-PTS algorithm. Simulation results have shown that the SG-PTS algorithm can reduce the PAPR of multi-channel OFDM signals effectively, and that its implementation complexity is moderate. Thus, the proposed PAPR reduction algorithms are suitable for practical multi-channel OFDM systems.
