Abstract

In this paper, the structure of OFDM system is studied, and causes of inter carrier interference (ICI) are analyzed. Based on analysis, this paper shows a technique to prevent a distortion due to nonlinearity of high Power amplifier. The proposed scheme is a predistorter for high power amplifier linearization in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system used in wireless local area network(WLAN). This is verified by comparing BER characteristics of OFDM system, between used PD and not used PD.
