초록

본 논문에서는 시스템의 복잡도와 비트오율 (Bit Error Rate; BER) 성능을 모두 고려하여 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 신호의 PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)을 효과적으로 감소시키기 위한 적응적 Companding 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 OFDM 시스템의 변조 레벨에 따라 BER 성능과 PAPR 감소를 모두 고려하기 위해 송신단의 Compression과 수신단의 Expanding 함수를 적응적으로 변화시킨다. 또한 본 논문에서는 제안된 기법에 대한 스펙트럼 특성을 분석하고, 대역외 스펙트럼 전력을 감소시키기 위한 필터링 방안을 도입하여 적용한 후의 BER 성능을 확인하였다. 일반적인 Companding 알고리즘과 비교한 모의실험 결과, 제안된 기법은 PAPR 감소 측면에서도 효과적일 뿐만 아니라 스펙트럼 전력 측면에서도 좋은 특성을 넓이면서도, 필터링 사용 유무에 관계없이 BER 성능도 매우 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive companding scheme to effectively reduce PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) of the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) signals, while considering both complexity and BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of systems. The proposed scheme adaptively alters the compression function in the transmitter and the expanding function in the receiver to simultaneously take into account the BER performance and the PAPR reduction. In this paper, we also measure in-band and out-of-band spectra of the proposed scheme, and observe the BER performance after applying the filtering to reduce the out-of-band radiation. As compared to the conventional companding algorithm, simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme achieves more reliable BER performance in all the cases of with and without the filtering, and has a good spectrum characteristic with effective PAPR reduction.
