Abstract

The SC-FDMA(single carrier-frequency division multiple access) was recently adopted as the uplink multiple access scheme from 3GPP LTE(3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Tenn Evolution) due to its low PAPR (Peak-to-averaged power ratio). The bandwidth of IFDMA(interleaved FDMA), one of the sub-carrier mapping methods of SC-FDMA, gets narrower as the roll-off factor of RRC(root raised cosine) filter decreases from 1 to 0, whereas its PAPR can increase significantly. In practice, to increase the power efficiency of an amplifier, signals with high PAPR undergo the process of clipping. Clipping of signals may cause regeneration of high-frequency components as well as distortion of signals. The current paper deals with the effect of clipping on the spectrum and BER of IFDMA signals with RRC filters.

SC-FDMA(single carrier-frequency division multiple access)는 낮은 첨두전력을 가져 최근 3GPP LTE(3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution)의 상향 다중 접속방식으로 채택되었다. 파형정형 여파기인 제곱근 상승여현 여파기의 롤오프 계수가 1에서 0으로 감소함에 따라 SC-FDMA의 부반송파 매핑방식 중 하나인 IFDMA(interleaved FDMA) 방식의 대역폭은 좁아지지만, 오히려 그 첨두전력은 심각하게 증가할 수 있다. 실제 시스템에서는 증폭기의 전력효율을 높이기 위하여 높은 첨두전력을 특정 값 이하로 절사하는 클리핑 과정을 수행하게 된다. 신호의 클리핑은 고주파 성분의 재생성 및 신호의 왜곡을 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 파형정형된 IFDMA 신호에서 클리핑이 스펙트럼과 오율에 미치는 영향을 분석한다.
