The High Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) could be a severe Problem in OFDM performance since it causes the significant distortion to the transmitting signal through a nonlinear device such as High Power Amplifier (HPA). In this paper, the performance of Peak cancellation method according to the HPA characteristic is comparatively analyzed with the clipping and windowing methods. The BER performances and the out-band power spectrums are demonstrated in detail.

In this paper, we propose a pre-distortion method using the NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithm to cope with hish PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) problem in OFDM communication system. This proposed scheme estimates the distortion characteristics of HPA, and changes the characteristic against the distortion. Therefore, it can be shown that the adaptive characteristic of the NLMS pre-distorter is good to track the various nonlinear characteristic of HPA, even though HPA characteristic is changed by temperature variation or aging. From the performance analysis, SNR efficiency of NLMS pre-distorter is about $0.5\;\cal{dB}$ less than that of common numerical non-adaptive pre-distorter, when IBO(Input Back Off) is $0\;\cal{dB}$. However, the NLMS pre-distorter is better than the common numerical pre-distorter, because these two pre-distorters have similar performance in higher than $3\;\cal{dB}$ IBO, and the NLMS pre-distorter maintains the constant performance even though characteristic of HPA is changed.

The non-linearity of HPA(high power amplifier) which is an important component in modern communications systems introduces AM/AM and AM/PM distortion so that the transmitted signal is deteriorated. And, the I/Q unbalances and phase error which are generated by non-ideal components are inevitable physical phenomena and lead to performance degradation when we implement a practical two-dimensional (2-D) modulation system. In this paper, we provide an exact and general expression involving the 2-D Gaussian Q-function for the error probabilities of arbitrary 2-D signaling with I/Q amplitude and phase unbalances in nonlinear additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels by using the coordinate rotation and shifting technique.

Recently, researches for new waveforms have been carried in order to satisfy KPI for 5G mobile communication system. UFMC and FBMC are well known as ways to reduce OOB power. In this paper, we analyze spectrum of OFDM, UFMC, and FBMC system under nonlinear HPA environment. And then we evaluate and analyze performance of these systems under the same environment. As simulation results, OOB power of OFDM, UFMC, and FBMC increases with HPA nonlinearity increasement. Especially, OOB power of FBMC is the largest increase due to HPA nonlinearity. Also, BER performance of these systems is degraded by increasement of HPA nonlinearity. Therefore, In this paper, we can confirm that a system with low-complexity and high-speed processing is advantageous, because BER performance and OOB power characteristic of these systems are degraded to similar level, when these systems are implemented in real world.

The OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) systems are based en the transmission of a given set of signals on multiple orthogonal subcarriers, resulting in large variation in amplitude of transmit signals, and severe distortion by nonlinear characteristic of a high power amplifier (HPA) is unavoidable. We propose in this paper a computationally efficient structure of a baseband predistorter for compensation of nonlinear distortion by the HPA. Moreover, a predistorter which can be utilized in high speed transmission systems such as wireless ATM based on the proposed structure is designed using VHDL, and synthesized by the Synopsys tool.

When multi-carriers are applied to the high power amplifier(HPA) having nonlinear characteristics, the HPA output has unwanted IMD signals. The IMD signal is noise in the HPA. The magnitude and phase of the main and IMD signal of HPA output are changed as the input signal power is changed. If we know exactly the magnitude and phase characteristics of the main and IMD signal, we can design a more adequate linearizer and understand the characteristics of transistor. In this paper the magnitude and phase of the main and IMD signal of HPA output are measured and analyzed for variation of the input power.

In this paper, an adaptive predistortion scheme is proposed to compensate nonlinear distortions caused by high power amplifiers (HPA) in OFDM systems. A complex Wiener-Hammerstein model (WHM) is used to describe input-output relationship of HPA with linear dynamics. The predistorter is directly identified by complex power series model with memory, which is an approximate inverse of the HPA expressed by the WHM. The effectiveness of the proposed adaptive compensation scheme is validated by numerical simulation for 64QAM-OFDM systems.

In this paper, we newly propose the binary CA-CDMA(constant amplitude CDMA) system using pre-coding method to solve the high PAPR problem caused by multi-user signal transmission in the CDMA system. 4-user CA-CDMA, the basis of proposed binary CA-CDMA system, makes binary output signal for 4 input users. It produces the output of binary(${\pm}$2) amplitude by using a parity signal resulting from the XOR operation of 4 users data. Another sub-channel or more bandwidth is not necessary because it is transmitted together with user data and can be easily recovered in the receiver. The extension of the number of users can be possible by the simple repetition of the basic binary 4-user CA-CDMA. For example, binary 16-user CA-CDMA is made easily by allocating the four 4-user CA-CDMA systems in parallel and leading the four outputs to the fifth 4-user CA-CDMA system as input, because the output signal of each 4-user CA-CDMA is also binary. By the same extension procedure, binary 64 and 256-user CA-CDMA systems can be made with the constant amplitude. As a result, the code rate of this proposed CA-CDMA system is just 1 and binary CA-CDMA does not change the transmission rate with the constant output signal(PAPR = 0 ㏈). Therefore, the power efficiency of the HPA can be maximized without the nonlinear distortion. From the simulation results, it is verified that the conventional CDMA system has multi-level output signal, but the proposed binary CA-CDMA system always produces binary output. And it is also found that the BER of conventional CDMA system is increased by nonlinear HPA, but the BER of proposed binary CA-CDMA system is not changed.
