High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of transmitted signals is a major drawback in Multicarrier modulation (MCM) systems. Companding transform is a well-known method to reduce the PAPR without restrictions on system parameters such as the number of subcarriers, frame format and constellation type. In this paper, a novel adaptive companding scheme, mainly focuses on compressing the large signals into the desirable distribution, is proposed to reduce the PAPR with low implementation complexity. In addition, formulas to calculate its PAPR and bit error rate (BER) performance are also derived. Simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme can achieve an effective tradeoff between PAPR reduction and BER performance by carefully choosing the companding parameter.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been adopted as a standard for various high data rate wireless communication systems due to the spectral bandwidth efficiency, robustness to frequency selective fading channels, etc. However, implementation of the OFDM system entails several difficulties. One of the major drawbacks is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which results in intercarrier interference, high out-of-band radiation, and bit error rate performance degradation, mainly due to the nonlinearity of the high power amplifier. This paper reviews the conventional PAPR reduction schemes and their modifications for achieving the low computational complexity required for practical implementation in wireless communication systems.

Tone Injection (TI) scheme significantly reduces the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of Multicarrier Modulation (MCM). However, the computational complexity of the TI scheme rises exponentially with the extra freedom constellation number. Therefore, a novel immune evolutionary mechanism-based TI scheme is proposed in this paper to reduce the computational complexity. By restraining undesirable degeneracy during the processing, this IEM scheme can dramatically increase the population fitness. Monte Carlo results show that proposed IEM-based TI scheme can achieve a significant PAPR and BER improvement with a low complexity.

이동통신 기지국 시스템에서 송신 신호의 PAR 성능을 (peak-to-average power ratio) 개선함으로써 범용 전력 증폭기의 사용이 가능하게 되며, 이로 인해 전체적인 기지국 비용의 절감을 기대할 수 있다. 일반적으로 PAR 값을 줄임으로 인해 기지국 송신신호의 인근 대역 간섭 제한 성능을 나타내는 ACLR이나 (adjacent channel leakage ratio) 품질을 나타내는 EVM이나 (error vector magnitude) PCDE 성능의 (peak code domain error) 열화를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 필터링 기반의 CFR 방식인 (crest factor reduction) FDCFR 알고리즘을 (filter-dependent CFR) 소개하며, 히스토그램 기반 코드 영역 보상(HBWCDC; histogram based waterfilling code domain compensation)기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 CFR 알고리즘은 PAR 감소뿐만 아니라 앞서 언급한 ACLR, EVM 및 PCDE등의 성능 열화를 방지한다.

The tone reservation method is one of the most effective pre-distortion methods for peak-to-average power ratio reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Its direct application to OFDM systems with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM) is, however, not effective. In this paper, two novel TR-based methods are proposed, specifically designed for OFDM/OQAM systems by taking into consideration the overlapping nature of OQAM signals. These two methods have different approaches to the generation of the peak-cancelling signal. The first one (overlapped scaling tone reservation) generates the peak-cancelling signal using a least squares approximation algorithm with possible adjacent symbol overlap; the second one (multi-kernel tone reservation) generates the peak-cancelling signal by using multiple impulse-like time domain kernels. It is shown by simulation that, when used in OFDM/OQAM systems, the proposed methods can provide better performance than the direct application of the existing controlled clipping tone reservation method, and even outperform the multi-block tone reservation method.

본 논문에서는 입력신호의 Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAR) 에 따라 원하는 출력전력 백-오프 (Output Power Back-Off, OPBO) 구간에서 최적의 효율특성을 가지는 반전 타입의 비대칭 도허티 전력증폭기의 설계 방법을 제안하였다. 원하는 OPBO 구간에서 비대칭 도허티 전력증폭기의 최적 효율특성을 얻기 위해 주 증폭기와 피킹 증폭기의 피크 전력비를 결정하였고 피크 전력비에 따른 $90^{\circ}$ 임피던스 변환기의 정확한 임피던스 값을 도출 하였다. 또한 비대칭 도허티 전력증폭기 설계시 최적의 성능을 얻기 위해 오프셋 라인의 길이와 전력 분배비를 계산하였다. 측정결과, 비대칭 도허티 전력증폭기는 CDMA 2000 1x 3-FA 테스트 신호에 대해서 평균 출력 전력 48.7 dBm에서 40%의 전력 효율과 -35 dBc의 인접 채널전력비를 얻었다.

One of the major disadvantages of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system is high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). Selected mapping (SLM) is an efficient distortionless PAPR reduction scheme which selects the minimum PAPR sequence from a group of independent phase rotated sequences. However, the SLM requires explicit side information and a large number of IFFT operations. In this letter we investigate a novel PAPR reduction method based on the radial basis function network and SLM.

직교 주파수 분할 다중 반송파 (OFDM; orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템의 최대 전력 대 평균 전력 비율 (PAPR; peak to average power ratio)을 감소하기 위한 톤 예약 기법 (TR; tone reservation)에서 PRT (peak reduction tone) 집합의 크기가 커질수록 PAPR 감소 성능은 향상되지만 데이터 전송 효율은 감소하는 상반 관계가 존재한다. 기존의 TR 기법에서는 고정된 PRT 집합을 사용하는 반면 본 논문에서 제안된 TR 기법은 입력 심볼의 PAPR 크기에 따라 적응적으로 PRT 집합을 선택하여 사용한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법과 유사한 데이터 전송 효율을 가지면서도 향상된 PAPR 감소 성능을 나타낸다.

Freezing of gait is a severely problem in people with Parkinson's disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the muscle activities of adductor longus, gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, rectus femoris, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior using Noraxon 8 channels EMG system during stop task in patients with Parkinson's disease. Seven parkinson's patients and age matched normal participants were recruited in the study. Filtered EMG signals were rectified, smoothed and integrated. To control for the altered timing and magnitude of activity, iEMG was normalized for time and peak value. The results indicated that the patients with Parkinson showed decreased gait cycle, stance phase, swing phase time, swing phase time ratio and increased stance phase time ratio than normal participants. The patients with Parkinson showed decreased gastrocnemius muscle activity time ratio, while increased tibialis anterior muscle activity time ratio than normal participants. During stance phase before stop, the patients with Parkinson showed relatively lower average and peak iEMG in anterior tibialis and gastrocnemius muscle than normal participants. During swing phase before stop, the patients with Parkinson showed relatively higher average iEMG in gastrocnemius muscle than normal participants. During stop phase, the patients with Parkinson showed relatively lower average and peak iEMG in anterior tibialis and gastrocnemius muscle than normal participants.
