Analytical Investigation on Papr Reduction in OFDM Systems Using Golay Codes

Abstract Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a common technique in multi carrier communications. One of the major issues in developing OFDM is the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Golay sequences have been introduced to construct 16-QAM and 256-QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) code for the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), reducing the peak-to-average power ratio. In this paper we have considered the use of coding to reduce the peakto- average power ratio (PAPR) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. By using QPSK Golay sequences, 16 and 256 QAM sequences with low PAPR are generated</jats:p
