%A K.M. Yew %A V. Jeoti %T A novel signal independent technique for PAPR reduction in OFDM systems %C Chennai %P 308-311 %X New techniques for the reduction of peak to average power ratio (PAPR) in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems are presented. These techniques are based on precoding the constellation symbols with Zadoff-Chu and Generalized Chirp-Like (GCL) precoders. The proposed techniques can achieve a PAPR reduction of up to 4.5 dB for OFDM systems. The techniques have been shown to be effective and have low complexity. © 2007 IEEE. %K Codes (symbols); Large scale systems; Signal interference, Chirp Like (GCL) precoders; Constellation symbols, Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing %J Proceedings of ICSCN 2007: International Conference on Signal Processing Communications and Networking %L scholars244 %O cited By 17; Conference of 2007 International Conference on Signal Processing, Communications and Networking, ICSCN 2007 ; Conference Date: 22 February 2007 Through 24 February 2007; Conference Code:70128 %R 10.1109/ICSCN.2007.350753 %D 2007
