PAPR Performance of IDFT-Based Uncoded OFDM Signals With Null Subcarriers and Transmit Filtering

Overview In this paper, the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is evaluated for the uncoded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signals generated by using the IDFT procedure. The power spectral density of the transmitted OFDM signal is derived, taking into account the effects of cyclic prefix, windowing, digital-to-analog converter, null-subcarriers, and analog transmit filter. The PAPR distribution is then analyzed based on the extreme value theory. It is shown that the PAPR distribution is parameterized only by the length of the observation interval and the root mean square bandwidth of the signal, whose computation requires the PSD of the transmitted signal. Numerical results confirm that the proposed analysis accurately predicts the PAPR distribution of practical OFDM signals.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: The right technology for the right job

This creates a dynamic echo environment where the transmitted signal is further corrupted. Power cables employ low-grade plastic that is unfriendly to high-frequency signals as the absorption per unit length is very high.

Marks & Spencer starts tracking tag trials

The scanners operate at frequencies and power permitted for RFID radio signals in Europe which are around eight times lower than those used in the US. The tags also have no power to emit a signal and only release their unique identification number...

Wi-Fi users warned of fake base station threat

Once an unknowing user has connected to an evil twin, a hacker can intercept transmitted data. Because wireless networks are based on radio signals they can be easily detected by unauthorised users tuning into the same frequency.

Microsoft jumps into RFID management

Microsoft plans early next year to release the RFID Services Platform, a "middleware" product that connects the hardware that monitors RFID signals with the business software that can make sense of the information.

Radioactive: Bluetooth - survival of the fastest

The opposing technology approaches are orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and direct sequence (DS)-UWB. The former method, backed by Intel, is more complex: it chops up the signal and sends it over multiple frequency bands.

Wi-fi patent threat looms after US ruling

Csiro claims its patent covers a core method for transmitting wireless signals that use orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation, which breaks signals into different parts to transmit data simultaneously over different...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
