【 摘 要 】

One main disadvantage of the multiple-input-multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system is that the signals transmitted on each antenna may experience high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR). We will present a new hybrid PAPR reduction technique that combines and optimizes three methods, namely convolutional code, successive suboptimal cross-antenna rotation and inversion (SS-CARI), and iterative modified companding and filtering. The results for the hybrid PAPR reduction technique show that this scheme significantly reduces the PAPR compared with SS-CARI alone; it can improve the bit error rate to levels better than what obtains with the space-time block coding MIMO-OFDM system, and the spectral splatter due to companding is also controlled by the use of frequency-domain filtering. In addition, it is a flexible technique in which the net gain can be optimized based on the requirements of scheme parameters, such as the code rate, the constraint length of the convolutional code, the number of subblocks for SS-CARI, and the companding parameters.
