Abstract

Saeedi et al. have recently proposed a DFT-based method (DBM) for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems to compensate for the performance degradation caused by clipping distortion. They have analyzed the performance of the DBM only in an additive white Gaussian noise channel. But, it is known that the main advantage of an OFDM system is its robustness in fading channels where this system turns a frequency selective channel into a set of parallel flat non-selective fading sub-channels. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the DBM over a frequency selective fading channel with flat fading Rician sub-channels. Our results show that similar to additive white Gaussian noise channel case, the DBM can properly mitigate the clipping distortion in OFDM signals over fading channels. Furthermore, the performance of a Hybrid method that consists of a channel coding method and the DBM is also examined over fading channels.
