Abstract

In Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, a simple clipping method is widely used in order to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio since it is easy to implement. The performance analysis of the clipping approach has been previously introduced in the literature. Clipping, however, is a nonlinear process and may cause two major undesirable effects" (i) spectral regrowth, which causes unacceptable out-of-band radiation; and (ii) distortion of the desired signal, which increases bit-error-rate (BER). The out-of-band radiation can and often is suppressed by filtering, which leads to peak regrowth. Therefore, iterative clipping and filtering is required until the desired clipping level is achieved. However, this iterative process makes BER estimation difficult. This letter provides expressions and analytical techniques for estimating the attenuation factor, error vector magnitude, and BER, using a noise enhancement factor that is obtained by simulation. Simulation results show strong agreement with our semi-analytical results for 1024 subcarriers.
