Summary Goal: reducing maximum output power to near average power by limiting the set of transmitted signals through coding Complementary Golay Sequences have
peak-to-average power less then 2 Reed-Muller Coding used to produce these sequences out of information sequence Effects of PAPR The power amplifiers at the transmitter need to have a large linear range of operation.
nonlinear distortions and peak amplitude limiting
produce inter-modulation between the different carriers and introduce additional interference into the system.
additional interference leads to an increase in the Bit
Error Rate (BER) of the system. Effects of PAPR one way to avoid non-linear distortion is by forcing the amplifier to work in its linear region. Unfortunately such solution is not power efficient and thus not suitable for wireless communication.
