Abstract
Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is one of most detrimental aspects in any wireless communication
system using multicarrier modulation technique like OFDM, which cause power degradation and spectral
spreading. Due to the simplest way for PAPR reduction, clipping technique has been proposed and seems to
be promising for use in commercial system. In this paper, we mainly focus on Amplitude clipping and
filtering method. Later in this paper, simulation result shows the PAPR and BER performance with clipping
and filtering with different clipping ratios. The BER of the original OFDM signal is approximate
at
SNR = 10 dB. With clipping, BER is increased to just higher than
at the SNR = 10
dBandtheBERperformance improves a little bit with filtering.
