Abstract
Recent developments in broadband wireless
technology heightened the need for WiMAX which assures
high-speed data services. Mobile WiMAX is grounded on
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing/orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing Access (OFDM/OFDMA)
technology which is an increasing important technique in
LTE systems. This paper describes the OFDM transceiver
implementation using software-defined radio system (SDR).
A SDR is a radio communication system where elements have
been generally implemented in hardware are rather
implemented by software on a personal computer. In this paper,
the software part is realized using GNU Radio and the
hardware part is implemented using USRP N210. OFDM poses
a problem of a Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) or high
crest factor. To stave off this problem either High Power
Amplifiers (HPAs) with large dynamic range or PAPR reduction
techniques are used. The former scheme raises cost of the
system, while the latter induces redundancy or distortion.
This paper presents a novel architecture (which combines
channel coding and clipping) for the PAPR reduction and
analyzes various parameters which effects the performance
of OFDM such as power spectral density, the crest factor and
BER. Channel coding part is framed of three steps
randomization, Forward Error Correction (FEC) and
interleaving. In clipping, certain threshold limits the
amplitude of time domain samples. Without filtering, clipping
causes out-of-band radiation. The paper analyzes the out band
radiation value (at 2.395 GHz) and PAPR reduction with respect
to clipping threshold value. This scheme is preferred because
of its lower complexity and hence would be cheaper to
implement than conventional reduction techniques.
Experimental results prove that the clipping method reduced
PAPR significantly as the number of clip and filtering level is
increased.
