Abstract

OFDM is a popular and widely accepted modulation and multiplexing technique in the area of wireless communication. IEEE 802.15, a wireless specification defined for WPAN is an emerging wireless technology for short range multimedia applications. Two general categories of 802.15 are the low rate 802.15.4 (ZigBee) and high rate 802.15.3 (UWB). In their physical (PHY) layer design, OFDM is a competing technique due to the various advantages it renders in the practical wireless media. OFDM has been a popular technique for many years and adopted as the core technique in a number of wireless standards. It makes the system more immune to interference like InterSymbol Interference (ISI) and InterCarrier Interference (ICI) and dispersive effects of the channel. It is also a spectrally efficient scheme since the spectra of the signal are overlapping in nature. Despite these advantages OFDM suffers from a serious problem of high Peak to Average Power. This limits the system’s capabilities and increases the complexity. This paper compares the signal distortion technique of Amplitude Clipping and the distortionless technique of SLM for Peak to Average Power reduction.
