An Optimized Design Method of PSWFs Pulse Group Based on DFT Precoding

Abstract

Aiming at the problems of non-sinusoidal time-domain multiple quadrature modulation signals based on Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions (PSWFs), as the number of pulses increases, the bandwidth efficiency of the modulation signal frequency band decreases, the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) and the implementation complexity are high, a method for optimal design of PSWFs pulse groups based on DFT precoding is proposed. The PSWFs pulse signal frequency domain generation method is adopted. By introducing the precoding matrix, the multi-channel PSWFs pulse group signals are optimized and designed, and then the input data is redistributed to obtain new PSWFs pulse group signals. Experimental results show that this method can further improve the power efficiency of the modulated signal and effectively reduce the peak-to-average power ratio of the modulated signal without changing the orthogonality of the original PSWFs subcarriers. As the number of carriers increases, the suppression effect on the peak-to-average power ratio becomes more obvious.
