Abstract

The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with space-frequency block coding (SFBC) is an attractive technique due to its robustness for time selective fading channels. SFBC MIMO-OFDM systems have a high computational complexity since the number of inverse fast Fourier transforms (IFFTs) required scales in direct proportion to the number of antennas at the transmitter. However, the SFBC MIMO-OFDM system also inherits from OFDM systems the drawback of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal. In this paper, various PAPR reduction schemes have been discussed. Index Terms Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), Space frequency block codes (SFBC).
