Abstract

Abstract Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) revolutionizes the transmission technologies, including, optical as well as wireless communication. In OFDM the orthogonal nature of carriers makes it very good technique for data transfer. Still the out-of-band (OOB) radiation in OFDM leads to inter symbol interference (ISI) and bit error rate (BER) goes down. Moreover amplitude variations of the subcarriers lead to power variations and peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem. To overcome these issues a novel filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) scheme is proposed, where each carrier is allowed to pass through to a separate filter and orthogonality among subcarriers is relaxed. Thus FBMC has better OOB and PAPR performance. In this work, we also have evaluated the PAPR performance by the simulation results. For the improvement of PAPR nonlinear companding scheme along with clipping is presented. The hybrid technique (clipping + companding) parameters are set in such a way that PAPR is reduced while signal power remains constant. Results are also compared with recent methods and it has been found that the proposed technique preforms better than other chosen techniques.
