PAPR Reduction in Coherent Optical OFDM System using Modified Sliding Norm Transformer

Abstract

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing is one of the most important multiple carrier modulation format, which has many applications in wireless communication and optical communication. It is considered as an excellent method for fast optical communication inferable from its high spectral efficiency and its strength to path losses. Peak to average power ratio is regarded as one of the main problems that are experienced by the optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system, which directly affects the characteristics of the system. The current paper proposes an efficient technique to reduce Peak to Average Power Ratio by the modified Dursun’s method or the so called modified discrete sliding norm transformer in coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system for the first time to the base of our knowledge consequently. The proposed technique does not need to send side information to the receiver; also, it does not degrade bandwidth. This algorithm lessens Peak to Average Power Ratio in the optical coherent Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing system to about 4.15 dB at complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) probability of 10-3 and improves the system performance.
