多输入多输出-正交频分复用(MIMO-OFDM)系统固有的较高峰均功率比(PAPR)限制了该技术的发展与应用。为了抑制较高的PAPR值,在传统算法近似梯度投影(AGP)和选择性映射(SLM)的基础上提出了QAS算法,通过建立QPSK调制的SFBC MIMO-OFDM系统模型,仿真了QAS、AGP、SLM算法的PAPR以及误码率(BER)性能,并进一步研究了不同子载波以及不同支路数对QAS算法降低PAPR性能的影响。仿真结果表明,QAS算法与传统算法AGP、SLM相比,可以有效改善MIMO-OFDM系统发射信号的PAPR值,而不破坏系统的BER性能;QAS算法对PAPR的优化性能随着子载波数目(N=32,64,128,256,512,1 024)的增加而下降,随着支路数(M=4,8,16)的增加而提高。
MIMO-OFDM systems which take full advantage of time, frequency and space di- versity have become a key technology and promising candidate for wireless communications. MI- MO-OFDM systems have an inherent drawback in that the transmitted signals may suffer from a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which limit itss development and application. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed, which is based on the combination of AGP and SLM tech- niques for PAPR reduction in QPSK-modulated SFBC MIMO-OFDM systems. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves a significant reduction in PAPR without sacrifi- cing the BER performance ; The PAPR behavior of the transmitted MIMO-OFDM under QAS in- creases considerably as the value of the number of subcarriers (N=32, 64, 128, 256,512, 1 024) and branches (M=4, 8, 16) increases.
