PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems with Large Number of Sub-Carriers by Carrier Interferometry Approaches

High Peak-to-Average Power Ratio(PAPR)is one of the major drawbacks of Orthogonal Frequency DivisionMultiplexing(OFDM)systems.This paper presents the structures of the particular bit sequences leading to the maximumPAPR(PAPR_(max))in Carrier-Interferometry OFDM(CI/OFDM)and Pseudo Orthogonal Carrier-Interferometry OFDM(PO-CI/OFDM)systems for Binary Phase Shift Keying(BPSK)modulation.Furthermore,the simulation and analysisof PAPR_(max) and PAPR cumulative distribution in CI/OFDM and PO-CI/OFDM systems with 2048 sub-carriers are pre-sented in this paper.The results show that the PAPR of OFDM system with large number of sub-carriers reduced evidentlyvia CI approaches.

Carrier fringe method of moire interferometry for tiny strain measurements in micro-field

In this paper, we demonstrate a new optical method for tiny strain measurements based on the principle of carrier fringes of moire interferometry. A cross-line grating with frequency of 1200 lp/mm is replicated on the specimen surface, and the strain can be deduced from the changes in carrier fringes before and after the deformation of an object. Four coherent laser beams are used to obtain the carrier fringe patterns of field U and V. Both theoretical analysis and numerical simulation indicate that the ideal accuracy of strain can be controlled within a range of ±1με. Case study of a plane extension experiment shows that the measurement accuracy of strain can be controlled within the range of ±10με. The average strain values of every row of field U and every column of field V can be obtained by using this method, and approximated strain of every pixel in the whole-field can be further acquired, and thus it is possible to measure tiny strains occurred in a micro-field. The technology in this paper can provide comprehensive information for analyzing related mechanical content in the field of MEMS.

Improvement and Analysis of Carrier-Interferometry Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing System

This paper proposes to use Fast Fourier Transform （ FFT ） / Inverse Fast Fourier Transform （IFFT）, instead of vector-matrix multiplication, to implement the spreading/despreoding in Carrier-Interferometry Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （ CI/OFDM） and Pseudo-Orthogonal Carrier lnterferometry OFDM （PO-CI/OFDM）. That can improve the signal processing efficiency of CI/OFDM and PO-CI/OFDM systems by about 2N/log2N and 2N/（ 1 ＋ log2 N） times respectively and dose not make any difference to the system function and performance. Moreover, the effi- ciency benefits will increase with the increase of the number of sub-carriers. In addition to that, we point out that the transmitter of CI/OFDM is actually technically equivalent to that of a single-carrier system with cyclic-prefix and the receiver of CI/OFDM is a typical OFDM receiver with CI despreading. Hence the low Peak-to-Average Power Ratio （PA- PR） property and high anti-fading performance of CI/OFDM system can be well explained .

ZP-CI/OFDM:A Power Efficient Wireless Transmission Technology

Low power efficiency is a deficiency in traditional Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （OFDM） systems. To counter this problem, a new wireless transmission technology based on Zero-Padding Carrier Interferometry OFDM （ZP-CI/OFDM） is proposed. In a ZP-CI/OFDM system, transmission symbols are spread to all OFDM subcarriers via carrier interferometry codes. This reduces the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio （PAPR） that traditional OFDM suffers and also exploits frequency diversity gain. By zero-padding at the transmitter, advanced receiver technologies can be adopted for ZP-CI/OFDM so that frequency diversity gain can be further utilized and the power efficiency of the system is improved.

A PO-CI/MC-CDMA scheme for high modulation styles

Through analyzing the theoretical spreading principle,it has been proved in this paper that the benefit of pseudo-orthogonal carrier interferometry(PO-CI)spreading code is not supported when complex signal modulation(e.g.,quadrature phase-shift keying(QPSK)and quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM))types are employed.On this basis,a novel and feasible structure for this problem is brought forward.Within the structure mentioned,instead of complex modulation patterns,pulse amplitude modulation(PAM)combined with PO-CI spreading code is utilized.This allows us to maintain the throughput increase of a multi-carrier code division multiple access(MC-CDMA)system with minimal loss in performance and no bandwidth expansion.
