Abstract
The combined complementary encoder and modulation system for an OFDM transmitter system combines complementary coding and modulation and exploits the similarity of their mathematical structure to reduce implementation complexity. In doing so, the improved OFDM transmitter system uses complementary codes to reduce the power-to-average power (PAP) ratio of the transmitted signal. Additionally, the combined complementary encoder and modulation system can be modified to provide scaleablity, which allows a transmitter to operate in various transmission environments. More precisely, scaleability refers to the transmitter's capability to adapt the bit rate of the data, so as to satisfy varying signal bandwidth, delay spreads, tolerance and signal-to-noise ratio requirements.
