ABSTRACT
Wireless communications is the core aspect for success of the telecommunications industry. It has the potential to support applications which require high speed and quality in the information transfer between devices which are portable and also located anywhere in the world. MIMO-OFDM is an extension of the OFDM technology and offers space diversity, improved capacity and high antenna gain. It also avoids inter symbol interference inherent in OFDM systems. Another problem associated with OFDM signal is Peak to average power ratio (PAPR) which needs to be mitigated otherwise distortion of the signal would take place if the transmitter contains nonlinear components such as power amplifiers (PAs). Goppa coded information was analysed earlier to reduce PAPR of OFDM signal. In this paper the capability of PAPR reduction using hybrid technique of Goppa codes and partial transmit sequence (PTS method) is analysed over MIMO-OFDM signal.
