ABSTRACT

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is chosen for very great speed information communications. It is a spectrally highly systematic well organized method. In this paper a performance study and peak to average power ratio (PAPR) assessment has been done for an OFDM system of wireless communication system under diverse modulation schemes. This paper also studies the effect of oversampling. The results of several simulations show that the PAPR of OFDM is totally dependent upon the number of subcarriers (N). As the N increases then the PAPR of OFDM system also increases.
