Abstract: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been currently under intense research for broadband wireless transmission due to its robustness against multipath fading. However OFDM signals have a problem with high Peak-to-Average power ratio (PAPR) and thus, a power amplifier must be carefully manufactured to have a linear input-output characteristic or to have a large input power back-off. The drawbacks of high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) can outweigh all the potential benefits of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signals. In this Paper, a sophisticated PAPR reduction technique, named Iterative Clipping and filtering (ICF) is proposed for OFDM system. By considering the example of OFDM, with Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (QPSK) mapping, simulation results under Matlab environment show that the proposed method performs well in reducing PAPR.
