Reducing the PAPR by utilisation of the LDPC code (2009)
Journal Article
Daoud, O., & Alani, O. (2009). Reducing the PAPR by utilisation of the LDPC code. IET Communications, 3(4), 520. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-com.2008.0344

Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is a major drawback in most multi-carrier communication techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplex system (OFDM). OFDM consists of lots of independent modulated subcarriers, as a result the amplitu... Read More about Reducing the PAPR by utilisation of the LDPC code.
