PAPR reduction in OFDM systems using genetic algorithm-based SLM technique

In this thesis, PAPR problem encountered in OFDM modulation and techniques to reduce this problem are examined. Information is given about the traditional OFDM and WOFDM and Performance comparison was made by adding SLM technique, one of the PAPR reduction methods, to the system. Then, this structure was tried to be developed by optimizing it with genetic algorithm (GA). It is mentioned that which method is more suitable. MATLAB code is written and obtained PAPR values are compared. Graphical results of both methods are given. The results were interpreted and examined according to the most efficient result.
