Abstract: While many questions still surround the creation and deployment of the smart grid, the need for a reliablecommunications infrastructure is indisputable. Developers of the IEEE 1901.2 standard identified difficult channel conditionscharacteristic of low-frequency powerline communications and implemented an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)architecture using advanced modulation and channel-coding techniques. This strategy helped to ensure a robust communicationsnetwork for the smart grid.
正交頻分復(fù)用 （Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing，OFDM）是一種多載波調(diào)制技術(shù)，由于具有良好的抗多徑干擾性能，適用于高速數(shù)據(jù)傳輸，OFDM成為近年來人們研究的熱點(diǎn)。但是其峰均比較高，應(yīng)用受到了限制，因此有必要研究降低PAPR的方法。本文首先介紹了OFDM的基本原理和PAPR的基本概念，然后討論了目前常用的降低PAPR的方法，最后對(duì)SLM和PTS方法進(jìn)行了MATLAB仿真。
