    Performance of edge windowing for OFDM under non-linear power amplifier effects
    (IEEE, 2017) Göken, Çağrı; Dizdar, Onur
    Edge windowing is a windowing technique for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signals based on the idea of using shorter cyclic prefix (CP) and longer window lengths at the edge subcarriers while keeping the symbol length fixed. In this study, we investigate the performance of OFDM signals with edge windowing under non-linear power amplifier (PA) effects by observing out-of-band (OOB) emission characteristics, average error vector magnitude (EVM) and coded block error rate (BLER) performance. We explore whether the possible gains over conventional windowing in the presence of PA is possible. We show that the edge windowing can still provide improvements over conventional windowing in terms of OOB emission suppression under various PA models at the expense of increased average EVM, whereas the channel coding substantially mitigates the performance loss due to inter-symbol and inter-carrier interference (ISI-ICI) effects arising as a result of shorter CP length at the edge subcarriers.

    Reducing the dispersion errors of the finite-difference time-domain method for multifrequency plane-wave excitations
    (Taylor & Francis, 2003) Oğuz, U.; Gürel, Levent
    We demonstrate the applications of discrete-time signal-processing (SP) techniques for the purpose of generating accurate plane waves in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The SP techniques are used either to reduce the high-frequency content of the source excitation or to compute more precise incident-field values in the computational domain. The effects of smoothing windows of various lengths, digital lowpass filters of various bandwidths and characteristics, and polynomial interpolation schemes of various orders are investigated. Arbitrary signals with multifrequency content are considered.
