In this paper, the partial transmit sequence (PTS)
technique known as one of the most efficient peak to average
power ratio (PAPR) reduction schemes is applied to the recently
proposed fifth generation (5G) waveform candidate called
universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC) for PAPR reduction
process. Thanks to our way of application in which the PTS
technique is employed before the process of subdividing the
bandwidth into the number of sub-bands, the PAPR
minimization is carried out in a very simple and efficient manner.
In the simulations, the PAPR reduction performance of the PTS
technique is analyzed for different search numbers (SNs). In
addition, the effect of PTS on the power spectral density (PSD)
and bit error rate (BER) performance of the UFMC system
employing solid state power amplifier (SSPA) as a high power
amplifier (HPA) is investigated for different input back off (IBO)
and smoothness coefficient (p) values.
