Analysis of the Peak-To-Average Power Ratio for OFDM/OQAM

OFDM/OQAM is now a recognized alternative to conventional OFDM for the transmission of signals over multipath fading channels. Indeed with OFDM/OQAM an appropriate pulse-shaping can be introduced to fight against time and frequency dispersion. This paper focuses on a theoretical and experimental analysis of the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) for OFDM/OQAM. It is shown that the best complementary cumulative density function (CCDF) is obtained with orthogonal prototype filters
