Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform Based Multi Carrier Communication Systems

In this paper, DT-CWT-OFDM waveform based on dual tree complex wavelet conversion (DT-CWT) is introduced to enhance the achievement of the classical OFDM waveform. IFFT/FFT blocks used in the classical OFDM waveform are replaced with IDTCWT /DTCWT blocks in the DT-CWT-OFDM waveform. In order to confirm the achievement of the investigated waveform and compare it with the waveforms of classical OFDM and discrete wavelet conversion based OFDM (DWT-OFDM), computer simulation studies are carried out on AWGN, flat Rayleigh damping and frequency-selective Rayleigh damping channels. It is seen from the attained simulation outcomes that the DT-CWT-OFDM waveform has better achievement than the classical OFDM and DWT-OFDM waveforms and also provides approximately 6 dB SNR gain against the classical OFDM and approximately 1.5 dB SNR gain against the DWT-OFDM for a BER value of lE-4.
