Abstract
An OFDM transmitter comprises a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) spreader configured to spread reference-signal symbols with Fourier coefficients to generate DFT-spread reference symbols, which are mapped to OFDM subcarriers. An OFDM modulator, such as an inverse-DFT, modulates the DFT-spread reference symbols onto the OFDM subcarriers to produce an OFDM transmission signal with low peak-to-average power.
