Abstract
The present invention provides an OFDM symbol generating apparatus. The OFDM symbol generating apparatus generates a plurality of weight-applied symbol groups by applying a plurality of weights to a digital modulation symbol group, and generates a plurality of IFFT symbol groups by performing an IFFT operation on the plurality of weight-applied symbol groups. Subsequently, an IFFT symbol group having the minimum PAPR is selected from among the plurality of IFFT symbol groups such that a characteristic of a PAPR can be improved without reducing data transmission speed.
