We found that the use of Huffman coding reduces the PAR by about 6 dB. Also we have investigated the effect of PAR reduction due to Huffman coding through testing the spectral spreading and the inband distortion due to HPA with different IBO values. We found a complete match of our expectation from the proposed solution with the obtained simulation results.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {7}, year = {2008}, pages = {1365 - 1369}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/1174}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/19}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 19, 2008}, }
