Abstract: To reduce computation complexity of the partial transmit sequence (PTS) for OFDM systems, a symmetrical dual binary tree search method is proposed, in which the search of the optimum phase factor is mapped to the search of a minimum cost path of a full binary tree. By selecting the number of intermediate
nodes and the search depth, the proposed method effectively reduce both peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and the computation complexity of PTS. Simulation results show that the method can make a good tradeoff between the computation complexity and the OFDM performance.

Key words:  orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), partial transmit sequence (PTS), peak-toaverage power ratio (PAPR), symmetrical dual binary tree
