Abstract: High data rate wireless communications demands robustness, high spectral efficiency, frequency selective fading, and low computational complexity. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the most promising technologies to achieve these goals. OFDM can be used in conjunction with a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) transreceiver to increase the diversity gain and/or the system capacity by exploiting spatial domain. Because the OFDM system effectively provides numerous parallel narrowband channels, MIMO-OFDM is considered a key technology in emerging high-data rate systems such as 4G, IEEE 802.16, and IEEE 802.11n. However there is one main disadvantage of MIMO-OFDM that is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitter’s output signal on different antennas. High Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) for MIMO-OFDM system is still a demanding area and difficult issue. By now, for reducing PAPR, numerous techniques have been recommended. In this paper Hadamard Transform based Selective Level Mapping as method of PAPR reduction technique has been proposed and simulated. The whole simulation work has been tested on image signal and the results at both transmitter and receiver have been verified in terms of various graphs and plots.
