But one of the major drawbacks of OFDM system is, high peak to average power ratio which demands costly linear amplifiers with wide dynamic range. In this paper, less-complexity based partial transmit sequence technique is used for reducing the PAPR of OFDM system. PTS techniques can improve the PAPR statistics of an OFDM signals, but the computational complexity is a potential problem for the implementation in practical systems. Inorder to reduce this computational complexity, an optimization algorithm can be used. This paper shows the comparison between two population-based stochastic search techniques which is widely used in many scientific and engineering fields. Here, the Differential Evolutionary (DE) algorithm is compared with the Genetic Algorithm (GA). April - June 2016 Copyright © 2016 i-manager publications.
