In recent years, Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) has garnered significant attention as a compelling alternative to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). FBMC is lauded for its superior frequency efficiency, surpassing that of OFDM, while also exhibiting a reduced occurrence of out-of-band (OOB) emissions. However, FBMC does grapple with the challenge of a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), a concern that has persisted from OFDM systems. To address this, FBMC has incorporated PAPR reduction techniques based on OFDM principles. Our project aimed to delve into an analysis of various modulation schemes, including FBMC, UFM, and OFDM, which are pivotal in the realm of 5G communications. We assessed critical aspects like PAPR, Bit Error Rate (BER), Spectral Density, and Spectrum Efficiency to gauge the efficacy of these modulation techniques. Furthermore, we explored the adaptability of these schemes to diverse wireless communication channels, thereby augmenting their utility. To assess the system's capacity for accommodating multiple users, we considered the potential integration of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology.
