On the distribution of the peak-to-average power ratio in OFDM signals.

On the distribution of the peak-to-average power ratio in OFDM signals.

The distribution of the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in strictly band-limited orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals is studied. Assuming that the base-band OFDM signal is characterized as a band-limited complex Gaussian process, we first attempt to derive the exact distribu...
