from 8dB to 20dB. The default value is 10 dB, meaning that a light crest factor reduction
is performed.
The following figures display the Crest Factor parameter impact on a signal:
Crest Factor
setting = 20dB
(No reduction)
Without any crest factor
reduction, the PAPR is 14.4dB
Crest Factor
setting = 11dB
After the adjustment, PAPR is
10.8dB
Note: In the screenshots above, the measurements are made using the <RF> value
because the crest factor limit is fixed in the modulator using the RF value.
Please note that some equipment may consider the <ENV> (Envelope)
value, which is also commonly used and is about 3db less.
