Clipping Type
Set the waveform clipping type to circular or rectangular clipping.
The clipping function enables you to reduce peak–to–average power, and consequently
spectral regrowth, by clipping the waveform. Clipping limits waveform power peaks by
clipping the I and Q data to a selected percentage of its highest peak.
Circular clipping
Circular clipping (|I+jQ| clipping) is applied to the composite I/Q data (I and Q data are
equally clipped). The clipping level is constant for all phases of the vector and appears
as a circle in the vector representation
Rectangular clipping
Rectangular clipping (|I|,|Q| clipping) is independently applied the I and Q data. The
clipping level is different for I and Q, and appears as a rectangle in the vector
representation.
