Peak signal power is an important factor in the implementation of multicarrier (MC) modulation schemes like OFDM, in wireless and wireline communication systems. This book describes tools necessary for analyzing and controlling the peak-to-average power ratio in MC systems, and how these techniques are applied in practical designs. The author starts with an overview of multicarrier signals and basic tools and algorithms, before discussing properties of MC signals in detail: discrete and continuous maxima; statistical distribution of peak power; codes with constant peak-to-average power ratio...

Presenting the proceedings of the 1st French-Israeli Workshop on Algebraic Coding, held in Paris in July 1993, this volume contains papers on convolutional codes and special channels, covering codes, cryptography, sequences, graphs and codes, sphere packings and lattices.
