PAPR definitions ¾ One of the attempts to determine the PAPR distribution of came from [1] The 2.8 value has been obtained by simulations, where the PAPR of approaches the PAPR of for large L. In practice L=4 is enough to detect the presence of continuous-time peaks with satisfactory precision. [1] R. Van Nee and A. de Wild, "Reducing the peak-to-average power ratio of OFDM," Proc.
