Low-splatter peak-to-average signal reduction with interpolation
First Claim
1. A method of low-splatter peak-to-average reduction for a linear communication system, comprising the steps of:
- sampling an input signal at a first rate, yielding a plurality of input samples;
determining when at least one of the plurality of input samples is above a first threshold;
when at least one of the plurality of input samples is above a first threshold, determining which of the plurality of input samples is a local maximum;
interpolating at least one value between the local maximum and at least one sample adjacent to the local maximum, wherein the at least one sample is one of the plurality of input samples;
comparing the at least one value and the local maximum to determine which has the highest magnitude;
comparing the value having the highest magnitude to a second threshold; and
when the value having the highest magnitude is above the second threshold, centering an attenuating window at the value having the highest magnitude and applying the attenuating window to at least some of the plurality of input samples.

Abstract
A method of low-splatter peak-to-average reduction for a linear communication system includes the step of sampling (1201) an input signal at a first rate, yielding a plurality of input samples. When at least one (1401, 1403, and 1405) of the plurality of input samples is above a first threshold, a local maximum (1401) is determined (1207) from among the plurality of input samples. At least one value (1407 and 1409) is interpolated (1207) between the local maximum and at least one sample (1405) adjacent to the local maximum. The at least one value and the local maximum are compared (1211) to determine which has the highest magnitude. The value having the highest magnitude (1407) is compared (1213) to a second threshold. When the value having the highest magnitude (1407) is above the second threshold, an attenuating window is centered (1505) at the value having the highest magnitude and applying (1507) the attenuating window to at least some of the plurality of input samples.
