Riassunto
Nowadays multicarrier modulation has become a key technology for communication systems; for example C-OFDM schemes are used in wireless LAN (802.11a/g/n), terrestrial digital television (DVB-T) and audio broadcaster (DAB) in Europe, and discrete multitone (DMT) in x.DSL systems.

The principal difficulty with OFDM is the occurrence of the coherent alignment of the time domain parallel signals at the transmitted side which forces system designer to introduce either additional hard computationally device or a suitable power back-off at the high power amplifier in order to cope with the large magnitude signal fluctuation. This leads to a significant increment in computational cost in the former case whereas in a worse allowable power utilization in the latter case with respect to the original system. However since both allowable power and computational cost are subject to a design as well as regulatory limit others solution must be accomplished. Peak reduction techniques reduce maximum-to-mean amplitude fluctuations nominating as a feasible solution. Peak-to-average power ratio is the key metric to measure this amplitude fluctuations at transmitter and to give a clear figure of merit for comparison among different techniques.
