A new method for synthesis of low-peak-factor signals
Adriaan Van Den Bos · IEEE Transactions on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing · 1987
For a specified power spectrum, the minimum-to-maximum amplitude range of a periodic signal depends on the phase angles of the harmonics. A low value of this range, which as a fraction of the root-mean-square value is usually called the peak factor, is often desirable. A new phase angle adjusting method is proposed producing lower peak factors than the conventional method.
