What is the PAPR of QPSK?
The Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of is the number of subcarriers. In this example, all amplitudes and the peak amplitude of QPSK are √2V.
What is PAPR in OFDM?
The PAPR is defined as the peak power within one DFT block (one OFDM symbol) normalized by the average signal power. From: 4G LTE/LTE-Advanced for Mobile Broadband, 2011.
What causes PAPR?
PAPR occurs when in a multicarrier system the different sub-carriers are out of phase with each other. At each instant they are different with respect to each other at different phase values.
