Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may generate an input signal including information for transmission over a wireless channel. The UE may perform a first waveform shaping stage on the input signal to increase an in-band emissions ratio and reduce a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the input signal. The UE may perform a second waveform shaping stage on the output of the first waveform shaping stage to reduce an adjacent channel leakage ratio of the output of the first waveform shaping stage. The UE may then transmit a signal over the wireless channel based on an output of the second waveform shaping stage.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some systems, a second network entity (e.g., a transmitting device) may transmit first signaling to a second network entity (e.g., a receiving device) to indicate one or more frequency domain residual sideband (FDRSB) parameters associated with the second network entity. The FDRSB parameters may be associated with an imbalance between an in-phase component and a quadrature phase component of the first signaling. The second network entity may generate and transmit second signaling that is configured to have the one or more FDRSB characteristics. The first network entity may determine whether the second network entity is a source of the second signaling based on the one or more FDRSB characteristics of the second signaling and the one or more FDRSB parameters indicated by the first signaling.

The first DPD circuit is generally configured to: obtain an input signal; apply a first DPD to the input signal to generate a first resulting signal; and output the first resulting signal to the second DPD circuit. The second DPD circuit is generally configured to: obtain the first resulting signal from the first DPD circuit; apply a second DPD to the first resulting signal to generate a second resulting signal; and output the second resulting signal to the PA. The PA is generally configured to amplify the second resulting signal to generate an amplified second resulting signal. The transmitter is generally configured to transmit the amplified second resulting signal to a second apparatus.

Aspects are provided for generation and transmission of MDMRS which allow matching of nonlinear model impact or properties between DMRS and data in DFT-s-OFDM waveforms as well as CP-OFDM waveforms. A UE transmits, to a network entity, an MDMRS generated from a DMRS. The MDMRS has a PAPR distribution matching a PAPR distribution of a signal including data in an uplink channel. A target PAPR of the MDMRS is based on a modulation scheme of the data. The UE also transmits the data in the uplink channel, where the uplink channel includes a PUCCH or a PUSCH. As a result of the ability of MDMRS to match the nonlinear impact of DMRS and PUSCH or PUCCH, the network entity may compensate for any EVM that may occur as a result of PAPR reduction by a nonlinear operator of the UE, and communication performance may thereby be improved.
