Abstract

The envelope of a non-constant envelope signal is limited to certain maximum and minimum values. An envelope value is calculated for each pair of I-Q samples of the non-constant envelope signal and then is compared to the maximum and minimum values. If the envelope value lies above or below the maximum and minimum values, the I and Q signals are scaled so that the envelope value lies between these values. In some embodiments, the threshold values are selected to ensure that the probability that the envelope value will exceed these values is less than a predetermined amount (e.g., between 0.01 and 0.001).
