Abstract
A communication system comprising signal processing circuitry and up-conversion circuitry. The signal processing circuitry is configured to: i) generate a first signal of a first modulation type and a second signal of a second modulation type; ii) combine the first and second signals to form a combined input signal; iii) generate peak reduction distortion based on the combined input signal; iv) select a portion of the peak reduction distortion that corresponds to a first frequency band; and v) apply the selected portion of the peak reduction distortion in the first frequency band of the combined input signal to provide a combined output signal. The up-conversion circuitry up-converts the combined output signal to an RF signal for transmission.
