Examples
This table provides values for some normalized waveforms:
| Wave type | Waveform | Peak magnitude (normalized) | RMS value | Crest factor | PAPR (dB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DC | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0.0 dB | |
| Sine wave | 1 | 3.01 dB | |||
| Full-wave rectified sine | 1 | 3.01 dB | |||
| Half-wave rectified sine | 1 | 6.02 dB | |||
| Triangle wave | 1 | 4.77 dB | |||
| Square wave | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 dB | |
| PWM-Signal V(t) 0.0V |

| QPSK | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 dB | |
| 8VSB | 6.5–8.1 dB | ||||
| 64QAM | 1 | 3.7 dB | |||
| -QAM | 1 | 4.8 dB | |||
| WCDMA downlink carrier | 10.6 dB | ||||
| OFDM | ~12 dB | ||||
| GMSK | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 dB |
Notes: 1. crest factors specified for QPSK, QAM, WCDMA are typical factors needed for reliable communication, not the theoretical crest factors which can be larger.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
