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:
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“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.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
