  • Publication number: 20220200646
    Abstract: Using information contained in clipped samples from aualog-to-digital (ADC) conversion to improve receiver performance, by, for example, reducing the clipping distortion caused by ADCs due to its data resolution constraints. This provides an advantage over existing solutions, which perform suboptimally because the existing solution discard information in tire clipped samples.
