Abstract: This application provides a signal processing method and a communication apparatus. The method includes: if it is detected that at least one signal feature of each carrier signal in a first combined signal changes, determining, based on the signal feature of each carrier signal, a first clipping noise power corresponding to each carrier signal; and performing clipping on each carrier signal based on the first clipping noise power corresponding to each carrier signal. The signal feature includes one or more of a power, a bandwidth, a frequency, a power spectral density, or a modulation scheme.

The first clipping module performs first clipping processing on the to-be-clipped signal to obtain a first clipped signal. PAPR suppression is performed based on collaboration between the two clipping modules.
