Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may generate an input signal including information for transmission over a wireless channel. The UE may perform a first waveform shaping stage on the input signal to increase an in-band emissions ratio and reduce a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the input signal. The UE may perform a second waveform shaping stage on the output of the first waveform shaping stage to reduce an adjacent channel leakage ratio of the output of the first waveform shaping stage. The UE may then transmit a signal over the wireless channel based on an output of the second waveform shaping stage.
