Method and system for reduction of peak-to-average power ratio of transmission signals comprising overlapping waveforms

A transmitter, comprising:

• a transponder device;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and the transponder device, the processor for:
• calculating a first peak to average power ratio value of a signal comprising a combination of:
• each of a plurality of vectors associated with a signal being multiplied by a corresponding phase factor assigned to each of the plurality of vectors, wherein the phase factor comprises a binary value;
• and
• assigning a final phase factor to each of the plurality of vectors, wherein the final phase factor is assigned on a basis that the first peak to average power ratio value of the signal is to be minimized.
