A signal processing circuit is configured to calculate a gain ratio to efficiently reduce a peak to average signal ratio for an input signal by identifying signal peaks and determining the signal peak magnitudes. A window function in combination with the gain ratio is applied to a portion of the input stream having a peak signal to create a cancellation pulse to be applied to that peak signal. The cancellation pulse phase is aligned with the signal phase, thereby causing minimal phase distortion in the resultant output signal and accurate peak cancellation. The cancellation pulse can also include a finite impulse response filter portion to efficiently handle wide bandwidth signals. The hardware may be configured to process multiple signal streams in parallel to reduce hardware requirements. An algorithm can determine the effect of multiple corrections to the input stream to avoid overcorrection in the signal processing process.
