Abstract
The most interesting and important results on the performance of communication systems have been obtained when a peak power constraint has been imposed on the transmitted signals. While such a constraint afforded analytical tractability, in many cases, real-life systems are naturally limited in their peak excursion. This talk is devoted to the influence of a peak power limitation on the information rates of various models of practical communication systems.
