Abstract

A communications device includes communications data and a training sequence corresponding to a preamble. A modulation and mapping circuit modulates the communications data and training sequence into a plurality of multiple subcarriers that are orthogonal to each other to form an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communications signal having modulated subcarriers carrying the communications data forming a data payload and modulated subcarriers forming the preamble. The modulation and mapping circuit applies a quadratic modulation to the subcarriers carrying the training sequences to produce a low peak-to-average power (PAPR) preamble of approximately 2.6 decibels (dB) independent of the number of subcarriers.
