CREST FACTOR REDUCTION (CFR)
The ADRV9029 variant provides crest factor reduction to assist in keeping power amplifiers linear. This functionality is only
available in the ADRV9029 variant. A typical communications RF sub-system consists of an antenna, Power Amplifier (PA), and
RF transceiver that translates digital baseband signals to RF, as shown in Figure 50.

. Typical RF Sub-system
It is highly desirable to drive the PA at the highest input power possible without having the PA saturate. Most modern
communications protocols such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) are Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based in
which the final waveform is an orthogonal summation of subcarriers that carry information, and where each subcarrier has its
own center frequency and modulation scheme. In the time domain, sometimes the peaks of these subcarriers can align to
produce an aggregate large OFDM waveform peak (shown in
Figure 51. Example illustration of Orthogonal Summation of Subcarriers Causing Large Peaks in an OFDM Waveform
