Peak-to-average power ratio of OFDM systems
Why do OFDM systems show a high peak-to-average power ratio? How does the PAPR depend on the number of subcarriers? Has the underlying M-QAM constellation size any impact?

Fast Fourier transform (FFT) - power invariant
The power of the FFT output signal differs from the input signal power due to an asymmetry in the FFT / IFFT definitions. This FFT variant keeps input and output signal powers equal.

Inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) - power invariant
The power of the IFFT output signal differs from the input signal power due to an asymmetry in the FFT / IFFT definitions. This IFFT variant keeps input and output signal powers equal.
