A method for crest factor reduction (CFR). The method includes: generating a signal, xs(t); generating a vector, x(t), of size N×1 based on xs(t), wherein N>1; generating a clipping signal vector, z(t), based on x(t), wherein z(t) is a vector of size N×1; producing a transformed signal vector, y(t), based on z(t), wherein y(t) is a vector of size N×1; and generating an output signal vector, xp(t), based on y(t) and x(t), wherein generating xo(t) comprises subtracting y(t) from x(t) and xo(t) is a vector of size N×1.
