A method for reducing peak to average power ratio in a radio frequency signal. The method comprises the steps of modulating a plurality of subcarriers with a plurality of data symbol vectors to produce a first modulated signal; limiting the magnitude of the first modulated signal to produce a first limited modulated signal; demodulating the first limited modulated signal to recover the constellation points; predistorting the data symbol vectors to provide a minimum magnitude for in-phase and quadrature components thereof to produce predistorted data symbol vectors; modulating the plurality of carriers with the predistorted data symbol vectors to produce a second modulated signal; limiting the magnitude the second modulated signal.
