Gracias. Los tres tienen razón, pero prefiero "cresta" ya que así aparece en el Diccionario de las Ciencias Larousse, y en varios sitios especializados en Internet. Por lo visto hay varias maneras de decir exactamente lo mismo.

pico de potencia de la envolvente de modulación


Explanation:
Es decir, hablando de un transmisor de radio, se trataría de la potencia promedio suministrada a un transmisor aéreo por un trasmisor durante un ciclo de potencia dado a la cresta más alta de la envolvente de modulación (GDT).

Baso mi respuesta en el Diccionario Enciclopédico de Términos Técnicos (Javier L. Collazo. McGRAW-HILL)

Siendo la "envolvente" la curva de contorno suave que va tocando los picos de amplitud en la representación gráfica de una onda. (...lo cual me robo otra vez del gran Collazo).

Gratas horas,
