One embodiment covers an apparatus for generating a transmission signal. The apparatus may include a signal generator that generates a first signal with a first frequency spectrum comprising a carrier frequency; a power control unit that provides a power information signal which represents a signal level of the transmission signal residing at the carrier frequency; a first signal shaper for noise-shaping the first signal based on the power information signal to form a second signal which has a noise component in at least one frequency range remote from the carrier frequency, the noise component of the second signal being from one or more signal components associated with the carrier frequency; and a signal output that provides the second signal in the form of a transmission signal.
