Walsh Hadamard Transform Based Transceiver Design for SC-FDMA with Discrete Wavelet Transform

This article proposes a new transceiver design for Single carrier frequency division multiple access （SCFDMA） system based on discrete wavelet transform （DWT）. SCFDMA offers almost same structure as Orthogonal frequency division multiple access （OFDMA） with extra advantage of low Peak to Average Power Ratio （PAPR）. Moreover, this article also suggests the application of Walsh Hadamard transform （WHT） for linear precoding （LP） to improve the PAPR performance of the system. Supremacy of the proposed transceiver over conventional Fast Fourier transform （FFT） based SCFDMA is shown through simulated results in terms of PAPR, spectral efficiency （SE） and bit error rate （BER）.
