Abstract

We propose a new variant of a block transmission based on 4-Weighted Fractional Fourier Transform (4-WFRFT), which contains a compatible process of single-carrier (SC) and multi-carrier (MC) modulation. The 4-WFRFT system has an even and symmetrical bit energy distribution on the time-frequency plane that it could achieve a better performance than or equal to those of SC and MC systems in selective fading channels. The approach of 4-WFRFT may facilitate unification of the two competitive carrier schemes, and improve the distortion resistance capability of communication system.
