In this paper, we present a novel Zadoff-Chu Matrix Transform (ZCMT) precoding based Interleaved-OFDMA uplink system with improved PAPR for the upcoming 4G cellular systems. The proposed system is based on the precoding of constellation symbols with ZCMT precoder in such a way that the system becomes Constant Envelope OFDMA (CE-OFDMA). The CE-OFDMA signal allows the Radio-Frequency (RF) high power amplifier to operate near its saturation levels, thus maximize the power efficiency. However, even 0 db PAPR or CE-OFDMA systems must contend with pulse shaping to keep out of band radiation low and to meet the transmission spectrum mask requirement. Hence, the PAPR is analyzed with Root Raised Cosine pulse shaping. Simulation results show that proposed system has better PAPR gain than the walsh-hadamard transform (WHT) precoded Interleaved-OFDMA uplink systems and the conventional Interleaved-OFDMA uplink systems.
