With a precoding rate not larger than 1-2I/N, a general precoder form is first developed for the transmitted N-subcarrier OFDM signal to provide extremely small baseband power spectral sidelobes decaying asymptotically as f^{-2I-2} or faster, with f being the frequency, and thus achieve high spectrum compactness while yielding reduced PAPR. Incorporating the channel response, a particular spectral precoder following the general form is then designed to maximize the ADR under a fixed transmitted power. When a small out-of-band power proportion is required to guarantee spectrum compactness, the proposed pre-equalized and spectrally-precoded OFDM system can provide much higher ADR per unit bandwidth than pre-equalized OFDM, spectrally-precoded OFDM, and nonprecoded OFDM. When the low-complexity receiver is mandatory, a systematically pre-equalized and spectrally precoded OFDM system is also developed to achieve enhanced ADR, extremely high spectrum compactness, and low-complexity receiver operation by trading transmission power on cancellation subcarriers.
