A spectrally efficient constant envelope modulation technique forPCS and mobile communications

摘要

A newly developed constant envelope FQPSK modem/radio architecture, which employs a modified double-jump (DJ) filter in the cross-correlated FQPSK system, is proposed for personal communications systems (PCS) and mobile radio applications. Power efficiency, spectrum efficiency, BER, and system capacity of this system are investigated in a non-linear amplified (NLA) Rayleigh fading environment. We demonstrate that with the simplest threshold detectors (binary robust eye diagrams in I and Q channels), this system is 4-7 dB more power efficient than the US digital cellular and Japanese Handyphone standard π/4-QPSK, 50%-100% more spectrally efficient than the European standard GMSK, and it almost double the capacity of GMSK
