Examples of Continuous Phase Modulation Using Discriminator Detection

Continuous phase modulation (CPM) techniques for digital communication have been proposed to achieve narrow bandwidth and good bit error rate (BER) performance in coherent systems. These modulation schemes may also be used with noncoherent discriminator detection. However, in this case, the CPM schemes should be designed for noncoherent detection. Using a receiver proposed by Chung for GTFM and "modified GTFM" signals, we show that it is possible to slightly improve BER performance over that of previous GTFM noncoherent schemes. We also show that a form of GMSK can achieve discriminator detectability performance almost equal to that of classical binary FSK (modulation index = 0.7) but with a much narrower bandwidth.

All-digital reverse modulation architecture based carrier recoveryimplementation for GMSK and compatible FQPSK

A carrier recovery circuit implementation with an all-digital reverse modulation approach for coherent detection in the GSM/GMSK system as well as the GMSK compatible improved efficiency cross-correlated FQPSK system is presented. The proposed carrier recovery implementation utilizes all-digital reverse modulation circuit in a feedback loop to remove the modulated signal from the received intermediate frequency (IF) signal and to estimate the phase error of this carrier signal using a phase-locked loop (PLL). The digital reverse modulation approach avoids the multipliers required in an analog reverse modulation design, so that it can be implemented in a single chip FPGA. Hardware implementation of the coherent detection demonstrates that cross-correlated FQPSK is completely compatible with GMSK in the system performance and the receiver structure for GSM. Experimental performance evaluations show that the proposed carrier recovery circuit provides a Bit Error Rate (BER) performance within 0.3 dB in a non-linearly amplified channel corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise (AWCN) as compared with the simulated performance of the GSM/GMSK system     

Likelihood-Based Demodulation in Multi-User Chaos Shift Keying Communication

This paper deals with the theory of multi-user chaos shift keying communication systems in the coherent case and in particular with bit error performance under near optimal demodulation. The new approximated likelihood and near optimal demodulator is based on the statistical likelihood of the received signal and is a theoretical generalization of the conventional correlation demodulator involving autocorrelations of the spreading. Near optimal theoretical results beginning from an exact analysis are derived for the bit error rate of a typical user; there is emphasis on their structure in regard to separating the effects of channel noise and interference from other users, and in comparison with single-user results. The new demodulator is shown under particular assumptions to be a form of rake demodulator in the sense that it involves autocorrelation-like terms at various lags. The results are illustrated by theoretical calculations and numerical simulations which point out the enhanced performance of the near optimal demodulator relative to the correlation demodulator.     

Decision feedback postprocessor for zero-crossing digital FMdemodulator

A baseband digital narrow-band FM receiver, called zero-intermediate frequency zero-crossing demodulator (ZIFZCD), has been developed. This demodulator may offer low complexity and simple implementation. However, the bit error rate (BER) performance of the ZIFZCD is inferior to that of the limiter-discriminator-integrate-and-dump (LDI) demodulator. In this paper, a simple decision feedback postprocessor (DFP) is proposed to improve the performance of the ZIFZCD. Analysis and simulation BER results of the ZIFZCD with the DFP are presented for minimum-shift keying (MSK) and Gaussian MSK (GMSK) signals under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and mobile fading environments     

Pilot tone aided coherent GMSK systems for sound/data mobilebroadcasting

A Gaussian minimum-shift keying (GMSK) modem with built-in fade canceler is proposed narrowband mobile digital broadcasting systems. The proposed scheme combines DC suppressing line code and high-pass filters to create a spectral null at the carrier frequency of the transmit GMSK signal spectrum. This enables an unmodulated carrier pilot tone to be transmitted with the digital broadcast signal without mutual interference. In the receiver, the recovered pilot is used to coherently demodulate the received signal without phase ambiguity. The pilot can be also be used to track and cancel out the random phase noise induced by fast fading. The scheme is applied to a 16 kb/s BT=0.25 GMSK signal with B_v=800 Hz, and its performance over a fast Rayleigh fading channel is investigated using computer simulation. The results demonstrates that the proposed coherent modem is capable of significantly outperforming conventional differential detection in fast fading environments such as a broadcasting channel for mobile reception     

A fully digital noncoherent and coherent GMSK receiver architecturewith joint symbol timing error and frequency offset estimation

We propose a fully digital noncoherent and coherent Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) receiver architecture with joint frequency offset compensation and symbol timing recovery. Carrier phase offset can be estimated if the coherent demodulation mode is adopted. The converted base-band complex signal is first frequency discriminated and then passed through a digital filter which performs a fast Fourier transform (FFT). The frequency offset can be estimated from the DC component of the FFT, and the symbol timing error can be estimated from the phase angle of the FFT at a specified frequency which is equal to an integral multiple of half the bit rate. These two estimated parameters are then used for frequency offset compensation and symbol timing recovery during a preamble period. Coarse carrier phase can be estimated by averaging sampled in-phase and quadrature-phase signals and finding its phase angle within the preamble period after carrier frequency offset is estimated and compensated. The bit error rate (BER) performance of this GMSK receiver architecture is assessed for an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel by computer simulation     

Multiple-symbol differential detection of GMSK for mobilecommunications

A new multiple differential detection (MDD) sequence estimator is described which uses a decision feedback for the demodulation of a GMSK signal. This technique is based upon a maximum-likelihood sequence estimation of the transmitted phases rather than on a symbol-by-symbol detection. An upper and a lower bound on the bit error probability of the described detector in the case of an AWGN channel and a two-ray Rayleigh fading channel are derived. The performance of the detection algorithm in a mobile radio communication system is obtained through computer simulation. Comparisons with the coherent detection algorithm show that the proposed detection algorithm is quite attractive both in an AWGN and in a multipath channel     

Joint data detection and channel estimation for coded and uncoded continuous phase modulation signals

The performance of decision‐directed approach for joint data detection and channel estimation for continuous phase modulation (CPM) signal is limited because of an inevitable decision delay, which results in a trade‐off between data detection and channel estimation. In this paper, a novel hard output demodulation that solves the conflict requirement on the decision delay by predicting the channel coefficients over a given observation interval through a Kalman filter is proposed for uncoded CPM signal. The prediction guarantees high channel tracking capability and meanwhile maintains the accuracy of data detection. The proposed hard output demodulator is further extended to design a soft‐input soft‐output demodulator for serially concatenated CPM signal, which allows iterative processing. The convergence behavior of the proposed iterative receiver is presented. Simulation results show that the proposed demodulators provide improved performance in terms of bit error rate over some existing algorithms. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
