TL;DR: A modified continuous phase modulation implementation that converts an arbitrary polyphase code into a nonlinear frequency-modulated waveform that is constant envelope and spectrally well contained is introduced.
Abstract: Polyphase radar codes promise enhanced performance and flexibility due to greater design freedom. While the search for better codes continues, the implementation issues of transmitter bandlimiting and nonlinear distortion have precluded their widespread use in high-power systems. This paper introduces a modified continuous phase modulation implementation that converts an arbitrary polyphase code into a nonlinear frequency-modulated waveform that is constant envelope and spectrally well contained. Experimental results assess the receive sampling and pulse compression effects.

TL;DR: This paper addresses the space-time code design for Rayleigh-fading channels using continuous phase modulation (CPM) and identifies several sufficient conditions for full rank.
Abstract: This paper addresses the space-time code design for Rayleigh-fading channels using continuous phase modulation (CPM). General code construction is desirable due to the nonlinearity and inherent memory in CPM signals which make hand design or computer search computationally impractical. Several sufficient conditions for full rank are identified for CPM signaling schemes and for linear representations of CPM. Simulation results verify the resulting performance.

TL;DR: A new digital signaling technique that is particularly suited for channels impaired by multipath fading is presented, which employs a continuous-wave (CW) tone to calibrate the mobile channel against the multipath-induced phase uncertainties.
Abstract: A new digital signaling technique that is particularly suited for channels impaired by multipath fading is presented. The proposed modulation scheme employs a continuous-wave (CW) tone to calibrate the mobile channel against the multipath-induced phase uncertainties. This technique is applicable to quaternary phase shift keying as well as to more complicated signal constellations such as M-ary phase shift keyed schemes. The advantages of tone calibration are: 1) robustness of the receiver and 2) elimination of the link dependent error floor. Furthermore, since the CW tone can also be used for coherent signal demodulation, carrier phase acquisition can be achieved within a bit time. This property is particularly attractive when a burst of data with a short burst length has to be detected. This radio technique is useful for both the terrestrial mobile and the newer satellite-aided mobile communication (SAMC) services.

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of bandwidth reduction techniques are used to develop a broad class of modulation types collectively called SSB-FM, which can be used to construct communication systems that provide bandwidth-normalized performance gains of 10 dB or more when compared to popular prior art modulation methods.
Abstract: A class of bandwidth reduction techniques are used develop a broad class of modulation types collectively called SSB-FM. These signals can be used to construct communication systems that provide bandwidth-normalized performance gains of 10 dB or more when compared to popular prior art modulation methods. An aspect of the invention involves mapping trellis paths in a complex signal space onto corresponding real-valued trellis signals with desirable spectral properties. The invention can be used map continuous phase modulated (CPM) signals onto simpler amplitude-modulated trellis signals having double the channel capacity of prior art CPM signals. Multi-amplitude signaling and frequency division multiplexing may also be incorporated to further accommodate more information per symbol.

TL;DR: This paper describes a general class of simple Viterbi detectors with reduced complexity compared to the optimum case, and finds the asymptotically optimum reduced-complexity receiver for a variety of transmitted schemes and various complexity reduction factors.
Abstract: Partial response continuous phase modulation (CPM) gives constant envelope digital modulation schemes with excellent power spectra. Both narrow main lobe and low spectral tails can be achieved. When these signals are detected in an optimum coherent maximum likelihood sequence detector (Viterbi detector), power efficient schemes can also be designed, sometimes at the expense of receiver complexity. This paper describes a general class of simple Viterbi detectors with reduced complexity compared to the optimum case. The key idea is that the approximate receiver is based on a less complex CPM scheme than the transmitted scheme. The asymptotically optimum reduced-complexity receiver is found for a variety of transmitted schemes and various complexity reduction factors, for a specific class of receivers and modulation indexes. A new distance measure is introduced for the performance analysis. Smooth schemes based on raised cosine pulses are analyzed and simulated for the case of simplified reception. A graceful performance degradation occurs with the reduction of complexity.
