Abstract
A brief review of the principles and properties of F-QPSK (quadrature phase shift keying) modulation is given. Its spectral efficiency is compared with that of Gaussian minimum-shift keying (GMSK) using adjacent channel interference (ACI) as a parameter. It is established that in a noncellular environment, hardlimited F-QPSK has a spectral efficiency of 1.42 b/s/Hz, which is up to 51% more spectrally efficient than GMSK BT=0.5 for ACI=20 dB. F-QPSK's BER performance in AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels is shown to be superior to that of GMSK. The spectral efficiency of the modulations in cellular/microcellular environments where frequency is reused in geographically separate cells to achieve higher capacity is compared. It is shown that the application of F-QPSK in such environment would leads to a 95% increase of system capacity compared to GMSK. It is concluded that the power and spectrally efficient F-QPSK make it an excellent candidate for future high-capacity personal communication system (PCS) networks. >
