Novel techniques in high speed modem implementation using programmable DSPs

Abstract

We present the design and performance of a high speed MSK modem that incorporates digital heterodyne processing. A novel table look-up procedure for direct IF/RF modulation, based on a suitable maximal-length shift register sequence, is described. High performance, linear phase, low-complexity mixing and filtering in the receiver is achieved using multirate IFIR filters, where the shaping filter may possibly beM-th-band. The configuration of the IFIR filters is chosen based on the carrier frequency and the filtering requirements.
