Abstract
Quadrature-quadrature phase-shift keying (Q/sup 2/PSK) is a spectrally efficient modulation scheme which utilizes available signal space dimensions in a more efficient way than two-dimensional schemes such as QPSK and MSK (minimum-shift keying). It uses two date shaping pulses and two carriers, which are pairwise quadrature in phase, to create a four-dimensional signal space and increases the transmission rate by a factor of two over QPSK and MSK. However, the bit error rate performance depends on the choice of pulse pair. With simple sinusoidal and cosinusoidal data pulses, the E/sub b//N/sub 0/ requirement for P/sub b/(E)=10/sup -5/ is approximately 1.6 dB higher than that of MSK. Without additional constraints, Q/sup 2/PSK does not maintain a constant envelope, however, a simple block coding can provide a constant envelope. This coded signal substantially outperforms MSK and TFM (time-frequency multiplexing) in bandwidth efficiency. Like MSK, Q/sup 2/PSK also has self-clocking and self-synchronizing ability. An optimum class of pulse shapes for use in Q/sup 2/PSK format is presented. One suboptimum realization achieves the Nyquist rate of 2 b/s/Hz using binary detection.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
