Abstract

Abstract : MSK-like data-formulation formats are those for which: (a) the instantaneous phase of the transmitted signal changes by exactly 90 deg in each bit interval; (b) the envelope of the transmitted signal is constant; and (c) the power spectrum of the transmitted signal rolls off asymptotically faster than the spectrum of ordinary (rectangular or unfiltered) QPSK. Well-known members of this family include MSK (minimum-shift keying), SFSK (sinusoidal frequency-shift keying), and DSFSK (doubly sinusiodal frequency-shift keying). These modulation types are w ell suited both to data communication and to radar pulse compression using binary code sequences. Unfortunately, most MSK-like formats have complex implementations. In this report, new modulation formats are described which come close to being in the MSK-like class, yet are inherently simple to implement using baseband pulse-shaping filters with low-order rational transfer functions. Keywords include: Minimum-shift keying, Digital communications, Pulse compression, and MSK modulation.
