Abstract

The authors consider maximum-likelihood (ML) detection of convolutionally coded data over the AWGN channel with unknown carrier phase. A receiver is developed for simultaneous ML data decoding and suboptimal ML carrier-phase estimation. The receiver is readily implementable and, for a circular signal constellation, it is totally linear. Computer simulations using two different models of the time-varying carrier phase indicate that the receiver provides good bit error probability performance.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
