This paper compares three candidate detection techniques for shaped offset QPSK (SOQPSK-TG) and Feher's QPSK (FQPSK-JR), modulations which are embodied as fully interoperable modulations in the Interrange Instrumentation Group standard IRIG-106. The techniques are based on a common trellis-coded modulation representation and a common continuous phase modulation (CPM) representation for these two modulations. In addition the pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) decomposition of the common CPM representation is developed. All three techniques achieve near-optimal bit error rate performance. The PAM-based detector offers the best performance-complexity trade-off.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
