If the power spectrum of the FDM-FM signal is even unimodal, which decreases monotonically for f > 0 , the error bound is lower by a factor of 4/9, or as 12 becomes large, the improvement of bound goes to 1 /e. If the convolutional frequency range f m is large enough, one can apply the Chernov bound, which is tighter than the Chebyshev-Bienayme bounds [ I O ] . REFERENCES R. G. Medhurst, E. M. Hicks, and W.

KAZUHIRO MIYAUCHI, SEIZO SEKI, AND HIDEKI ISHIOAbstruct-A new modem circuit technique is proposed for multilevel signal transmission to utilize frequency bandwidth efficiently in high-speed digital carrier transmission systems With, this technique, a multilevel amplitude and phase-keying (APK) signal is generated as the sum of the outputs of two multiphase modulators and is detected by tandem phase demodulators.This "superposed modem" has a simple circuit configuration. It is constructed from phase-shift-keying (PSK) modems. It appears advantageous for realizing high-baud-rate multilevel transmission of severalhundred Megabauds (MBd).Experimental results show the feasibility of a 16-level modem with performance degradation of only about 1 dB from the theoretical predictions.
