Abstract:

Continuous phase modulation (CPM) technology has important applications in aerospace fields such as satellite communications, deep space exploration, remote sensing and telemetry, the performance of CPM signal often depends on its baseband frequency modulation pulse signal. The zero order prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) signal is a time-frequency high-energy aggregation signal, and its time bandwidth product can be flexibly controlled. Combined with the principle of CPM, the zero order PSWF signal is applied to CPM, and the performance is compared with existing main CPM signals. The results show that, compared with the existing CPM minimum shift keying (MSK) signal and sinusoidal frequency shift keying (SFSK) signal based on rectangular pulses and raised cosine pulses, the power spectrum attenuation and high frequency roll-off of the modulation signal obtained by this method can be more fast, with 99.9% signal power bandwidth, the system bandwidth efficiency can be improved by 13% and 16%, respectively. And under the condition of full response, the system has better bit error rate (BER) performance.

Key words: zero order prolate spheroidal wave function (PSWF) signal, continuous phase modulation(CPM), bandwidth efficiency
