Abstract:

Considering resource-limited wireless communications such as satellite communications, the relevant problems of modulation and demodulation of multi-h continuous phase modulation (multi-h CPM) signals are studied. A new way of decomposition is first designed to simplify the modulation process of the multi-h CPM signals, followed by a periodic state trellis. Then, a pilot-aided quasi-coherent demodulation algorithm is proposed to detect the multi-h CPM signals according to the designed decomposition. Moreover, the multi-h CPM signals and the single-h CPM signals are evaluated and compared from the two aspects of power spectrum and bit error performance. Simulation results show that, no matter what frequency pulse is used, the multi-h CPM signals have smoother power spectrum curves than the single-h CPM signals; only with the assistance of two pilot symbols, the performance gain of the uncoded multi-h CPM system is nearly 2 dB compared with that of the uncoded single-h CPM system, and the coded multi-h CPM system can achieve performance gain of 0.1 dB to 0.25 dB more than the coded single-h CPM system at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).
