Probability of error analysis of digital partial response continuous phase modulation with two bit differential detection and offset receiver diversity in fast Rayleigh fading

Abstract

The performance of constant envelope digital partial response continuous phase modulation (PRCPM) with two-bit differential detection and offset receiver diversity is theoretically analyzed in fast Rayleigh fading AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) channels. A simple closed-form expression for the probability of error is derived and evaluated for cases of practical interest to researchers and designers of land mobile radio systems. It is shown that the dynamic BER performance is considerably improved using the offset diversity scheme. Thus, many new PRCPM signals having compact power spectra can be used in future mobile radio systems.<>
