Conception of a generalized receiver in telecommunication systems

Abstract

The results of an investigation of the possibility of using non-harmonic signals in telecommunication systems are presented. On the basis of a notional "number of signal degrees of freedom," a structure of a generalized receiver is proposed. This receiver identifies alphabetical symbols independently of the carrier waveform. It is shown that for some auto-correlation function types, the generalized receiver provides a significant advantage in noise stability.
