Performance Comparison of Soqpsk Detectors: Coherent vs. Noncoherent
نویسنده
چکیده
Shaped Offset Quadrature Shift Keying (SOQPSK) is a spectrally efficient modulation that has been promoted in the airborne telemetry community as a more spectrally efficient alternative for legacy PCM/FM. First generation demodulators for SOQPSK use coherent detectors which achieve good bit error rates at the expense of long synchronization times. This paper examines the performance of a noncoherent SOQPSK detector which significantly improves the signal acquisition times without impacting BER performance in the AWGN environment. The two detection methods are also compared in their ability to combat other channel impairments, such as adjacent and on-channel interference.

On the Performance of Coherent and Noncoherent Multiuser Detectors for Mobile Radio CDMA Channels
We investigate the performance of several suboptimal multiuser detectors for rapidly time varying mobile radio channels. A modified Jakes model is used to simulate a realistic mobile fading channel. The use of the Kalman filter for this channel model is examined. We also analyze the performance of several noncoherent multiuser detectors. Analysis and simulation results indicate that the decorre...
متن کاملComparison between Coherent and Noncoherent Receivers for UWB Communications
Wepresent a comparison between coherent and noncoherent UWB receivers, under a realistic propagation environment, that takes into account also the effect of path-dependent pulse distortion. As far as coherent receivers are concerned, both maximal ratio combining (MRC) and equal gain combining (EGC) techniques are analyzed, considering a limited number of estimated paths. Furthermore, two classi...
متن کاملA differentially coherent PN code acquisition receiver for CDMA systems
New differentially coherent detectors for acquisition of direct sequence spread-spectrum signals are introduced. These detectors are alternatives to the noncoherent detectors that have been considered almost exclusively in the past. The proposed detectors are suitable for commercial code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems which operate with a relatively large noise floor and provide a surp...
متن کاملSIMPLIFIED 2-state Detectors for SOQPSK-TG and SOQPSK-MIL
We study simple trellis-based detectors for SOQPSK that have a minimal level of complexity. In particular, we show that the state complexity can be cut in half relative to previous approaches—from 4 states down to 2—with asymptotically optimum performance. We give two possible means of achieving this: the pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) technique and the pulse truncation (PT) technique; both o...
متن کاملApplications of the PAM Representation of CPM
In this thesis, we are trying to optimize the tradeoff between the receiver complexity and its performance for two modulations currently used in aeronautical telemetry. A reduced complexity detector is of interest because it reduces the implementation cost. The Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) representation of Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM) signals typically results in reducedcomplexity det...
