New Receivers in Digital Communications, Performance Evaluation and Comparisons

Recently developed STTS-MF receiver by the authors in (referred as TTS-MF receiver in) performs better than the traditional Matched Filter based receiver (referred as STS-MF receiver in), but only when the SNR (expressed in dB) is positive. In this paper, we introduce a new receiver, the CTTS-MF receiver, and demonstrate that it performs better than both STTS-MF and STS-MF receivers, for both positive and negative SNR (expressed in dB) values, for the correlated digital signals known as, the p-q signals. Comparisons and relative advantages of the CTTS-MF and the STTS-MF receivers are illustrated by extensive simulation study with baseband communications as example domain.
