Abstract

Analogous to multiple-symbol differential detection of quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), a multiple-bit differential detection scheme is described for offset QPSK that also exhibits continuous improvement in performance with increasing observation interval. Being derived from maximum-likelihood considerations together with the representation of differentially encoded offset QPSK as a continuous phase modulation, the proposed scheme is purported to be the most power-efficient scheme for such a modulation and detection method.
