            Abstract : 
In this letter, we propose three noncoherent block coded twisted amplitude and phase shift keying (NBC-TAPSK) schemes which are derived from noncoherent block-coded MPSK. We also propose a new noncoherent detector and a corresponding noncoherent distance for nonconstant-energy signals over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. At high data rates, NBC-8TAPSK has the best bit error performance among all noncoherent schemes.
