Abstract

The structure of combinations of (l,k) binary trellis encoders and fast frequency-shift keying (FFSK) modulation is studied. A novel method for the optimization of these combinations is proposed. It is concluded that, regardless of the particular realization, the best combinations can always be obtained by using a so-called matched convolutional code. Optimum FFSK codes of rates 1/2 and 2/3 for up to 64 and 32 states, respectively, are reported. It is shown that the best matched encoders for FFSK modulation are also matched and best for any FFSK-type scheme, where the pulse shape is required to satisfy Nyquist´s third criterion
