Abstract

This paper presents a class of circular M-ary amplitude-phase shift keying (APK) signaling techniques with high bandwidth efficiency and low peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) suitable for systems using nonlinear power amplifiers to achieve high power efficiency. Based on bandlimited two-dimensional M-ary signals using circular constellations, we develop a search algorithm for optimum schemes for nonlinear amplification in terms of minimum PAR and maximum DPR. Optimum circular constellations for 16-, 64- and 128-APK signalling schemes are proposed. The effects of bandlimiting filter sharpness on the PAR are examined and considered in the development. The analytical and simulation results show that this class of circular M-ary APK signals outperforms the square and cross M-ary QAM schemes.
