Abstract :
The bandwidth efficient modulation format OQPSK has previously been implemented only in mobile radio systems which do employ spread spectrum techniques, i.e. it has not been used in narrow band systems. This is due to the fact, that, in spite of its reduced performance degradation in non-linear channels in comparison to other linear modulation formats, for OQPSK no receivers have so far been derived, which satisfy the following requirements: fast tracking in time selective channels, short acquisition time in burst mode transmission, and resolution of intersymbol interference in frequency selective channels. In this paper a general approach for receiver implementations of differentially encoded OQPSK signals is given. Receiver structures for mobile radio applications are synthesised and investigated, which are all based on per-survivor processing (PSP)
