Abstract
The minimum (frequency) shift keying (MSK) format is generalized to enable further improvements in the spectrum while retaining the well-known constant envelope property and the excellent communications efficiency of MSK. A specific alternative to MSK is presented, and the spectrum is compared with that of MSK. The theoretical limitations on possible further spectrum improvements are discussed.
