Bandwidth-Efficient Digital Modulation with Application to Deep-Space Communications

Аннотация

This book focuses on the most recent advances in spectrum-efficient modulation techniques considered for government and commercial applications. Starting with basic, well-known digital modulations, the discussion will evolve to more sophisticated techniques that take on the form of constant envelope modulations, quasi-constant envelope modulations, nonconstant envelope modulations, and finally Nyquist-rate modulations. Included in the discussion will be a unified treatment based on recently developed cross-correlated trellis-coded quadrature modulation (XTCQM), which captures a number of state-of-the-art spectrally efficient modulation schemes. Performance analysis, computer simulation results, and their hardware implications will be addressed. Comparisons of
