Abstract

This paper is concerned with digital modulation for future mobile radio telephone services. First, the specific requirements on the digital modulation for mobile radio use are described. Then, premodulation Gaussian filtered minimum shift keying (GMSK) with coherent detection is proposed as an effective digital modulation for the present purpose, and its fundamental properties are clarified with the aid of machine computation. The constitution of modulator and demodulator is then discussed from the viewpoints of mobile radio applications. The superiority of this modulation is supported by some experimental test results.
