Challenges in Mobile Communication • Channel • fading • Energy • Bandwidth
Digital Modulation • Digital signal is converted into analog bit stream
Classification Linear modulation Non linear (constant envelope) modulation Amplitude of the transmitted signal does not vary with the amplitude of the message signal Power efficient class C amplifiers can be used Low out of band radiation Limiter-discriminator can be used for demodulation FSK,MSK, GMSK • Amplitude of the transmitted signal varies linearly with message signal • Bandwidth efficient • QPSK, OQPSK
BPSK BPSK is equivalent to a DSB/SC
Minimum Shift Keying (MSK) • Phase information is used to improve the noise performance of the receiver • CPFSK signal (0≤t ≤Tb) • Eb – transmitted signal energy • Tb – Bit duration • Θ(0) – value of the phase at t=0, sums up the past history of the modulation process upto t=0.

PSD of MSK • MSK has lower sidelobes than QPSK and OQPSK • Faster roll off • Less spectrally efficient • Main lobe of MSK is wider • Bandlimiting is easier • Continuous phase • Amplified using non linear amplifiers • Constant phase • Simple modulation and demodulation
GMSK output NRZ data Gaussian LPF FM Transmitter GMSK modulation • Sidelobe levels of the spectrum are further reduced • Pulse shaping filter requirements • Narrow bandwidth • Sharp cutoff frequencies • Low overshoot • Carrier phase must be ±π/2 at odd multiples and two values 0 and π at even multiples
Impulse response • Transfer function • parameter related to B, the 3dB baseband bandwidth by • GMSK filter may be completely specified by B and the basedand symbol duration T
PSD of a GMSK signal • When BT = ∞, GMSK is equivalent to MSK • When BT decreases, sidelobe levels falls off rapidly • At BT = 0.5, peak of the sidelobe level is 30 db and 20 db below the main lobe for GMSK and MSK • Reducing BT increases the error rate produced by the LPF due to ISI
