Abstract

An efficient decision feedback technique (EDF) is proposed to improve the performance of premodulation Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) signals. Center sampling differential detector (CSDD) over restricted bandwidth (BW) fast Rayleigh channels is employed. The intersymbol interference (ISI) is partially eliminated by using the conventional decision feedback (CDF) technique. In the present modification ISI is drastically eliminated by using EDF technique resulting in the minimization of probability of error. The new receiver structure, is useful in mobile radio (MR) and mobile satellite communications where power efficiency, synchronization and implementation complexity are of primary concern. Numerical results show that the receiver structure under consideration yields a superior performance in narrowband channels where conventional differential detector (CDD) becomes unusable.
