The optimum convolutional error correction codes for recently standardized Feher-patented quadrature phase-shift keying (FQPSK-B) modulation are proposed. We utilize the continuous phase modulation characteristics of FQPSK-B signals for calculating the minimum Euclidean distance of convolutional coded FQPSK-B signal. It is shown that the Euclidean distance between two FQPSK-B signals is proportional to the Hamming distance between two binary data sequence. Utilizing this characteristic, we show that the convolutional codes with optimum free Hamming distance is the optimum convolutional codes for FQPSK-B signals.

It's a challenging task to design a high performance modulation for satellite and space communications due to the limited power and bandwidth resource. Constant envelope modulation is an attractive scheme to be used in such cases for their needlessness of input power back-off about 2~3 dB for avoidance of nonlinear distortion induced by high power amplifier. The envelope of Feher quadrature phase shift keying (FQPSK) has a least fluctuation of 0.18 dB (quasi constant envelope) and can be further improved. This paper improves FQPSK by defining a set of new waveform functions, which changes FQPSK to be a strictly constant envelope modulation. The performance of the FQPSK adopting new waveform is justified by analysis and simulation. The study results show that the novel FQPSK is immune to the impact of HPA and outperforms conventional FQPSK on bit error rate (BER) performance. The BER performance of this novel modulation is better than that of FQPSK by more than 0.5 dB at least and 2 dB at most.

본 논문에서는 높은 스펙트럼 효율 및 우수한 용량을 제공할 수 있는 다중안테나 기반의 Feher-patented quadrature phase shift keying(FQPSK) 시스템을 고려한다. 매 비트 구간마다 샘플링된 복소 기저 대역 신호가 여덟 개의 위상 값만을 가진다는 사실을 이용하여 maximum likelihood sequence estimation 기법을 이용하여 FQPSK 복조를 수행하고 이를 다중 안테나 시스템으로 확장한다. 다중 안테나 FQPSK 수신기의 성능을 모의실험을 통해 분석하고, zero-forcing 수신기 및 minimum-mean-square-error 수신기에 대한 union upper bound를 구하도록 한다.
