Performance of Sequential Decoding with Biorthogonal Modulation and Q-Level Quantization

R
comp
versus
E_{b} / N_{0}
is calculated for a coherent white Gaussian noise channel and biorthogonal signal sets with quantized and continuous correlator outputs. The results are compared with list of
L
detection and it is observed that the quantized scheme is more efficient. Curves of
E_{b} / N_{0}
for code rate
R = R_{comp}
versus
1/R
are presented so that the efficiency of convolutional encoding and sequential decoding with various other modems can be compared for fixed rate codes.
