Implementation of a GMSK communication system on FPGA

This paper presents the design and implementation of a complete communication system using the GMSK modulation scheme. The hardware is described in VHDL and implemented on Altera FPGA. Additionally, each block used to perform the implementation is completely described accomplishing all the requirements of this kind of modulation. Mueller & Müller algorithm is also performed to ensure timing synchronization between transmitter and receiver. This communication system was developed with educational purposes.
