In this paper, noncoherent sequence detection, proposed in a companion paper by Colavolpe and Raheli (see ibid. vol.47, no.9, p.1376-85, 1999), is extended to the case of continuous phase modulations (CPMs). The results in the companion paper on linear modulations with intersymbol interference (ISI) are used here because a CPM signal is mathematically equivalent to a sum of ISI-affected linearly modulated components, according to the Laurent decomposition. The proposed suboptimal detection schemes have a performance which approaches that of coherent detection with acceptable complexity, allow for time-varying phase models, and compare favorably with previously proposed solutions
