On the performance of a hybrid frequency and phase shift keying modulation technique

The performance of a hybrid modulation technique derived from binary frequency shift keying is presented. In the hybrid scheme, each frequency is allowed to be phase modulated with any of p discrete, equally spaced phase shifts. The spectral separation between frequencies is chosen to make the carriers orthogonal, thus generating a multidimensional modulation scheme. The performance of complete and expurgated phase codes is examined for the Gaussian and Rayleigh fading channels, and their spectral characteristics are determined.<
