Mean-square crosstalk approach to CPM

The maximum-likelihood sequence estimator (MLSE) for continuous phase modulation (CPM) signals in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel is a very efficient method of detection. This paper describes an extension of a relatively simple crosstalk approach for the performance analysis of linear quadrature receivers with cochannel interference (CCI) and adjacent channel interference (ACI) present to the MLSE receiver. Many CPM signals are analyzed, including those using new baseband modulating pulses. One of the new schemes allows an ACI signal to be 62 dB greater than the desired user signal at a frequency separation of one-and-a-half times the bit rate, with just a 2-dB degradation in required E/sub b//N/sub 0/.
