Demodulation and carrier synchronization of multi-h phase codes
Abstract
Multi-h phase coding is a bandwidth-efficient modulation which offers substantial performance improvement over conventional digital modulations with little or no bandwidth expansion. This paper examines the demodulation of the multi-h signals, and in particular examines the behavior of a decision-directed carrier loop which utilizes the Viterbi algorithm decoder in the calculation of the loop error signal. Both analytic and simulation results are presented and the agreement between the two is shown to be very close.
