Abstract

To obtain a duo-binary FSK modulation, the modulating binary signal train has a three state partial response and is fed through a precoding, a transition-type coding, a simplified MSK modulation at the carrier frequency, a frequency division by two, and a multiplication by the same signal delayed by one binary element period. In order to obtain a "tamed FSK" modulation, the modulating binary signal train has a five state partial response and is fed through precoding, a transition-type coding, a simplified MSK modulation at the carrier frequency, a frequency division by two, a multiplication by the same signal delayed, for one part, by one binary element period and, for the other part, by two binary element periods. A TFM modulation is obtained by using the FSK duo-binary generating process, but a wave shaping filter is connected between the division by two circuit and the multiplication circuit. In a TFM modulator, the train of binary signals is applied to a partial response precoding circuit, the output of which is connected to a transition-type coding circuit, the output of which is connected to the input of a simplified MSK modulator, the output of which is connected to the inpu…
