Abstract

An improved narrowband continuous phase modulation system incorporates a filtering mechanism in the transmitter and receiver sites that enables the radiated spectrum characteristic to have a substantially reduced response at frequencies other than the channel of interest and thereby achieve a significant reduction in unwanted adjacent channel interference. Each of the transmitter and receiver sites contains a square root Nyquist filter upstream and downstream of the modulator and demodulator, respectively. The output of the Nyquist filter in the receiver is coupled to an accumulator which sums successive samples of the demodulated data signals (including noise). The noise is reduced as a consequence of its inherent negative correlation properties (utilized in the accumulation of successive samples of the recovered signal).
