Abstract

An analysis of adjacent and nonadjacent double differential M -ary PSK (M-ary D²PSK) on the Rician channel is presented. The probability density function of the first-order phase error (FOPE) and the probability density functions of the second-order phase error (SOPE) for both adjacent and nonadjacent D²PSK on a fading channel have been derived. Asymptotic approximations for these PDFs are proposed in the case of channels with weak fading (including the AWGN channel) and high signal-to-noise ratio. For nonadjacent D²PSK with independent FOPEs a simplified PDF of SOPE has been obtained. The derived PDFs allow one to calculate the error performance of D²PSK, as well as DPSK, on the Rician channel, including the AWGN channel and the Rayleigh channel, and to verify some results obtained in earlier publications for D²PSK on the AWGN channel
