Abstract :
The BER performance of a spectrally efficient trellis coded modulation (TCM) scheme, which combines convolutional coding and GMSK, in frequency-selective fading channels, is presented. Computer simulated results show that a significant improvement in the BERs is achievable with the TCM scheme. The TCM scheme also shows less sensitivity to carrier phase errors than the uncoded scheme
