Detection of CPSK Signals in Nonlinear Receivers with Timing and Phase Jitter

This paper describes a technique for evaluating the performance of a PSK system when besides the effects of intersymbol interference and Gaussian noise we must consider a receiver including a nonlinear device and circuits for the recovery of sampling instant and carrier phase. This method allows one to compute the error rate in this most general situation when the combined effects of Gaussian noise. intersymbol interference and jitter in the carrier phase and timing recovery are taken into account.
