Abstract

The paper evaluates the performance of a transmission system with OQPSK (offset quadrature phase shift keying) modulation and an adaptive decision feedback equalizer (DFE) in an indoor environment. A model of the slowly time-varying indoor radio channel is used to assess how much a DFE improves the bit error rate of coherently demodulated OQPSK. The author shows that the use of DFEs of relatively modest complexity enables the transmission of bit rates of 8 or 20 Mbps. Perfect decision feedback is initially assumed. The author then shows that the loss in performance due to the use of a decision directed equalizer is approximately 2 dB. the author finally evaluates the resistance of the transmission system to co-channel interference
