Abstract :
With the evolution of cellular wireless systems and services, the on-air signals themselves are also undergoing very significant transformations. This paper provides a survey of the active and coming-soon signal types adopted for cellular wireless systems around the world. Focus is on modulation schemes, along with various measures used to characterize the signals before and after power amplification. Cost-benefit tradeoff information is introduced to provide perspective on this signal evolution.
