Comparison between GMSK and PSK modulation systems in the wireless propagation channels emulated in a Reverberating Chamber

In this paper a new employment of the Reverberating Chamber (RC) as test facility for comparing modulation schemes used in modern wireless applications, is proposed. The robustness of GMSK and PSK signals to very-noisy environments emulated in RC is evaluated in terms of constellation and Bit Error Rate (BER) of the received signals. Experiments accomplished at Università di Napoli Parthenope (formerly Istituto Universitario navale, IUN) show the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
