Bandwidth Efficient Quadrature Overlapped Modulation

This correspondence describes modified QORC (MQORC) modulation. The power spectral density of MQORC is shown to take on the form of the product of the QPSK and SFSK spectra, which attains good spectral characteristics. We show that the bandpass hard-limited staggered MQORC tends to keep its sidelobes suppressed, and therefore, its sidelobes drop off faster compared to staggered QORC.
