Abstract

The detection of π/4-shifted-DQPSK modulation using a tangent-type differential detector with an integrated symbol timing and carrier frequency offset correction algorithm is discussed. π/4-shifted-DQPSK modulation has been proposed for use in a high-capacity, TDMA-based digital cellular system being developed in the US; differential detection could potentially allow the production of low-complexity mobile units. Results obtained using the proposed IS-54 TDMA frame structure for base to mobile transmissions are presented. Theoretical and simulation bit-error-rate (BER) results are presented for static and Rayleigh fading channels. BER results are provided as a function of E_b/N₀and C/I, where the interferer is a second π/4-shifted-DQPSK signal. Additional results are provided which show the BER sensitivity to Doppler frequency shifts, time delay spread, and carrier frequency offsets
