Abstract
An FQPSK-B receiver uses a simplified trellis system which uses combinations of FQPSK-B waveforms to correlate against an input signal. This enables reduction of the number of correlators that are used and the number of comparisons that are made by the correlators.
Claims20
A receiver, comprising:
- a plurality of averaged waveforms, each said averaged waveform comprising an average of a plurality of FQPSK-B waveforms;
- and
- a plurality of correlators, using a trellis code to correlate an input signal with each of said averaged waveforms of said plurality.
A method, comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of basic waveforms which represent trellis waveforms for FQPSK-B;
- averaging groups of said plurality of waveforms to form averaged waveforms, wherein a number of said averaged waveforms is less than a number of said plurality of waveforms;
- and
- correlating an FQPSK-B input signal against said averaged waveforms to demodulate said input signal.

A receiver, comprising:
- a filter element, receiving an input FQPSK-B signal and producing a filtered FQPSK-B signal;
- and
- a Viterbi Algorthm receiver, producing demodulated signals based on said FQPSK-B input signals.
A method of receiving an FQPSK-B signal, comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of basic FQPSK-B signals associated with modulation of an FQPSK-B signal;
- averaging said plurality of basic FQPSK-B signals to form a plurality of averaged signals;
- and
- comparing an input coded FQPSK-B signal with said plurality of averaged signals to carry out the modulation.
