Spectrally efficient modulation
Abstract
Spectrally efficient modulation, involving the maximization of the transmitted data rate through a specified bandwidth, may aid in alleviating the problem of spectral congestion in the electromagnetic spectrum. Attention is given to pulse-shaping and nonbinary modulation, and particularly to combined amplitude- and phase-modulation. Theoretical performance limits, such as Shannon's bound, are used to assess the effectiveness of the systems described. Consideration is also allotted to spectrally efficient modulation for terrestrial microwave systems, required to provide 1000 voice channels in the 4- and 6-GHz band.
