A Study on the Block Coded Phase/Frequency Modulation

Two cases of block coded phase/frequncy modulations are investigated. minimum Euclidean distances are calculated as the function of modulation index h and rotation angle \ulcorner in the cases of 2-FSK/4-PSK and 2-FSK/8-PSK. Method of signal set partitioning is described, especially for the case of 2-FSK/8-PSK. The results are compared with S.I. Sayegh's work and shown better performance. For example, with simple parity check and repetition codes, we can get coding gain of 3 dB in the case of 2-FSK/4-PSK with block length n=4. We get 5.33 dB in the case of 2-FSK/8-PSK with n=4. And it is believed that we can get higher coding gain with proper combinations of block code and n-FSK/m-PSK type channel signal constellations.
