Abstract: | The introduction of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute/Groupe Special Mobiles (ETSI/GSM) digital land mobile radio system has required the study and application of advanced transmission techniques, necessary to meet the quality objectives in very demanding environments. In particular, the authors consider the performance of the compact-spectrum constant-envelope modulation chosen by ETSI/GSM, together with concatenated block and convolutional coding, Viterbi adaptive equalization, and soft-decision Viterbi decoding to cope with the severe time- and frequency-selective distortions caused by propagation phenomena, properly modeled for computer simulation. Channel coding and adaptive equalization techniques, supported also by frequency hopping and diversity reception, are fundamental to operate the system with the required quality |
