| Abstract: | A better switching technique for combating spectral pollution i.e. spectral spreading of burst time-division multiple access (TDMA) digital FM and π/4-QPSK (quadrature phase-shift keying) systems, is proposed. The effects of rectangular, linear, and raised cosine ramp on/off switching are examined for two prototypes using both hardware experimental methods and computer simulation for different gating rates, duty cycles, roll-off factors of transmitter filter and ramp on/off times. The measures results agree with the computer simulation results and indicate that the adjacent channel interference (ACI) caused by the burst operating in TDMA π/4-QPSK is significantly reduced by raised cosine switching in comparison with other types of switching |
