| In this thesis, the concept of iterative decoding is applied to demodulating and decoding coded continuous phase modulation (CPM). The background theory of iterative decoding and CPM is reviewed. Various types of concatenation are studied and simulation results show the performance of different systems in Gaussian and Rayleigh fading channels. It is found that coded CPM system with iterative decoding has a good bit error rate performance; however, the choice of constituent encoders is an important parameter in determining the overall performance. |
