Differential Detection via the Viterbi Algorithm
for Offset Modulation and MSK-Type Signals
Ghassan Kawas Kaleh, Member, IEEE
Abstracf- The paper deals with the differentially coherent binary PSK (BPSK). The reason for this is not only the
reception of two families of constant-envelope signals: the linear extreme simplicity of the receiver, but also its satisfactory
offset quaternary phase shift keying and the binary partial performance.
