Definitions
- the invention belongs to the technical field of communication and navigation signal design, and in particular relates to a code-shift keying modulation method and a demodulation method for repeated phase shifts.
- the code-shift keying modulation method (referred to as CSK modulation method) can transmit more information bits while maintaining the relevant characteristics of the spread-spectrum pseudo-random sequence, which is widely used in spread-spectrum communication.
- the symbol time length T S of the modulation message is generally equal to the cycle time T C of the spread-spectrum pseudo-random sequence.
- a method for improving the information transmission rate of the CSK modulation method is to increase the number of transmission information bits K in one symbol, increase the time length of the modulation message symbol, increase the energy of the signal symbol received by the receiving end, and improve the error rate of the information transmission.
- this method also simultaneously increases the cycle time T C and chip length L of the spread-spectrum pseudo-random sequence, which results in an increase in the amount of CSK modulation and demodulation signal processing, which greatly increases the software and hardware costs of the demodulation CSK message at the receiving end. And power consumption.
- Another method to increase the information transmission rate of the CSK modulation method is to increase the number of transmitted information bits K in one symbol, increase the length of the modulation message symbol, reduce the chip rate of the spreading pseudo-random sequence, and increase the spreading frequency in synchronization. While the pseudo-random sequence period T C is maintained, the chip length L of the spread-spectrum pseudo-random sequence is kept constant, thereby avoiding an increase in the amount of CSK modulation and demodulation signal processing, and maintaining the software and hardware costs and power of demodulating CSK messages at the receiving end.
