6DIGITAL MODULATION/DEMODULATION FOR MOBILE RADIO COMMUNICATION
Digital modulation has been used for a long time in analog FM mobile radio communication systems. The role of digital transmission in the analog FM mobile radio system is to send low-speed data signals to control the system, for example, paging a called mobile terminal and setting up and releasing of a dedicated channel. Spectrum efficiency of the digital modulation was not a key issue for such systems, since the data transmission rate is low: from several hundreds to thousands of bits per second.
The history of research and development of spectrum-efficient digital modulation techniques for mobile radio communication is not so long. It started in 1978 with the invention of spectrum-efficient digital FM by de Jager and Dekker. After their invention, many digital modulation methods were proposed in a very short period, described later in detail. The motivation for efficient digital modulation was digital voice communications.
This chapter describes some digital modulation methods in order of appearance: digital modulation for analog FM systems, spectrum-efficient digital FM, linear modulation, spread spectrum system, multicarrier transmission, and single-carrier frequency-division modulation. Research and development in digital modulation techniques for mobile radio communications are still in progress at the time of the writing of this book.
