Description
Summary:International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada === This paper describes the implementation of a Feher-Patented Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (FQPSK) waveform variant that reduces overall design complexity, which in turn results in a telemetry transmitter that provides all the benefits of the existing FQPSK-B waveform, in a 3.0 x 2.0 x 1.0 volume. This variant is referred to the as the FQPSK-JR version. This waveform differs from the “near constant” envelop response of the qualified Herley airborne FQPSK-B telemetry transmitter in terms of the time domain wavelet transition functions and the amplitude scaling term associated with those functions. The end result is a “constant envelop” design, which employs simplified antialias filtering and more efficient digital design techniques.
