Abstract
A novel type of pi /4-shifted QPSK (quadrature phase-shift keying) demodulation LSI employing adaptive carrier tracking (ACT) for digital TDMA (time-division multiple-access) mobile communication systems has been successfully developed. ACT provides fast carrier tracking and thus yields good bit-error-rate performance under a fast Rayleigh fading environment. This ACT demodulation (ACT-Demod) LSI, which is implemented entirely by digital circuits, includes two branch QPSK detectors for postdetection selection diversity, a bit timing recovery circuit, and an AFC (automatic frequency control) circuit. ACT-Demod LSI achieves a transmission performance better than that of conventional noncoherent differential detection while consuming less than 9 mW of power.<>
