Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying

GMSK
Software Defined Radio
EE 194SDR
Spring 2006
Brad Gaynor
GMSK
• Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying
• Modulation scheme used in GSM
• Bandwidth-time product
– Describes the amount the symbols overlap
– BT = 0.3 for GSM networks
– Good spectral efficiency
– At the expense of some inter-symbol interference (ISI)
• Data rate: 270.8 kbps
MSK
• GMSK is based on MSK
• Minimum Shift Keying
– Linear phase changes
– Spectrally efficient
• At baseband, bit transitions are represented by
½ cycle sinusoid
Generating a GMSK Waveform

• The figures in the following slides are from the University of Hull:
– http://www.emc.york.ac.uk/reports/linkpcp/appD.pdf
• GMSK as implemented by quadrature signal processing at
baseband followed by a quadrature modulator
Pulse Shaping

• Input: Binary pulse train (+1/-1)


• Each binary pulse goes through a LPF with a Gaussian impulse
response
– The filter smoothes the binary pulses
– The filter output is truncated and scaled
• This process results in a train of Gaussian shaped pulses
Summing and Integration

• The pulses are summed together (left)


• The signal is integrated over time to obtain a continuous
waveform which captures the bit transition information
(right)
I&Q Signals

• The resulting waveform is divided into In-Phase and


Quadrature components
– In-phase: Left
– Quadrature: Right
• The two signal components are then up-converted to the
carrier frequency
GMSK Properties
• Improved spectral efficiency
• Power Spectral Density
– Reduced main lobe over MSK
• Requires more power to transmit data than
many comparable modulation schemes
