    DIGITAL MODEM
    DESIGN

    by William G. Cowley
    Australian Space Centre for Signal Processing
    University of South Australia

    This Chapter considers the modems used in digital communications sys-


    tems. In particular, the design and implementation of modems for mobile
    satellite (mobilesat) systems will be examined. These modems provide a
    good illustration of the need for advanced approaches to modem design
    because of the propagation characteristics of the mobiles at channel. The
    emphasis will be on using discrete-time signal processing techniques. This
    provides greater flexiblity and allows performance closer to the theoretical
    optimum. In higher speed modems, approaches combining continuous-time
    and discrete-time processing will be examined.
    Our attention will be focused on digital modems. Modern systems al-
    most invariably encode analog signals (such as speech waveforms) into digi-
    tal streams before modulation. In this way digital modulation and channel
    coding can be employed for analog as well as digital services as explained in
    Chapter 1. Since the most common family of digital modulation methods
    is M-PSK modulation, most of the discussion will be concentrated in this
    area. Many of the methods are also suitable, perhaps in a modified form, for
    systems which use amplitude as well as phase variations of the carrier (e.g.
    QAM).

    190 CHAPTER 5. DIGITAL MODEM DESIGN

    The general layout of the chapter is as follows. In this section we will start
    with a descriptive review of modem functions and then complement this with
    a mathematical description of basic modem operation. We also look briefly
    at some particular problems of the mobile environment. In the next two
    sections we will examine filtering and frequency translation requirements in
    modems and how they can be implemented with digital signal processing
    techniques. This allows generic discrete-time modulator and demodulator
    structures, suitable for programmable implementation, to be suggested in
    Section 4. Synchronisation methods are then discussed in the context of
    maximum likelihood estimation. Sections 5 and 6 deal with carrier phase
    and symbol timing recovery respectively.
