It should be apparent that an amplitude-based signaling scheme, such as amplitude
shift keying (ASK) or quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), is inherently vul-
nerable to performance degradation in a fading environment. Thus, for fading
channels, the preferred choice for a signaling scheme is a frequency or phase-based
modulation type.
In considering orthogonal FSK modulation for fading channels. the use of
MFSK (with M = 8 or larger) is useful because its error performance is better than
binary signaling. In slow Rayleigh fading channels, binary DPSK and 8-FSK per-
form within 0.1 dB of each other 1191. At first glance, one mieht argue that a higher
order orthogonal alphabet expands the transmission bandwidth, which at some
point may cause the coherence bandwidth of the channel to be exceeded, leading
to frequency-selective fading. However, for MFSK, the transmission bandwidth
that must be available is much larger than the bandwidth of the propagating signal.
For example, consider the case of 8-FSK and a symbol rate of 10,000 symbols/s.
The transmission bandwidth is MR, = 80,000 Hertz. This is the bandwidth that must
be available for the system's use. However, each time that a symbol is transmitted.
only one single-sideband tone (having a spectral occupancy of 10.000 hertz) is sent,
not the whole alphabet. In considering PSK modulation for fading channels, higher
order modulation alphabets perform poorly. MPSK with M = 8 or larger should be
avoided 1191.
