When, however, it is impractical tg ha of the carrier phase at the receiver, we resort to the use of none, tion. In this section, we study the noise performance of noneo FSK signals, assuming an AWGN channel. In the case of phase we cannot have ‘‘noncoherent PSK,”” because noncoherent meat out phase information. Nevertheless, there is a ‘‘pseudo ps} called differential phase-shift keying (DPSK), which may be y noncoherent form of PSK. In this section, we also study the noise of DPSK. The approach taken is to treat noncoherent binary FS signals as special cases of noncoherent orthogonal modulation. For the noise analysis of noncoherent binary ASK signals, referred to Problem 7.4.6. As with the coherent case, it turns out signal-to-noise ratios noncoherent binary ASK and FSK signals h average probability of error for an AWGN channel. (1) Noncoherent Orthogonal Modulation Consider a binary signaling scheme that involves the use of Signals s\(t) and s,(t), which have equal energy. During the inte! one of these two signals is sent Over an imperfect channel that shill phase by an unknown amount. Let g(t) and g(t) denote the P versions of s,(t) and s,(t), respectively. It is assumed that the si 82(t) remain orthogonal and of equal energy, regardless of the 4" Phase. We refer to such a signaling scheme as noncoherent orthost tion. Depending on how we define the orthogonal pair of signals a noncoherent binary FSK and DPSK may be treated as spec? modulation scheme.
