Coded octal PSK system performance disturbed by imperfect recovered phase reference

There have been various investigations on the PSK modulation technique which is encoded by a convolutional code. For the bandwidth constrained transmission, such as satellite communications, it is important to hold a high information transmission rate. From this viewpoint, the coded 8‐phase PSK (8PSK) system seems advantageous. This paper investigates the coded 8PSK system performance using the theoretical analysis and computer simulation when disturbed by the recovered carrier phase error and jitter. The results obtained here should be useful for coded PSK modem design.
