Abstract

In this paper, we propose a powerful trellis shaping for peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) reduction of pulse-shaped phase shift keying (PSK) systems. The proposed approach consists of 1) memory extension of trellis shaping encoder for capturing the full effect of pulse shaping filter impulse response, and 2) simple branch metrics that quantify envelope fluctuation of the filter output. Simulation results demonstrate that achieving near constant envelope is possible even if a pulse shaping filter with a roll-off factor as low as 0.1 is employed. Furthermore, due to the circular nature of the resulting signal trajectory, the proposed system also exhibits a robustness against sampling timing jitter at the receiver.
