Reduction of the error floor of MSK by nonlinear frequency discriminator

Molisch, Andreas LU and Petrovic, R (2003) In IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications 2(5). p.1101-1107
Abstract
We consider the error floor of binary frequency-shift keying (FSK) due to intersymbol interference in time-dispersive mobile radio channels, with a limiter-discriminator-integrator detector. The errors are caused by bursts in the instantaneous frequency. We propose and verify that a nonlinear frequency discriminator can achieve zero error floor for pure FSK by clipping off these bursts. For filtered FSK, the error floor is not completely removed, but strongly reduced - typically by one or two orders of magnitude. The tighter the filtering, the less effective this nonlinearity is. The nonlinear discriminator can also be used in conjunction with adaptive sampling.
