Feher-patented quadrature phase shift keying (fqpsk) modulation is proposed for single-carrier frequency domain equalization (sc-fde). this paper puts forward a new method modulation called cc-bcd-fqpsk. the fqpsk signal is oversampled to make that the discrete fourier transform (dft)/ inverse dft (idft) processing of it can be applied for sc-fde. the methodology for maintaining waveform continuity with a cyclic prefix (cp) is presented. wrap-around viterbi algorithm (wava) is suggested for demodulation after equalization at the receiver. simulation results show that sc-fde system based on cc-bcd-fqpsk modulation has higher spectral efficiency than linear modulation qpsk and is an effective approach for eliminating isi and using nonlinear high power amplifier.
