Abstract
A Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying modulator that provides direct modulation of a carrier signal, produced by a single microwave high power voltage controlled oscillator. A continuous phase frequency shift keyed modulated signal with a modulation index of 0.5 is produced at the desired output frequency using a full 360 degree linear continuous phase modulator, controlled by a linear baseband signal that is the integral of the binary baseband information signal. This modulated signal is used as the reference signal for a phase locked high power voltage controlled oscillator. The phase locked loop provides frequency tracking and Gaussian spectral shaping to the modulated output signal.
