Abstract
A technique for generating a phase modulated, constant envelope transmit signal having continuous phase transitions between adjacent symbols involves generating a stream of symbols having a sequence of symbol states and identifying antipodal phase transitions between adjacent symbols representing different states. The phase rotation polarity of the continuous phase transitions between adjacent symbols having antipodal phase transitions is controlled such that a phase rotation polarity pattern of the antipodal phase transitions in the stream of symbols is uncorrelated with the sequence of symbol states. The constant envelope transmit signal is then generated from the stream of symbols. The spectral profile of the constant envelope signal can be tailored by selection of the phase trajectory shape and the portion of the symbol over which the continuous phase transition occurs.
