摘　　要：It is a challenging problem to design a high performance modulation for mobile satellite communications due to the limited power and bandwidth resource.The paper improves Feher patented Quadrature Phase Shift Keying(FQPSK) by redefining the waveform.The novel FQPSK,with con-stant envelope,can be used to improve the power efficiency and frequency efficiency of mobile satellite communication.The study shows that the improved FQPSK outperforms conventional FQPSK over AWGN and is immune to the non-linearity of high power amplifier.At last,the impact of flat fading and multi-path fading of channel on the BER performance of improved modulation is analyzed.It is a challenging problem to design a high performance modulation for mobile satellite communications due to the limited power and bandwidth resource.

The study shows that the improved FQPSK outperforms conventional FQPSK over AWGN and is immune to the non-linearity of high power amplifier. At last, the impact of fiat fading and multi-path fading of channel on the BER performance of improved modulation is anlyzed.
