Description of such signals and the formulas for calculating the minimum squared Euclidean distance are presented. We have developed an analytic building method for even and odd values of <i>M</i>. Hence, no computer search and no heuristic methods are required. The new optimized BFSK-MAPSK (<i>M </i>= 5,6,···,16) signal constructions are built for the values of modulation indexes <i>h</i> =0.1,0.15,···,0.5 and their parameters are given. The results of computer simulations are also provided. Based on the obtained results we can conclude, that BFSK-MAPSK systems outperform similar four-dimensional systems both in terms of minimum squared Euclidean distance and simulated symbol error rate.展开更多
