Effect of noisy carrier reference signal and interference on performance of MSK receiver.

This paper considers the coherent detection of minimum shift keying signal and a degradation in error rate performance from ideal due to an interference and a phase discrepancy between the carrier of the received signal and the carrier of the receiver. The error rate is calculated for the simple receiver model with integrate-and-dump circuits. The reference carrier signal unsteadiness is presented by the probability density function of the first order non-linear PLL phase error, while the uncertainty due to an interference is involved in the system model with a random phase of cosine signal that accompanied the useful signal.
