ABSTRACT:
A communication system generates a constant-envelope composite signal containing at least two signals whose power levels, bandwidths, and/or data rates are independently controllable. Binary offset carrier (BOC) modulation is applied to the signals to be combined in the composite signal. The BOC modulated signals are then combined via interplex modulation to form a constant-envelope composite signal in which the constituent signals modulate different offset carriers. For example, real BOC modulation can be used to generate a ranging signal in edge portions of the transmission band of the composite signal, while complex BOC modulation can be used to generate a frequency agile data signal in a center portion of the transmission band. Such a signal can be used for full duplex communications in satellite crosslinks. The interplex modulation allows independent control of the power levels of the two signals while maintaining a constant envelope, permitting use of saturated RF amplifiers.
