There are also new or more complex considerations
for 8PSK and EGPRS:
• (TX) Amplifier linearity, efficiency - thermal/battery again, but
this time MUCH worse
• (TX) Modulation Quality – EVM/Phase error/Frequency error
• (TX) Filter changes between GMSK and 8PSK,
but (almost same) ORFS emission mask
• (RX) Receiver must now demodulate both GMSK and 8PSK,
perhaps in contiguous bursts – 8PSK S/N - BER/BLER
demodulation challenges
EGPRS design considerations (RF)
1. Linearity of modulation (GSM/GPRS)
• how do we preserve phase and amplitude
information when radio components (e.g. power
amplifiers) introduce distortions of their own?
• GSM transmitters have been optimised to deliver
‘high’ efficiency and low noise at low cost
