Abstract
In this letter, the problem of adjacent channel interference (ACI) caused by the close packing of constant envelope MSK-type users in a given frequency band is considered. An optimal receiver filter, based on the theory of matched filtering, is found, and it serves as an upper bound on the signal-to-interference ratio. The intersymbol inteference (ISI) caused by the time response of the matched filter is eliminated by a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) which, however, degrades performance. It was found that the matched-filter upper bound allows about 3-15 dB more ACI than the performance of a classical correlation detector (for additive white Gaussian noise only), depending on the frequency separation between channels. The DFE performance is only a little bit worse than that of the matched filter.
