What is GMSK Modulation - Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying

- overview, information and tutorial about the basics of what is Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying or Gaussian filtered Minimum Shift Keying, GMSK, a form of modulation used for radio communications applications including GSM cellular technology.
This phase modulation, PM tutorial is split into several pages:

[1] What is phase modulation
[2] Phase shift keying, PSK
[3] Minimum shift keying, MSK
[4] Gaussian minimum shift keying, GMSK
[5] Quadrature amplitude modulation, QAM
[6] Different forms of QAM

Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying, or to give it its full title Gaussian filtered Minimum Shift Keying, GMSK, is a form of modulation used in a variety of digital radio communications systems. It has advantages of being able to carry digital modulation while still using the spectrum efficiently. One of the problems with other forms of phase shift keying is that the sidebands extend outwards from the main carrier and these can cause interference to other radio communications systems using nearby channels.

In view of the efficient use of the spectrum in this way, GMSK modulation has been used in a number of radio communications applications. Possibly the most widely used is the GSM cellular technology which is used worldwide and has well over 3 billion subscribers.
GMSK basics

GMSK modulation is based on MSK, which is itself a form of phase shift keying. One of the problems with standard forms of PSK is that sidebands extend out from the carrier. To overcome this, MSK and its derivative GMSK can be used.



MSK and also GMSK modulation are what is known as a continuous phase scheme. Here there are no phase discontinuities because the frequency changes occur at the carrier zero crossing points. This arises as a result of the unique factor of MSK that the frequency difference between the logical one and logical zero states is always equal to half the data rate. This can be expressed in terms of the modulation index, and it is always equal to 0.5.
