Combined coding with modulation is an important topic. It is verified in this thesis that a combined decoder and demodulation Viterbi receiver has a better error probability than a cascade of two separate Viterbi decoder and demodulator. Conventionally, the free distance is taken as the principle criterion for computing the error probability for coding or modulation. In many cases, distance spectrum needs to be provided for analyze the Maximum likelihood decoding. However, it is difficult for computing the distance spectrum for a combined coding with modulation because of a nonlinear structure inside.
In this thesis, we first build an augmented trellis for the combined coding with modulation. Applying the concept of difference by exclusive OR and regular subtraction to the augmented trellis, we build an improved virtual trellis. As a consequence the distance spectrum for our problem can be computed because of the linear structure of the virtual trellis. The distance spectrum for different convolutional codes and CPM systems are investigated by us. Experiments results have demonstrate that a better distance spectrum implies a better error ability.
