1 Scope
The modulator receives the bits from the encryption unit, see 3GPP TS 45.001, and produces an RF signal. The filtering
of the Radio Frequency (RF) signal necessary to obtain the spectral purity is not defined, neither are the tolerances
associated with the theoretical filter requirements specified. These are contained in 3GPP TS 45.005.
1.1 References
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present
document.
• References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or
non-specific.
• For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
• For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including
a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same
Release as the present document.

2 Modulation format for GMSK
2.1 Modulating symbol rate
The modulating symbol rate is the normal symbol rate which is defined as 1/T = 1 625/6 ksymb/s (i.e. approximately
270.833 ksymb/s), which corresponds to 1 625/6 kbit/s (i.e. 270.833 kbit/s). T is the normal symbol period (see
3GPP TS 45.010).

2.2 Start and stop of the burst
Before the first bit of the bursts as defined in 3GPP TS 45.002 enters the modulator, the modulator has an internal state
as if a modulating bit stream consisting of consecutive ones (d = 1) had entered the differential encoder. Also after the
i
last bit of the time slot, the modulator has an internal state as if a modulating bit stream consisting of consecutive ones
(d = 1) had continued to enter the differential encoder. These bits are called dummy bits and define the start and the
i
stop of the active and the useful part of the burst as illustrated in figure 1. Nothing is specified about the actual phase of
the modulator output signal outside the useful part of the burst.

useful part lasts for 147 modulating bits
2.3 Differential encoding
Each data value d = [0,1] is differentially encoded. The output of the differential encoder is:
i
$
dd=⊕d ({d∈ 01,})
ii i−1 i
where ⊕ denotes modulo 2 addition.
The modulating data value α input to the modulator is:
i
$
αα=−12d ({∈ −1,+1})
ii i
2.4 Filtering
The modulating data values α as represented by Dirac pulses excite a linear filter with impulse response defined by:
i
t
⎛ ⎞
g()t = h()t * rect
⎜ ⎟
⎝ ⎠
T
where the function rect(x) is defined by:
⎛ t ⎞ 1 T
rect= ⎜ ⎟
⎝ ⎠
TT 2
⎛ t ⎞
rect = 0 otherwise
⎜ ⎟
⎝ ⎠

where δ==and BT 03.
2πBT
where B is the 3 dB bandwidth of the filter with impulse response h(t). This theoretical filter is associated with
tolerances defined in 3GPP TS 45.005.
2.5 Output phase
The phase of the modulated signal is:
ti'−T
ϕα('th) = π g(u)du
i
∑
∫
i
−∞
where the modulating index h is 1/2 (maximum phase change in radians is π/2 per data interval).
The time reference t' = 0 is the start of the active part of the burst as shown in figure 1. This is also the start of the bit
period of bit number 0 (the first tail bit) as defined in 3GPP TS 45.002.
2.6 Modulation
The modulated RF carrier, except for start and stop of the TDMA burst may therefore be expressed as:
2E
c
xt(')=+. cos(2πϕft' (t')+ϕ )
00
T
where E is the energy per modulating bit, f is the centre frequency and ϕ is a random phase and is constant during
c 0 0
one burst.
In case of EC-EGPRS operation when using blind physical layer transmissions (see 3GPP TS 43.064 [7]) the modulated
RF carrier, except for start and stop of the burst may, for each blind physical layer transmission of a burst for which
phase coherency is required (see 3GPP TS 45.005 [4]), be expressed as:
2E
c
x(t') = . cos(2π f (t'+t ) +ϕ(t') +ϕ +ϕ )
0 0 157 0
T
where
- t is a burst-specific time offset, constant during one burst, and is defined as the time difference between time
0
instant t' = 0 for the current burst and t' = 0 for the first transmission of the same burst in the current TDMA
frame.
- ϕ is a phase shift of either 0 or πh, and is constant during one burst.
157
- ϕ is a random phase and is constant during all blind physical layer transmissions of the same burst within the
0
same TDMA frame.
