He propose that, using a gaussian filter on a 2 pam signa l, and then using an fm modulator with a modulation. Application note gmsk practical gmsk data transmission. The frequency shifting in gmsk comes from carefully steering the phase of the carrier in quadrature so as to yield a continuous phase. Minimum shift keying, msk, is a form frequency modulation based on a system called continuousphase frequencyshift keying. Gmsk demodulator power spectrum of gmsk advantages. Gmsk gaussian minimum shift keying is a type of msk that uses the same basic concepts, but applies a gaussian filter to a signal before its frequency is.
