Abstract

The bit-error probability performance of coherent binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) in the presence of narrowband (tone) and wideband (modulated tone) is investigated. The impact of the interference on both the carrier-tracking loop (assumed to be a conventional Costas loop) and the data detection are considered both individually and in combination. It is shown that, for loop parameters of practical interest, the dominant effect is the degradation induced on the data-detection process, which, depending on the relative frequency offset between the interferer and the desired signal as well as their relative power ratio, can be quite significant.
