Description
The CPM Demodulator Baseband block demodulates an input signal that was modulated using the continuous phase modulation (CPM) method.
CPM is a modulation method with memory. The block processing includes a correlator followed by a maximum-likelihood sequence detector (MLSD) that searches the paths through the state trellis for the minimum Euclidean distance path. The block uses the Viterbi algorithm to perform MLSD.

More About
CPM Demodulation
The CPM demodulation method process consists of a correlator followed by a maximum-likelihood sequence detector (MLSD) that searches the paths through the state trellis for the minimum Euclidean distance path. When the modulation index is rational (h = m / p), a finite number of phase states exist in the symbol. The implementation uses the Viterbi algorithm to perform MLSD.
{hi} is a sequence of modulation indices that moves cyclically through a set of indices {h0, h1, h2, …,hH-1}.
hi = mi / pi is the modulation index in proper rational form.
mi is the numerator of the modulation index.
pi is the denominator of the modulation index.
mi and pi are relatively prime positive numbers.
The least common multiple (LCM) of {p0, p1, p2, …,pH-1} is denoted as p.
hi= m'i / p.
{hi} determines the number of phase states,
and affects the number of trellis states,
numStates = numPhaseStates×M(L-1),
L is the pulse length.
M is the modulation order.
CPM Method
The input to the demodulator is a baseband representation of the modulated signal:
where:
{αi} is a sequence of M-ary data symbols selected from the alphabet ±1, ±3, ±(M–1).
M must have the form 2k for some positive integer k, where M is the modulation order and specifies the size of the symbol alphabet.
{hi} is a sequence of modulation indices. hi moves cyclically through a set of indices {h0, h1, h2, ..., hH-1}. When H=1, only one modulation index exists, h0, which is denoted as h.
Pulse Shape Filtering
The CPM method uses pulse shaping to smooth the phase transitions of the modulated signal. The function q(t) is the phase response obtained from the frequency pulse, g(t), through this relation: .
The specified frequency pulse shape corresponds to these pulse shape expressions for g(t).

Tamed FM (tamed frequency modulation) |
Lmain is the main lobe pulse duration in symbol intervals.
β is the roll-off factor of the spectral raised cosine.
Bb is the product of the bandwidth and the Gaussian pulse.
The duration of the pulse, LT, is the pulse length in symbol intervals. As defined by the expressions, the spectral raised cosine, Gaussian, and tamed FM pulse shapes have infinite length. For all practical purposes, LT specifies the truncated finite length.
T is the symbol durations.
Q(t) is the complementary cumulative distribution function.

Integer-Valued and Binary-Valued Output Signals
When the Output type parameter is set to
Integer
:
The block produces odd integers between –(M–1) and M–1. The modulation order, M, is specified by the M-ary number parameter.
The Output datatype parameter cannot be set to
boolean
.
When the Output type parameter is set to
Bit
:
The block produces groupings of k-length binary words. The binary word mapping options are binary-coded ordering or Gray-coded ordering.
The Output datatype can only be
double
orboolean
.In binary output mode, the block processing follows this procedure:
Maps each input symbol to an intermediate value, as in the integer output mode.
Maps the odd integer L to the nonnegative integer (L+M–1)/2.
Maps each nonnegative integer to a binary word, using
Binary
orGray
mapping, as specified by the Symbol set ordering parameter.
Single-Rate Processing
In single-rate processing mode, the input and output signals have the same port sample time. The block implicitly implements the rate change by making a size change at the output when compared to the input. The input width must be an integer multiple of the Samples per symbol parameter value, and the input can be a column vector.
When you set Output type to
Bit
, the output width is K times the number of input symbols.When you set Output type to
Integer
, the output width is the number of input symbols.
Multirate Processing
In multirate processing mode, the input and output signals have different port sample times. The input must be a scalar. The output symbol time is the product of the input sample time and the Samples per symbol parameter value.
When you set Output type to
Bit
, the output width equals the number of bits per symbol.When you set Output type to
Integer
, the output is a scalar.
Traceback Depth and Output Delays
The traceback depth is the number of trellis branches used to construct each traceback path. Traceback depth influences the output delay, which is the number of zero symbols that precede the first meaningful demodulated value in the output.
The optimal traceback depth setting depends on minimum squared Euclidean distance calculations. Alternatively, you can choose a typical value, dependent on the number of states, using the five-times-the-constraint-length rule, which corresponds to 5log2(numStates).
For a binary raised cosine pulse shape with a pulse length of 3 and h=2/3, applying this rule (5log2(3×22) = 18 gives a result that is close to the optimum value of 20.
When the Rate options parameter is set to
Allow multirate processing
, and the model uses a variable-step solver or a fixed-step solver with the Tasking Mode parameter set toSingleTasking
, then the delay vector consists of (Traceback depth+1) zero-value symbols.When the Rate options parameter is set to
Enforce single-rate processing
, the delay vector consists of Traceback depth zero-value symbols.
