Abstract
A phase modulation system includes a phase mapping circuit (218) for mapping binary data into a plurality of discrete phase values in accordance with a predetermined phase modulation scheme. The discrete phase values are then filtered in the phase domain by a filter (220) to provide a filtered output. This filtered output is then digitized and input to a numerically controlled oscillator for phase modulating a carrier.
