The concept of orthogonal frequency shift keying (fsk) in carrier frequency modulation. The document derives the cross-correlation between two orthogonal signals and discusses the conditions for their orthogonality. It also calculates the average probability of error for binary fsk with an optimum receiver in additive white gaussian noise (awgn) and compares it to the orthogonal fsk case.

The data is impressed upon the carrier frequency. Therefore, the M dierent signals are
sm (t) = APT (t) cos (2πfct + 2π (m − 1) ∆ (f ) t + θm) (1)
for m ∈ { 1 , 2 ,... , M } The M dierent signals have M dierent carrier frequencies with possibly dierent phase angles since the generators of these carrier signals may be dierent. The carriers are
f 1 = fc (2)
f 2 = fc + ∆ (f )
fM = fc − M ∆ (f )
Thus, the M signals may be designed to be orthogonal to each other.

If 2 fcT + (n + m − 2) ∆ (f ) T is an integer, and if (m − n) ∆ (f ) T is also an integer, then < Sm, Sn >= 0 if ∆ (f ) T is an integer, then < sm, sn >' 0 when fc is much larger than (^) T^1. In case ∀m, θm = 0 : (θm = 0)

Therefore, the frequency spacing could be as small as ∆ (f ) = (^21) T since sinc (x) = 0 if x = ± (1) or ± (2). ∗Version 1.1: Jul 3, 2009 8:09 am GMT- †http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

in AWGN. Note that sinc (x) takes its minimum value not at x = ± (1) but at ± (1.4) and the minimum value is − 0. 216. Therefore if ∆ (f ) = (^0) T.^7 then
[U+2010] P (^) e =^ Q
which is a gain of 10 × log1. 216 ' 0. 85 dθ over orthogonal FSK.
