We propose serially concatenated convolutional codes with continuous phase modulation for aeronautical telemetry. Such a concatenated code has an outer encoder whose code words are permuted by an interleaver, and a modulation, which is viewed as a code and takes the interleaved words as its input and produces the modulated signal. Since bandwidth expansion is a concern when coding is introduced, we focus on high rate punctured codes of rates 2/3 through 9/10. These are obtained by puncturing the basic rate 1/2 convolutional codes with maximal free distance. At the receiver end we use a reduced complexity iterative decoding algorithm which is essentially a soft input soft output decoding algorithm. These simple highly powerful concatenated codes produce high coding gains with minimum bandwidth expansion.Sponsors
