Abstract

This paper analyses the performance of Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK) modulation in Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels. Using MATLAB 2022b for simulations, the study explores GFSK modulation principles, the role of Gaussian low-pass filters, the characteristics reflected by Power Spectral Density (PSD), and the influence of Bit Time-Bandwidth Product (BT) on Bit Error Rate (BER). It has been observed that the Gaussian filter restricts sidelobe amplitudes and enhances spectral efficiency. Through varying BT values, it is observed that higher BT values correlate with lower BER. Additionally, the study successfully reconstructs original baseband signals through sampling decisions, confirming GFSK modulation effectiveness.
