Implementation -
Although the best implementation discussions are found in proprietary technical manuals of systems built by several corporations, a few articles do describe some details of construction. \AM078}, \CRU78} and \MAT781 present some practical hard ware notes. Masamura et al. \MAS79} show a different technique using differential detection, which needs a higher signal-to-noise ratio to work as well as straight MSK synchronous detection. This differential technique has the benefit of providing error correction, however, and could be used in a number of weak-signal or fading situations.
