Systems (600) and methods (100) for demodulating a Gaussian Filtered Minimum Shift Keyed (GMSK) signal. The GMSK signal is defined in a transmitted symbol domain where each symbol is given by a product of a current data bit and a previous data bit. The GMSK signal is converted from the transmitted symbol domain to a data symbol domain. The conversion is achieved by approximating filtered complex output signals that would be produced by matched filters having filter shapes corresponding to pulses used in terms of a Laurent expansion. Subsequent to the convention of the GMSK signal, a trellis equalization of the GMSK signal is performed exclusively in the data symbol domain based on the terms of the Laurent expansion. |
