Özet

In this letter, we construct new encoder-independent upper bounds on the free distance for the rate (n-1)/n convolutional encoders that are formed by using rate 1/2 encoders and combined with 2(n)-level constant-envelope full-response CPFSK signals of single-h, by generalizing the bounding technique employed for the existing bounds. The new bounds coincide with the existing bounds for hless than or equal to0.25, but are generally better for h>0.25. We also present actual encoder combinations achieving the constructed new bounds with short constraint lengths.
