Abstract

The evaluation of Cramer-Rao Bounds (CRBs) for phase estimation of coded linearly modulated signals are difficult due to the intractable expectations of the likelihood function with respect to coded symbols. In this paper, we propose two methods towards this end. The first one is a semi-analytical method for coded QPSK signals. Based on Gaussian approximation of extrinsic information, the expression of CRB is derived in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the mean of extrinsic information in closed form. For high-order modulations, e.g., 16QAM signal, we propose a numerical method based on multidimensional Gauss-Hermite Quadrature (GHQ). It is shown that, without suffering from the linearization error, the results of numerical method by GHQ outperform the semi-analytical results, and the former are consistent with that of the Monte Carlo simulations for systems with different codes and numbers of decoding iterations.
