Simple nonlinear GMSK receiver for multipath environment

A simplification of the maximum likelihood sequence detector (MLSD) algorithm with zero decision delay is presented for GMSK receivers based on limiter discriminator in a frequency selective fading environment. Good performance is obtained when the detector employs side envelope information.
