For fast fading digital mobile systems, a s ec trally efficient technique that can achieve more ,Ran 2b/s/Hz with a built-in fade canceller is Recent studies show that fading in digital mo!%:g$ munications can be cancelled by adding redundant bits to the customer data or with Pilot-based techniques. The objective of this paper is to extend this concept to a more spectrally efficient class IV Quadrature Partial Response Signalin (QPRS) system. However, in such schemes if the ikt is corru ted by the phase noise caused by the plot-data interkrence, the fade cancellation will not effectively remove the error floor. The class IV system has an inherent advantage, in that it has a s ectral null at DC and a low ener y content at the en& of the band. Such systems also fave a higher speed tolerance. It is shown that a small bandwidth around DC can be vacated to insert the pilot. Our Ireliminary results indicate that the residual error oor can be reduced from lo-* to in fast fading channels. We show t h e imurovement in BER Derformance of the band-vacated QPRS compared i o -t h e unfiltered QPRS.
