In this paper, we present signal space detectors for use with maximum
transition run (MTR) codes. A three-dimensional signal space detector
is first derived for an MTR=2 coded channel. The bit error rate perfor
mance of this detector is close to MTR-coded FDTS/DF(2) throughout the
user density range of interest. The detector is then modified to be u
sed with a time-variant MTR code. Simulation as well as experimental r
esults are presented.
