The performance of a digital enhanced cordless telecommunications (DECT) re
ceiver in a static channel is studied. The theoretical results are then com
pared with computer-based simulations. The following issues were investigat
ed: bit-error-rate performance of the differentially coherent detector with
and without decision feedback, performance of both the frequency offset es
timation from the DECT preamble, and the signal-to-noise ratio obtained fro
m both the DECT preamble and the data field.
