The emerging 5GHz unlicensed bands in Europe andthe US may be used to support short range, high ratelinks for portable computers. This would overcome therange and directionality limitations of today's infra-red connections. This paper investigates theperformance of a binary FM link in this application,operating in a dispersive indoor channel. Theconsequence of increasing the modulation index isexplored as a cost free means of multipath mitigation.

An increase from 0.5 (MSK) to 1 was found to yield aworthwhile improvement in tolerable delay spread.Increasing the index beyond 1 gave no furtherimprovement but significantly affected the spectraloccupancy of the signal. This defines a precise designpoint for high rate, short range radios.
