Yes, and it might be informative for him to take a look at this signal
in the frequency domain to see this, as well as perhaps synthesizing/
simulating some similar ones and seeing what those look like in
frequency.

The positive and negative fixed-amplitude modulation would be ordinary
FSK if the transitions were abrupt. Slowing the frequency transitions by
shaping the pulses reduces out-of-band splatter. Modulating with square
pulses and bandpass filtering the modulated carrier will produce the
rounded pulses you observe upon demodulation. Make the bandpass filter
narrow enough and you have MSK.

Thanks. Given the noise and distortion, I can't really tell whether
the original frequency-modulating pulses are Gaussian, sine-squared,
or some other similar shape. Mainly, I was looking for acronyms like
GMSK, SFSK, etc. that point in the right general direction.

John,
The other answers are good, but i would be a bit more general. In my
mind what you describe is
a subset of the CPM continuous phase modulation family. Assuming that
the 0s and 1s you describe are actually being mapped to a binary +/-1,
which is evident when you describe negative and positive going pulses,
then all that remains is for you to describe exactly the frequency
pulse g(t) which for CPM can be GMSK, Raised cosine, shaped raised
cosine (which all give you the Gaussian shape-like curve you
describe). You then drive the output (with suitable scaling) through
a freq modulator.
The resultant for single h is
s(t,a) = exp(j * phi(t,a) )
where
phi(t,a) = 2 pi h sum_i a_i q(t-iT) and q(t) = int_{-infty}^t g(b) db
and a_i are the binary mapped symbols
I guess all i would do is define the freq pulse shape g(t) that you
observe, and you have everything else.

I can see how this signal could also be generated by starting
with a sine wave whose frequency is one-half of the bit rate
with its zero-crossings sync'ed to the bit transitions. This
sine wave would then be squared and BPSK modulated by the bit
stream. The result could then have been used to
frequency-modulate a higher-frequency subcarrier.
I was looking for an acronym to google. My thanks to everyone
who responded.
