    Study Notes

    Modulations in Digital Communications

    • Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK)
    • Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)
    • Multiple Phase Shift Keying (M-PSK)
    • Minimum Shift Keying (MSK)
    • Gaussian filtered MSK (GMSK)
    • Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)
    • Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)

    Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)

    • Simplest case of two-level amplitude shift keying:
      • SDAM(t) = √(2Ei/T) cos(2πfct), i = 1, 2; 0 < t ≤ T
    • Digital data example: 0 1 0 1 0
    • Modulation demonstrates frequency, amplitude, phase, and combined amplitude and phase shifts.

    ASK Error Probability

    • Minimum error probability:
      • p(e)min = 1/2 * erfc(√((E0 + E1 - 2√(E0E1)) / 4N0))
    • On-Off ASK signal error probability:
      • p(e) = (1/2) * erfc(√(Eb / 2N0))
    • E = average bit energy; N0 = noise spectral density

    Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK)

    • Information stored in signal phase
    • RF carrier phase = 0 for logical 1, π for logical 0
    • BPSK signal expression:
      • SDFM(t) = √(2Eb / T) cos(2πfct), 0 ≤ t ≤ T
    • For coherent BPSK pulses of duration T, a whole number of carrier periods.
    • T = n / fc

    BPSK Signal Shape and Spectrum

    • BPSK signal spectrum is symmetrically distributed with respect to carrier frequency.
    • SDFM(f) = const * [sin(π(f - fc)T) / π(f - fc)T] + [sin(π(f + fc)T) / π(f + fc)T]
    • Positive frequencies greater than 0

    BPSK Transmitter and Receiver

    • Block diagram shows binary sequence to bipolar signal, modulator(multiplier), BPSK signal at output, correlator, local carrier, decision device, bandpass filter and frequency divider

    BPSK Bit Error Rate (BER)

    • Bit error rate for noisy BPSK signal:
      • p(e)min = (1/2) *erfc(√((Eb + E1 -2 √(EbE1)) / 4N0))
    • For Antipodal signals:
      • Eb = E1=E0 and ρ = -1
      • s0(t) = -s1(t)
      • p(e) = (1/2) * erfc(√(Eb/N0))

    Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)

    • Two types:
      • s1(t) = (2Eb / T) cos(2πfct + iπ/4), 0 ≤t ≤ T — Standard QPSK — i = 0, 1, 2, 3
      • s1(t) = (2Eb / T) cos(2πfct + iπ/2), 0 ≤t ≤ T — Rotated QPSK — i = 0, 1, 2, 3

    QPSK Modulation

    • s1(t) = (2Eb / T) [cos(2πfct + iπ/2 + φ0) ]
    • i = 0, 1, 2, 3 – General case
    • φ0 = π/2 – Rotated QPSK
    • φ0 = π/4 – Standard QPSK

    QPSK Transmitter and Receiver

    • Block diagrams, showing binary sequences, bipolar signals, multiplexers, carriers, I/Q sequences, phase shifters, summers, etc.

    Offset QPSK

    • Avoids phase jumps by two times per symbol
    • eg, 01 → 10.

    π/4-QPSK and π/4-DQPSK

    • π/4-QPSK uses both constellations, with carrier phase changed by ±π/4 as symbol switches.
    • Phase changes are ±π/4 and ±3π/4 instead of π/2 and π in QPSK.

    π/4-DQPSK - Example

    • Logical series transmission
    • Pulse phase determination

    π/4-DQPSK - Noncoherent Decoder

    • Signal decoding methods

    Bit Error Rate (BER) for M-Ary Modulation

    • Bit error rate for QPSK, O-QPSK, and π/4-QPSK and BPSK is the same under additive Gaussian noise.

    Minimum Shift Keying (MSK)

    • Using half-cosine pulses

    Minimum Shift Keying (MSK) Signal Frequency

    • Instantaneous frequency of MSK signal has just two values

    Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK)
