Study Notes
M-ary Modulation
- M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) uses M=2n phase values, where n represents information bits per symbol.
- Common M-PSK modulations include 8-PSK, 16-PSK, and 32-PSK.
- The signal s1(t) is represented by a mathematical equation, showing its dependency on phase, frequency, and time.
M-PSK Modulation
- 8-PSK constellation diagram uses a Gray code for efficient bit transitions.
- The diagram visually represents the different phase values in the complex plane (I, Q).
Error Performance of M-PSK Modulation
- The symbol error rate (SER) for M-PSK has an equation, relating it to the symbol energy, noise power spectral density, and the number of phases.
- Minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values for a bit error rate (BER) of less than 10-6 are provided for different values of M.
- Modulation spectral efficiency (bits/Hz) values are also given in a table for different values of M.
