Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK)Lecture Notes 6: Basic Modulation SchemesThe first modulation considered is binary phase shift keying. In this scheme during every bitduration, denoted by T , one of two phases of the carrier is transmitted. These two phases are180 degrees apart. This makes these two waveforms antipodal. Any binary modulation wherethe two signals are antipodal gives the minimum error probability (for fixed energy) over anyother set of binary signals. The error probability can only be made smaller (for fixed energyper bit) by allowing more than two waveforms for transmitting information.In this lecture we examine a number of different simple modulation schemes. We examine theimplementation of the optimum receiver, the error probability and the bandwidth occupancy.We would like the simplest possible receiver, with the lowest error probability and smallestbandwidth for a given data rate.

The drawbacks are that the signal loses its constant envelopeproperty (useful for nonlinear amplifiers) and the sensitivity to timing errors is greatlyincreased. The timing sensitivity problem can be greatly alleviated by filtering to a slightlylarger bandwidth 1 α 2Tf fc1 α 2T .Notice that It is possible to reduce the bandwidth of a BPSK signal by filtering. If the filtering is doneproperly the (absolute) bandwidth of the signal can be reduced to 1 T without causing anyintersymbol interference; that is all the power is concentrated in the frequency range VI-11VI-12

Effect of Filtering and Nonlinear Amplificationon a BPSK waveform intervals. The receiver correlates with ψ t over the interval 0 T and compares with athreshold (usually 0) to make a decision. The correlation receiver is shown below. In this section we illustrate one main drawback to BPSK. The fact that the signal amplitudehas discontinuities causes the spectrum to have fairly large sidelobes. For a system that has aconstraint on the bandwidth this can be a problem. A possible solution is to filter the signal. Abandpas filter centered at the carrier frequency which removes the sidbands can be insertedafter mixing to the carrier frequency. Alternatly we can filter the data signal at basebandbefore mixing to the carrier frequency.rt T0 γγdec s0dec s1 Below we simulate this type of system to illustrate the effect of filtering and nonlinearamplification. The data waveform b t is mixed onto a carrier. This modulated waveform isdenoted by ψtThis is called the “Correlation Receiver.” Note that synchronization to the symbol timing andoscillator phase are required.2P cos 2π f ct s1 t The signal s1 t is filtered by a fourth order bandpass Butterworth filter with passband fromfc 4Rb to f c 4Rb The filtered signal is denoted by s2 t .

In this modulation technique one offour phases of the carrier is transmitted in a symbol duration denoted by Ts . Since one of fourwaveforms is transmitted there are two bits of information transmitted during each symbolduration. An alternative way of describing QPSK is that of two carriers offset in phase by 90degrees. Each of these carriers is then modulated using BPSK. These two carriers are calledthe inphase and quadrature carriers. Because the carriers are 90 degrees offset, at the output ofthe correlation receiver they do not interfer with each other (assuming perfect phasesynchronization). The advantage of QPSK over BPSK is that the the data rate is twice as highfor the same bandwidth. Alternatively single-sideband BPSK would have the same rate in bitsper second per hertz but would have a more difficult job of recovering the carrier frequencyand phase. st bs t P sin 2π f ct Figure 41: Modulator for QPSK VI-27VI-28

The phase of the overall carrier can be on of fourvalues. Transitions between any of the four values may occur at any symbol transition.Because of this, it is possible that the transition is to the 180 degree opposite phase. When thishappens the amplitude of the signal goes through zero. In theory this is an instantaneoustransition. In practice, when the signal has been filtered to remove out-of-band componentsthis transition is slowed down. During this transition the amplitude of the carrier goes throguhzero. This can be undesireable for various reasons. One reason is that nonlinear amplifierswith a non constant envelope signal will regenerate the out-of-band spectral components.Another reason is that at the receiver, certain synchronization circuits need constant envelopeto maintain their tracking capability. bs t12Ts3Ts4Ts5Tst2Ts3Ts4Ts5Tst Ts-1 φt 7π 45π 43π 4π 4 TsFigure 42: Timing and Phase of QPSK VI-31VI-32

Thus the data bit must be at least T 9 0 10 8 seconds long, i.e. the datarate 1 T must be less than 11 Mbits/second. Clearly we also need a (null-to-null) bandwidthof 11 MHz. Thus for the same data rate, transmitted power, and bit error rate (probability of error), QPSKhas half the (null-to-null) bandwidth of BPSK. VI-39VI-40

h P cos 2π f ct Ts 2 bc t Offset Quaternary Phase Shift Keying (OQPSK) st The disadvantages of QPSK can be fixed by offsetting one of the data streams by a fraction(usually 1/2) of a symbol duration. By doing this we only allow one data bit to change at atime. When this is done the possible phase transitions are 90 deg. In this way the transitionsthrough the origin are illiminated. Offset QPSK then gives the same performance as QPSKbut will have less distorition when there is filtering and nonlinearities. bs t P sin 2π f ct Figure 48: Modulator for OQPSKVI-41VI-42 bc l pTs tlTsbc l1lTsbs l11! l bc t Quadrature-phaseChannel bs l pTs tst(-1, 1)( 1, 1) φt 2P cos 2π f ct bs t sin 2π f ct Ts 2 cos 2π f ct P bc tst1! l bs tIn-phaseChannel The transmitted power is still P. The symbols duration is Ts seconds. The data rate isRb 2 Ts bits seconds. The bandwidth (null-to-null) is 2 Ts Rb . This modification ofQPSK removes the possibility of both data bits changing simultaneously. However, one of thedata bits may change every Ts 2 seconds but 180 degree changes are not allowed. Thebandwidth of OQPKS is the same as QPSK. OQPSK has advantage over QPSK when passedthrough nonlinearities (such as in a satellite) in that the out of band interference generated byfirst bandlimiting and then hard limiting is less with OQPSK than QPSK.

MSK can be thought of as avariant of OQPSK where the data pulse waveforms are shaped to allow smooth transitionbetween phases. It can also be thought of a a form of frequency shift keying where the twofrequencies are separated by the minimum amount to maintain orthogonality and havecontinuous phase when switching from one frequency to another (hence the name minimumshift keying). The advantages of MSK include a better spectral efficiency in most cases. Infact the spectrum of MSK falls off at a faster rate than BPSK, QPSK and OQPSK. In additionthere is an easier implementation than OQPSK (called serial MSK) that avoids the problem ofhaving a precisely controlled time offset between the two data streams. An additionaladvantage is that MSK can be demodulator noncoherently as well as coherently. So forapplications requiring a low cost receiver MSK may be a good choice. where Eb PTs 2 is the energy per transmitted bit.

During each time interval of duration Ts 2 duringwhich the data bits remain constant there is a phase shift of π 2. Because the phase changeslinearly with time MSK can also be viewed as frequency shift keying. The two different1frequencies are f c 2T1 s and f c 2T1 s .

Serial Modulation and Demodulation The implementation of MSK as parallel branches suffers from significant sensitivity to precisetiming of the data (exact shift by T for the inphase component) and the exact balance betweenthe inphase and quadriphase carrier signals.

Another modulationscheme that has less fluctuation that QPSK is π 4 QPSK. In this modulation scheme everyother symbol is sent using a rotated (by 45 degrees) constellation. Thus the transitions fromone phase to the next are still instantaneous (without any filtering) but the signal never makesa transition through the origin. Only 45 and 135 degree transitions are possible. This isshown in the constellation below where a little bit of filtering was done.5101520time2530354025303540Data Waveform2 Imag(x(t))10 1 205101520time Figure 74: Data Waveforms for π 4 QPSK VI-87VI-88

If so then each transmission of asignal is carrying k log2 M bits of information. In this case a communication engineer isusually interested in the bit error probability as opposed to the symbol error probability.

Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) The first modulation considered is binary phase shift keying. In this scheme during every bit duration, denoted by T, one of two phases of the carrier is transmitted. These two phases are 180 degrees apart. This makes these two waveform
