Constellation diagram – investigate phase transitions

by

The phase transition properties of the different variants of QPSK schemes and MSK, are easily investigated using constellation diagram. Let’s demonstrate how to plot the signal space constellations, for the various modulations used in the transmitter. Typically, in practical applications, the baseband modulated waveforms are passed through a pulse shaping filter for combating the phenomenon … Read more

GMSK implementation and simulation – part 1

by

What’s the need for GMSK Minimum shift keying (MSK) is a special case of binary CPFSK with modulation index . It has features such as constant envelope, compact spectrum and good error rate performance. The fundamental problem with MSK is that the spectrum is not compact enough to satisfy the stringent requirements with respect to … Read more

Differentially encoded BPSK: coherent detection

by

In coherent detection, the receiver derives its demodulation frequency and phase references using a carrier synchronization loop. Such synchronization circuits may introduce phase ambiguity in the detected phase, which could lead to erroneous decisions in the demodulated bits. For example, Costas loop exhibits phase ambiguity of integral multiples of radians at the lock-in points. As … Read more

Passband Simulation Models – Introduction

by

For a given modulation technique, there are two ways to implement the simulation model: passband model and equivalent baseband model. The passband model is also called waveform level simulation model. The waveform level simulation techniques, described in this chapter, are used to represent the physical interactions of the transmitted signal with the channel. In the waveform … Read more
