Differentially encoded BPSK: coherent detection

In coherent detection, the receiver derives its demodulation frequency and phase references using a carrier synchronization loop. Such synchronization circuits may introduce phase ambiguity $latex \phi = \hat{\theta}-\theta $ 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 $latex … Read more

BPSK Bit Error Rate in AWGN: Derivation and Simulation

BPSK Lab path:Derive BER (theory) → AWGN noise model → BER simulation (Python & Matlab)Tools: BER vs Eb/N0 calculator · Shannon capacity The BPSK bit error rate for an optimum receiver in AWGN follows from a simple decision-threshold argument. This post derives it step by step, then checks the result with a Monte Carlo simulation … Read more
