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
