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

Raised cosine pulse shaping

by

Pulse-shaping Lab path:Nyquist zero-ISI → Raised cosine → Matched filter + SRRC → Eye diagramsTool: RRC filter & bandwidth calculator As mentioned earlier, the shortcomings of the sinc pulse can be addressed by making the transition band in the frequency domain less abrupt. The raised-cosine (RC) pulse comes with an adjustable transition band roll-off parameter … Read more
