Baud Rate, Bit Rate, Bandwidth Efficiency l Remember channel capacity C=Wlog 2 (1+ SNR)> fb

Power Spectrum, ASK l Baseband l Sy(W)=Sx(W) P(W) l ASK: Sy(t)=b Acoswct, Square wave convolute with sinusoid.

FSK Spectrum l FSK: two sinc added together

BPSK Spectrum l BPSK: Sx(W): NRZ. P(t): raised cosine function. Sy(W)= P(W) l Rb baud rate

QPSK Spectrum l Same Rb Narrow BW

Pulse Shaped M-PSK l Different

Bandwidth vs. Power Efficiency l Bandwidth efficiency high, required SNR is high and low power efficiency

QAM efficiencies l l For l =1 PSD for BPSK For l =2 PSD for QPSK, OQPSK … l PSD for complex envelope of the bandpass multilevel signal is same as the PSD of baseband multilevel signals l Same baud rate, higher bit rate. Same bit rate, less bandwidth. But higher power l

Minimum Shift Keying spectra l Continuous phase and constant envelop. So narrow spectrum

GMSK spectral shaping

Coherent Reception l An estimate of the channel phase and attenuation is recovered. It is then possible to reproduce the transmitted signal, and demodulate. It is necessary to have an accurate version of the carrier, otherwise errors are introduced. Carrier recovery methods include:

Coherent BER l PSK – BPSK – MPSK QPSK

Coherent BER performance l ASK l FSK l MSK: less bandwidth but the same BER l MQAM

Non-coherent detection l Non-coherent detection – does not require carrier phase recovery (uses differentially encoded mod. or energy detectors) and hence, has less complexity at the price of higher error rate. l No need in a reference in phase with the received carrier Differentially coherent detection – Differential PSK (DPSK) l l The information bits and previous symbol, determine the phase of the current symbol. Energy detection – Non-coherent detection for orthogonal signals (e. g. M-FSK) Carrier-phase offset causes partial correlation between I and Q braches for each candidate signal. The received energy corresponding to each candidate signal is used for detection.

Comparison of Digital Modulation

Comparison of Digital Modulation

Spectral Efficiencies in practical radios l GSM- Digital Cellular – Data Rate = 270 kb/s, bandwidth = 200 k. Hz – Bandwidth Efficiency = 270/200 =1. 35 bits/sec/Hz – Modulation: Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (FSK with orthogonal frequencies). – “Gaussian” refers to filter response. l IS-54 North American Digital Cellular – Data Rate = 48 kb/s, bandwidth = 30 k. Hz – Bandwidth Efficiency = 48/30 =1. 6 bits/sec/Hz – Modulation: pi/4 DPSK

Modulation Summary l Phase Shift Keying is often used, as it provides a highly bandwidth efficient modulation scheme. l QPSK, modulation is very robust, but requires some form of linear amplification. OQPSK and p/4 -QPSK can be implemented, and reduce the envelope variations of the signal. l High level M-ary schemes (such as 64 -QAM) are very bandwidth efficient, but more susceptible to noise and require linear amplification. l Constant envelope schemes (such as GMSK) can be employed since an efficient, non-linear amplifier can be used. l Coherent reception provides better performance than differential, but requires a more complex receiver.
