4.5.1 Detection of Differential PSK

• DPSK refers to a detection scheme classified as noncoherent because it does not require a reference in phase with the received carrier

• Therefore, if the transmitted waveform is:

• The received signal can be characterized by:

α is an arbitrary constant ; assumed to be uniform random variable distributed between 0 and 2π

• If we assume that α varies slowly relative to two period times (2T), the phase difference between two successive waveforms θj(T1)and θk(T2) is independent of α;

• Basis for differentially coherent detection of differentially encoded PSK (DPSK) is:

– Carrier phase of previous signaling interval is used as phase reference for demodulation

– It requires differentially encoded message signal at the transmitter since information is carried by difference in phase between successive waveforms

4.5.2 Detection of Binary PSK• Binary DPSK is regarded as the non-coherent version of binary PSK

• Data is encoded in the phase shift between successive symbols rather than the actual value of the phase

• The Basic Idea of DPSK

– If ak = 0, then shift carrier phase by 180o

– If ak = 1, then no shift in carrier phase

• In DPSK, the carrier phase of the previous data bit can be used as a reference

2-bits in error

Drawback of Differential Encoding/Decoding:

• When single bit errors occur in the received data sequence due to noise, they tend to propagate as double bit errors

• Since the decoder is comparing the logic state of current bit with previous bit, and if the previous bit is in error, the next decoded bit will also be in error

Differentially Encoded PSK (DEPSK) Modulation Different from DPSK, as ak encoded differentially but coherently detected The encoded sequence {dk} is used to phase-shift a carrier with phase

angle 0 and π representing symbols 1 and 0 respectively

Method for the detection of DEPSK Coherent detection of PSK followed by differential decoder (dk is

equivalent to rk in the previous slides)

This scheme is used to account for the sometimes 180 phase shift by PLL 10

4.8 M-ary Signaling and Performance

4.8.1 Ideal Probability of Bit Error Performance

• Typical probability of error versus Eb/N0 curve has a waterfall like shape

• The ideal curve displays the characteristics as the Shannon limit

• The limit represents the threshold Eb/N0 below which reliable communication cannot be maintained

• Ideal Curve:

– For all values of Eb/N0 above the Shannon limit of -1.6db, PB is zero

– Once Eb/N0 is reduced below the Shannon limit, PB

degrades to worse case value of ½ 20

Es=Eb(log2M) : is the energy per symbol

M=2k : is the size of the symbol set
