QPSK MODULATION • INTRODUCTION • WHY QPSK MODULATION? REMOTE SENSING PURPOSES X BAND 8 GHz to 12 GHz
THEORY OF THE MODULATORCIRCUIT ELEMENTS • MICROWAVE COUPLERS POWER DIVISION PHASE SHIFT S PARAMETERS • HIGH SPEED MESFET SWITCHES
MICROWAVE COUPLERS • WILKINSON DIVIDER • THREE PORT ELEMENT EQUAL POWER DIVISION S21 = S31= -3dB NO PHASE SHIFT S21= S31
BRANCH LINE HYBRID COUPLER • FOUR PORT ELEMENT EQUAL POWER DIVISION S21 = S31= -3dB QUADRATURE PHASE SHIFT S31- S21 = 90
RAT RACE COUPLER • FOUR PORT ELEMENT EQUAL POWER DIVISION S23=S13= -3dB 180 PHASE SHIFT S23- S13= 180
TESTING AND MEASUREMENT • DATA RATE = 160Mbps • PHASE IMBALANCE = 0.4 • AMPLITUDE IMBALANCE < 1% • EVM = 0.75%
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS • AMPLITUDE IMBALANCE • PHASE IMBALANCE • ERROR VECTOR MAGNITUDE
EVM OF MODULATOR WITH AMPLIFIERS • EVM OF THE TRANSMITTER < 8%
EVM vs. BER • To keep the value of EVM minimum we need S parameters to be as optimized as possible.
EVM and SNR • Lesser EVM will give greater SNR and lesser Probability of Error
