Performance of QPSK • Because the upper and lower channels are BPSK receivers the BER is the same as BPSK. • Twice as much data can be sent in the same bandwidth compared to BPSK (QPSK has twice the spectral efficiency with identical energy efficiency). • Each symbol is two bits, Es=2Eb
M-ary Communications • Send multiple, M, waveforms • Choose between one of M symbols instead of 1 or 0. • Waveforms differ by phase, amplitude, and/or frequency • Advantage: Send more information at a time • Disadvantage: Harder to tell the signals apart or more bandwidth needed. • Different M’ary types can be used. Multiamplitude (MASK) +s(t), +3 s(t), +5 s(t),. . ., +(M-1) s(t). Multiple phase (MPSK, QPSK) Multitone (MFSK) Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (combines MASK and MPSK)
M-ary Communications • As M increases, it is harder to make good decisions, more power is used • But, more information is packed into a symbol so data rates can be increased • Generally, higher data rates require more power (shorter distances, better SNR) to get good results • Symbols have different meanings, so what does the probability of error, PE mean? • Bit error probability • Symbol error probability
10 11 01 00 Multi-Amplitude Shift Keying (MASK) • Send multiple amplitudes to denote different signals • Typical signal configuration: • +/- s(t), +/- 3 s(t), ….., +/- (M-1) s(t) 4-ary Amplitude Shift Keying • Each symbol sends 2 bits • Deciding which level is correct gets harder due to fading and noise • Receiver needs better SNR to achieve accuracy Recived Signal
Average Symbol and average Bit Energy • Transmit Rm M-ary symbols/sec (Tm=1/ Rm) • Each pulse of form: k s(t) • Assume bit combination equally likely with probability 1/M • The average symbol energy is, • Each M-ary symbols has log2M bits of information so the bit energy Eb and the symbol enrgy EpMare related by • Same transmission bandwidth, yet more information
t=Tp s(t)+n(t) r(t) s(T-t) H(f) Threshold Detector r(Tp) +kAp+n(Tp) MASK Error Probability • Same optimal receiver with matched filter to s(t) • Total probability of SYMBOL ERROR for M equally likely signals:
Decision Model 10 01 11 00 • Two cases: • (M-1)p(t) – just like bipolar • Interior cases, can have errors on both sides Ap 3Ap -Ap -3Ap
MASK Prob. Of Error • In a matched filter receiver, Ap/sn= 2Ep/N
MASK Prob. Of Error • In a matched filter receiver, Ap/sn= 2Ep/N
Bit Error Rate • Need to be able to compare like things • Symbol error has different cost than a bit error • For MASK
Error Probability Curves • Use codes so that a symbol error gives only a single bit error. • Bandwidth stays same as M increases, good if you are not power-limited. M=16 M=8 M=4 M=2
Im Re x x Im x x x Re x x x x x M-ary PSK (MPSK) • Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) 1: s1(t)= s(t) cos(wct) 0: s0(t)= s(t)cos(wct+p) • M-ary PSK
MPSK • Must be coherent since envelope does not change • Closest estimated phase is selected
Im x x x x x x x x MPSK Performance • Detection error if phase deviates by > p/M • Strong signal approximation Re
MPSK Waterfall Curve • QPSK gives equivalent performance to BPSK. • MPSK is used in modems to improve performance if SNR is high enough.
ri qi Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) • Amplitude-phase shift keying (APK or QAM) • The envelope and phases are,
QAM Performance • Analysis is complex and not treated here. • QAM-16 • Upper Bound for general QAM depends on spectral efficiency relative to bipolar signals,
QAM vs. MPSK MPSK QAM • Very power efficient for high signal configurations, but requires a lot of power • Can give inconsistent results for different bit configurations
Multitone Signaling (MFSK) • M symbols transmitted by M orthogonal pulses of frequencies: • Receiver: • bank of mixers, one at each frequency • Bank of matched filters to each pulse • Higher M means wider bandwidth needed or tones are closer together

MFSK Performance • When waveform 1 is sent, sampler outputs are Ap+ n1, n2 , n3, etc. • Error occurs when nj> Ap+ n1 • Average Probability of error:
MFSK Performance • Channel BW: • BW efficiency decreases, but power efficiency increases • Signals are orthogonal so no crowding in signal space
