V.29, V.32, V.32 bis... THE INS AND OUTS OF MODEMS
NONCOHERENT DETECTION Handling Phase Sync Problems through Differential Encoding
PHASE SYNCHRONISM • Coherent detection requires precise phase sync between the received signal and local oscillator. LPF phase error
DIFFICULTY ESTABLISHING ABSOLUTE PHASE REFERENCE • What is the phase of the RF pulse seen on the scope?
01 11 00 0 10 CONVENTIONAL ENCODING • Take a 4-phase modulation, known as Quadrature Phase Shift Keying(QPSK) 90 180 270
DIFFERENTIAL ENCODING • Although the absolute phase of the incoming signal varies, by as much as 50o, phase transitions across symbols are very stable • Instead of mapping symbols into absolute phases, they are encoded by phase transitions
MAPPING DATA TO PHASE CHANGES: BINARY EXAMPLE • Data is encoded such that a digit 1 causes a 180 phase shift relative to the previous phase but 0 causes no phase shift • Receiver will in turn look for phase changes rather than absolute phases

A BIT OF HISTORY • Early modems designed in the 1950’s used Frequency Shift Keying(FSK) at 300 bps over public switched phone lines • In the 1960’s equalized bandwidth increased to 2400Hz thus allowing bit rates of 2400 bps.
FIRST MILESTONE:V.26 • The first 2400 bps modem was made available in 1962 using 4-PSK (actually, differential PSK, DPSK) • This was followed in 1967by 8-DPSK at 4800 bps • Note that to achieve higher rates, one has to go to larger constellation sizes: BM-ary=Bbinary/logM=4800/3=1600 Hz
BAUD vs. BITS • Baud is the number of symbols/sec. • Bauds and bits are related by logM, where M is the number of modulation levels • R=Rb/logM • Commercial modems are rated by bits/sec even though the box says “baud”
9600 bits/sec: V.29/V.32 • The first 9600 bps modem was introduced in 1976 using 16-QAM constellation • Baudrate=bandwidth=2400 Hz • Requires adaptive channel equalization to reduce intersymbol interference
QAM MODEMS • All modern modulation techniques used in modems are based on the Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) method 16-QAM

L-fold AMBIGUITY • An L-fold rotationally symmetric constellation maps onto itself for a rotation of +/-K.(2pi/L) • The receiver is unable to resolve a number of possible carrier lock positions 01 01 00 11 11 00 10 10
DIFFERENTIAL QAM • Divide the signal space into L equal pie-shaped sectors • For 16-QAM, L=4, differentially Gray encode sectors by 00, 01, 11, 10 • Gray encode the remaining 2 bits within each sector.

ENCODING THE REMAINING 3 BITS • The remaining 3 bits are differentially Gray coded: • Q2 Q3 Q4 Phase Change 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 45 0 1 0 90 0 1 1 135 1 1 1 180 1 1 0 225 1 0 0 270 1 0 1 315
FALL BACK RATE • If conditions demand, transmission falls back to 8-QAM at 7200 bps. Bit Q1 is permanently set to zero limiting the amplitudes. 90 45 135 3 3 180 0 225 315 3 270
V.33 • V.33 is a transmission standard at 14,400 bps. • Modulation is 128-QAM constellation • Carrier frequency is 1800 Hz. • Signaling rate is 2400 baud.
V.34 • Adopted in September 94. • Signaling at 28.8 kbps. • Baud rate at 3200 symbols/sec • Constellation size: 768 points
