Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This research considers a particular form of M-ary signaling called 2 FSK/QPSK. It is a unique way of combining two modulation methods to produce an 8-ary signaling technique whose noise performance is shown to be significantly better than 8-PSK. A transmitter and receiver for 2 FSK/QPSK is designed, built tested and analyzed. Theoretical and experimental results are compared using a plot of probability of bit error versus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Known theoretical performance of 8-PSK is used for comparison. Results show a 5 dB theoretical improvement in SNR and a 3 dB experimental improvement of 2 FSK/QPSK relative to 8-PSK. Keywords include: Quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), Frequency shift keying (FSK), 8-PSK, and M-ary signaling.
