Coherent Binary Modulation Techniques

Modulation is the process by which an information signal is converted to a sinusoidal waveform by


varying the amplitude, frequency,or phase or a combination of them of an RF carrier.
The general form the the carrier wave is
s(t) = A(t) cos(t)

(1)

where A(t) is the time varying amplitude and (t) is the time varying angle.
s(t) = A(t) cos[t + (t)]

(2)

where is the angular frequency of the carrier and (t) is the phase. The frequency f in in hertz and
is in radians per second and are related by = 2f .
The carrier wave amplitude coefficient
The general form the the carrier wave is
s(t) = A cost

(3)

where A is peak value of the waveform. The peak value of the sinusoidal waveform equals
root-mean square(rms) value. Hence
q

s(t) = 2Arms cost = 2A2rms cost


p

2 times the

2A2rms represents the average power P normalized to 1. Therefore s(t)is

s(t) = 2P coswt

(4)

(5)

Replacing P watts by E joules/T seconds i.e., P = E /T

(6)

The energy of a received signal is the key parameter in determining the error performance of the
detection process, hence it is often more convenient to use the amplitude notation because it facilitates
solving the probability of error Pe as a function of signal energy.

Noise in Communication Systems

Noise in Communication Systems

The term noise refers to unwanted electrical signals that are always present in electrical systems.
The noise arises from a variety of sources, both man made and natural.
The man made noise includes such sources as spark-plug ignition noise, switching transients, and other
radiating electromagnetic signals.
Natural noise includes such elements as the atmosphere, the sun and other galactic sources,thermal
noise or Johnson noise.
Noise can be eliminated through filtering, shielding, the choice of modulation and the selection of an
optimum receiver.
Thermal noise is caused by the thermal motion of electrons in all dissipative components like resistors,
wires and so on.
Thermal noise cannot be eliminated due to the same electrons are responsible for electrical conduction.
The thermal noise can be described by a zero mean Gaussian random process.
A Gaussian process n(t) is a random function whose value n at any arbitrary time t is statically
characterized by the Gaussian probability density function.

Gaussian, Normal distribution

Gaussian, Normal distribution


In probability theory, the normal (or Gaussian) distribution is a continuous probability distribution,
defined by the formula:
(x)2
1

2 2
f (x) = e
2
The parameter is the mean or expectation of the distribution (and also its median and mode). The
parameter is its standard deviation; its variance is therefore 2 .
A random variable with a Gaussian distribution is said to be normally distributed and is called a normal
deviate.
If = 0 and = 1, the distribution is called the standard normal distribution or the unit normal
distribution, and a random variable with that distribution is a standard normal deviate.
(x)2

f (x) = e

Many things closely follow a Normal Distribution:

Heights of people
Size of things produced by machines
Errors in measurements

White Noise

White Noise
In signal processing, white noise is a random signal with a flat (constant) power spectral density (PSD).
White noise draws its name from white light, which is commonly (but incorrectly) assumed to have a
flat spectral power density over the visible band.
The thermal noise is that its PSD is same for all frequencies from dc to 1012 Hz.
The thermal noise is assumed that its PSD Gn (f )
Gn (f ) = N0 /2

watts/hertz

(7)

where the factor 2 is included to indicate that Gn (f ) is two sided PSD.


The autocorrelation function of white noise is given by the inverse Fourier transform of the PSD
Rn ( ) = F {Gn (f )} =

N0
( )
2

(8)

The autocorrelation of white noise is a delta function weighted by the factor N0 /2 and occurring at
= 0 as shown in Figure 3.
Rn ( ) = 0 for 6= 0 that is any two different samples of white noise no matter how close together in
time they are uncorrelated.

Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK)

The carrier is shifted in phase according to the input data stream, frequency and amplitude of the
carrier are constant.
Binary PSK (BPSK): two phases (0o 180o ) represent two binary digits:

Error Performance for Digital Modulation

Probability of Bit Error


An important measure of performance used for comparing digital modulation schemes is the probability
of error Pe .
The probability of the detector making an incorrect decision is termed the probability of symbol error Pe .
It is often convenient to specify system performance by the probability of bit error Pb even when
decisions are made on the basis of symbols for which M > 2.

Probability of Error

Define a new Gaussian random variable L whose sample value l is


l = x1 x2
The mean value of the random variable L depends on which binary symbol was transmitted. When symbol 1
was transmitted
the Gaussian random variables X1 and X2 and whose sample values x1 and x2 have mean

equal to Eb and zero. The conditional mean value of the random variable L given that symbol 1 was
transmitted is given by
p
E [L|1] = E [X1 |1] E [X2 |1] = Eb
Similarly the conditional mean value of the random variable L given that symbol 0 was transmitted is given by
p
E [L|0] = E [X1 |0] E [X2 |0] = Eb =

Random variables are statistically independent, each with a variance equal to N0 /2


Var [L] = Var [X1 ] + Var [X2 ] = N0 /2 + N0 /2 = N0

Suppose when symbol 0 was transmitted, then the conditional value of the conditional probability density
function of the random variable L equals

In order to maintain the same average errorrate as in coherent BPSK system, the BFSK system should have
twice the bit energy to noisedensity ratio, Eb /2N0 . In coherent BPSK
system the distance between the two
message points is equal to 2 Eb whereas in coherent BPSK system it is 2Eb . Larger the distance between
the message points smaller is the average probability of error Pe .

The important goal in design of a digital communication system is to provide low probability of error and
efficient utilization of channel bandwidth.
In QPSK, the phase of the carrier takes on one of four equally spaced values, such as /4, 3/4 5/4 7/4

A constellation diagram helps us to define the


amplitude and phase of a signal when we are
using two carriers, one in quadrature of the
other.
The X-axis represents the in-phase carrier and
the Y-axis represents quadrature phase carrier.

The performance of the FSK receiver is improved by the proper utilization of phase. Continuous-phase
frequency-shift-keying (CPFSK) signal is defined as follows:
q
2Eb

cos[2f1 t + (0)]
q Tb
s(t) =
2Eb

T cos[2f2 t + (0)]

for symbol 1
for symbol 2

Eb is the transmitted signal energy per bit and Tb is the bit duration, phase (0) is the value of the phase at
time t = 0, depends on the past history of the modulation process. Frequencies f1 and f2 represent the symbol
1 and 0 respectively.
The conventional form of an angle modulated wave as follows:
s
s(t) =

2Eb
cos[2fc t + (t)]
Tb

The nominal frequency fc is chosen as the arithmetic mean of the two frequencies f1 and f2
fc =

(f1 + f2 )

To send symbol 1, phase is increased by h radians whereas to


send symbol 0, phase is reduced by h radians. The phase is an
odd or even multiple of h radians at odd or even multiples of the
bit duration Tb respectively. Since all phase shifts are modulo-2
, the case of h = 1/2 is of special case in which phase can take
on only two values /2 at odd multiples of Tb and only the two
values 0 and at even multiples of Tb . This graph is called a phase
trellis.

equation h = Tb (f1 f2 ) with h = 1/2, then the frequency deviation equals the half the bit rate. This is the
minimum frequency spacing in FSK signals to make f1 and f2 orthogonal to each other. For this reason
CPFSK signal with deviation ratio of one-half is referred to as minimum shift keying (MSK).The phase states
of (0) and (Tb ) can each assume one of two possible values, and has any four possible combinations and are
as follows:
1 The phase (0) = 0 and (Tb ) = /2 to transmit symbol 1.

Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) is noncoherent version of the binary PSK system. DPSK eliminates
need for a coherent reference signal at the receiver. It consists of differential encoder and phase shift keying.
To transmit the symbol 0 the phase is advanced the current signal waveform by 180 and to send symbol 1 the
phase of the current signal waveform is unchanged. The differentially encoded sequence dk is generated by

The error rates for all the systems decease monotonically with increasing values of Eb /N0 .
Coherent PSK produces a smaller error rate than any of other systems.
Coherent PSK and DPSK require an Eb /N0 that is 3 dB less than the corresponding values for
conventional coherent FSK and non coherent FSK respectively to realize the same error rate.
At high values of Eb /N0 DPSK and noncoherent FSK perform almost as well as coherent PSK and
conventional coherent FSK, respectively, for the same bit rate and signal energy per bit

In QPSK two orthogonal carriers 2/T cos(2fc t) and 2/T sin(2fc t) are used, where the carrier
frequency fc is an integral multiple of the symbol rate 1/T with the result that two independent bit
streams can transmitted and subsequently detected in the receiver. At high values of Eb /N0 coherently
detected binary PSK and QPSK have about the same error rate performance for the same value of
Eb /N0 .

In MSK two orthogonal carriers 2/Tb cos(2fc t) and 2/Tb sin(2fc t) are modulated by the two
antipodal symbol shaping pulses cos(t/Tb ) and sin(t/Tb ) respectively over 2Tb intervals.
Correspondingly, the receiver uses a coherent phase decoding process over two successive bit intervals to
recover the original bit stream. MSK has the same error rate performance as QPSK.

Introduction

Power Spectra
The description given by s(t) for a pass-band signal contains the definitions of ASK, PSK and FSK
signals,depending on the way in which the in-phase component sI (t) and the Quadrature component
sQ (t) are defined.
The analysis of these kind of signals may be simplified by using complex notation.The signal s(t) may
be expressed as
s(t) = sI (t) cos(2fc t) sQ (t) sin(2fc t)
= Re[
s (t) exp(j2fc t)]
Also we have

s (t) = SI (t) + jSQ (t)


And
exp(j2fc t) = cos(2fc t) + j sin(2fc t)
is called the complex envelop of the band-pass signal s(t).
The signal s(t)
The signals SI (t) ,SQ (t) and
s (t) are all low pass signals.They are uniquely defined in terms of the
band-pass signal s(t) and the carrier frequency fc provided that the half-bandwidth of s(t) is less than
the carrier frequency fc .

Introduction

Let SB (f ) denote the power spectral density of the complex envelope


s (t), where SB (f ) is referred to as
the baseband power spectral density.
The power spectral density SS (f ), of the original band-pass signal s(t) is a frequency shifted version of
SB (f ), except the scaling factor shown as
SS (f ) =

1
[SB (f fc ) + SB (f + fc )]

Since
s (t) is a low-pass signal,the calculation of SB (f ) would be simpler than the calculation of
SS (f ).Therefore it is sufficient to evaluate the baseband power spectral density SB (f ).

Bandwidth Efficiency
The channel bandwidth and transmitted power are two primary communication resources which provides
spectral efficiency.
Spectral (bandwidth) efficiency is defined as the ratio of data rate to the channel bandwidth.
It is measured in units of bits per second per hertz.
The Bandwidth Efficiency is expressed as =

bits/s/Hz

where Rb is the data rate and B is the channel bandwidth.


Bandwidth Efficiency of M-ary PSK Siginals

Synchronization

In coherent reception the receiver must be synchronous to the transmitter [1, 3, 4]


Two sequences of events (Tx and Rx) are synchronous relative to each other when the events in one
sequence and the corresponding events in the other occur simultaneously.
The process of making a situation synchronous, and maintaining it in this condition is called
synchronization.
To demodulate the received signal the following two basic modes of synchronization are necessary:
1

Carrier Synchronization: Knowledge of both frequency and phase of the carrier


is necessary. The estimation of frequency and phase is called carrier recovery
or carrier synchronization.
Symbol Synchronization: The receiver has to know the starting and finishing
times of the individual symbols. The estimation of these times is called clock
recovery or symbol synchronization.

Carrier Synchronization

Carrier Synchronization:
Coast loop method is used to recover the carrier frequency.
The loop consists of two paths, one in-phase and the other referred to as quadrature that are coupled
together via common voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to form a negative feedback.
VCO is a circuit module that oscillates at a controlled frequency .
The Oscillating Frequency is controlled using Voltage VControl .
When synchronization attains the demodulated output appears at the output of in-phase path, and the
output is zero at quadrature path under ideal condition.

If VI and Vout are out of phase (unlocked), then the PD module detects the

The control signal slows down or speeds up the VCO module; hence, the phase

Symbol Synchronization

Symbol Synchronization:
Symbol synchronization is achieved by transmitting clock along with the data-bearing signal in the
multiplexed form.
At the receiver the clock is extracted by filtering of the modulated waveform.
This approach minimizes the time required for carrier/clock recovery but the fraction of the transmitted
power is allocated to transmit the clock.
In another approach the clock is extracted by processing demodulated baseband waveforms, thereby avoiding
any wastage of transmitted power.
Consider a rectangular pulse defined by

g (t) =

a

g (t )

0tT
Otherwise

The output of the filter attains its peak value at time


t = T and that it is symmetric about this point.

Figure 55:

Rectangular pulse g(t).

From the figure it shows that the proper time to


sample the matched filter output is at t = T .
Suppose the matched filter output is sampled early at
t = T 0 T or late at t = T + 0 T .
The absolute values of the two samples will be equal
and smaller than the peak value at t = T .

The error signal, the difference between the absolute


values of the two samples is zero, and the proper
sampling time is the midpoint between t = T 0 T
and t = T + 0 T .
This special condition is viewed as an equilibrium
point, in that if it is deviated from it the error
becomes nonzero.

Symbol Synchronization

The early-late gate symbol synchronizer consists of correlators and these correlators will integrate over a
full symbol interval T , with one starting 0 T early relative to the transition time estimate and the
other starting 0 T late.
An error signal e(kT ), is generated by taking the difference between the actual transition times t(kT )
and their local estimate t (kT ), the error signal is zero when no transition occurs at t(kT ), otherwise it
is linearly proportional to irrespective of the polarity of .
The error signal is low pass filtered and then applied to a voltage controlled oscillator that controls
(symbol waveform generator) the charging and discharging instants of the correlators.
The instantaneous frequency of the local clock is advanced or retarded in an iterative manner until the
equilibrium point is reached, and symbol synchronization is thereby established.

A=

44.9352 1010 104 = 6.7034 10

(14)

Similarly we find that when the rate is 105 bps and 106 bps, the required amplitude of the signal is
A = 2.12 102 and A = 6.703 102 A respectively.

Problem 7.47
Consider a digital communication system that transmits information via QAM over a voice-band telephone
channel at a rate 2400 symbols/second. The additive noise is assumed to be white and Gaussian.
1

Determine the [hi No required to achieve an error probability of 105 at 4800 bps.

Repeat (1) for a bit rate of 9600 bps.

Repeat (1) for a bit rate of 19,200 bps.

What conclusions do you reach from these results.

1) The number of bits per symbol is


k =

Thus, a 4-QAM constellation is used for transmission. The probability of error for an M-ary QAM system with
M = 2k, is
