Phase-Shift Keying M-ary Phase-Shift Keying
Phase shift occurs at each bit transition We’re not limited to using only 2 phases
Binary Phase-Shift Keying (BPSK): A and f are fixed, 1 and 0 are Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (QPSK): each phase
different phases (ϕ) of the signal, e.g., start at 180º = 0, at 0º = 1
of the signal represents 2 bits, giving 4 values
Differential Phase-Shift Keying (DPSK): phase difference is relative
to previous bit, e.g., signal shifted by 90º = 0, by 270º = 1
Data signal vd(t)
DPSK:
Halsall
• simpler to implement
Carrier vC(t)
• but more prone to
errors
• 8PSK: each phase represents 3 bits, giving 8 values
Phase coherent
• reducing phase differences makes the signal more
vPSK (t) prone to noise and interference
Differential v’PSK(t)
Differential QPSK (DQPSK): phase difference is

Q
Zero Crossing
At 0, there’s no voltage present:
• when signal is amplified, zero crossing
causes artifacts (e.g., audio clicks) in
the non-zero part of the output signal
when gain is abruptly switched between gain settings
• when signal is filtered, voltage needs time to ramp up/down,
0010 0000
zero crossing causes amplitude change
• in graphics rendering, zero crossing shows up as black lines
0011 0001
• in image processing, zero crossing usually marks boundary/edge
of features don’t want extraneous zero crossings

OQPSK
QPSK and Zero Crossing
Offset QPSK (OQPSK) a.k.a. Staggered QPSK (SQPSK):
In QPSK, carrier signal can phase shift by 180º, limit phase shift to 90º every half-symbol time (T ) (by
encountering zero crossing, causing carrier time-shifting the Q component) I

GMSK Wireless Link Characteristics
Minimum Shift Keying (MSK): Differences from wired link ….
OQPSK with half-cycle sinusoid
component signal, instead of Decreasing signal strength:
rectangular pulse, to make the • radio signal disperses as it travels
greater distances
phase change linear
• and attenuates as it propagates
• result turns out to be equivalent to
through matter (path loss)
FSK with only 1 bit/symbol
Interference from other sources
• standardized wireless network frequencies (e.g., 2.4 GHz)
shared by other devices (e.g., cordless phones)
Gaussian MSK (GMSK): • electromagnetic noise
MSK output passed through a Gaussian filter, resulting in (e.g., microwave oven,
narrower bandwidth requirement; used in GSM motors) interferes as well
[Langton, HP]
• radio signal reflects off objects, walls, ground power → increased SNR → 10-2
