Performance of QPSK
EEE 461 4
Performance of QPSK• Because the upper and lower channels are BPSK receivers the BER is the
same as BPSK.
=Q 2 (Matched Filter Detection)be oEP N
• 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
EEE 461 5
EEE 461 6
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)

EEE 461 7
• 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
M-ary Communications
EEE 461 8
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

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 EpM are related by
• Same transmission bandwidth, yet more information

Bit Error Rate
• Need to be able to compare like things– Symbol error has different cost than a bit error

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.

• MPSK is used in modems to improve performance if SNR is high enough.

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
• Very power efficient for high signal configurations, but requires a lot of power
• Can give inconsistent results for different bit configurations
EEE 461 23
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
