Unlike QPSK and OQPSK schemes, π/4-QPSK can be differentially encoded, therefore enabling the use of both coherent and non-coherent demodulation techniques. Π/4-QPSK preserves the constant envelope property better than QPSK and OQPSK. Therefore, phase transitions of i0° and 180° are eliminated. Switching between the two constellations every successive bit ensures that the phase changes are confined to odd multiples of 45°. In π/4-QPSK, the signaling points of the modulated signals are chosen from two QPSK constellations that are just shifted π/4 radians (45°) with respect to each other.
Further improvements to OQPSK can be obtained if the phase transitions are avoided altogether – as evident from continuous modulation schemes like Minimum Shift Keying (MSK) technique. Additionally, OQPSK performs better than QPSK when subjected to phase jitters. Unlike QPSK, the spectrum of OQPSK remains unchanged when band-limited. This eliminates 180° phase shifts all together and the phase changes are limited to 0° or i0° every bit period.Įlimination of 180° phase shifts in OQPSK offers many advantages over QPSK. In OQPSK, the orthogonal components cannot change states at the same time, this is because the components change state only at the middle of the symbol periods (due to the half symbol offset in the Q-channel). Offset QPSK is essentially same as QPSK, except that the orthogonal carrier signals on the I-channel and the Q-channel are staggered (one of them is delayed in time). QPSK modulation has several variants, three such flavors among them are: Offset QPSK, π/4-QPSK and π/4-DQPSK.
bits-in-error – will be same as that of conventional BPSK. Therefore, the resulting performance curves for QPSK – Vs. A QPSK signal essentially combines two orthogonally modulated BPSK signals.

The performance simulation for the QPSK transmitter-receiver combination was also coded in the code given above and the resulting bit-error rate performance curve will be same as that of conventional BPSK. This configuration gives integral number of carrier cycles for one symbol duration.įigure 4: Simulated QPSK waveforms at the transmitter side Note: The oversampling rate for the simulation is chosen as, where is the given carrier frequency and is the sampling frequency satisfying Nyquist sampling theorem with respect to the carrier frequency ( ).
QPSK modulated signal is obtained by adding the signal from both in-phase and quadrature arms. The signal on the in-phase arm is then multiplied by and the signal on the quadrature arm is multiplied by. After oversampling and pulse shaping, it is intuitively clear that the signal on the I-arm and Q-arm are BPSK signals with symbol duration. Therefore, if the QPSK symbols were transmitted at same rate as BPSK, it is clear that QPSK sends twice as much data as BPSK does. For BPSK modulation the symbol duration for each bit is same as bit duration, but for QPSK the symbol duration is twice the bit duration. The timing diagram for BPSK and QPSK modulation is shown in Figure 2. S = iChannel + qChannel %QPSK modulated baseband signal I=repmat(I,1,L).'

Each stream of odd bits (quadrature arm) and even bits (in-phase arm) are converted to NRZ format in a parallel manner. In this implementation, a splitter separates the odd and even bits from the generated information bits. The QPSK transmitter, shown in Figure 1, is implemented as a matlab function qpsk_mod.
