Name of Experiment: 4-PSK Modulation and demodulation
Theory:
4- PSK Modulation
In this modulation, called 4-PSK, or Quadrature PSK (QPSK), the sine carrier takes 4
phase values, separated of 90° and determined by the combinations of bit pairs
(Dibit) of the binary data signal. Fig.981.1 shows an example of correspondence
between Dibit and phase. The data are coded into Dibit by a circuit generating:
► A data signal I (In phase) consisting in voltage levels corresponding to the value of
the first bit of the considered pair, for a duration equal to 2 bit intervals.
► A data signal Q (in Quadrature) consisting in voltage levels corresponding to
the value of the second bit of the pair, for a duration equal to 2 bit intervals.
► In 4-phase PSK differential modulation, the phase of the sine carrier is changed of
0°, 90°, 180°, 270° as function of the pair of data bit (Dibit).
4-PSK demodulation
The demodulation of a 4-PSK signal is made via 2 product demodulators, which
are reached by the 4-PSK signal and 2 separate carriers with the same frequency
used in transmission, and shifted between them of 90°. The carriers are detected by
the 4-PSK signal as described in shows a block diagram of the 4-PSK
demodulator, with the mathematical relations explaining how the demodulation process
occurs as an example. In the example we supposed to have a 4-PSK instant signal
obtained by the sum of the sine waves -Φ0 [-sin(wC·t)] and +Φ90 [cos(wC·t)],
generated by a bit pair "Q=1" and "I=0".

Wave-forms Procedure 4-PSK Modulator:
Power the module
Set the circuit in 4-PSK absolute mode, with 24-bit data source and without
data coding (connect J1b-J3c-J4-J5-J6c; set SW2=Normal, SW3=24_bit,
SW4=1200, SW5=1200/90°, SW6=QPSK
Set a cyclic data sequence 11.00.01.10 (this facilitates the identification of the
phases on the wave-form detected by the oscilloscope), and push START
Connect the oscilloscope to TP4 and TP16 and examine the Data signal and
the 4-PSK signal. Adjust the PHASE to obtain phase shifts of the carrier at
0/90/180/270°. You get wave-forms similar to those of fig.003

Wave-forms Procedure 4-PSK Demodulator:
Power the module
Set the circuit in 4-PSK absolute mode, with 24-bit data source and without
data coding (connect J1b-J3c-J4-J5-J6c; set SW2=Normal, SW3=24_bit,
SW4=1200, SW5=1200/90°, SW6=QPSK, SW7=Squaring Loop, SW8=Di Bit,
ATT=min, NOISE=min, as in fig.004)
Set a cyclic data sequence 11.00.01.10 (this facilitates the identification of
the phases on the wave-form detected by the oscilloscope), and push START
Connect the oscilloscope to TP16 e TP20, to examine the 4-PSK signal
before and after the communication channel. Adjust PHASE to obtain the phase
shifts of the carrier at 0/90/180/270°. Wave-forms are obtained similar to
those of fig.006
See the effect of the communication channel on the 4-PSK signal. As the
communication channel is limited band, the phase transitions of the 4-PSK
output channel are slightly beveled.
