The signal constellation diagram is similar to the phasor diagram but the entire phasor is not drawn. The
signal constellation diagram shows only relative positions of the peaks of the phasors. The signal
constellation diagram is also called state space diagram.
In coherent detection the local carrier generated at the receiver is phase locked with
the carrier at the transmitter. Hence it is also called synchronous detection.
In non coherent detection the local carrier generated at the receiver not be phase
Locked with the carrier at the transmitter. It is simple,but it has higher probability of error.
7. What is QPSK? Write the expression for the signal set of QPSK. [M/J-16]
8. Define QPSK. [N/D-09]
QPSK is Quadriphase –shift keying. In QPSK the phase of the carrier takes on one of the four
equally spaced values Such as π/4, 3π/4, 5π/4 and 7π/4.
In QPSK two successive bits in the data sequence are grouped together. This combination of
two bits forms four distinct symbols. When symbols are changed to next symbol the phase of
the carrier is changed by 450
.
9. What is the error probability of MSK & DPSK?
Error probability of MSK: Pe = 1/2erfc√E/No
Error probability of DPSK: Pe = 1/2e -Eb/No
10. What are the drawbacks of binary PSK system? [A/M -12]
It is difficult to detect +b(t) and –b(t) because of squaring in the receiver Problem, of ISI and
inter channel interference are present.

12 A BPSK system makes errors at the average rate of 1000 errors per delay. Data rate is 1 kbps.

6. (i) Discuss QPSK signaling. (ii) Derive the bit error probability due to QPSK receiver. Compare the

7. Discuss QPSK signaling. Derive the bit error probability due to QPSK receiver. [A/M -13]
8. Discuss QPSK signaling. Derive the bit error probability due to QPSK receiver. [M/J -13]
In a sense, QPSK is an expanded version from binary PSK where in a symbol consists of two bits and
two orthonormal basis functions are used. A group of two bits is often called a „dibit‟ . So, four dibits are
possible. Each symbol carries same energy. Let, E: Energy per Symbol and T: Symbol Duration = 2.*
