  • Page 53: Digital Communications

    Digital communications The TSG4100A Series generators support two types of modulation: analog and vector. Analog modulation refers to the modulation of a scalar parameter of the carrier signal, such as amplitude, frequency, or phase. Vector modulation refers to the modulation of the vector characteristics (amplitude and phase) of the carrier signal.

  • Page 54: Vector Modulation

    Digital communications Vector modulation All TSG4100A Series generators include standard support for I/Q modulation on RF carriers between 400 MHz and 6.075 GHz. In addition, they feature a dual, arbitrary waveform generator operating at 125 MHz for baseband signal generation. The generator has built-in support for the most common vector modulation schemes: ASK, QPSK, DQPSK, π/4 DQPSK, 8PSK, FSK, CPM.
  • Page 55 Digital communications The transmission of digital data is straight forward. Like analog communication, information is encoded in a modulation of the amplitude, frequency, or phase of an RF carrier. However, unlike analog communications, only a finite number of modulated states are allowed. In binary phase shift key (BPSK) modulation, for example, only two phases are allowed.
  • Page 56 Digital communications Susceptibility to noise As mentioned previously, digital constellations have a finite number of allowed states. A BPSK constellation, for instance, has only two allowed states: 0° and 180°. This property greatly enhances the robustness of digital communications in the face of noise.
  • Page 57 Digital communications Pulse shaping filters Up to now, we have emphasized the fact that digital constellations have a finite number of allowed states, but we have not discussed how the signal transitions from one allowed state to the next. The simplest method would be to jump as quickly as possible from state to state.
  • Page 58 Digital communications where sinc(x) = sin(πx)/(πx). The following figure shows the impulse response of the raised cosine filter for α = 1.0, α = 0.5, and α = 0.3. Notice that as α is reduced the impulse response lasts longer and extends over many symbols. Normally, this behavior would cause intersymbol interference.
  • Page 59 Digital communications where all parameters have the same definitions as in the raised cosine filter. The previous graph shows the impulse response of the root-raised cosine filter for α = 1.0, α = 0.5, and α = 0.3. The response is qualitatively similar to the raised cosine response, but it does not generally have zero ISI.
  • Page 60 Digital communications with BT is the 3 dB bandwidth-symbol time product, a dimensionless factor similar to α in raised cosine filters that controls the bandwidth of the filter. The following graph shows the impulse response of the Gaussian filter for BT = 1.0, BT = 0.5, and BT = 0.3.

  • Page 61: Modulation Techniques

    Digital communications Figure 1: Error vector magnitude Error vectors are helpful in characterizing the quality of a transmitted signal. They are a natural measure of the noise in a communications channel, but they can also help identify defects of a transmitter, such as amplifier compression or an IQ gain imbalance.

  • Page 62: Figure 2: Ask Constellations

    Digital communications Figure 2: ASK constellations FSK (frequency shift FSK is a modulation technique in which digital symbols are encoded in the frequency of the RF. The amplitude of the carrier is held constant. In the SG390 keying) series generators FSK is implemented using an internal rate generator followed by cosine/sine tables to convert a phase into its respective I and Q components.

  • Page 63: Table 8: Vector Phase Modulation Waveforms

    Digital communications PSK (phase shift keying) PSK is a modulation technique in which digital symbols are encoded in the phase of the RF. The amplitude of each constellation point is the same. In spite of this, the modulation is not constant amplitude as it is for FSK. The pulse shaping filters create amplitude variations as the modulation traverses from symbol to symbol, creating waveforms very similar to QAM.

  • Page 64: Figure 4: Four Basic Psk Constellations

    Digital communications Basic PSK constellations. The four basic PSK constellations are summarized in the following image. Note that the QPSK constellation follows a different mapping pattern than the 8 PSK and 16 PSK constellations. Since this constellation is identical to the QAM constellation of the same size, it uses the same mapping. Figure 4: Four basic PSK constellations CPM (continuous phase CPM is a form of FSK modulation.

    Digital communications where T is the symbol period and N denotes the number of bits per symbol. Phase trellis diagram. As mentioned previously, CPM modulation is a form of continuous phase FSK. However, it can also be viewed as a special form of offset phase shift keying, OPSK, with sinusoidal symbol weighting.

  • Page 66: Figure 6: Constellations For Qam 4 Through Qam 256

    Digital communications Figure 6: Constellations for QAM 4 through QAM 256 MSK and GMSK Minimum shift keying (MSK) and Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) are perhaps the two most well known examples of CPM modulation. MSK is binary CPM with a modulation index, h = 1/2, and a rectangular filter. It derives its name from the fact that the two frequencies of the modulation have the minimum frequency separation allowed for orthogonal detection.

  • Page 67: Figure 7: Vsb Symbol Constellations

    Digital communications VSB (vestigial sideband) Vestigial sideband modulation (VSB) is a form of amplitude modulation used in the over-the-air transmission of digital television (DTV) in the United States. Amplitude modulation normally creates two sidebands: an upper sideband and a lower sideband. However, the information content in the upper sideband is identical to that of the lower sideband.

  • Page 68: Specialized Psk Constellations

    Digital communications External IQ modulation The instrument can be modulated through an external source with bandwidths above 100 MHz. Rear panel BNC inputs are available as I and Q signal inputs. The inputs are terminated into 50 Ω with full-scale amplitude of 0.5 V. Note that an external vector modulation option is available for ASK, PSK, and QAM modulation modes.

  • Page 69: Figure 9: Offset Modulation Prevents Transitions Through The Origin

    Digital communications Offset or staggered This type of modulation addresses transmitter problems in the communication design. RF amplifiers can be made to operate more efficiently if the signals they modulation are amplifying are nearly constant in amplitude. This is especially important for satellites deployed in space.

  • Page 70: Figure 10: Π/4 Dqpsk Uses Differential Encoding And A Rotating Constellation

    Digital communications Figure 10: π/4 DQPSK uses differential encoding and a rotating constellation. Like DQPSK, π/4 DQPSK employs differential encoding, which means information is encoded in the change in phase, rather than the phase itself. However, the constellation for π/4 DQPSK rotates by 45° or π/4 radians after each symbol transmission.

  • Page 71: Modulation Functions

    Digital communications Modulation functions The modulation functions available for the vector function subtype are similar to those offered for analog modulation: sine, ramp, triangle, square, noise, user, and external. For the digital modulation subtypes, the available waveforms include: PRBS data, pattern data, and user data. PRBS data This instrument can generate pseudo random binary sequences (PRBS) for use with digital modulation subtypes.
  • Page 72 Digital communications Table 10: PRBS generating polynomials (cont.) Length Polynomial Pattern data Digital modulation subtypes can also be modulated with 16-bit patterns. The current pattern is shown as hexadecimal digits. Once selected, the pattern may be edited from the front panel by modifying each hexadecimal digit. The default pattern is the binary sequence 01010101 01010101, which corresponds to the hexadecimal value 0x5555.
