Page 258: I/Q Modulation
Appendixes Appendix A Explanations of Terms Where, U1 is the valid value of the fundamental wave, and U2, U3,... are the valid values of harmonics. They are also called the total harmonic distortion (THD) and are usually measured at a given output power and a specific signal frequency.
Page 259: Channel Coding
Appendixes Appendix A Explanations of Terms Hybrid coding, namely an algorithm that synthesizes waveform coding and parameter coding. This not only reduces the code rate, but also improves the naturalness of synthesized speech. It is a source coding method commonly used in wireless communications. For example, the RPE-LTP algorithm used in the GSM system and the CELP algorithm used in CDMA.
Page 260: Frequency Band Utilization Of Digital Modulation Signals
Appendixes Appendix A Explanations of Terms synchronization. Frequency band utilization of digital modulation signals It is the rate of transmission of information data, but it is unrelated with the modulation method. Different communication systems can use different modulation methods to transmit data services with the same rate, so the bit rate cannot determine the frequency bandwidth occupied by the modulation signals.
Page 261: Quadrature Phase Shift Keying Qpsk
Appendixes Appendix A Explanations of Terms Attached Figure 2 BPSK Diagram Quadrature phase shift keying QPSK The most common digital modulation is quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK). Quadrature phase shift modulation uses four different phase differences of the carriers to characterize the input digital information.
Page 262: Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Qam
Appendixes Appendix A Explanations of Terms Attached Figure 4 8PSK Diagram Quadrature amplitude modulation QAM QAM performs suppressed carrier double-sideband amplitude modulation for two quadrature carriers with the same frequency by using two independent baseband signals and realizes transmission of two parallel digital information by using the orthogonality of the frequency spectrum of such modulated signals in the same bandwidth.
Page 263: Qpsk Modulation Method
Appendixes Appendix A Explanations of Terms There is always a phase change for each symbol due to the use of two QPSK constellations with 45° offsets. This avoids a 180° phase change and the trace of its vector diagram does not pass zero point. Attached Figure 7 Synthesized Constellation QPSK modulation method QPSK modulation I and Q bit streams are transformed at the same time, namely the two symbol...
Page 264: 3Π/8 Rotation 8Psk Modulation (Edge)
Appendixes Appendix A Explanations of Terms It can be seen from the equation that the frequency offset Δf is equal to one quarter of the symbol rate l/Tb, namely the frequency difference 2Δf is equal to half the symbol rate. This special selection is called minimum shift keying (MSK).
Page 265: Nyquist Filter Coefficient Α
Appendixes Appendix A Explanations of Terms an ideal communication channel. That is to say, this Nyquist filter can limit the signal bandwidth and eliminate interference among the symbols. It can be seen from the above figure that this raised cosine filter complying with the Nyquist criterion has zero symbol energy at the time of the adjacent bit t in the time domain impulse response, therefore it will not cause any interference among symbols.
