"Phase differential coding" INMARSAT and PHASE DIFF correspond to system
standards Inmarsat-M and DVB according to ETS 300 429. The INMARSAT coding
can generally be used for modulation types with 2 bits/symbol, such as QPSK.
Examples
The following examples illustrate how some of the different common coding schemes
combined with a modulation method influence the signal.
Example: Differential coding for QPSK modulation with K = 2 bit/symbol
Decimal display; the value range for modulation symbols is
a
n
= {0, 1, 2, 3}
According to
and for
k = 2
, the recursive coding is defined as
b
n
= (a
n
+ b
–1
)
modulo 4
Depending on the state of a preceding modulation symbol
b
–1
, the coded modulation
symbol
b
n
is obtained, for example, from modulation symbol
a

= 2
as follows:
