DIGITAL MODULATION MODE
3-35
Differential QPSK
The vector points are the same as for QPSK (Fig. 3-31).
Differential 8PSK
The vector points are the same as for 8PSK (Fig. 3-32).
Phase offset differential PSK
Phase offset differential PSK uses a
π
/2n phase shift between constellation points on the I,Q
diagram where n is the number of bits per symbol. The phase of the previous state is used as the
reference phase for the next state.
Phase offset
π
/2 differential BPSK
The phase offset
π
/2 differential BPSK constellation is defined below and shown in Fig. 3-34.
