If differential encoding is enabled, then the results are
described below for each modulation type.
BPSK
In BPSK mode, the next output bit is found by XORing
the input bit with the current output bit. The result is a
180 degree phase change if the output is high and
0Êdegrees if the output is low.
QPSK
In QPSK mode, the next output dibit is found by
XORing the input dibit with the current output dibit.
Table 40 shows the results of the differential encoding
performed for QPSK modulation and the resulting
phase shift. In the table, I = I
1
= I
0
and Q = Q
1
= Q
0
.
16
QAM
In 16QAM mode, the differential encoding algorithm is
the same as in QPSK. Only the two MSBÕs, I
1
**
and Q
1
**
are encoded. The output bits I
0
*
and Q
0
*
are set equal to
the inputs bits I
0
**
and Q
0

.
