An Exemplified Ideal Digital Communication Problem – Phase Shift Keying o Assume that the An Exemplified Ideal Digital Communication Problem – Phase Shift Keying o Assume that the local carrier (at the receiver end) is exactly the same as the transmitter carrier. o Assume that the correlator is completely synchronized with the transmitter. n So the integration inside correlator covers a complete message signal m(t). In other words, it will not happen that the integration inside correlator covers 80% of the current m(t) but 20% of the previous m(t). © Po-Ning Chen@ece. nctu Background 89

An Exemplified Ideal Digital Communication Problem – Phase Shift Keying o Some interesting issues An Exemplified Ideal Digital Communication Problem – Phase Shift Keying o Some interesting issues to consider: n What if the local carrier does not equal the transmitter carrier. n What if fc is not a multiple of 1/T. n What if the receiver does not synchronize with the transmitter? n What is the BER of this system? © Po-Ning Chen@ece. nctu Background 91

An Exemplified Ideal Digital Communication Problem – Phase Shift Keying n Is the correlator An Exemplified Ideal Digital Communication Problem – Phase Shift Keying n Is the correlator receiver optimal in the sense of BER? n Is the “sign-decision” optimal in the sense of BER? n Is the above combination optimal in the sense of BER? n Is the BER robust for imperfect system, such as timing and carrier mismatch? n Is the rectangular m(t) a fine choice? Moreover, is PSK a fine choice? If affirmative, in what sense? n …. © Po-Ning Chen@ece. nctu Background 92
