BPSK Modulator Baseband

Modulate using BPSK method

  • BPSK Modulator Baseband block

Libraries:
Communications Toolbox / Modulation / Digital Baseband Modulation / PM
Communications Toolbox HDL Support / Modulation / PM

Description

The BPSK Modulator Baseband block modulates a signal by using the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) method. The output is a baseband representation of the modulated signal. The input signal must be a discrete-time binary-valued signal. If the input bit is 0 or 1, then the modulated symbol is exp(jθ) or -exp(jθ), respectively. The Phase offset (rad) parameter specifies the value of θ in radians.

Ports

Input

expand all

Input signal, specified as a scalar or vector with element values in the range [0,M – 1], where M is the modulation order. If you specify a binary vector, the number of elements must be an integer multiple of the number of bits per symbol. The number of bits per symbol is equal to log2(M).

Main

Phase offset of the zeroth point of the constellation in radians, specified as a scalar.

Example: pi/4

Data Types

Output data type, specified as one of these options.

  • double

  • single

  • Inherit via back propagation — The block matches the output data type and scaling to the next block in the model

  • fixdt(1,16)

  • fixdt(1,16,0)

  • <data type expression> — Enables parameters for which you specify additional details

Algorithms

Phase modulation is a linear baseband modulation technique in which the message modulates the phase of a constant amplitude signal. Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) is a two phase modulation scheme, where the 0’s and 1’s in a binary message are represented by two different phase states in the carrier signal

sn(t)=2EbTbcos(2πfct+ϕn),

for (n1)TbtnTb, n=1,2, 3,where:

  • ϕn = πm, m∈{0,1}.

  • Eb is the energy per bit.

  • Tb is the bit duration.

  • fc is the carrier frequency.

In MATLAB®, the baseband representation of a BPSK signal is

sn(t)=eiϕn=cos(πn).

The BPSK signal has two phases: 0 and π. The probability of a bit error in an AWGN channel is

Pb=Q(2EbN0),

where N0 is the noise power spectral density.
