Description
The M-PSK Modulator Baseband block modulates an input signal using M-ary phase shift keying (PSK) and returns a complex baseband output. The modulation order, M, which is equivalent to the number of points in the signal constellation, is determined by the M-ary number parameter. The block accepts scalar or column vector input signals.

For binary-encoding, the output baseband signal maps input bits or integers to complex symbols according to:
When the input is configured for bits, groups of log2(M) bits represent the complex symbols for the configured symbol mapping. The mapping can be binary encoded, Gray encoded, or custom encoded.
Gray coding has the advantage that only one bit changes between adjacent constellation points, which results in better bit error rate performance. This table shows the mapping between the input and output symbols for 8-PSK modulation with Gray coding.
