Digital Bandpass Modulation Methods
This chapter presents mathematical models of baseband and bandpass digital communication systems based on binary and quaternary phase-shift keying, frequency-shift keying, and quadrature amplitude modulation. The systems are deduced as special cases from the general generic system structure and the related theory of orthonormal basis functions. The systems are uniquely presented using mathematical operators and detailed derivatives for signals in time and frequency domains at the system’s vital points, that is, the transmitter, the receiver, and the noise generator, using the concepts of both stochastic (continuous and discrete) and deterministic (continuous and discrete) signal processing. The vital characteristics of the system and its blocks are expressed in terms of amplitude spectral density, autocorrelation functions, power and energy spectral densities, and bit error probability.
