Therefore, following a procedure similar to that used for evaluating the average
probability of error for a conventional PSK system, we find that for the system defined by
Eq. (1) the average probability of error is

Let P, = average probability of symbol error in to the in-phase channel
P,g = average probability of aymbol error in to the quadrature channel
Since the individual outputs of the in-phase and quadrature channels are statisttcally independent,
the overall average probability of correct reception is
Py = (1 - Poy) A - Peg)
=1- Pa - Peg + Per Peg
The overall average probability of error is therefore
= Par + Peg - Pet Peg

Figures 6.10 and 6.10b of the textbook, reproduced here for convenience of presentation, depict
the signal-space diagrams of QPSK and offset QPSK signals, respectively:
(a) QPSK (b) Offset QPSK
Figure |
The two parts of this figure clearly show that the signal-space structure of the offset QPSK is
basically the same as that of the standard QPSK. They only differ from each other in the way in
which transition takes place from one signal point to another. Accordingly, they have the same
power spectral density, as shown by
SUP) = Eglsine" (27 y(F-f,)) + sine? 27,(f + f.))1
where 7;, is the bit duration and f, is the carrier frequency.
Problem 6.9
(a) In vestigial-sideband (VSB) modulation, there are two basis functions:
+ The double-bandwidth sinc function, defined by
(0 = [fsine(#
where T'is the symbol period and f, is the carrier frequency.
cos 2/1) @
+ The Hilbert transform of 6;(0), defined by92(0) = (0)
= ffsine(24) sin(2nf,1) Q)
where it is assumed that f, > 2/T.
(Here we have made use of the Hilbert-transform pair listed as entry 1 in Table A6.4, with the
low-pass signal m(t) set equal to YT7F sinc 2(t/T).)
The basis functions (1) and (2) imply the use of single-sideband modulation, which (as
discussed in Chapter 2) is a special form of vestigial sideband modulation. We have chosen
these definitions merely to simplify the discussion. The use of VSB substitutes a realizable
function for the sinc function that is unrealizable in practice.
Based on the definitions of the basis functions (1) and (2) given in Eqs. (1) and (2), it may
be tempting to choose 2/T as the symbol rate for successive transmission of binary symbols
using binary VSB. However, such a choice of signaling destroys the orthonormality of 6,(t)
and $3(0); that is,
froune(s- wre 1 for j=i
0 for j#i
To maintain orthogonality of (1) and 69(1), successive translations of these basis functions
must be integer multiples of 1/7, as shown by
f O(1)0(t-kT)dt = { nue
0 0 for j#i
for any integer k.
‘Suppose, however, we restrict k to assume only odd integer values, and choose the carrier
frequency f, to be an odd integer multiple of 1/27; that is,
= odd integer )
We then have the following two properties
313jdt = 0 for all odd integer k 4)
i) sin(2ny(r-Z)) = sin(2mft)cos(kln/2) - cos(2n/,1)sin(kin/2)
= cos(2nf,t) for * = odd integer
1 = odd integer
With such a choice, the implementation of the digital VSB transmission system is equivalent
to a time-varying one-dimensional data transmission system, which operates at the rate of 2/T
dimensions per second.
(b) The optimum receiver for the digital VSB transmission system just described consists of a pair
of matched filters, that are matched to the two basis functions @,(t) and 65(¢) as defined in Eqs.
(1) and (2). However, in order to conform to the design choices imposed on integer & and
carrier frequency f, as described in Eqs. (4) and (3), the instants of time at which the two
matched filter outputs are sampled are staggered by 7/2 with respect to each other. The two
sequences of samples so obtained are subsequently interleaved so as to produce a single one-
dimensional data stream as the overall receiver output. The delay by 7/2 is identical to what is
actually done in the offset QPSK, thereby establishing the equivalence of the digital VSB
system to the offset QPSK.

The output of a n/4-shifted QPSK modulator may be expressed in terms of its in-phase and
quadrature components as
FE
The different values of interger i correspond to the eight possible phase states in which the
modulator can reside. But, unlike the 8-PSK modulator, the phase states of the 1/4-shifted QPSK
modulator are divided into two QPSK groups that are shifted by 1/4 relative to each other.

‘Then the 7/4-shifted QPSK signal is defined in terms of these two basis functions as

On the basis of this representation, we may thus set up the following scheme for generating m/4-

where $j.1 + Ax = $4 and O,.1 is the absolute angle of symbol k-1, and Ady is the differentially

where K is a constant. In a balanced FM discriminator, the DC offset 2nf-K will not appear at the
