FIGURE 3.8An M-ary PSK demodulator <strong>and</strong> decoder.The decoding operation involves reconstructing the data bit sequenceencoded onto the carrier. The lowest possibility <strong>of</strong> decoding a carrier in erroroccurs if phase-coherent decoding is used. Phase-coherent decoding requiresthe decoder to use a referenced carrier at the same frequency <strong>and</strong> phase as thereceived modulated carrier during each bit time. In addition, the exact timing<strong>of</strong> the beginning <strong>and</strong> ending <strong>of</strong> each bit must be known. Often the phase <strong>and</strong>timing coherency is achieved using a separate synchronization device operatingtogether with the decoder. The function <strong>of</strong> the synchronization device is toextract the required reference <strong>and</strong> timing from the received modulated carrieritself.As seen in the previous subsections on PSK techniques, the mappingfrom binary to M-ary symbols is performed in a manner ensuring that any pair<strong>of</strong> adjacent symbols differs in only one binary digit. Such a mapping scheme isknown as Gray coding or, sometimes, the maximum distance coding. Thismapping scheme minimizes the number <strong>of</strong> bit errors that result from ademodulation error because when a digital receiver receives noise-inducederror signals, it incorrectly selects a symbol adjacent to the correct one [2].Using the Gray code results in only a single bit received in error.3.2.5 Transmission B<strong>and</strong>width RequirementsCommunication speed depends on how fast data are generated from the‘‘source’’ <strong>and</strong> transferred through a channel. A channel is the path by whichpropagation signals take. It could be a telephone line, microwave link, satellitelink, or optical fiber. A one-way communication path is called a channel, <strong>and</strong> atwo-way path formed by two channels is a circuit. The data rate is stated inCopyright © 2002 by Marcel Dekker, Inc.
