15.11 Decoding
15.11.1 BPSK Decoding
Using vector analysis of the constellation pattern, BPSK represents one symbol with the
carrier phase either at 0° or 180°. The characteristics for BPSK are provided in the
following table.
Code Rate Symbols/Bit Bits/Hz
1/1 1 2
1/2 2 0.5
5/16 3.2 0.3125
21/44 2.1 0.477
15.11.2 QPSK Decoding
The demodulator converts transmitted baseband data into a modulated QPSK carrier at the
following parameters:
4.8 kbps to 2.5 Mbps (1/2 rate)
7.2 kbps to 3.75 Mbps (3/4 rate)
8.4 kbps to 4.375 Mbps (7/8 rate)
