8 PSK

This document describes 8-PSK modulation. With 8-PSK, three bits are encoded into tribits, resulting in eight possible output phases. The incoming bits are encoded in groups of three and fed into I-channel and Q-channel 2-to-4 level converters to generate the PAM levels. For a tribit input of 000, the output phase of the 8-PSK modulator would be -0.541 sin ωct + 1.307 cos ωct, or -22.5 degrees. The tribit code used between phases is a Gray code to minimize errors if the signal undergoes a small phase shift during transmission.

With 8-PSK, three bits are

encoded, forming tribits


and producing eight
different output phases.
With 8-PSK, n=3,M=8, and
there are eight possible
output phases. To encode
eight different phases, the
incoming bits are encoded
in groups of three, called
tribits (2^3 = 8).

It should also be noted that the tribit code between any two adjacent
phases changes by only one bit. This type of code is called the Gray
code or, sometimes, the maximum distance code. This code is used to
reduce the number of transmission errors. If a signal were to undergo a
phase shift during transmission, it would most likely be shifted to an
adjacent phasor. Using the Gray code results in only a single bit being
received in error.
