Binary Phase Shift Keying
Binary Phase Shift Keying
• Figure shows the (a)truth table, (b)phasor diagram, and (c)constellation diagram for
a BPSK modulator.
• A constellation diagram, which is sometimes called a signal state-space diagram, is
similar to a phasor diagram except that the entire phasor is not drawn.
• In a constellation diagram, only the relative positions of the peaks of the phasors are
shown.

• For BPSK, the output rate of change (baud) is equal
to the input rate of change (bps), and the widest
output bandwidth occurs when the input binary data
are an alternating 1/0 sequence.
• The fundamental frequency ( fa) of an alternative 1/0
bit sequence is equal to one-half of the bit rate ( fb/2).

Example:
For a BPSK modulator with a carrier frequency of 70 MHz and an
input bit rate of 10 Mbps, determine the maximum and
minimum upper and lower side frequencies, draw the output
spectrum, determine the minimum Nyquist bandwidth, and
calculate the baud
