1. To understand the operation theory of the bit splitter.

2. To understand the operation theory of the balanced modulator.

3. To design the balanced modulator by using MC1496.

4. To understand the methods of measuring and adjusting the

balanced modulator circuit.

In the communication systems, besides PSK modulation that we have

mentioned before, there is another type of modulation, which we called

quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation. Both PSK and QPSK

modulations use the variation of phase of the carrier to modulate the data

signal. However, the main difference between PSK and QPSK modulations

is PSK modulation uses binary system, which means the phase difference of

the carrier signal is 180° that represents “1” or “0” for the data signal. If the

data signal is not binary system, but M-ary level, then we can use QPSK,

8PSK and so on to transmit the data signal more effectively. These types of

modulations just use the phase shift within 360° to represent the M-ary

levels. Therefore, N-bits of data signal can be transmitted at the same time.

This will reduce the transmitted bandwidth and a high transmission rate can

be achieved.

QPSK modulated signal is a system with M = 4 levels, which means 2

bits data will be transmitted at the same time. From the equation (15-1) in

chapter 15, we know that the QPSK modulated signal can be expressed as

From the above equation, we know that the phase of carrier of the

QPSK modulated signal is distributed to 4/π , 4/3π , 4/5π and 4/7π .

Each phase represents 2 bits data signal as shown in table 17-1. The signal

constellation diagram is shown in figure 17-1.

From the above equation, QPSK modulated signal can be assumed as a

combination of two BPSK modulation signal.

Figure 17-2 is the basic block diagram of the QPSK modulator. From

the block diagram, the input data signal has to be converted to parallel

output by the multiplexer.

The outputs of the multiplexer are the I-data and Q-data, which will match

with the orthogonal functions and the balanced modulators to obtain the

I-data of BPSK modulation signal (I-BPSK) and Q-data of BPSK

modulation signal (Q-BPSK). These two groups of data will be summed to

produce the QPSK modulated signal.

Figure 17-3 shows the circuit block diagram of QPSK modulator. 2 bits

data (2 bits in a group) is sent to the bit splitter at the same time. These two

groups of data will be split to parallel data. One of them will lead to I

channel to become I-data and the other will lead to Q channel to become

Q-data. The phase of I-data is similar to the carrier of the reference

oscillator, which will be modulated to become I-BPSK. However, the phase

difference between Q-data and the carrier of the reference oscillator is 90°,

which will be modulated to become Q-BPSK. We know that the QPSK

modulator is the combination of two BPSK modulators. Thus, at the output

terminal of the I balanced modulator (I-BPSK), there are two types of

phases will be produced, which are tcos cω+ and tcos cω− . Similarly, at

the output terminal of the Q balanced modulator (Q-BPSK), there are also

two types of phases will be produced, which are tsin cω+ and tsin cω− .

Figure 17-4(a) is the truth table of the phase output of QPSK

modulation and figure 17-4(b) is the constellation diagram of QPSK

modulation. From figure 17-4 (b), QPSK has four possible signal

constellations with same amplitude and the phase difference is o90 .

Therefore, although the QPSK signal has a o45± deviation during

transmission, the receiver still can demodulate the signal correctly.

Figure 17-5 to figure 17-9 are the details circuit diagrams of each block

of QPSK modulator in figure 17-3. Figure 17-5 shows the bit splitter, which

is comprised by four D-flip flops and one JK flip flop. D-flip flop 1 (DFF1)

and D-flip flop 2 (DFF2) comprise a shift register which its transmission

rate is the same as the data rate. JK flip flop 1 (JKFF1) and XOR gate

comprise an inverter. The objective is to invert the CLK signal, then it will

pass through the capacitor to delay the signal so that the D-flip flop 3 (DFF3)

and D-flip flop 4 (DFF4) are able to convert the serial input to parallel

output, which are I-data and Q-data. The duty cycle of I-data and Q-data are

the double the original data signal, bT2 .

unipolar Q-data to bipolar I-data and bipolar Q-data. After that these

signals will be inputted to pin 1 of MC1496. The operation theory is to

invert the digital signal by inverter (74HCU04) and then pass through two

followers to split the signal into two. These two signals will pass through

the switch, which is comprised by 3904, 3906, DZ1, DZ2, DZ3 and R1 to R8

to convert the unipolar signal to bipolar signal.

Digital and Analog Communication Systems

Figure 17-7 shows the details circuit diagram of balanced modulator.

The balanced modulator is comprised by MC1496. Both the carrier signal

and data signal are single-ended inputs. The carrier signal is inputted at pin

10 and the data signal is inputted at pin 1. The R13 and R14 determine the

gain and the bias current of the circuit, respectively. If we adjust VR1 or the

amplitude of digital signal, we may prevent the modulated signal from

distortion. Then this signal will pass through the filter, which is comprised

by 741Aµ , C3, C5, R17, R18 and R19. The objective is to remove the high

frequency signal in order to obtain the optimum PSK signal.

Figure 17-8 shows the phase shifter, which is used to shift the phase of

carrier signal. This situation will produce a group of orthogonal carrier

signal, which will supply to the balanced modulators of I-channel and

Q-channel. The phase angle (θ ) is related to iR , iC and the frequency of

carrier. The expression is

Figure 18-1 shows the circuit block diagram of QPSK demodulator.

From the diagram, we know that the operation of QPSK demodulator is

similar to PSK demodulation in chapter 16. Both of them use the structure

of the Squaring loop detector, the main difference is just the QPSK

demodulator needs two groups of signal squarer. If let )t(xQPSK as the PSK

From the equation (18-2), k represents the gain of the signal squarer. The

first term is the DC signal, the second term is the output of 2nd harmonic of

the carrier signal ( c2ω ) and the third term is the output of 4th harmonic of the

carrier signal ( c4ω ). From the third term above, we know that the two groups

of signal squarers can remove all the four phases variation of QPSK and the

output of the signal squarer 2 is the four times frequency of the carrier signal.

Digital Communication Systems

Let the output signal of signal squarer as equation (18-2). Then this

signal will pass through a filter to block the DC signal and the 2nd

harmonic signal. After that by using the PLL, the 4th harmonic sine wave

signal will be converted to square wave and the square wave signal will

pass through a frequency divider to reduce the frequency which equals to

the frequency of carrier signal ( cω ). Then, this signal will pass through the

phase detector, which is used to adjust the phase shift of the QPSK signal.

The objective of phase detector is to control the analog switch for the I

P/O and Q P/O of parallel signal outputs. Then the parallel signals

will pass through the rectifier and comparator, which the parallel I-Data

and Q-Data outputs will be recovered. Finally by using the parallel to

serial converter, the output signals will be recovered to the original data

signal.

Figure 18-2 to figure 18-7 are the details circuit diagram of each block

in figure 18-1. Figure 18-2 is the signal squarer, which is designed by using

MC1496. The input signal passes through R1 and U1, which is the buffer

amplifier. This signal will be inputted to pin 1 and pin 10 of MC1496. The

magnitude of the input signal is controlled by VR1, then adjusting VR1 so

that the output signal of pin 12 will double the frequency of the input signal.

The U3, C4, R15, R16 and R17 comprise a filter. The objective of the filter is to

remove the DC signal and the harmonic signal of the signal squarer. The R11

and R12 determine the gain and the bias current of the circuit, respectively.

Figure 18-3 shows the details circuit diagram of the PLL. The objective

is to convert the output signal of signal squarer 2 to square wave. The phase

of the square wave signal is similar to the phase of the carrier of QPSK. In

figure 18-3, we know that the PLL circuit is comprised by 74HC4046, R1,

R2, R3, C1, C2 and VR1. Then we can control the frequency of voltage

controlled oscillator by adjusting VR1. The free-running frequency is the

output frequency of the square wave signal in figure 18-3.

Figure 18-4 is the frequency divider, which is implemented by using

74HC393. From the circuit, we know that this frequency divider has two

divisors, which are 2 and 4. Pin 3 is used to divide the clock signal by 2. Pin

10 is used to divide the output signal of PLL signal by 4.

Figure 18-4 The circuit diagram frequency divider

Figure 18-5 is the details circuit diagram of phase shifter. This circuit

is used to adjust the phase shift the square wave from frequency divider.

Then the phase shifted square wave is used to detect the phase variation of

the QPSK signal, which will be used to control the analog switch for

parallel I P/O and Q P/O signals. The phase shifter is comprised by

using two 26S02 to adjust the phase of the square wave. Then the two

output square waves will be outputted through port 2 and port 4 of U2,

which is used to detect the phase variation of the QPSK signal. After that

this signal is used to control the analog switch, 74HC4053 for the two

parallel signal outputs, i.e. I P/O and Q P/O .

Figure 18-6 shows the low-pass filter, which is comprised by RC

circuit and the voltage comparator, which is comprised by using 741Aµ

and diode. The objective of this circuit is to recover the parallel output

signals I P/O and Q P/O to parallel output signals of I-Data and

Q-Data.

Figure 18-7 is the circuit diagram of parallel to serial converter. This

circuit is used to convert and recover the parallel I-Data and Q-Data signals

to serial data signals. From figure 18-7, we know that this converter is

comprised by using 74165. The parallel input signal I-Data and Q-Data are

inputted through pin 5 and pin 6. The output serial data signal can be

obtained at pin 9. The required clock signal of this converter is similar to the

clock signal of QPSK modulator. Therefore, we just need to input the clock

signal of the QPSK modulator to the input terminal (pin 2) of the converter.

At this moment the clock signal will pass through a 1/2 frequency divider

and convert to pulse signal which will be sent to pin 1 of 74165.
