Abstract
Demand for mobile and personal communications is growing at a rapid pace, both in
terms of the number of potential users and the introduction of new high-speed services.
Meeting this demand is challenging since wireless communications are subject to three major
constraints: a complex and harsh fading channel, a scarce usable radio spectrum, and
limitations on the power and size of handheld terminals. Another major problem, which is
very much in concern for wireless communication system in recent years is the
Synchronization mismatch of the three basic parameters as Phase, Frequency and Time
between the transmitter and receiver. Therefore it is the primary need to study the modulation
and demodulation schemes of the signals, and there performance in various environment as
Additive White Gaussian Noise channel and Fading channel and how the signal quality can
be improved.
M-ary Modulation schemes, one of most efficient digital data transmission systems
have been discussed. It focuses on basic M-ary modulation schemes like MPSK, MFSK,
MDPSK, and MQAM. This paper gives the representation ofM-ary modulation methods,
their geometrical representation and representation of Basis functions and mainly it deals with
the probability of error calculation for all the above stated M-ary modulation schemes. A
brief discussion about the Error performance of the BPSK, and BFSK with the probability of
error calculation over Rayleigh, Rician and Nanagami-q (Hoyt) channel, how the Signal to
Noise ratio will effected by these Fading channels. The performance of the M-ary modulated
signals are very much degraded by these Fading channels and a large amount of spectrum and
power is wasted at the receiving end to receive these signals. Therefore, effective spectral and
power efficient fading mitigation techniques are required. Diversity techniques play a vital
role in supporting such high speed connections over radio channels by mitigating the
detrimental effects of multiuser interference and multipath fading impairments. The Selection
Combining diversity and the Maximal Ratio Combining diversity techniques are anglicised in
this thesis, to mitigate the effect of fading on BPSK and BFSK and a comparison was donebetween the BPSK and BFSK to show which one give us the better result.
The Synchronization mismatch of the Phase between the transmitter and receiver is
discussed in a brief space. In case of wireless communication it is not possible to estimate the
correct Phase of the propagating wave; therefore it is difficult at the receiver end to receive
the signals with the correct phase as transmitted by the transmitter. The performance of the
wave is degraded very much at the receiver. This thesis examined the problem of wrong
phase estimation of the BPSK and QPSK signals, and then compared with DPSK and
DMPSK where no phase estimation is need.

1 INTRODUCTION
Today communication enters our daily lives in so many different ways that it is very
easy to overlook the drawbacks of this system. The telephones at our hands, the radio and
televisions in our living rooms, the computer terminals with access to the Internet in our
homes and offices, and our newspapers are all capable of providing rapid communication
from every corner of the globe. The ability to communicate with people on the move has
evolved remarkably since Guglielmo Marconi [23]first demonstrated radios ability to
provide continuous contact with ships sailing the English Channel. That was 1897, and since
then new wireless communications methods and services have been enthusiastically adopted
by people throughout the world. At present, more than 1 billion people pay a monthly
subscription for wireless telephone service, and the wireless communications industry has
been experiencing phenomenal annual growth rates exceeding 50% over the past several
years.
The wireless revolution was triggered and is being sustained by several important
factors: advances in microelectronics, high-speed intelligent networks, positive user response
and an encouraging regulatory climate worldwide .Beyond the arena of mobile
communications, there are numerous wireless applications including Wireless local area
networks (WLANs), Bluetooth, Local Multipoint Distribution Systems (LMDS), satellite
communications and radiofrequency identification (RFID) operating at frequencies extending
into the millimetre-wave regime (>30 GHz). The Bluetooth standard offers fast and reliable
digital transmissions of both voice and data over the globally available 2.4 GHz ISM
(Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. LMDS, the next big broadband radio access system
provides broadband telecommunications access in the local telephone exchange operate at a
very high frequencies of the order of 30GHz. Current spectrum allocations for cellular and
PCS systems are concentrated at frequency bands around 900 MHz and 1.8 GHz; future
allocations for PCS systems are expected around 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. The move to higher
(millimeter-wave) frequencies has been motivated by the need for more and more bandwidth

for multimedia applications such as wireless cable TV and high-speed internet access, and
by increased overcrowding of lower frequency bands. To meet this increasing demand, new
wireless techniques and architectures must be developed to maximize capacity and quality of
service (QoS) without a large penalty in the implementation complexity or cost. This provides
many new challenges to engineers involved with system design, one of which is ensuring the
integrity of the data is maintained during transmission.
In wireless system, signal strength is changed rapidly over a small travel distance or
time interval, the reason behind this is multipathpropagation of the signal. Multipath in radio
channel creates small scale fading. Due to the fading effects the signal received by the mobile
at any point in the space may consists of a large number of plane waves having randomly
distributed amplitude, phase, and angles of arrival.
The degradation of transmission quality due to channel fading cannot be simply
overcome by increasing the transmitted signal power. This because, even with high
transmitted power, when the channel is in deep fading, the instantaneously received SNR per
bit can still be very low, so there is a high probability of transmission error during the deep
fading. Therefore to solve this problem or to mitigating the effect of fading, diversity is
applied.
The signals which are transmitted from the transmitter and propagating through the
space, then received by the receiver is suffered from another problem, known as the
synchronizationproblem. The synchronization problem is the most discussed issue in recent
time in the field of wireless communication. The mismatch of certain parameters at the
transmitter and receiver is called synchronization problem. The parameters are amplitude,
frequency and phase, any one of these parameters if not tracked perfectly at the receiver the
signal is distorted.
1.1 MOTIVATIONAND BACKGROUND
In recent years, we are experiencing huge growth rates in wireless and mobile
communication system. Increasing mobility awareness in society and the world wide
deregulation of former monopolized markets. While traditional communication paradigms
2
-

deal with fixed networks, mobility raises a new set of questions, techniques, and solutions.
For many countries, wireless communication is the only solution due to the lack of an
appropriate fixed communication infrastructure. All these make wireless communication
system so much popular and create ever-increasing demand to understand the development
and possibilities of wireless communication. There are many new and exciting systems
currently being developed in research labs, more mobile devices, the merging of classical
voice and data transmission technologies and the extension of todays Internet applications
onto mobile and wireless devices. 4G wireless system is coming, the demand for the higher
data rate and so that spectrum bandwidth is increasing simultaneously. Therefore it is
necessary to increase the number of base-station and the coverage area. To give a strong and
high data rate signal, the number of cell, micro cell would be increased and the frequency
reuse should be maximized. But the allocated area and spectrum is limited or restricted. The
result is to increasing the rate of interference of the spectrums, cross talk, and the performance
degradation of the wireless signals. So it is the primary need for todays scenario that to
achieve the higher data rate with these limited spectrum bandwidth and improve the
performance of the signals.
1.2 THESIS OBJECTIVES
The objective of this thesis is to study the M-ary digital modulation schemes on the
basis of the error performance that are very important in to-days communication scenario.
The demand for higher data rate and better bandwidth efficiency is increased day by day, but
the total bandwidth allocation is limited. Therefore it is very much necessary to study the
modulation schemes which give us the better result. M-ary modulation schemes achieve
betterbandwidth efficiency than other modulation techniques and give higher data rate. We
also study the constellation diagrams of the M-ary modulated signals, modulations with large
constellations have higher data rates for a given signal bandwidth, but will have higher error
rates which require more transmission power to maintain a given Quality of service as
determined by the communication service.

Next we study that how multipath and fading effect the modulated signals, and the
degradation of the symbol error rate due to these multipath and different fading channel. In
this section signal degradation due to Rayleigh, Rician and Nakagami-q (Hoyt) is to be
discussed. All these study is very much important, if it is considered for the wireless
environment and every one known that todays world is wireless. Because of that the study of
the propagation behaviour over the wireless channel is very much important. Another
necessary study is to how diversity will improve the degradation of the faded signals. By
applying diversity to the receiver end the version of the incoming signal which gives the best
SNR can be achieved.
For the wireless communication system another threat of the signals is the
synchronization mismatch. The main objective is to study the degradation of the errorrates
due to the imperfect phase estimation of the coherently detected signals at the receiver end
and to show BPSK and QPSK signals how affected due to the phase synchronization
mismatch.
1.3 THESIS OUTLINE
The thesis begins with an overview of M-ary digital modulation schemes. It is
discussed, about the various application of the M-ary modulation scheme, in all most all field
of the communication system in the Section 2 of Chapter 2. A brief description about the
general form the M-ary modulation schemes, what will be the geometric representation and
baseband representation of a signal, what is grey coding in the Section 2.3. Section 2.4 is

diagrams are depicted in Section 2.5. The error performance of the signals is discussed in
detailed in Section 2.6. Section 2.7 is trying to give the alternative expressions of the
probability of the symbol error rates over AWGN channel. Finally Section 2.8 depicts all the
simulation results.

Section 3.2, we discussed error performance of the BPSK and BFSK over Rayleigh , Rician,
and Nakagami-q (Hoyt) fading channels. The output results of the simulation of the error
performance are showed in Section 3.3. Section 3.4 is about the diversity, how diversity will

M-ary Modulation Schemes
2.1 INTRODUCTIONAdvancement in very large-scale integration (VLSI) and digital signal processing
(DSP) technology have made digital modulation more cost effective than analog modulation.
Digital modulation offers many advantages such as greater noise immunity and robustness to
channel impairments, easier multiplexing of various forms of information and greater
security. Moreover, digital transmissions accommodate digital error control codes, support
complex signal conditioning and processing techniques such as source coding, encryption,
equalization and diversity combining to improve the performance of the overall
communication link.
2.2 APPLICATIONS
Digital modulation schemes are classified into two large categories: constant envelope
and non-constant envelope. Under constant envelope class, there are three subclasses:FSK,
PSK,and CPM. Under non-constant envelope class, there are three subclasses: ASK, QAM,
and other non-constant envelope modulations. Among the listed schemes, ASK, PSK, and
FSK are basic modulations, and MSK, GMSK, CPM, MHPM, and QAM, etc. are advanced
schemes. The advanced schemes are variations and combinations of the basic schemes [1]
The generic non-constant envelope schemes, such as ASK and QAM, are
generally not suitable for systems with nonlinear power amplifiers. However QAM,
with a large signal constellation, can achieve extremely high bandwidth efficiency .M-
ary PAM has got applications in variety of areas such as communication and radar
systems, inter-vehicle communication, satellite communication [2] and location
among satellite formation [3-5], low power communication applications [6] and radar
systems [7-8].M-ary QAM has got too many practical applications which require
higher data rates like ADSL, modems, digital CATV applications [9], HDTV systems
[10].

The PSK schemes have constant envelope but discontinuous phase transitions from
symbol to symbol. M-ary PSK schemes were used in quasi-optical wireless array applications
[11], compressed Image communication in mobile fading channel [12], space applications
[13], Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) [14], telemetry with high
performance wireless MEMS strain-sensing applications [15] communication systems like
TDMA [16] and land mobile satellite communication links [17].
M-ary FSK modulation is widely applied in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or, power limited
systems such as deep space probes [18], satellites and space telemetry where link capacity may
be enhanced at the cost of required transmission bandwidth.
2.3 GENERALDESCRIPTIONOFTHE M-ARYSCHEME

and i =0; iA A= ;
In M-ary signaling schemes one of Msignals s0(t),s1(t), ..sM-1(t) are transmitted
during each signaling interval of duration Ts. These signals are generated by changing the
amplitude, phase (or) frequency of the carrier in the M-discrete steps. In M-ary modulation,
n=log2Mdata bits are represented by a symbol, where M=2n.So the bandwidth efficiency is
increased to n times.
2.3.1Geometric representation
The essence of geometric representation of signals is to represent any set of Menergy
signals { ( )}is t as linear combinations ofNorthogonal basis functions, where N M . That
if there is a set of real valued energy signals s 1(t),s2(t), ..sM(t), each of duration Tseconds,

Let, the transmitted signal s(t) be a narrowband signal cantered around
frequencyfc, such that
{ }tf2j ce)t(s~)t(s =
where, )t(s~
is called the baseband/low-pass equivalent or, complex envelope ofs(t). For an
unmodulated carrier ( )tf2cosA)t(s c= , the complex envelope )t(s~ is simplyA.
2.3.3 Gray coding
The bits sequence to signal mapping could be arbitrary provided that the mapping is one-to-one. However, a method called Gray coding is usually used in signal assignment in MPSK.
Gray coding assigns n-tuples with only one-bit difference to two adjacent signals in the
constellation. When an M-ary symbol error occurs, it is more likely that the signal is detected
as the adjacent signal on the constellation, thus only one of the n input bits is in error.

A M-ary digital PAM signal set is represented as

whereAi denote the set ofMpossible amplitudes.(M=2n).Ai=(2m-1-M)d,m=0,1,2M-1

2.3.6DIFFERENTIAL M-ARY PHASE SHIFT KEYING
In differential MPSK, the M-ary information is contained in the phase
transitions rather than in the phase value. For example, in QPSK constellation ,there
are four possible phase transition(0, &2 )and two bits (a 4-ary symbol)are
required to choose one of them. In the general MPSK case, there are M possible
phase transitions (( 1)22 40, , ,............,
MM M M
) & log2Mbits are required to
choose one of them.
First, lets start with the expression for the transmitted signal
( )i
s t during interval 1i n i +
( ) cos(2 )i c i
s t A f t = + + (2.5)
where 0 is the intermediate frequency, st is the sampling time, is the unknown carrier
phase, & i is the differentially modulated phase given by
1i i i = + (2.6)
The phase shift i depends on the input symbol, { }0,1,......., 1i M so that the
data are encoded on one of the Mpossible phase transition.
2.3.7M-ARY FREQUENCY SHIFT KEYING
There are M signals with different frequency to represent the M messages. in this
modulation scheme the information of the transmitted signal is carried by the frequency. The
expression for the ith
signal is

T= .where nc is the fixed integer.where T is the symbol period
which is n times the bit period. If the initial phases are the same for all i, for the signals to be
orthogonal, the frequency separations between any two of them must be m/2T for coherent
case and m/T for non-coherent case. Thus the minimum separation between two adjacent
frequencies is 1/2Tfor orthogonal case and 1/Tfor non-coherent case. These are the same as
those of the binary case. Usually a uniform frequency separation between two adjacent
frequencies is chosen for MFSK.
2.3.8M-ARY QUADRATURE AMPLITUDE MODULATION
Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is such a class of non-constant envelope
schemes that can achieve higher bandwidth efficiency than MPSK with the same average
signal power. In MPAM scheme, signals have the same phase but different amplitude and in
MPSK scheme; signals have same amplitude but different phase or varying phase. Now
MQAM is a scheme, where signals have varying amplitude and varying phase. A MQAM
signal set is represented as
( ) cos(2 )i i c i s t A f t = + i=1,2M. (2.8)
whereAiis the amplitude and i is the phase of the ith
signal in the M-ary signal set.

2.4 CONSTELLATION DIAGRAMS OF DIFFERENT M-ARY SCHEMES
A constellation diagram is a representation of a signal modulated by a digital
modulation scheme. It displays the signal as a two-dimensional scatter diagram in the
complex plane at symbol sampling instants. In a more abstract sense, it represents the possible
symbols that may be selected by a given modulation scheme as point in the complex plane.
Measured constellation diagrams can be used to recognize the type of interference and
distortion in a signal.
2.4.1 M-ARY PULSE AMPLITUDE MODULATION:
MPAM signals are one dimensional and represented by ( ) ( )i is t s f t = , where ( )f t is
defined as the unit energy signal.
Fig.2.1-constellation diagram for MPAM illustrated for M=8
Construction of the above diagram can be done from the following equationAi=(2m-
1-M)d . where m=1,2,8,as M=8.and The Euclidean distance between any pair of
points is
2d= ( ) 2mn i jd s s= , where mnd is the Euclidean distance between any pair of points.

2.4.2 M-ARY PHASE SHIFT KEYING:
The MPSK signal constellation is two-dimensional. Each signal ( )is t is represented by a
point ( )1, 2i is s in the coordinates presented by ( ) ( )1 2t , t . Polar coordinates of the signal are
( , )iE . The Mpoints are equally spaced on the circle of radius and centre at origin.
Gray coding is usually used in signal assignment in MPSK. Here a 8-PSK constellation
diagram is represented.

whereL is a positive integer. Under this condition, an M-ary QAM square constellation can
always be viewed as the Cartesian product of one dimensional L-ary PAM constellation with
it self. HereL=4,so it is a figure of a Cartesian product of the 4-PAM constellation with itself.
A few of the other constellations offer slightly better error performance, but with a much
more complicated system implementation, like star constellation.
2.5 RECEIVER STRUCTURES
The type of modulation and detection (coherent or non-coherent) determines the structure of
the decision circuits and hence the decision variable, denoted byz. The decision variable, z,
is compared with M-1 thresholds, corresponding to Mdecision regions for detection purposes.

2.6ERROR PERFORMANCE
The error performance, which is discussed in this thesis, is mainly caused due to the
channel noise. Channel noise is introduced anywhere between the transmitter output and the
receiver input.
Modulation schemes are chosen or designed according to channel characteristic in order
to optimize their performance. Additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel is a universal
channel model for analyzing modulation schemes. In this model, the channel does nothing but
add a White Gaussian noise to the signal passing through it. Then the received signal is
represented as
( ) ( ) ( )r t s t n t = + (2.10)
where r(t)is the received signal, s(t) is the transmitted signal, and n(t) is the
additive white Gaussian noise. We calculating error performance which caused by
n(t) with zero mean andN0/2 as variance.

noise n exceeds in magnitude one-half of the distance between two adjacent levels. The

2.7 ALTERNATE ERROR EXPRESSION
The classical definition of complementary error function, Gaussian probability integral
function/ Q function, Marcums Q function and incomplete gamma function has the argument
(or, one of the arguments) in the integration limit, not in its integrand. This makes
computation of these functions quite difficult and when one needs to evaluate any integration
involving them (this is most common while calculating average symbol error probability) the
person cannot possibly use the method of exchanging sequence of integration in the
expressions involving multiple integrals. Alternate representations of these functions have the
integration limits independent of function arguments. This feature greatly simplifies the
26
-
8/8/2019 Dipanwita Thesis
35/76
evaluation process. Also integrations are defined over a finite range which makes the
numerical calculation easy.
Gaussian Q-function:
The one dimensional Gaussian Q-function ( )xQ is defined as the complement of
cumulative distribution function (cdf) corresponding to the normalized Gaussian Random
variable X . This function can be given by
( ) dyyxQ
x
=
2exp
2
12
This representation suffers from two disadvantages. This relation requires truncation of
the upper infinite limit when using numerical integral evaluation or algorithmic techniques.
The presence of the augment of the function as the lower limit of the integral poses analytical
difficulties when argument depends on other random parameter that require statistical
averaging over their probability distributions.

SNR in dB on the abscissa and probability of error on ordinate. Figure (2.15) to figure (2.18)
showed that the simulated and theoretical curves of the symbol error rate of the modulation
schemes almost matched each other or the simulated curves satisfied the theoretical symbol
error rates. Figure (2.19) to figure (2.21), from these figures it is observed that as the value of

Fading Channel Modelling and Antenna Diversity Techniques
3.1 INTRODUCTION
In wireless communication system, propagation path or the transmission path between
the transmitter and receiver may be ofLine-of-sight path orNon-line-of-sight path. In case of
line-of-sight, the path between the transmitter and the receiver is direct. Whereas in non-line-
of-sight, the path is not direct, rather it is obstructed by some building, trees, mountains or
foliage, even-if some times earths curvature acts as a obstacle. Non-line-of-sight propagation
is mainly noticed in urban areas, where the density of obstacle is more. Due to the presence of
these obstacles in the path, the propagating wave may be reflected, diffracted, orscattered.
All there are the causes of or the creator of the non-line-of-sight path. So the transmitted
signal propagates through multiple path, with each having associated delay. And, the receiver
receives multiple copies of the transmitted signal. Interaction between these waves creates
multipath fading at a certain location and the strength of the waves decreases as the distance
between the transmitter and receiver increases. Therefore a wireless channel is random in
nature, and it is very difficult to predict the nature of the transmitted signal, like wired
channel which is stationary andpredictable. For all these reason it is all most impossible to
choose a single channel that would model all the propagation environment.
Because of the random nature of the wireless channels, a number of statistical models
has been developed to represent the channel conditions. Propagation models have
traditionally focused on predicting the average received signal strength at a given distance
from the transmitter, as well as the variability of the signal strength in close spatial proximity
to a particular location.Large-scalepropagation models are the models that predict the mean
signal strength for an arbitrary transmitter-receiver (T-R) separation, thereby estimating the
radio coverage of a transmitter [23]. In Small-scale propagation models, the propagating wave
fluctuates rapidly over a very short travel distance.
This chapter mainly study the error performance of the signals in Small-scale-fading
channel or in more detail about the signal which propagated through Slow-Flat-fading
34
-
8/8/2019 Dipanwita Thesis

channel. ( has the constant gain and linear phase response over a bandwidth, which is greater
than the bandwidth of the transmitted signal ). The Rayleigh, Rician and Nakagami are the
most commonly used statistical models to represent small-scale fading phenomenon while
empirical models like the Hata, Okamura models predict the mean signal strengths
(representing the large-scale-fading effects) by estimating the path-loss component through
availablemeasurements [23].
3.2 ERROR PERFORMANCE
3.2.1Rayleigh Fading
In a stationary flat and slow fading channel ,two conditions can be find out (a) the delay
spread introduced by the multipath propagation environment is negligible in respect to the
symbol interval. From this we can say that the effect of the channel can be represented by a
complex gain ( ) exp[ ( )]t j t ,where ( )t is amplitude fading and ( )t is the phase
distortion. For a transmitted signal ( )is t ,with symbol interval sT ,the received signal in the
fading channel is
( ) ( ) exp[ ( )] ( ) ( )i
r t t j t s t n t = + (3.1)
Now the second condition is (b) that it is possible for the receiver to estimate ( )t and
remove it. So for the following BER calculation we assume ( ) 0t = .
In a cellular system the effect of propagation path loss and shadowing on the received
signal is compensated for by power control and the received signals experience only
multipath Rayleigh fading. In other words, the received signal energy is attenuated by a factor
2 ,that is 2E . In the following analysis we take /SNR bit =

where is the average received SNR/bit with respect to2

where (.)f is the probability density function of the amplitude fading . For Rayleigh
fading channel , follows a Rayleigh distribution with probability density function

Nakagami-q (Hoyt) Fading is used to model fading environments more severe than
Rayleigh fading. This distribution is not frequently used in practice because it only applies in
the case where there is not a strong wave arriving at the receiver, and when at the same time
the in- phase and quadrature components of the received signal have different variances or are
correlated. This situation is usually, but not always, limited to the case of the Non-LineOf-
Sight (NLOS) propagation [24].

3.4 MITIGATING THE EFFECT OF FADING BY DIVERSITY
Diversity combining devotes the entire resources of the array to service a single user.
Specifically, diversity schemes enhance reliability by minimizing the channel fluctuations due
to fading. The central idea in diversity is that different antennas receive different versions of
the same signal. The chances of all these copies being in a deep fades is small. These schemes
therefore make most sense when the fading is independent from element to element and are of
limited use (beyond increasing the SNR) if perfectly correlated (such as inLOS conditions).
Independent fading would arise in a dense urban environment where the several multipath
components add up very differently at each element.
Diversity is a commonly used technique in wireless systems to combat channel fading,
due to the following reasons [25];
(1) The degradation of the transmission quality due to fading cannot simply overcome by
increasing the transmitted power. Even with high transmitted power, when the
channel is in deep fad, the instantaneously received SNR per bit can still be very low,
is resulting a high probability of transmission error.
(2) The power of the reverse link in a wireless system is limited by the battery capacity in
hand-held subscriber units. With diversity the required transmitted power will be
reduced.
(3) Diversity limited the interferences, thus it support addition of more user and hence
increases the capacity of the system.
The physical model assumes the fading to be independent from one element to the next.
Each element, therefore, acts as an independent sample of the random fading process. Our
goal here is to combine these independent samples to achieve the desired goal of increasing
the SNR and reducing the BER. N elements in the receiving antenna array we receive N
independent copies of the same signal. It is unlikely that all N elements are in a deep fade. If
at least one copy has reasonable power, one should conceivably be able to adequately process
the signal.

Coherent Phase modulation with Imperfect Phase
Estimation
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Jitter is an unwanted variation of one or more characteristics of a periodic signal in
electronics and telecommunications. Jitter may be seen in characteristics such as the interval
between successive pulses, or the amplitude, frequency, or phase of successive cycles. Jitter is
a significant factor in the design of almost all communications links.
In digital data communication there is a hierarchy of synchronization problems to be
considered. First, assuming that a carrier-type system is involved, there is the problem of
carrier synchronization which concerns the generation of a reference carrier with a phase
closely matching that of the data signal. This reference carrier is used at the data receiver to
perform a coherent demodulation operation, creating a baseband data signal. Next comes the
problem of synchronizing a receiver clock with the baseband data-symbol sequence. This is
commonly called bit synchronization, even when the symbol alphabet happens not to be
binary. In this thesis only the carrier synchronization is considered [26].
In previous section, it is assumed implicitly that the same clock controlled both the
transmitter and receiver operations. This means that the corresponding events in the
transmitter and receiver are synchronous. In M-ary schemes, most demodulation schemes are
coherent; they make use of the phase information of the carrier. Optimum demodulation
requires then a local carrier at the receiver side whose frequency and phase are in perfect
agreement with that of the transmitted signal. So, two pairs of ideal identical oscillators at the
transmitter and receiver sides could ensure the synchronization. But in practice, the signal
emitted by a pair of oscillators with the same nominal frequency will start drifting from each
other because of their physical inability [27].
Two pairs of oscillators which are used at the transmitter and receiver is suffering from
various factors, like due to temperature variation, device non-linearity, ageing,power supply,
ripple and impulse. For all these reasons the performance of the oscillators degrades.

The degradation of the modulated signal due to imperfect phase can be improved by
sending a pilot tone with the transmitting signal. But for this arrangement, the transmitted
power should, need to be increased, and for the pilot tone the effective bandwidth will
decreases, that is not desirable. During the demodulation the signal power associated with the
pilot tone may result in undesired DC component with practical filters. This may further
degrade the decision process or post problems to the receiver amplifier. Carrier recovery
technique, as PLL can be used. If the signal is distorted enough in the channel, operation of
PLL is suffered from instability and non-linear operations. Also the inherent noise of the PLL
there can be a phase mismatch. In case of wire communication, the phase of the transmitted
signal can be estimated and take corresponding steps to repair the errors. But in wireless
communication, it is very difficult to predict the phase of the incoming signal.

In case of figure (4.4) the BER curve dose not give satisfactory result for the high signal to

is only applicable for the low SNR values. Therefore, the Hermite method of integration is
applied and it gives a good output result for the high SNR values. It is also observed from the

fading channel.

As discussed in the introduction part, PSK signals suffered from the phase distortion or, it
is not possible to predict the exact phase by the receiver. Now we compare PSK with its
counter part DPSK ,for which no oscillator matching or synchronized carrier phase reference
is need. Form figure (4.6) to figure (4.13) it is observed that after a threshold the differential
PSK signals showed better results than the PSK.

From figure (4.8) it is concluded that the performance of the BPSK is better than the DPSK
over Rayleigh Fading channel, but when we considering Phase jitter or SER due to phase
degradation (figure.4.9), after a certain point of High SNR (43dB) it shows worst error
performance than DPSK, and we get a clear cross over point after which BPSK gives
more SER for high SNR.

Conclusions and Future Work
5.1 CONCLUSION
The focus of this thesis is on the mathematical analysis of the M-ary modulation
schemes over AWGN channel and different Fading channel environment. More specifically,
it focuses on the performance analysis of the coherent phase modulation with imperfect phase
estimation.
This thesis begins with an elaborate discussion of the M-ary modulation schemes as, M-
ary Amplitude modulation, M-ary Phase shift keying, M-ary Frequency shift keying, M-ary
Quadrature Amplitude modulation, Differential M-ary phase shift keying with there
Geographic and Baseband representation. It mainly contains the analysis of the probability of
error of the M-ary signals over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. From the
simulation curves and the mathematical analysis of the signals it is observed that as the
number of signals or number ofMincreases (M0, 1, 2,.,M) the error probability or more
clearly the probability of Symbol error rate is increased. It was also observed that the Binary
Frequency Shift Keying is giving the least probability of error over AWGN channel. All this
analysis is very much important for the basic analysis of any communication system, as the
digital M-ary modulation offers much more advantages than other modulation schemes.
In chapter 3, the analysis of Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) and Binary Frequency
Shift Keying (BFSK) is done over Rayleigh, Rician and Nakagami-q (Hoyt) fading channels.
Nakagami-q (Hoyt) Fading is used to model fading environments more severe than Rayleigh
fading, and the signal error rate degradation least in case of Rician Fading channel. The
probability of error is increased in case of BFSK signal in Fading channel, and it showed
worst error performance than the BPSK signal, which is the reveres case if consider the
performance over the AWGN channel.
Finally chapter 4, mainly discussed about effect of imperfect estimation of the Phase at
the receiver in case of the Coherent Phase modulation signals. Here the probability of error

rate is analyzed for the BPSK and QPSK signal with the imperfect phase estimation over
AWGN and Rayleigh Fading channels. As we go through the simulation curves it is observed
that as the phase error was increased the probability of the error rate is increased
simultaneously. Then BPSK and QPSK signals are compared with the Differential Phase
Shift Keying (DPSK) and DQPSK signals. The result showed that over AWGN and Rayleigh
Fading channel the probability of error of the BPSK and QPSK without any phase error is
better than the DPSK and QPSK. But when the analysis is done with the phase error
consideration for the BPSK and QPSK, they gave worse performance than the DPSK and
QPSK. Therefore it is concluded that the DPSK and DQPSK is used more effectively in
wireless communication systems when ever the other modulation schemes suff
