Theory: PSK is the digital modulation technique in which the phase of the carrier signal is
changed by varying the sine and cosine inputs at a particular time. PSK technique is widely
used for wireless LANs, bio-metric, contactless operations, along with RFID and Bluetooth
communications.
BPSK Modulator
The block diagram of Binary Phase Shift Keying consists of the balance modulator which has
the carrier sine wave as one input and the binary sequence as the other input. Following is the
diagrammatic representation.
The modulation of BPSK is done using a balance modulator, which multiplies the two signals
applied at the input. For a zero binary input, the phase will be 0° and for a high input, the
phase reversal is of 180°.
Following is the diagrammatic representation of BPSK Modulated output wave along with its
given input.
BPSK Demodulator
The block diagram of BPSK demodulator consists of a mixer with local oscillator circuit, a
bandpass filter, a two-input detector circuit. The diagram is as follows.
In the next stage of demodulation, the bit clock rate is needed at the detector circuit to
produce the original binary message signal. If the bit rate is a sub-multiple of the carrier
frequency, then the bit clock regeneration is simplified. To make the circuit easily
understandable, a decision-making circuit may also be inserted at the 2nd stage of detection.
