Binary PSK (BPSK) code[1] 

Also known as Binary antipodal modulation, Phase-reversal keying (PRK), Antipodal signaling.

Description

Encodes one bit of information into a constellation of antipodal points \(\pm\alpha\) for complex \(\alpha\). These points are typically associated with two phases of an electromagnetic signal.

Rate

Achieve capacity of AGWN in the low signal-to-noise regime [2] (see also [1]). BPSK concatenated with quantum-classical polar codes achieves the Holevo capacity for the AD channel [3].

Realizations

Telephone-line modems throughout 1950s and 1960s: Bell 103 and 202, as well as international standards V.21 [4] and V.23 [5].

Cousins

  • Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) code — BPSK for real \(\alpha\) is the simplest non-trivial PAM encoding.
  • Linear binary code — Concatenating binary linear codes with BPSK yields a standard way of digitizing the analog AGWN channel [6; Ch. 29].
  • Two-component cat code — BPSK (two-component cat) codes are used to transmit classical (quantum) information using (superpositions of) antipodal coherent states over classical (quantum) channels.
  • Polar c-q code — BPSK concatenated with quantum-classical polar codes achieves the Holevo capacity for the AD channel [3].
  • Binary antipodal code — A binary antipodal code can be thought of as a concatenation of a binary outer code with a BPSK inner code.
  • Binary balanced spherical code — A binary balanced spherical code can be thought of as a concatenation of a constant-weight binary outer code with a shifted and scaled BPSK-like inner code.
  • BPSK c-q code — BPSK (BPSK c-q) codes are used to transmit classical information using antipodal coherent states over classical (quantum) channels.
  • Hadamard BPSK c-q code — The Hadamard BPSK c-q code can be thought of as a concatenation of the Hadamard binary linear code with BPSK for the purposes of transmission of classical information over quantum channels.
