Quadrature PSK (QPSK) code[1]
Also known as Quadriphase PSK code, 4-PSK code, 4-QAM code.
Description
A quaternary encoding into a constellation of four points distributed equidistantly on a circle. For the case of \(\pi/4\)-QPSK, the constellation is \(\{e^{\pm i\frac{\pi}{4}},e^{\pm i\frac{3\pi}{4}}\}\).
Realizations
Japanese and North American digital cellular and personal systems [2].Telephone-line modems: 1962 Bell 201 and international standard V.24 [3].
Parents
- Phase-shift keying (PSK) code — The QPSK is also known as 4-PSK.
- Biorthogonal spherical code — The QPSK is equivalent to the biorthogonal spherical code for \(n=2\).
