T h i s p a p e r considers t h e expansion of a well known four-dimensional Quadrature-Quadrature Phase-ShiR Keying (Q2PSK) signalling scheme by introducing multiple amplitudes and/or phases p e r dimension to increase t h e effective data throughput rate and spectral effix i e n c y of the former system. T h e performance of the n e w multi-level Q'PSK modulation schemes, denoted by Quadrature-Q u a d r a t u r e A m p l i t ude-P hase-S hift Keying ( Q 2 A P S K ) , is compared to the original Q*PSK modulation scheme, as well as to conventional two-dimensional QPSK and QAM modulation strategies under realistic bandlimiting conditions in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise. T h e performance comparisons are made in terms of spectral efficiency (or data throughput rate) versus symbol error probabilities. The results presented exhibit an expected signal to noise penalty for Q2APSK compared t o modulation schemes with two levels p e r dimension, .such as QPSK and Q'PSK, but with a considerable increase in spectral efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
