Modulate using the M-ary differential phase shift keying method
Library
PM, in Digital Passband sublibrary of Modulation
Description
The M-DPSK Modulator Passband block modulates using the M-ary differential phase shift keying method. The output is a passband representation of the modulated signal. The M-ary number parameter, M, is the number of possible output symbols that can immediately follow a given output symbol.
This block uses the baseband equivalent block, M-DPSK Modulator Baseband, for internal computations and converts the resulting baseband signal to a passband representation. The following parameters in this block are the same as those of the baseband equivalent block:
The input must be sample-based. If the Input type parameter is Bit, then the input must be a vector of length log2(M). If the Input type parameter is Integer, then the input must be a scalar.
Parameters Specific to Passband Simulation
Passband simulation uses a carrier signal. The Carrier frequency and Carrier initial phase parameters specify the frequency and initial phase, respectively, of the carrier signal. The Symbol period parameter must equal the sample time of the input signal, while the Output sample time parameter determines the sample time of the output signal.
This block uses a baseband representation of the modulated signal as an intermediate result during internal computations. The Baseband samples per symbol parameter indicates how many baseband samples correspond to each integer or binary word in the input, before the block converts them to a passband output.
The timing-related parameters must satisfy these relationships:
Furthermore, Carrier frequency is typically much larger than the highest frequency of the unmodulated signal.
