Qpsk bits per symbol

On the I/Q plane, QPSK represents four equally spaced points separated by π/2 (see Figure 4.5). Each of the four possible phases of carriers represents two bits of data. Thus, there are two bits per symbol.

What is QPSK bit rate?

The rate of change (baud) in this signal determines the signal bandwidth, but the throughput or bit rate for QPSK is twice the baud rate. For example, an ITU-T V. 22 modem uses QPSK to send data at 1200 bits per second over a dial-up phone line.

How many symbols are there in QPSK?

QPSK uses four points on the constellation diagram, equispaced around a circle. With four phases, QPSK can encode two bits per symbol, shown in the diagram with Gray coding to minimize the bit error rate (BER) – sometimes misperceived as twice the BER of BPSK.

How many bits is a symbol in BPSK?

BPSK transfers one bit per symbol, which is what we're accustomed to so far.

How many bits is a symbol in DPSK?

M-ary PSK, M-ary QAM, and M-ary differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) achieve the transmission of log₂M(= m) bits per symbol, providing bandwidth-efficient communication.
