Phase Shift Keying
Phase Shift Keying
(OP)
So we did some experimental measurements at college involving a carrier sine wave of 2Mhz being modulated using 16PSK and 16QAM modulations.
The information wave was a bunch of randomly generated '1' and '0'.
We observed the modulated signal via oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer.
This is what we got...
16PSK (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/825/16pskspec...)
16QAM (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/404/16qamspec...)
Now I get why it's mirror ( cos' of the sums and subs of freq. and what not ... ) and I get the it's centered around 2Mhz (that being the freq. of the carrier wave ) but I don't get why the power (gain or what ever you wonna call it ) is the biggest around that freq. and falls of as we go further away ???
I would really appreciate some insight on that.

RE: Phase Shift Keying
Ok, I didn't mention that our info. wave (signal ... ) had the freq. of 100KHz (very inconvenient for transmission ergo we modulate it into a carrier wave .... ) But shouldn't our modulated signal be mirrored around 2MHz but have the highest power around 100KHz?
P.S. I would greatly appreciate any book suggestions on that topic
