"Coding > Phase Differential/INMARSAT" correspond to system standards Inmarsat-M
and DVB according to ETS 300 429. You can use INMARSAT coding for modulation
types with 2 bits/symbol, such as QPSK.
Examples
The following examples illustrate how some of the different common coding schemes
combined with a modulation method influence the signal.
Example: Differential coding for QPSK modulation with K = 2 bit/symbol
Decimal display; the value range for modulation symbols is a
n
= {0, 1, 2, 3}
According to Table 5-14 and for k = 2, the recursive coding is defined as b
n
= (a
n
+ b
–1
)
modulo 4
Depending on the state of a preceding modulation symbol b
–1
, the coded modulation
symbol b
n
is obtained, for example, from modulation symbol a
n
= 2 as follows:
b
–1
0 1 2 3
b
n
2 3 0 1
With differential coding, the assignment of modulation symbols a
n
(binary indication:
MSB, LSB) to the phase differences shown in the following table is generated:
