Constellation Mapper for 4D-8PSK-TCM 3.3.7.2.3
The constellation mapper principles are given in next figures for the four possible efficiencies of this
modulation (i.e., 2 bits/channel-symbol, 2.25 bits/channel-symbol, 2.5 bits/channel-symbol and 2.75
bits/channel-symbol). These mappers implement the straightforward logical mapping described in the
equations below. The correspondence between the signals Z
(i)
at the input of the modular and the
8PSK phase states of the constellations follows a natural mapping (i.e., 0, 1, 2 …, 7).
If Z
(i)
represents the signals (three lines) at the input of the modulator with Z
(0)
being the signal set of
the first constellation and Z
(3)
being the signal set of the fourth constellation, the signal set Z
(i)
is
represented by the following equation. This representation shows that the bits which are common to
each vector set (shown in the first part of right-hand side of each equation) are sensitive to a phase
rotation of /4 and will be differentially encoded.
