Abstract

A receiver for receiving an analog signal that is digitally modulated using differential binary phase shift keying (DBPSK) and demodulated by a quadrature demodulator into two signals. The receiver converts the two signals into two digital signals using 2-bit analog-to-digital converters. Samples of these digital signals are then encoded according to a maximum likelihood criteria algorithm and decisions are made based on the signal constellation, which identifies the original data transmitted.
