such that the bit period is 1 and the carrier frequency is 20, next 5. How does this affect the
functionality?

8. Built in the DPSK modulator shown in the figure below

Compare the data signal (1) with the differentially encoded one (2). What can you observe?
Considering that the modulation / demodulation process in performed in ideal way (no delats, jitter, etc
) implement the baseband DPSK demodulator like in figure below

Compare the original data -take from the subsistem point (1) with the recovered one. Comment the
results.
