Modulation and Demodulation Techniques
BPSK Modulation
BPSK is a digital modulation
scheme where the information
is encoded in the phase of the
carrier signal. It is a simple yet
effective technique for reliable
data transmission.
BPSK Demodulation
The demodulation process
involves detecting the phase of
the received signal and
mapping it to the
corresponding binary data.
This is typically done using a
coherent detection technique.
OFDM Waveform
OFDM divides the available
spectrum into multiple
orthogonal subcarriers,
allowing for high-speed data
transmission with improved
spectral efficiency and
resilience to multipath
interference.
OFDM Waveform Generation
Subcarrier Mapping
1
The input data is mapped onto the available subcarriers, each carrying a portion of
the overall information.

IFFT Transformation
2
The time-domain OFDM signal is generated by performing an Inverse Fast Fourier
Transform (IFFT) on the subcarrier data.

Cyclic Prefix Addition

3
A cyclic prefix is added to the OFDM symbol to mitigate the effects of multipath
interference and maintain orthogonality.
BPSK Modulation and Demodulation
BPSK Modulation
In BPSK modulation, the binary data is
encoded using two phase states, typically
0° and 180°, representing the binary values
0 and 1, respectively.
BPSK Demodulation
The demodulation process involves
detecting the phase of the received signal
and mapping it to the corresponding binary
data using a decision threshold.

Advantages
BPSK is a simple and robust modulation technique that provides good performance in terms of
energy efficiency and bit error rate, making it suitable for various wireless applications.

OFDM Waveform Generation

The BPSK-modulated data is then used to generate the OFDM waveform, which is
transmitted over the wireless channel.

OFDM Demodulation
At the receiver, the OFDM waveform is demodulated to recover the individual subcarriers.

BPSK Demodulation
Finally, the BPSK-modulated data is demodulated to retrieve the original source
