1. What is binary phase shift keying? What are the advantages of QPSK.
Ans: Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) is a digital modulation scheme that uses two distinct
phase states (0° and 180°) to represent binary data. It is simple and robust with good noise
immunity.
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) offers advantages such as higher data rates (since it
transmits two bits per symbol), better bandwidth efficiency, and improved noise performance.
Ans: Digital modulation involves encoding digital information onto a carrier signal for
transmission. Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) combines both amplitude and phase
variations of a carrier wave to encode data, allowing for higher data rates and improved spectral
efficiency.
4. Why is FSK and PSK signals are preferred over ASK signals.
Ans: FSK and PSK signals are preferred over ASK signals because they offer better noise immunity and
reliability. FSK is less susceptible to amplitude noise since it uses frequency changes, while PSK is robust
against both amplitude and frequency noise due to phase variations.
