We simulate Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) with amplitude modulation and mixer based
demodulation. The modulated signal is synthesized by using an upsampled random bipolar bit
stream, modulated by a carrier wave and then sent through a bandpass channel and corrupted by
Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Assuming no phase error, the modulated signal is
demodulated using a mixer configuration. Because the binary signal is bipolar, the resulting
modulation is equivalent to phase modulation by 0 or . Both input and output signals are
analyzed for bandwidth and noise distribution. The goal is to reproduce the figures and
processing presented in this document using MATLAB. The signal length is N; number of bits is
Nbit; Standard Deviation is STD and carrier frequency is kc.

N=10000;
Nbit=8;%300;
Nsample=floor(N/Nbit);
STD=0.1;%0.5;
kc=4*Nbit;
kcutoff=kc/4;
Nbin=100;
n=1:Nbin;
Note that there are “Nsample” sample values for each bit. Hence the system is upsampled by
Nsample to simulate continuous time or what we call pseudo-continuous time. The noise level is
controlled by STD which is effectively the standard deviation of the Gaussian noise. The carrier
frequency is “kc” and “kcutoff” is used for both the channel bandwidth and the demodulator
lowpass filter cutoff frequency. We separate the received “1” and “0” values and estimate their
probability density functions for two experiments:
Case 1: Use Nbit=8 and STD=0.1.
Case 2: Use Nbit=300 and STD=0.5.
1. BinarySequenceSynthesis
Generate Nbit random bits using a the pseudo-random generater rand() such that
1
% Random Binary Signal
wb=rand(1,Nbit);
bits=binarize(wb);
The vector wb is has only one sample per bit which is not a good model for continuous time so
we upsample using a kronecker product such that.
ub=ones(1,Nsample);
bk=kron(bits,ub);
where bk is length Nb = Nsample x Nbit which might be less than N. So to make sure we have a
signal N long we first generate a zero vector N long and then we move bk into it which
effectively zero pads any mismatch in length.
b=zeros(1,N);
Nb=Nsample*Nbit;
t=1:N;
b(1:Nb)=bk(1:Nb); %Force signal to be N samples long
% turn signal into a bipolar non-return to zero signal
b=2*(b-0.5);
The result along with the BPSK modulation is shown in the next section.
2. BPSKModulationforshift.
BPSK modulation with  phase shift is achieved by first generating a discrete cosine wave and
then elementwise multiplying it by the upsampled bipolar binary signal sequence b such that
% modulate
sc=cos(2*pi*kc*t/N); % carrier signal
s=b.*sc;
To plot out both the binary signal and the modulated signal in the same plot, and store a jpeg
image of this result, the matlab code is:

where t is an integer index for sequence of length N and carrier frequency fc = kc/N.
3. ChannelModelandSignalAnalysis
The channel is a lowpass model with Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) on its output.
The lowpass component forces a bandlimited “baseband” onto the otherwise infinite bandwidth
BPSK signal. The model is shown in Fig. 3.1.

The MATLAB code to perform the bandpass component is:
% form bandpass filter
Norder=10; % filter order
fmax=N/2; % required variable
K=1; % filter gain
% kcutoff is the bandwidth of the bandpass filter
% where kc is center frequency
% band pass filter

For a low number of bits, the input and output spectra are difficult to see because they are so low
frequency as shown in Fig. 3.2.

To generate the pseudo-random AWGN sequence we use randn() in MATLAB and add to the
signal r0(t) such that

4. DemodulationandSignalAnalysis
We will use a mixer followed by a low pass filter to demodulate the BPSK signal as shown in
Fig. 4.1. Only one mixer is needed because the phase modulation is  which means that a “1” bit
will demodulate to a 1 and a “0” bit will demodulate to -1. A mixer multiplies the received signal
with a replica of the carrier signal which must be in phase with the modulated carrier. The
multiplication creates what is known as a baseband and two frequency translated replicas of the
baseband centered at +/- 2kc frequencies. So to reconstruct the signal we simply low pass filter
the multiplier output with a cutoff around kcutoff. Mathematically this is
rb t   r t  cos2  k c t N * h LP t 

The MATLAB code for the demodulator is
%% DEMODULATION USING A MIXER
sref=sc; % reference signal
% mix the reference with the input
r1=r.*sref;
% form reconstruction filter
% filter with some recommended parameters
Norder=8;fmax=N/2;K=8; % filter gain
[f H]=lp_butterworth_oN_dft(kcutoff,K,fmax,N,Norder);
% filter signal through channel via frequency domain
R1=fft(r1);R=R1.*H;
rb=real(ifft(R));
To detect “0” and “1” bits separately, we do not want to sample the bit boundaries else we would
get errors from the transitions. So we define binary windows within the bit boundaries, one for
the “1” detection and the other for the “0” detection.
% define sampling region for detector
ueye=zeros(1,Nsample);
ueye(1,floor(Nsample/4):floor(3*Nsample/4))=1;
bkeye=kron(bits,ueye);
bkeyenot=kron((1-bits),ueye);
beye=zeros(1,N);
beyenot=zeros(1,N);
beye(1:Nb)=bkeye(1:Nb); %Force signal to be N samples long
beyenot(1:Nb)=bkeyenot(1:Nb); %Force signal to be N samples long
where beye is within the one boundaries and beyenot is within the zero boundaries. All these
signals are shown in Fig. 4.1
