G8A06

Which of the following is characteristic of QPSK31?

  • A.It is sideband sensitive
  • B.Its encoding provides error correction
  • C.Its bandwidth is approximately the same as BPSK31
  • D.All these choices are correct (correct answer)

WhyQPSK31 is sideband sensitive, its encoding provides error-correction-like redundancy, and its bandwidth is approximately the same as BPSK31. QPSK31 depends on which sideband it's demodulated relative to (making it sideband sensitive), its four-phase encoding scheme provides built-in error-correction-like redundancy that plain BPSK31 lacks, and its symbol rate, and therefore its occupied bandwidth, is essentially the same as BPSK31's since only the phase-state count differs, so all three statements are true, answer D. Since A, B, and C are each individually accurate, the complete answer has to include all of them.
