N Chapter 16, we introduced a few of the basic techniques that can be used to generate a
binary phase shift-keying (BPSK) signal. Since there are an unlimited number of different
forms and specifications associated with the generation of a BPSK signal, it should not be
surprising that there are just as many variations of the receiver. In this chapter, we will
only introduce one of these forms and a few of the techniques that can be used to recover
the message contained within the BPSK signal.
Specifically, we will discuss a simplified BPSK receiver that must
1. Recover the carrier and remove its effects ...
