N Chapter 18, we introduced a few of the basic techniques that can be used to generate
a QPSK signal. Since there are an unlimited number of different forms and specifications
associated with the generation of a QPSK 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
a QPSK signal.
Specifically, we will discuss a QPSK receiver that will:
1. Remove the majority of the frequency translating effects of the signal’s carrier ...
