Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) • BPSK also sometimes called PRK, Phase Reversal Keying, or 2PSK.It is the simplest form of phase shift keying (PSK). • It uses two phases which are separated by 180 degrees and so can also be termed 2-PSK. It does not particularly matter exactly where the constellation points are positioned and in this figure they are shown on the real axis, at 0 degrees and 180 degrees. • This modulation is the most robust of all the PSKs since it takes the highest level of noise or distortion to make the demodulator reach an incorrect decision. • It is, however, only able to modulate at 1 bit/symbol and so is unsuitable for high data-rate applications.
Binary phase shift keying implementation
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) • To increase the bit rate, we can code 2 or more bits onto one signal element. • In QPSK, we parallelize the bit stream so that every two incoming bits are split up and PSK a carrier frequency. One carrier frequency is phase shifted 90o from the other in quadrature. • The two PSK signals are then added to produce one of 4 signal elements.

Advantages •
It allows data to be carried along a radio communications signal much more efficiently than with frequent shift keying.
•
Quadrature phase shift keying is another form of data transport where four phase states are used, all within 90 degrees of one another.
Disadvantages
• It is non-coherent reference signal. • It produces more incorrect demodulations because the error can integrate with time since the reference signal for demodulation is not fixed.
Applications
• Optical communications • Local oscillator • Delay-and-add demodulator • Nonlinear effects for WDM-transmission • Multi-channel WDM
