Noise-Resilient QPSK Modem for Reliable Communication for Green Communication
Abstract: The channel noise is the severely degraded the performance of communication system and that also limits the maximum data transmission rate. Hence, it is required to design a demodulator in a receiver which overcomes the effect of noise in the received signal, reconstructs un-corrupted information signal and improves data rate. In QPSK, noise effect the phase of the modulated signal and that causes error in the information signal. This study …
