8PSK
8PSK (8 Phase Shift Keying) is a phase modulation algorithm.
Phase modulation is a version of frequency modulation where the phase of the carrier wave is modulated to encode bits of digital information in each phase change.
The “PSK” in 8PSK refers to the use of Phased Shift Keying. Phased Shift Keying is a form of phase modulation which is accomplished by the use of a discrete number of states. 8PSK refers to PSK with 8 sates. With half that number of states, you will have QPSK. With twice the number of states as 8PSK, you will have 16PSK.
Because QPSK has 8 possible states 8PSK is able to encode three bits per symbol.
8PSK is less tolerant of link degradation than QPSK, but provides more data capacity.

- QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying)
QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) is a phase modulation algorithm. Phase modulation is a frequency modulation version where the carrier wave’s phase is modulated to encode bits of digital information in each phase change. The “PSK” in QPSK refers to the use of Phased Shift Keying. Phased Shift Keying is a form of phase modulation [...]...
- Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is a complicated name for a simple technique. In the simplest of terms, Quadrature amplitude modulation is the combination of amplitude modulation and phase shift keying. More technically, quadrature amplitude modulation is a system of modulation in which data is transferred by modulating the amplitude of two separate carrier waves, mostly [...]...
- Symbol Rate
The symbol rate is the rate of state changes on a communications circuit. If a circuit can carry two tones per second, the circuit has a symbol rate of two. Circuits then use different modulation techniques to carry multiple bits per symbol. If the circuit is limited to two different tones, the first tone can [...]...
- FSK (Frequency Shift Keying)
FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) is also known as frequency shift modulation and frequency shift signaling. Frequency Shift Keying is a data signal converted into a specific frequency or tone in order to transmit it over wire, cable, optical fiber or wireless media to a destination point. The history of FSK dates back to the early [...]...
- PSK (Phased Shift Keying)
Digital modulation is no new concept. Programmers and people working in today’s technological field know it for sure, as they have been using certain modulation techniques to transmit data digitally. However, several techniques are available for techies to choose from, and out of three popular digital modulation options, the PSK or Phase Shift Keying tops [...]...
Many thanks. this is a very good info for newbies on this kind of technology
