Decomposes the modulated input signal by using two fixed-frequency driven multipliers with outputs are 90° apart, producing values twice as fast a oscillator. Two low-pass filters are also utilized, along with a parallel-to-serial converter which translates the dibits to bits, which are the PCM signal.
Alternative QPSK demodulator
Generates four modified carrier phases of 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° (obtained in the modulator by rotating the angles of the QPSK constellation). An XNOR operation is executed between each phase and if both coincide, the a modulated signal produces a logic "1". If the received phase is 0° (related to dibit 00), all the XNORs are at logic "0." If the phase is 90° (dibit 10), the upper branch is a "1". For 270° (dibit 01) an inversion is observed as logic "1" is produced at the lower branch. In the case of the phase being 180° (dibit 11), a logic "1" is observed on both branches, resulting in a demodulated PCM signal.
A phase-references generator can producee inputs to the XNOR gates.
