TERNARY MODULATION USING INTER-OPERABLE TRANSMITTERS AND RECEIVERS

Abstract:

A ternary phase shift keying transmitter and receiver can efficiently communicate using ternary encoded data that avoids indistinguishable transition curves for each of the three modulated states in the ternary encoded data. The transmitter is interoperable and can function with different types of receivers including direct detection-based receivers and coherent detection-based receivers.
