What is QPSK modulation?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. Modulation in which digital data is transmitted using 0-, 90-, 180- and 270-degrees phase shift to represent pairs of bits
QPSK (quadrature phase shift keying) uses four phase shifts, 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees, each representing a pair of bits. That sends two bits per symbol.
Tip: Quadrature = four phases, two bits each.
