PSK31 was developed by Peter Martinez (G3PLX) and introduced to the amateur community in December 1998. PSK31 was also known as Varicode Mode (Variable Number of Bits) From the perspective of the transmitter, this amounts to little more than somebody whistling into the microphone. PSK31 rapidly shifts the phase of the audio signal between two states. These shifts serve the same function as two FSK tones traditionally used by RTTY. Instead of shifting frequency we’re shifting phase. PSK31s bandwidth of 31.25?Hz was chosen because a normal typing speed of about 50 words per minute requires a bit rate of about 32 bits per second (1Bit/Hz). PSK31’s 31.25?Hz can be derived from the 8?KHz sample rate used by the DSP chips in computer sound cards What is PSK31? PSK 31 vs. RTTY The chart at the right shows the BIT Error Rate (BER) as a function of Signal-to-Noise ratio in a noiseless environment. Note: BER is the number of BIT’s received in error. For example, a BER of 10-5 is 1 erroneous BIT received in error out of 100,000. For Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratios greater than 10 dB, PSK-31 is virtually error free. S/N=10Log(Power of the Signal ÷ Power of the Noise). In other terms, if the noise level is 1uV then you need 3.16uV for 10dB S/N At poor S/N ratios the BER of PSK-31 is five times better than RTTY Note the curve that represents QPSK-31. PSK31 - Real World Performance The power in a PSK-31 signal is concentrated in a 31.25 Hz bandwidth versus 250 Hz (BW not frequency shift) for RTTY and 3300 Hz for SSB. Assuming 100 watts of transmit power, the PSK-31 signal has 3.2 watts/Hz vs. 30mW/Hz for SSB. If a signal provides 20 dB S/N ratio at the receiver using SSB, the same S/N ratio is achieved with 8W using RTTY and only 1W using PSK-31! Lower Case characters are more efficient than upper case due to Varicode (not to b
