Dear Andy, Wolf, LF Group,

 

But what effect does an error in the bit clock have, i.e. if the period of each bit is not exactly 32ms?

 

Cheers, Jim Moritz

As PSK31 uses differential coding, it is the phase change over the 32ms signalling period due to freqeuncy error that is important.  If for BPSK, we need to maintain the phase to less than 90 degrees to remove the ambiguity, so 90/360 / 32ms = 7.8Hz freq error permissible.

 

For noisy signals, the determination of correct phase becomes worse, so error rate will progressively worsen with tuning error.
