This is the circuit I'm going to build,
From a main oscillator of frequency (fm), a frequency divider (IC1A) supplies values of fm/2, fm/8, and fm/16. Acceptable values of fm depend on the selected CMOS technology. The circuit has been tested at fm = 2 MHz with basic CMOS logic, and at 20 MHz with HCMOS.

Dibits are formed from a digital input (PCM signal) in shift register IC2B, and in the dual flip-flop IC3. The different phases of 0º, 90º, 180º, and 270º are produced at outputs QA, QB, QC, and QD of the four-bit shift register, IC2A.

Finally, the dibits (on pins A and B of IC4) control the multiplexer (data selector) output. This is a selected phase from D0, D1, D2, or D3, according to the dibit combinations. The rest of the circuit is a simple band-pass filter that eliminates dc levels and shapes the pulse, plus an amplifier to set the desired output level. The QPSK output frequency is fm/8.

New Topic

My research topic about WiMAX now has changed because of something. And now I'm trying to start my new research about Power Line Communication.
This technology isn't a new technology, but it's been founded by 1920. But for that time, the communication only for KWh meter or other measurement tools. And for now this technology has been used to connect computers to worldwide web.
At this research I'll make my own modem, with my research group I'm trying to implement a telephone using power line cables.
