Re: BPSK tutorial

[Barry Duggan]

Javier,

It can be very confusing! First, you need to work through every step of 
the https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/Guided_Tutorial_PSK_Demodulation 
(QPSK) tutorial. It uses 2 bit symbols and 4 samples per symbol.

The BPSK tutorial uses 1 bit symbols and 4 samples per symbol. The 
difference between QPSK and BPSK is the number of bits per symbol. In 
both cases, the Constellation Modulator block uses all 8 input bits. 
Note that the Constellation Object is different between QPSK and BPSK.

Then you need to build a new flowgraph for the 
https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/Simulation_example:_BPSK_Demodulation#Decoding

As you can see in the BPSK stage6 flowgraph, the CMA Equalizer is 
optional under your conditions. I left it out of the BPSK to simplify 
the flowgraph.

P.S. Please Cc discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org in your responses so that it is 
included in the discussion thread.
