Calculates the maximum possible peak amplitude, after pulse-shape filtering and resampling, of a waveform for the PSK modulation scheme.

## PSK system parameters

Parameter values defining the PSK system. Wire this parameter to the corresponding system parameters cluster of MT Modulate PSK, MT Demodulate PSK, or MT Detect PSK.

### samples per symbol

Number of samples per symbol in the modulated output complex waveform. For error-free operation, the samples per symbol value must be an even number.

Default: 16

### symbol map

An ordered array that maps each Boolean symbol to its desired coordinates in the complex plane. The number of PSK states in the array must be 2 N , where N is the number of bits per symbol.

### differential PSK

Status of the differential PSK.

 disable Disables bit sequence encoding. enable Enables bit sequence encoding.

Default: enable

### PSK type

Type of PSK modulation.

 normal Sets the modulation type to regular PSK. shifted Rotates the constellation by $\pi$/M each symbol. offset Sets the modulation type to offset quadrature phase-shift keying (OQPSK). This modulation scheme is a form of phase-shift keying in which four different phase angles are used. This scheme is sometimes referred to as staggered quadrature phase-shift keying (SQPSK). For offset PSK, the ideal symbol timing for Q is offset by 1/2 of a symbol period from the ideal symbol timing for I. offset is currently only supported for M= 4.

Default: normal

## pulse shaping filter coefficients

An ordered array of filter coefficients corresponding to the desired filter response for the pulse-shaping filter used in modulation. The number of coefficients depends on the pulse-shaping filter characteristics specified in the pulse-shaping filter. Refer to MT Generate Filter Coefficients for more information about pulse-shaping filter coefficients.

## error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs. The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Default: no error

## waveform scaling factor

Inverse of the maximum amplitude of the I/Q waveform based on the specified system parameters.

For the frequency modulation schemes (FSK, MSK, and CPM), there is no known analytical method to calculate the maximum amplitude that accounts for effects such as resampling, filtering, and so on. Empirically, a waveform scaling factor of 0.8 should be sufficient for most of your applications. This value results in a maximum dynamic range loss of about 2 dB on third-party (non-NI) RF signal generator devices.
