What is QPSK?

[Gary Z]

I have heard the term but have no idea what it is?

QPSK is a way of modulation a signal.

Thanks... I assume our standard DVB receivers decode this?

You guy's do realize that wikipedia is just someones opinion...

 

[Peter Parker]

But it often has articles that provide pretty clear explanations. You have to be careful but it does servea purpose.

Not really. I heard an interview with the founder. He said there are a lot of monitors that make sure the information posted is correct.

Wikipedia has been shown to include errors of fact or omission. I use Wikipedia for a general understanding of the subject content, then move on to other sources to see what seems to stack-up (i.e., general consensus). Often the links included in the Wikipedia articles are a good place to start. I think Wikipedia is a great, easy-to-access resource for many situations, but I would never bet the farm on ANYTHING in there. IOW, when it really counts, get a second (or more!) opinion...
