shift keying (PSK) over a Gaussian channel has been studied previously in the literature. A
solution to the problem for systems using a binary reflected Gray code (BRGC) to map bits to
symbols was first presented by PJ Lee (see ibid., vol. COM-34, p. 488-91, 1986). We show
that the results obtained by Lee are incorrect for M/spl ges/16. We show that the reason for
this is an invalid assumption that the bit-error rate (BER) is independent of the transmitted …
