Modulation Techniques

Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)


In ASK, the two binary values are represented by to different amplitudes of the carrier frequency The resulting modulated signal for one bit time is
A cos( 2f c t ), binary 1 s (t ) = binary 0 0,

Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK)


The most common form of FSK is Binary FSK (BFSK) Two binary values represented by two different frequencies ( f1 and f2 )
A cos( 2 f 1t ), binary 1 s (t ) = A cos( 2 f 2 t ), binary 0
0 f2 0 f2 1 f1 1 f1 0 f2 1 f1 0 f2 0 f2 0 f2 1 f1 0 f2

Full-Duplex BFSK Transmission on a Voice-Grade line


Voice grade lines will pass voice frequencies in the range 300 to 3400Hz Full duplex means that signals are transmitted in both directions at the same time

less susceptible to noise than ASK used for


up to 1200bps on voice grade lines high frequency radio (3 to 30MHz) even higher frequency on LANs using coaxial cable

Multiple FSK (MFSK)


More than two frequencies (M frequencies) are used More bandwidth efficient compared to BFSK More susceptible to noise compared to BFSK MFSK signal:
s i ( t ) = A cos( 2 f i t ), where f i = f c + ( 2i 1 M ) f d f c = the carrier frequency f d = the difference frequency M = number of different signal elements = 2 L L = number of bits per signal element

Multiple FSK (MFSK)


MFSK signal:
where f i = f c + ( 2i 1 M ) f d M = number of different signal elements = 2 L L = number of bits per signal element s i ( t ) = A cos( 2 f i t ), 1 i M

Period of signal element


T s = LT b , T s : signal element period Tb : bit period

Minimum frequency separation


1 / Ts = 2 f d 1 /( LT b ) = 2 f d 1 / Tb = 2 Lf d ( bit rate )

MFSK signal bandwidth:


W d = M ( 2 f d ) = 2 Mf d
33/45

Example
With fc=250KHz, fd=25KHz, and M=8 (L=3 bits), we have the following frequency assignment for each of the 8 possible 3-bit f i = f c + ( 2i 1 M ) f d data combinations:
000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111 f 1 = 75 KHz f 2 = 125 KHz f 3 = 175 KHz f 4 = 225 KHz f 5 = 275 KHz f 6 = 325 KHz f 7 = 375 KHz f 8 = 425 KHz

Example
The following figure shows an example of MFSK with M=4. An input bit stream of 20 bits is encoded 2bits at a time, with each of the possible 2-bit combinations transmitted as a different frequency. f i = f c + ( 2i 1 M ) f d
00 01 10 11 i =1 i=2 i=3 i=4 f1 = f c 3 f d f2 = fc fd f3 = fc + fd f4 = fc + 3 fd

bandwidth = W s = 2 Mf d = 400 KHz

This scheme can support a data rate of:


1 / Tb = 2 Lf d = 2 ( 3bits )( 25 Hz ) = 150 Kbps

Phase Shift Keying (PSK)


Phase of carrier signal is shifted to represent data Binary PSK (BPSK): two phases represent two binary digits binary 1 A cos( 2 f c t ),
s (t ) = A cos( 2 f c t + ), binary 0 binary 1 A cos( 2 f c t ), = A cos( 2 f c t ), binary 0 = Ad ( t ) cos( 2 f c t ), d (t ) = 1
1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0

Differential PSK (DPSK)


In DPSK, the phase shift is with reference to the previous bit transmitted rather than to some constant reference signal Binary 0:signal burst with the same phase as the previous one Binary 1:signal burst of opposite phase to the preceding one

Four-level PSK: Quadrature PSK (QPSK)


More efficient use of bandwidth if each signal element represents more than one bit
eg. shifts of /2 (90o) each signal element represents two bits split input data stream in two & modulate onto the phase of the carrier

Bit Error Rate (BER)


bit error rate of PSK and QPSK are about 3dB superior to ASK and FSK (see Fig. 5.4) for MFSK & MPSK have tradeoff between bandwidth efficiency and error performance

Performance of MFSK and MPSK


MFSK: increasing M decreases BER and decreases bandwidth Efficiency MPSK: Increasing M increases BER and increases bandwidth efficiency

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)


QAM used on asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) and some wireless standards combination of ASK and PSK logical extension of QPSK send two different signals simultaneously on same carrier frequency
use two copies of carrier, one shifted by 90 each carrier is ASK modulated
