Digital Modulation
Digital transmission OR Digital modulation(DM) is transmittal
of digital pulses b/w 2 points in comm. Sys
1
Analog modulation→ info signal analog
Applications
1. Low speed voice band data communication (modem)
2. High speed data transmission systems broad band digital
subscriber lines (DSL)
3. Digital microwave & satellite systems
4. Cellular telephone
2
Pre-coder: performs level conversion & then encodes
incoming data into groups of bits that modulate analog carrier
3
BW of Comm Sys is min. PB required to propagate source
info through system BW
4
M-ary Encoding
M-ary is term derived from word "binary"
“M” simply a digit that represents no. of conditions possible ,
levels or combinations for given no. of binary variables
5
Fig. Data rate is indicated in bits per second (bits/s).
Baud Rate
The term “baud” originates from French engineer Emile
Baudot, who invented the 5-bit teletype code
Baud rate refers to no.of signal or symbol changes occur / sec
6
Baud refer to rate of change of a signal on transmission
medium after encoding & modulation occurred
Baud is a unit of transmission rate , modulation rate
, symbol rate or symbols per second
Baud is reciprocal of time of one o/p signaling element
𝟏
baud = 𝒕
𝒔
where baud - - - symbol rate /sec
𝒕𝒔 - - - time of one signaling element
Baud is transmitted one at time & more than one info. bit
In binary systems ( FSK & PSK ) baud & bps are equal
In higher systems (QPSK & 8-PSK) bps always < than baud
7
Above formula re-arranged to solve for minimum BW
necessary to pass M-ary digitally modulated carrier as follow
𝒇
B = (𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒃 𝑴)
𝟐
If N is substituted for 𝒍𝒐𝒈𝟐 M eq. reduce to
𝒇
B = 𝑵𝒃
“ N” is no. of bits encoded into each signaling element
Bit rate – refers to rate of change of digital information
which is usually binary
Baud – refers to rate of change of a signal on a
transmission medium after encoding and modulation
have occurred.
Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)
Simplest DM technique → ASK, Where binary info. signal
directly modulates ampl of analog carrier
ASK similar to standard AM except 2 o/p’s amplitudes
ASK also called digital amplitude modulation (DAM)
Mathematically
𝑨
𝑽𝒂𝒔𝒌 (t) = [ 1 + 𝑽𝒎 (t) ][ 𝟐 cos ( 𝝎𝒄 t) ]
Where
𝑽𝒂𝒔𝒌 (t) = ASK wave
𝑽𝒎 (t) = digital information modulation signal (volts)
8
A/2 = un-modulated carrier amplitude (volts)
𝝎𝒄 = analog carrier radian frequency (radian /second , 2𝝅𝒇𝒄 t)
In above modulating signal 𝑽𝒎 (t) a normalized binary WF
where +1V = logic 1 & -1V = logic 0
For a logic 1 input, 𝑽𝒎 (t) = +1V, & reduces to
𝑨
𝑽𝒂𝒔𝒌 (t) = [ 1 + 𝟏 ][ cos ( 𝝎𝒄 t) ] => Acos ( 𝝎𝒄 t)
𝟐

FSK ia simple, low performance type of DM
FSK is form of constant ampl angle –modulation similar to
FM, except modulating signal is binary signal varies b/w 2
discrete voltage levels rather continuously changing
analog WF
FSK called → BFSK (binary FSK)
General expression for FSK is
10
𝑽𝒇𝒔𝒌 (t) = 𝑽𝒄 cos 2𝝅[𝒇𝒄 - ∆f ) t ]
With binary FSK carrier center freq. (𝒇𝒄 ) shifted(deviated) up
& down in freq. domain by binary i/p signal as shown in fig
Binary i/p signal changes from logic 0 → logic 1 & vice versa
o/p freq shifts b/w 2 frequencies mark & space , logic 1
freq (𝒇𝒎 ) & logic 0 freq (𝒇𝒔 )
Mark & space frequencies are separated from 𝒇𝒄 by peak
freq. deviation (∆f ) & from each other by 2∆f
With binary FSK, 𝒇𝒄 is shifted(deviated) up & down in freq.
domain by binary i/p signal as shown in fig
11
Frequency deviation in fig expressed mathematically as
|𝒇 −𝒇 |
∆f = 𝒎𝟐 𝒔
|𝒇𝒎 − 𝒇𝒔 | - - - absolute diff b/w mark & space frequencies
Fig (a) shows time domain, binary i/p to FSK modulator & FSK
o/p. Fig (b) shows truth table for binary FSK modulator
B = |(𝒇𝒔 − 𝒇𝒃 ) − (𝒇𝒎 − 𝒇𝒃 )|
= |𝒇𝒔 − 𝒇𝒎 | + 2𝒇𝒃
Since |𝒇𝒔 − 𝒇𝒎 | equals 2∆𝒇𝒔 , minimum BW can approximated
B = 2(∆f + 𝒇𝒃 )
B - - - minimum Nyquist BW
∆f - - - frequency deviation |𝒇𝒔 − 𝒇𝒎 |
12
𝒇𝒃 - - - input bit rate(bps)
FSK Transmitter
13
Non Coherent FSK Receiver
FSK i/p signal is simultaneously applied to i/p of both BPF
through power splitter
Respective filters passes only mark or space freq. to
respective detector envelop
14
(no freq , involved in demod process that is synchronized
either in phase , freq. or both with incoming FSK signal )
Coherent FSK Rx
15
Disadvantage
Required synchronization ckt& more expensive to implement
Phase Shift Keying
Another form of angle modulated constant amplitude - DM
PSK is M-ary – DM similar to PM except with PSK i/p is binary
digital signal & limited no. of o/p phases
I/p binary info is encoded into groups of bits before
modulating carrier
No. of bits in group ranges from 1 to 12 or more
No. of o/p phase is defined by “ M “& no of bits in group “ N “
Binary Phase Shift Keying
Simplest form of PSK is BPSK where N= 1 & M= 2
With B-PSK two phases ( 𝟐𝟏 = 2 ) are possible for carrier , one
phase represents a logic 1 and other phase represent logic 0
16
I/p digital signal changes state from 1 → 0 or from 0 → 1
phase of o/p carrier shifts b/w two angles separated by 180º
Other names for BPSK are phase reversal keying (PRK) & bi-
phase modulation
B-PSK is form of sq. wave modulation of continuous
wave (CW) signal
BPSK Transmitter
Simplified block diagram of a BPSK 𝑻𝑿
17
BM act as phase reversing switch , depending on logic
condition of digital i/p the carrier is transferred to o/p either
in phase or 180º out of phase with reference carrier oscillator
Remaining working self study by students
Constellation diagram
Fig shows truth table, phase diagram & constellation diagram
for a BPSK modulator
Constellation diagram also called signal state space diagram
similar to phasor diagram except that entire phasors is not
drawn
In constellation diagram only relative positions of peaks of
phasors are shown
18
Fig shows o/p phase vs time relationship for BPSK WF
19
Logic “1” i/p produce an analog o/p signal with 180º phase
angle
Binary i/p shifts b/w logic 1 & logic 0 & vice versa , phase of
BPSK
WF shifts b/w 0º & 180º respectively

QPSK Receiver

The recovered car. must be freq. & phase coherent with

O/p of detector fed to ckt from “ I ” & “ Q ” data ch. to single
binary o/p data stream
Incoming QPSK may be any 1 of 4 o/p phase as shown in fig
24
For de-modulation QPSK signal will be
− sin 𝝎𝒄 t + cos 𝝎𝒄 t
Receive QPSK signal (− sin 𝝎𝒄 t + cos 𝝎𝒄 t ) is one of the i/p to

Bit rate is 𝟑
Bits in “I” & “ Q ” enters “ I ” ch 2 to 4 level converter & bits in
“ Q ” & “ C ” channels enter “ Q ” channel 2 to 4 level

27
2 to 4 level converters are parallel - input DACs
“I ” & “ Q ” determines polarity of o/p analog signal
(logic 1= +V & logic 0 = -V)
̅ bit determines magnitude
Where “ C ” or 𝑪
(logic 1 = 1.307 V & logic 0 = 0.541 V)
28
For tribit input of Q= 0, 1 and C(000), determine the output
phase for the 8-PSK modulator as shown fig 9.23
Sol //
The i/p’s to “ I ” ch. 2-to-4 level converter are I = 0 & C = 0
from TT the o/p = -0.541V
̅ =1 again the o/p = -1.307V
The i/p’s to “Q” = 0 and 𝑪
Thus 2 i/p to “Q” ch. product modulator are -0.541V and 𝐢𝐧 𝝎𝒄
. The o/p is
I= (-0.541)( 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝝎𝒄 𝒕) = -0.541 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝝎𝒄 𝒕
The 2 i/p to “ Q ” ch. product modulator are
-1.307V and 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝝎𝒄 𝒕
The output is
Q= (-1.307)( 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝝎𝒄 𝒕) =-1.307 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝝎𝒄 𝒕
The output of “ I ” & “ Q ” ch. product modulator=s are
combined in linear summer & produce a modulated o/p

8-PSK Receiver

The o/p of product detector are 4- level PAM signals
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
QAM is form of DM similar to PSK except digital information
is contained in both amplitude & phase of transmitted carrier
With QAM ampl & PSK are combined that positions of
signaling elements on constellation diagram are
30
optimized to achieve greatest distance b/w elements &
reducing errors occurring
8-QAM is M-Ary encoding technique where M=8 unlike 8-PSK,
o/p from an 8-QAM modulator is not a constant ampl. Signal

“ C ” fed un-inverted to both “ I ” & “ Q ” Ch.2 to 4 level
converters. Magnitude of “ I ” & “ Q ” PAM signals are always
equal shown in fig b
Bandwidth Efficiency
BW efficiency (called information density or spectral
efficiency) is often used to compare the performance of one
DM technique to another.
BW efficiency is the ratio of transmission bit rate to the
minimum BW reqd. for particular modulation scheme
BW efficiency “𝑩𝜼 ” is normalized to 1Hz BW & indicates no. of
bits that can propagated through transmission medium for
each hertz of BW. Mathematically BW efficiency is
