Can be considered as
varying certain
characteristics of the
carrier signal;
according to the
modulating signal
which is the signal to
be transmitted
x(t)=Acos(wct+)
Detection
Process of symbol decision
Coherent detection:
receiver uses the carrier phase to detect signal
match within threshold to make decision
Non-coherent detection:
doesnt explode phase to detect signal
less complex receiver, but worse performance
Bandwidth Efficiency:
Trade off between data rate and bandwidth
Ability to accommodate data within a limited Bandwidth
Error Performance.
Considerations in choice of
modulation technique
Handling Data
Binary Modulation
M-ary Modulation
ASK detection
Advantages :
ease of implementation
Disadvantage:
signal is transmitted at different amplitudes so
it is power inefficient
Advantages :
1.
Disadvantage:
requires more analog bandwidth than ASK
FSK detector
Advantages :
1. Simple to implement
2. signal is transmitted at constant amplitude so
it is power efficient scheme
3. Very robust, used in sat. communications
Disadvantage:
inefficient use of bandwidth

FSK
Odd (Q) : takes the odd bits, every even bit takes the same as
the previous odd bit, so we have Ro=Rb/2
Even (I): takes the even bits, every odd bit takes the same as
the next even bit, so we have Re=Rb/2
Offset QPSK
In QPSK in order to concentrate the power in the
main lobe the signal pass to a non-linear amplifier
that amplifies the main lobe and minimize the side
lobes
The difference in I, Q alignment results in phase
changes of the carrier signal (0, 90, 180)
The 180 phase change results in fluctuations in the
envelope of the signal and go to zero, resetting the
nonlinear amplifier and side lobes are restored.
The 180 phase change can be eliminated by
shifting the odd stream by one bit duration
QPSK
Constellation diagram for QPSK
OQPSK
OQPSK has the same
Power spectral density
as QPSK
The advantage of
OQPSK results from
reducing the out of
band emission as
possible in practical
applications
M-ary Modulation
When we group stream of bits in 2 bits at a
time we have reduced the bandwidth to one
half.
If we could classify the stream into M
symbols each of m=log2M we could save
more bandwidth.
We have M-ary(ASK, PSK and FSK)
M-ary FSK
Each of the M symbols is represented by a
separate frequency equally spaced
frequencies selected from a set of equal
energy waveforms
sn(t)=Acos(wnt) , 0<t<T , n=1,2,,M
Bandwidth BT=M/T
M-ary PSK
M symbols are expressed as the set of
equally spaced phase angles
sn(t)=Acos(wct+n) , 0<t<T , n=1,2,,M
Where n=2(n-1)/M
This can be rewritten in the quadrature form as :
sn(t)=A[pncos(wct)+Qnsin(wct)]
Where pn=cos n , Qn=sin n
M-ary PSK
Constellation diagram
Waveform of MSK
s(t)=Acos(wct+(t)), wc=(wo+w1)/2
(t)=wt/2+ (0)
where w is the separation between wo, w1 used to
represent 0, 1 , (0) is the initial phase
The minimum frequency separation
w=/Tb and consequently
s(t)=Acos(wct+bn t/2Tb+ (0)).
Where bn=1 representing binary 0, 1
Or it can be written as
sn(t)=Apncos(wct t/2Tb) , (-) if pn=qn , (+) otherwise
This is equivalent to bn= -pn x qn
Generating MSK
MSK spectrum
MSK spectrum rolls off
at rate proportional to f4
for larger values of f
while OQPSK spectrum
rolls off at rate
proportional to f2
MSK has better 99%
power bandwidth than
