 7.1 Some Preliminaries
™ Given a binary source
¾ The modulation process involves switching ore keying the amplitude,
phase, or frequency of a sinusoidal carrier wave between a pair of
possible values in accordance with symbols 0 and 1.
c(t ) = Ac cos(2πf c t + φc ) (7.1)

¾ All three of them are examples of a band-pass process

1. Binary amplitude shift-keying (BASK)
ƒ The carrier amplitude is keyed between the two possible values used to
represent symbols
b l 0 andd 1
2. Binary phase-shift keying (BPSK)
ƒ The carrier phase is keyed between the two possible values used to
represent symbols 0 and 11.
3. Binary frequency-shift keying (BFSK)
ƒ The carrier frequency is keyed between the two possible values used to
represent symbols 0 and 1.

¾ Differences that distinguish digital modulation from analog modulation.

ƒ The transmission bandwidth requirement of BFSK is greater than that of BASK for
a given binary source.
ƒ However, the same does not hold for BPSK.

separated from its spectral content for negative frequencies.

we are merely restating the fact that BASK is an example of amplitude

 1. Generation
¾ The differential encoding process at the transmitter input starts with an
arbitrary first bit, serving merely as reference
ƒ If the incoming binary symbol bk is 1, then the symbol dk is unchanged with
respect to the previous symbol dk-1
ƒ If the incoming binary symbol bk is 0, then the symbol dk is changed with
respect to the previous symbol dk-1

2. Detection
¾ The phase-modulated pulses pertaining to two successive bits are
identical except for a possible sign reversal
¾ The incoming pulse is multiplied by the preceding pulse
¾ The preceding pulse serves the purpose of a locally generated reference
signal
i l
¾ Applying the sampled output of the low-pass filter to a decision-
making device supplied with a prescribed threshold, detection of the
