Study Notes
Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK)
- BPSK outperforms Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) and Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) in performance.
- BPSK employs two distinct phases (0° and 180°) to represent its binary signal elements, maintaining constant amplitude and frequency.
- Expansion to M-ary schemes introduces multiple phases and amplitudes for varied signal states.
- Less susceptible to noise compared to ASK; does not require two carrier signals like FSK.
Digital Modulation Overview
- Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) is simple but requires higher bandwidth and is prone to interference.
- Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) offers better robustness than ASK but is more bandwidth-intensive.
- Phase Shift Keying (PSK) is robust against interference, with lower susceptibility to noise and better error resilience.
Multiplexing Techniques
- Multiplexing enhances the utilization of channel bandwidth, crucial in communication systems.
- Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) allocates non-overlapping frequency bands for simultaneous transmission of multiple signals, used in broadcast radio.
- Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) employs sampling to sequentially send signals within the same time frame.
Double Sideband Amplitude Modulation (DSBAM)
- DSBAM combines a variable DC offset (VDC) with message signals, modulated by a carrier.
- The modulation depth (m) determines the ratio of the peak message amplitude (Vm) to VDC, influencing the signal's characteristics.
- Total power in DSBAM includes contributions from both the carrier and sidebands, represented as PT = Pc(1 + m²/2).
Single Sideband Amplitude Modulation (SSBAM)
- SSBAM filters out one sideband to reduce bandwidth and increase power efficiency.
- Output contains VDC and a modified message signal, facilitating intelligible reception despite phase shifts.
- Small frequency and phase variations are tolerable, making SSB widely adopted for simpler receiver designs than DSBAM.
Representative Characteristics and Applications
- Traditional radio systems have relied on DSBAM for simplicity and lower cost in receiver design.
- Modern advancements in integrated circuits have made synchronous demodulators more feasible, enabling more complex modulation schemes.
- AM serves as a foundation for various digital modulation techniques, multiplexing methods, and radio transmission/receiver processes.
