    Study Notes

    Digital Modulation

    • Digital modulation involves modulating an analog carrier with a digital information signal.

    Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)

    • ASK modulates the amplitude of an analog carrier using a binary signal.
    • Key equation for the amplitude-modulated signal:
      • v(t) = [1V + m(t)] [V_c sin(ω_c t)]
    • Variables in the equation:
      • v(t) = ASK modulated signal (Volts)
      • m(t) = binary modulating signal (Volts)
      • V_c = maximum or peak amplitude of the carrier (Volts)
      • ω_c = analog carrier radian frequency, defined as ω_c = 2πf_c
      • f_c = frequency of the analog carrier (Hertz)

    Key Characteristics of ASK

    • When binary input is -1, output is 0V.
    • When binary input is +1, output is double the carrier signal amplitude: v(t) = 2V_c sin(ω_c t) V.

    Modulation and Demodulation Techniques

    • ASK requires both modulation and demodulation processes for effective communication.
    • Asynchronous Demodulation does not rely on synchronization with the transmitter.
    • Synchronous Demodulation requires precise synchronization for optimal performance.

    Importance of Baud Rate

    • The baud rate in ASK must be carefully considered to ensure the effective transmission of data.
