    What is Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)?

    A digital modulation technique that transmits digital data over optical fiber, with simple and inexpensive receivers and transmitters. It uses less bandwidth than FSK, making it more bandwidth efficient.

    What is Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)?

    A modulation technique that modifies the frequency of a carrier signal to reflect binary data. A higher frequency represents a binary high input, while a lower frequency represents a binary low input. It's less prone to noise issues than ASK but uses more bandwidth.

    What is Phase Shift Keying (PSK)?

    A modulation technique that modifies the phase of a carrier signal to represent binary data. It's more power efficient, less prone to errors, and carries data more efficiently than FSK.

    What is Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK)?

    A type of PSK using two phase reversals (0° and 180°). It's considered the most robust digital modulation technique for long-distance wireless communication.
