Amplitude Shift Key:: Amplitude Modulation Digital Data Amplitude Carrier Wave

Amplitude shift keying (ASK) is a digital modulation technique that represents binary data as variations in the amplitude of a carrier wave. In ASK, a binary 1 is represented by transmitting a carrier signal at full amplitude for a bit duration, while a binary 0 is represented by not transmitting the carrier signal. There are two amplitude levels: one for 1s and one for 0s. MATLAB code is provided to generate and plot an example ASK signal modulating a carrier wave with a square wave data signal.

AMPLITUDE SHIFT KEY:

Amplitude shift keying in terms of digital communications is a modulation process, which


imparts to a sinusoid two or more discrete amplitude levels. ASK is a form of amplitude
modulation that represents digital data as variations in the amplitude of a carrier wave. In an
ASK system, the binary symbol 1 is represented by transmitting a fixed-amplitude carrier wave
and fixed frequency for a bit duration of T seconds. If the signal value is 1 then the carrier signal
will be transmitted; otherwise, a signal value of 0 will be transmitted. These are related to the
number of levels adopted by the digital message.

There are so many types of Shift Keying like PSK , FSK , BPSK but here we are talking about
only ASK.
MATLAB Code:

F1=100; %Carrier Frequency


F2=60; %Data Rate Frequency

x=A.*sin(2*pi*F1*t); %Carrier Sine wave
u=A/2.*square(2*pi*F2*t)+(A/2); %Square wave message
