Alpha College of Engineering & Technology: Digital Modulation Techniques

This document discusses various digital modulation techniques including amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency shift keying (FSK), and phase shift keying (PSK). It provides information on how each technique works by changing parameters of a carrier signal based on digital data. It also discusses bandwidth and noise considerations for different modulation types and compares their bit error rates. Key modulation techniques covered are BASK, BPSK, BFSK, MFSK, MPSK, QAM, and MSK.
