1.0 Objectives
Generation and demodulation of a frequency shift keying (FSK) signal using MATLAB.
2.0 Theory
Binary FSK is the most common form of FSK where a pair of discrete frequencies are used
to transmit binary information. Figure 1 illustrates a binary FSK signal (lower), together
with the modulating binary sequence (upper). Notice that the FSK signal switches between
two frequencies. The frequency of the signal that corresponds with logic-0s in the digital
data (called the space frequency) is usually lower than the modulator’s nominal carrier
frequency. The frequency of the signal that corresponds with logic-1s in the digital data
(called the mark frequency) is usually higher than the modulator’s nominal carrier
frequency. The modulator does not output a signal at the carrier frequency, hence the
reference here to it as being the ‘nominal’ carrier frequency.
3.0 Procedure
Using MATLAB generate the modulating and demodulating FSK signal for the input
stream of [01100010]. Locate the mark and space frequency of the output spectrum.
