03 - Modulation and Coding Techniques - Amplitude Shift Keying

ASK is the simplest form of digital modulation where a carrier signal is turned on and off according to the binary digits being transmitted. It uses two amplitude levels to represent the binary digits 1 and 0. ASK modulation is performed by varying the amplitude of the carrier wave with the message signal. Demodulation of ASK signals can be done synchronously using a square law detector or asynchronously using a half-wave rectifier and comparator. The main advantages of ASK are its simplicity of implementation while its main disadvantages are low bandwidth efficiency and susceptibility to noise.

Amplitude Shift Keying
ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying)
• The simplest of the digital modulation.
• Similar to AM but the output are two possible levels only.
• Known also as DAM(digital amplitude modulation)

Amplitude Shift Keying


Amplitude Shift Keying Theory
•First input is binary sequence signal and the second input is carrier signal. Here the most important
point we need to always consider the second input which is the carrier signal has the more
amplitude/voltage range than the input binary sequence signal.

Why do We Choose a Higher Characteristics Carrier Signal?
