Chapter-Digital Modulation Techniques

1) Dynamic range is the ratio of the largest to smallest possible magnitudes that can be decoded by a receiver's DAC. It is generally expressed in decibels and depends on the number of bits used in PCM coding. 2) Coding efficiency is the ratio of the minimum number of bits needed for a dynamic range to the actual number used. More bits means higher fidelity but less efficiency. 3) Digital modulation varies some characteristic of a carrier signal, such as amplitude, frequency, or phase, according to a digital signal to transmit information. Common techniques include ASK, FSK, PSK, and QAM.

5.3.4 Dynamic Range


 the number of PCM bits transmitted per sample determined by determined by
several factors – maximum allowable input amplitude, resolution and dynamic
range.
 Dynamic range (DR) – the ratio of the largest possible magnitude to the
smallest possible magnitude (other than 0 V) that can be decoded by the DAC
converter in the receiver.
 mathematically expressed
V max V max
DR  
V min resolution
where DR = dynamic range (unitless ratio)
Vmin = the quantum value (resolution)
Vmax = the maximum voltage magnitude that can be discerned by the
DAC’s in the receiver

5.3.4 Dynamic Range


 Dynamic range is generally expressed as a dB value

V max
DR  20 log
V min
where DR = dynamic range (unitless ratio)
Vmin = the quantum value (resolution)
Vmax = the maximum voltage magnitude that can be discerned by the
DAC’s in the receiver

 the number of bits used for a PCM code depends on the dynamic range. The
relationship between dynamic range and the number of bits in a PCM code is
2 n 1  DR
and for a minimum number of bits 2n – 1 = DR

5.3.5 Signal-to-Quantization Noise Ratio


 Generally, the quantization error or distortion caused by digitizing an analog
sample expressed as an average signal power-to-average noise power ratio.
 For a linear PCM codes (all quantization intervals have equal magnitudes), the
signal power-to-quantizing noise power ratio is determined by
v2 / R
SQR(dB)  10 log
where R = resistance (ohms)
 
q 2 / 12 / R
v = rms signal voltage (volts)
q = quantization intervals (volts)
v2/R = average signal power (watts)
(q2/12)/R = average quantization noise power (watts)
 if R is assume to be equal
v2 v
SQR(dB)  10 log 2  20 log

are clocked out of the PCM encoder onto the transmission line.

5.4.2 M-ary encoding


 in an M-ary encoding, M represents a digit that corresponds to the
number of conditions, levels, or combination possible for a given
number of binary variables.
 the number of bits necessary to produce a given number of conditions
is expressed mathematically as
N  log 2 M
where N = number of bits necessary
M = number of conditions, levels, or combination possible with
N bits
 from above, the number of conditions possible with N bits can be
expressed as 2N  M
 Ex : with 1 bit → 21 = 2 conditions
2 bits → 22 = 4 conditions
3 bits → 23 = 8 conditions

5.4.3 Baud and Minimum Bandwidth


 Bit rate – refers to the rate of change of digital information, which
is usually binary.
 Baud – refers to the rate of change of a signal on a transmission
medium after encoding and modulation have occurred.
 Baud can be expressed as
1
B 
ts
where Baud = symbol rate (baud per second)
ts = time of one signaling element (seconds)
signaling element = symbol
 for a given bandwidth B, the highest theoretical bit rate is 2B.
Using the multilevel signaling, the Nyquist formulation for channel
capacity is

bandwidth necessary to pass M-ary digitally modulated carrier as
follow  fb 
B   

ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) is produced.
 If the frequency (f) of the carrier is varied proportional to the information signal,
FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) is produced.
 If the phase (θ) of the carrier is varied proportional to the information signal, PSK
(Phase Shift Keying) is produced.
 If both amplitude and phase are varied proportional to the information signal,

5.5.1 Amplitude Shift Keying


 digital information signal directly modulates the amplitude of the analog carrier.
 mathematically, the modulated carrier signal is expressed as follow :

A 
v ask ( t )  1  v m ( t )  cos(  c t )  (1)
2 
where vask(t) = amplitude-shift keying wave
vm(t) = digital information (modulating) signal (volts)
A/2 = unmodulated carrier amplitude (volts)
ωc = analog carrier radian frequency

 in the above (1), modulating signal vm(t) is a normalized binary waveform,


where +1V = logic 1 and -1V = logic 0.

5.5.1 Amplitude Shift Keying


 for a logic 1 input, vm(t) = +1V, and (eqn 1) reduces to

A 
v ask ( t )  1  1 cos(  c t )   A cos(  c t )
2 
 and for logic 0 input, vm(t) = -1V, and (eqn 1) reduces to

A 
v ask ( t )  1  1 cos(  c t )   0
2 
 so the modulated wave vask(t), is either Acos(ωct) or 0, means the carrier is either
“on” or “off”. ASK is sometimes referred as on-off keying (OOK).

where vfsk(t) = binary FSK waveform


Vc = peak analog carrier amplitude
fc = analog carrier center frequency (Hz)
vm(t) = binary input (modulating signal)
Δf = peak change (shift) in the analog carrier frequency

 from (2), the peak shift in the carrier frequency (Δf) is proportional to the
amplitude of the binary input signal vm(t).
 the direction of the shift is determined by the polarity of signal ( 1 or 0 ).
 the modulating signal vm(t) is a normalized binary waveform where a logic 1 =
+1V and a logic 0 = -1V.

 for logic 0 input, vm(t) = -1, equation (2) becomes

v fsk ( t )  V c cos 2   f c   f t 

frequency domain by the binary input signal as shown below.

5.5.3 Phase Shift Keying


 modulation technique that alters the phase of the carrier.
 in a binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), where N (number of bits) = 1, M
(number of output phases) = 2, one phase represents a logic 1 and another
phase represents a logic 0.
 as the input digital signal changes state (i.e. from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1), the phase of
the output carrier shifts between two angles that are separated by 180º.
