In Digital Modulation

The document discusses amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation and calculating error probabilities for binary data transmission over communication channels. It provides the necessary equations to calculate: 1) The maximum signaling rate and error probability for a telephone link using coherent ASK modulation. 2) The error probability if the data is maintained at 300 bits/sec over the same channel. 3) The error probabilities of coherent and non-coherent receivers for an RF channel transmitting at 4.8×106 bits/sec using ASK.

In digital modulation, the input signal is in the form of digital-only.

It has only two voltage levels


either high or low. But in the analog signal, its voltage is continued and affected by some type of
noise. If the inputs signal in the form of digital and if you try to increase its amplitude
characteristics concerning the carrier signal, this process of modulation is called as Amplitude
Shift Keying. Compute the following

a) Binary data has to be transmitted over a telephone link that has a usable bandwidth of 3000Hz
and a maximum achievable signal-to-noise power ratio of 6 dB at its output. Compute the
necessary mathematical model.

i) Determine the maximum signaling rate and probability of error if a coherent ASK scheme is

used for transmitting binary data through this channel.

ii) If the data is maintained at 300 bits/sec, calculate the error probability.

b) Binary data is transmitted over an RF band pass channel with a usable bandwidth of 10 MHz at
a rate of (4.8×106) bits/sec using an ASK signaling method. The carrier amplitude at the receiver
antenna is 1 mv and the noise power spectral density at the receiver input is 10-15 watt/Hz. Find
the error probability of a coherent and non-coherent receiver

a)

For the telephone link with a usable bandwidth of 3000Hz and a maximum achievable signal-to-
noise power ratio of 6 dB at its output, the necessary mathematical model can be computed as
follows:

Let R be the maximum signaling rate in bits per second (bps), and let SNR be the signal-to-noise
ratio at the receiver input. Then, the channel capacity C in bits per second is given by the
Shannon-Hartley theorem:

C = B log2(1 + SNR)

where B is the usable bandwidth of the channel in Hz.

For an ASK scheme, the maximum signaling rate is given by:

R = B log2(1 + SNR)

Assuming that the binary data is transmitted with equal probability for each bit, the probability of
error Pe for coherent ASK is given by:

Pe = Q(sqrt((2Eb/N0)))

where Eb is the energy per bit, N0 is the noise power spectral density, and Q is the Q-function,
which is the tail probability of the standard normal distribution.

Using the given information, we have:


B = 3000 Hz SNR = 6 dB = 4 Eb/N0 = SNR/B = 4/3000 R = B log2(1 + SNR) = 3000 log2(5) ≈
5219 bps Eb = N0 * Eb/N0 = 10^-15 * 4/3000 = 1.33 * 10^-19 J Pe = Q(sqrt((2Eb/N0))) =
Q(sqrt(8/3) * 10^-10) ≈ 2.41 * 10^-5

Therefore, the maximum signaling rate is approximately 5219 bps, and the probability of error for
coherent ASK is approximately 2.41 * 10^-5.

If the data is maintained at 300 bps, the error probability can be calculated as:

Eb = N0 * Eb/N0 = 10^-15 * 4/3000 = 1.33 * 10^-19 J Pe = Q(sqrt((2Eb/N0))) = Q(sqrt(8/3) *


10^-12) ≈ 2.41 * 10^-7

Therefore, the error probability for a signaling rate of 300 bps is approximately 2.41 * 10^-7.

b) For the RF band pass channel with a usable bandwidth of 10 MHz and a signaling rate of 4.8 *
10^6 bps using an ASK scheme, the error probability can be calculated for both coherent and
non-coherent receivers.

For a coherent receiver, the probability of error Pe for ASK is given by:

Pe = Q(sqrt((2Eb/N0)))

where Eb is the energy per bit, N0 is the noise power spectral density, and Q is the Q-function,
which is the tail probability of the standard normal distribution.

Using the given information, we have:

B = 10 MHz = 10^7 Hz Eb = (1 mv)^2 / 2 = 5 * 10^-10 J N0 = 10^-15 watt/Hz Eb/N0 = Eb / (N0


* B) = 5 * 10^-10 / (10^-15 * 10^7) = 5 * 10^-8 Pe = Q(sqrt((2Eb/N0))) = Q(sqrt(10)) ≈ 2.7 * 10^-
16

Therefore, the error probability for a coherent receiver is approximately 2.7 * 10^-16.

For a non-coherent receiver, the probability of error Pe for ASK is given
