DIGITAL MODULATION SCHEME
UNIT IV DIGITAL
MODULATION SCHEME
1. Define ASK.
In .ASK, carrier .is .switched on .when binary .1 .is .to .be
.transmitted and .it .is switched off when binary D is to be
transmitted ASK is also called on-off keying.
2. What is meant by DPSK?
In DPSK, the input sequence is modified. Let input sequence be
d(t) and outputsequence be b(t). Sequence b(t) changes level at
the beginning of each interval in which d(t)=1 and it does not
changes level when d(t)=0.
When b(t) changes level, phase of the carrier is changed. And as stated above, b(t)
changes t=its levelonly
when d(t) =1. This means phase of the carrier is changed only if d(t)=1. Hence the technique
is calledDifferential PSK.

3. Explain coherent detection?


In coherent detection, the local carrier generated at the
receiver is phase lockedwith the carrier at the transmitter. The
detection is done by correlating received
noisy .signal .and .locally .generated .carrier. .The .coherent .detection .is .a synchronous
detection.
4. What is the difference between PSK and FSK?
In PSK, phase of the carrier is switched according to input bit sequence. In FSK
frequency of the carrier is switched according to input bit sequence. FSK needs double of
the bandwidthof PSK.
5. What is meant by coherent ASK?
In coherent .ASK, correlation .receiver .is used to detect .the signal. .Locally
generated carrier is correlated with incoming ASK signal. The locally generated carrier is
in exact phasewith the transmitted carrier. Coherent ASK is also called as synchronous
ASK.
7. . What is the major advantage of coherent PSK over coherent ASK? ASK .is .on-
off .signalling, .where .as .the .modulated .carrier .is .continuouslytransmitted in PSK.
Hence peak power requirement is more ASK, whereas it isreduced in case of PSK
8.Explain the model of bandpass digital data transmission system?

The bandpass digital data transmission system consists of source, encoder and
modulator in the transmitter. Similarly receiver, decoder and destination form the
transmitter.
9. What is baseband signal receiver?
A baseband signal receiver increases the signal to noise ratio at
the instant of sampling. This reduces the probability of error.
The baseband signal receiver isalso called optimum receiver.
10. What is matched filter?
The matched filter is a baseband signal receiver, which works in presence of
white Gaussian noise. The impulse response of .the matched response of .the matched
filter is matched tothe shape pf the input signal.
11. What is the value of maximum signal to noise ratio of the matched
filter? When it becomesmaximum?
Maximum signal to noise ratio is the ratio of energy to psd of white noise. i.e.,
ρmax = E/ (N0/2)
This maximum value occurs at the end of bit duration i.e. Tb
12. What is correlator ?
Correlator is the coherent receiver. It correlates the received noisy
signal .f(t) with .the .locally .generated .replica .of .the .unknown
.signal .x(t). .It‟ s output .isdenoted as r(t).
13. On what factor, the error probability of matched filter depends.
Error probability is given as
Pe = 1/2erfc√E/N. o
This equation shows that error probability depends only on energy but not on shape of the
signal.
14. Bring out the difference between coherent & non coherent binary modulation
scheme.
a. Coherent detection:
In this method the local carrier generated at the receiver is
phase locked withthe carrier at the transmitter. Hence it is
called synchronous detection

b. Non coherent detection:

c. In this method, the receiver carrier need not be phase locked with transmitter carrier.
Hence it is calledenvelope detection.
15. Write the expression for bit error rate for coherent binary FSK. Bit
error rate for coherentbinary FSK is given as,
Pe = 1/2erfc√0.6E/N. o
16. Highlight the major difference between a QPSK & MSK signal.
MSK signal have continuous phase in all the cases, where as QPSK has phase
shift of π/2 or π.
17. What is the error probability of MSK & DPSK?
Error probability of MSK: Pe = 1/2erfc√E/N. o
Error probability of DPSK: Pe = 1/2e -Eb/No
18. In minimum shift keying what is the relation between the signal frequencies & bit
rate.
Let the bit rate be f b and the frequency of carrier be f. The
h0igher and lowerMSK signal frequencies are given as,
fH.= f.+0f./4 b fL.= f.-0f./4b
19. List the advantages of Passband transmission
a. Long distance.
b. Analog channels can be used for transmission.
c. Multiplexing techniques can be used for bandwidth conservation. d.
Transmission can be done byusing wireless channel also.
20. List the requirements of Passband transmission.
a. Maximum data transmission rate.
b. Minimum probability of symbol error.
c. Minimum transmitted power.
