Introduction to Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
Hello, welcome to another module in this massive open online course. In this module, let
us look at another digital modulation technique that is frequency shift key.
So, we will be looking at a new digital modulation scheme which is termed as frequency
shift key. This is a digital modulation scheme as we have already said and it is based on
the signal space concept that we have previously described.

Suppose we have two orthonormal pulses as discussed in the previous lecture,𝑝1 (𝑡) and
𝑝2 (𝑡).

𝑝1 (𝑡) = √ cos(2𝜋𝑓1 𝑡) 0≤𝑡≤𝑇
𝑇
2
𝑝2 (𝑡) = √ cos(2𝜋𝑓2 𝑡) 0≤𝑡≤𝑇
𝑇
Both 𝑝1 (𝑡) and 𝑝2 (𝑡) have unit energy and are orthogonal to each other.

𝐴𝑝2 (𝑡) = 𝐴√ cos(2𝜋𝑓2 𝑡) 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑏𝑖𝑡 1

One waveform can be obtained from other by shifting the frequency. Hence, this scheme
is known as frequency shift keying or FSK.
Assuming both 0 and 1 appear with probability half each, we get the average energy per
bit,

2 2
Assuming 𝐸𝑝 = 1 we get,
𝐴 = √𝐸𝑏
Now that we have two types of signal, we need to find out how to match the receive filter.
𝑝1 (𝑡) + 𝑝2 (𝑡)
𝑦̃(𝑡) = 𝑦(𝑡) − 𝐴 ( )
2
(Refer Slide Time: 15:41)
𝑝1 (𝑡) − 𝑝2 (𝑡)
= 𝐴( ) + 𝑛(𝑡)
2
= 𝐴 𝑝̃(𝑡) + 𝑛(𝑡)
𝑝1 (𝑡) + 𝑝2 (𝑡)
𝑦̃(𝑡) = 𝑦(𝑡) − 𝐴 ( )
2
= −𝐴 𝑝̃(𝑡) + 𝑛(𝑡)

Thus,
The factor of two is simply a constant and will not affect the SNR.
ℎ(𝜏) = 𝑝1 (𝑇 − 𝜏) − 𝑝2 (𝑇 − 𝜏)
(Refer Slide Time: 22:44)
2 2
= √ cos(2𝜋𝑓1 (𝑇 − 𝜏)) − √ cos(2𝜋𝑓2 (𝑇 − 𝜏))
𝑇 𝑇
Thus, we have derived the receive filter for optimal SMR, in the next module we will
derive the SNR and bit error rate for this scheme.
