Digital Modulation Techniques

• Introduction to Key Methods of Modulating


Digital Signals
• By: Wesene Derbe
• Wollega University
Introduction to Digital Modulation
• Definition:
• Digital Modulation is a technique where digital
information (0s and 1s) is transmitted by
modulating a carrier wave.

• Key Concept:
• Modulation occurs using Shift Keying
methods.
Digital Modulation vs Analog
Modulation
• Feature Comparison:

• - Signal Type: Continuous (Analog) vs Discrete


(Digital)
• - Examples: AM, FM, PM (Analog) vs ASK, FSK,
PSK, QAM (Digital)
• - Noise Immunity: Low (Analog) vs High
(Digital)
• - Bandwidth Efficiency: Moderate (Analog) vs
High (Digital)
Types of Digital Modulation
Techniques
• Block Diagram:
• Input Data (Bits) → Pulse Shaping →
Modulator → Carrier Signal Output
Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)
• Definition:
• Amplitude of the carrier wave changes based
on the digital data.

• Equation:
• s(t) = A_c cos(2πf_c t) for bit '1', 0 for bit '0'

• Block Diagram:
• Digital Data → Modulator → ASK Signal
Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
• Definition:
• Frequency of the carrier wave varies with the
digital data.

• Equation:
• s(t) = A_c cos(2πf_1 t) for bit '1', A_c
cos(2πf_2 t) for bit '0'

• Block Diagram:
Phase Shift Keying (PSK)
• Definition:
• Phase of the carrier wave changes with the
digital data.

• Equation (BPSK):
• s(t) = A_c cos(2πf_c t) for bit '1', -A_c
cos(2πf_c t) for bit '0'

• Block Diagram:
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
(QAM)
• Definition:
• Combines both Amplitude and Phase
Modulation.

• Equation:
• s(t) = A_i cos(2πf_c t) + A_q sin(2πf_c t)
• Where:
• - A_i, A_q: Amplitudes representing bits in I
(In-phase) and Q (Quadrature) channels.
Applications of Digital Modulation
• - Wireless Communication (e.g., WiFi, LTE, 5G)
• - Satellite Communication
• - Data Transmission (e.g., modems)
Conclusion
• - Digital Modulation Techniques enable
efficient, reliable, and fast data transmission.
• - ASK, FSK, PSK, and QAM are foundational
methods in modern communication systems.
