Phase modulation varies the phase angle of the carrier wave according to the modulating wave, keeping amplitude and frequency constant. Frequency shift keying changes the carrier frequency between two values depending on the input bit, while amplitude shift keying varies the carrier amplitude between two levels. Digital modulation techniques include amplitude shift keying, frequency shift keying, and phase shift keying which varies the phase of the carrier.

In this type of modulation, Amplitude and In this method, the frequency of the carrier is changed to two different frequencies depending on Frequency are kept constant. The phase angle of the logic state of the input bit stream. The typical the carrier wave is varied according to the output waveform of an FSK is shown below. Notice modulating wave. The common name for "Phase that logic high causes the centre frequency to modulation" and "Frequency modulation" is "Angle increase to a maximum and a logic low causes the modulation". centre frequency to decrease to a minimum.
The digital transmission of analog signals involves
pulse modulation. In analog pulse modulation, time is represented in discrete form. In digital pulse modulation, both time and signal amplitude are represented in discrete form.
DIGITAL MODULATION TECHNIQUES
Amplitude Shift Key Modulation
In this method the amplitude of the carrier assumes
one of the two amplitudes dependent on the logic states of the input bit stream. A typical output waveform of an ASK modulator is shown in the figure below. The frequency components are the USB and LSB with a residual carrier frequency. The low amplitude carrier is allowed to be transmitted to ensure that at the receiver the logic 1 and logic 0 conditions can be recognized uniquely.

Phase Shift Key Modulation With this method, the phase of the carrier changes between different phases determined by the logic states of the input bit stream. Phase shift keying (PSK) is a method of transmitting and receiving digital signals in which the phase of a transmitted signal is varied to convey information. There are several different types of phase shift key (PSK) modulators. • Two-phase (2 PSK) • Four-phase (4 PSK) • Eight-phase (8 PSK) • Sixteen-phase (16 PSK) • Sixteen-Quadrature amplitude (16 QAM) The 16 QAM is a composite modulator consisting of amplitude modulation and phase modulation. The Fig: Amplitude Shift Key Modulation 2 PSK, 4 PSK, 8 PSK and 16 PSK modulators are generally referred to as binary phase shift key (BPSK) modulators and the QAM modulators are can be regarded (using complex number referred to as Quadrature phase shift key (QPSK) notation) as simple amplitude modulation modulators. of a complex-valued carrier wave by a Two-Phase Shift Key Modulation (BPSK) single complex-valued signal. In this modulator the carrier assumes one of two phases. Logic 1 produces no phase change and What this actually means is that the logic 0 produces a 180° phase change. The output amplitude and the phase of the carrier waveform for this modulator is shown below. The wave are simultaneously changed simplest form of PSK has only two phases, 0 and 1. according to the information you want to It is therefore a type of ASK taking the values -1 or transmit. 1, and its bandwidth is the same as that of ASK. The digital signal is broken up time wise into individual bits (binary digits).The state of each bit is ANALOG VS DIGITAL MODULATION determined according to the state of the preceding bit. If the phase of the wave does not change, then the signal state stays the same (low or high). If the phase of the wave changes by 180 degrees, that is, Digital Modulation if the phase reverses, then the signal state changes (from low to high or from high to low). The modulation method is simple i.e. switch the carrier on and off.
The receiver must have some form of
synchronization with the transmitter to decode the digital information.
Synchronization wastes bandwidth because it is not
information.
Analog Modulation
Very simple demodulation techniques for AM and
FM (1 or 2 diodes, capacitors, and a transformer)
Linear amplifiers and modulators are used. No
digital circuit needed.
Modulation methods require lots of power
comparable with the carrier power.

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)
QAM is the encoding of information into a
carrier wave by variation of the amplitude of both the carrier wave and a 'Quadrature' carrier that is 90° out of phase with the main carrier in accordance with two input signals. Alternately, this
