Phase-Shift Keying
▪ The process of phase modulating a carrier with binary
data is called phase-shift keying (PSK) or binary
phase-shift keying (BPSK).

5-3: Modulation Index
and Sidebands
Bessel Functions
▪ The leftmost column gives the modulation index mf . The
remaining columns indicate the relative amplitude of
carrier and various pairs of sidebands.
▪ Fig. 5-9 shows the curves that are generated by plotting the data
in Fig. 5-8.
▪ The carrier and sideband amplitudes and polarities are plotted
on the vertical axis; the modulation index is plotted on the
horizontal axis.
▪ As the figures illustrate, the carrier amplitude J0 varies with the
modulation index.
▪ In FM, the carrier amplitude and the amplitudes of the sidebands
change as the modulating signal frequency and deviation
change. In AM, the carrier amplitude remains constant.

BW = 2fmN
Where N is the number of significant* sidebands
▪ Example:
If the highest modulating frequency is 3 kHz and the
maximum deviation is 6 kHz, what is the modulation
index?
mf = 6 kHz/3 kHz = 2
What is the bandwidth?
BW = 2(3 kHz)(4) = 24 kHz
*Significant sidebands are those that have an amplitude of greater than 1% (.01) in the Bessel table.
