 Foreword

Digital communication consisting of information coding has taken over the current era.
This digital code passes from one station to another by signals. The way to carry these signals
is very important as is the digital content. Indeed, the digital signal must not be deformed or
generate errors during its transmission.

Digital transmission produces fewer data errors than analog transmission, it is easier to
detect and correct information-bearing data errors, since transmitted data is binary, also error
coding is used to detect and correct digital transmission errors. At the other hand,
regenerative capability: consisting of digital repeaters placed along the transmission channel
can detect a distorted digital signal and retransmit a new, clean digital data signal. These
repeaters minimize the accumulation of noise and signal distortion along the transmission
channel.
The manuscript describes the main digital modulation techniques as well as the recovery
of signals, followed by a simulation of a digital transmission chain, using Simulink Matlab
program.
It is an advanced digital communication simulation course on the various digital
modulation techniques given for my Master 1 students in telecommunications, in “ 20 Août
1955” Skikda university, it can be considered also, as a brochure for digital communication
simulation work, which can be of great help to telecommunication students.
It can also be a support for courses or practical work for my colleagues in the field of
communications; I hope it will be beneficial and interesting.

 Chapter I: Amplitude shift keying modulation and
demodulation (ASK)
I-1 Introduction:

Amplitude-shift keying (ASK) is a form of amplitude modulation that

represents digital data as variations in the amplitude of a carrier wave. In an ASK system, the
binary symbol 1 is represented by transmitting a fixed-amplitude carrier wave and fixed
frequency for a bit duration of T seconds. If the signal value is 1 then the carrier signal will
be transmitted; otherwise, a signal value of 0 will be transmitted.

Any digital modulation scheme uses a finite number of distinct signals to represent digital
data. ASK uses a finite number of amplitudes, each assigned a unique pattern of binary digits.
Usually, each amplitude encodes an equal number of bits. Each pattern of bits forms
the symbol that is represented by the particular amplitude. The demodulator, which is
designed specifically for the symbol-set used by the modulator, determines the amplitude of
the received signal and maps it back to the symbol it represents, thus recovering the original
data. Frequency and phase of the carrier are kept constant.

The simplest and most common form of ASK operates as a switch, using the presence of
a carrier wave to indicate a binary one and its absence to indicate a binary zero. This type of
modulation is called on-off keying (OOK), and is used at radio frequencies to transmit Morse
code (referred to as continuous wave operation).

 Chapter II: Frequency Shift Keying modulation and
demodulation (FSK)

II-1 Introduction:

Frequency-shift keying (FSK) is a frequency modulation scheme in which digital

information is transmitted through discrete frequency changes of a carrier signal.
The technology is used for communication systems such as amateur radio, caller ID and
emergency broadcasts. The simplest FSK is binary FSK (BFSK). BFSK uses a pair of
discrete frequencies to transmit binary (0s and 1s) information. With this scheme, the "1" is
called the mark frequency and the "0" is called the space frequency.
