ASK

ASK refers to amplitude–shift keying.

The simplest digital modulation technique is amplitude–shift keying

(ASK), where a binary information signal directly modulates the
amplitude of an analog carrier.

It is also called as digital amplitude modulation (DAM).

ASK

ASK can be expressed using:

amplitude-shift keying wave

digital information signal (volts)
A/2 unmodulated carrier amplitude (volts)
analog carrier radian frequency (rad/s, 2πfct)
ASK

If logic 1 where digital information signal is +1 V:

ASK

If logic 0 where digital information signal is -1 V:

ASK refers to amplitude–shift keying.

The simplest digital modulation technique is amplitude–shift keying

(ASK), where a binary information signal directly modulates the
amplitude of an analog carrier.

It is also called as digital amplitude modulation (DAM).

it is also referred to on-off keying (OOK).
