Transmission range
communication possible
low error rate
Detection range
detection of the signal

no communication sender
possible
Interference range transmission
signal may not be distance
detected detection
signal adds to the
interference
background noise
Signal can take many different paths between sender and receiver due to
reflection, scattering, diffraction
multipath
LOS pulses pulses
signal at sender
signal at receiver
Time dispersion: signal is dispersed over time
interference with “neighbor” symbols, Inter Symbol Interference (ISI)
The signal reaches a receiver directly and phase shifted
distorted signal depending on the phases of the different parts
t
short term fading

f
Advantages:
only one carrier in the
medium at any time
throughput high even k1 k2 k3 k4 k5 k6
for many users
c
Disadvantages: f
precise
synchronization
necessary
Advantages:
better protection against
tapping k1 k2 k3 k4 k5 k6
protection against frequency
selective interference c
higher data rates compared to f
code multiplex
but: precise coordination
required
Digital modulation
digital data is translated into an analog signal (baseband)
ASK, FSK, PSK - main focus in this chapter
differences in spectral efficiency, power efficiency, robustness
Analog modulation
shifts center frequency of baseband signal up to the radio carrier
Motivation
smaller antennas (e.g., /4)
Frequency Division Multiplexing
medium characteristics
Basic schemes
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
Frequency Modulation (FM)
Phase Modulation (PM)

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK):
needs larger bandwidth

Side effects:
coexistence of several signals without dynamic coordination
tap-proof
