modulation: process by which an information sig is converted to a sinusoidal waveform 3 features of sinusoid: amp, freq, phase digital modulation is process wher ethe amp, freq, phase or a combination is varied in accordance with the info to be xmitted when receiver exploits knowledge of the carrier's phase to detect signals, the process is coherent detection when rx does not use the phase ref info, the process is noncoherent detection binary amp shift keying (ASK): baseband sig is m(t) = sum<>(akp(t-kTb)) where ak is the data value and p(t) is the pulse shape for rect pulse, get a sig or get no sig alternatively, antipodal signaling maps to 1/-1 instead of 1/0, so you get sharp phase shifts when changing between 1 and 0 binary phase shift keying (PSK) equivalent to ASK when the amps are negatives of each other S0(t) = cos(wct+pi)*p(t) = -cos(wct)p(t) S0(t) = cos(wct)*p(t) gives very nice phase shifts on zero crossing, so causes a reflection FSK frequency shift keying causes different frequencies to be seen for 1 or 0 psd of ask, psk, fsk modulated sigs can be written as PHI(t) = m(t)cos(wct) PSD: Sphi=lim as T to inf(mag(PSIt(f))^2/T) PHIt(f) is FT of the truncated sig PHIt(t) = PHI(t)(u(t+T/2) - u(t-T/2)) = mt(t)cos(wct) rect applied to PSI PSIt(f) = F{PHIt(t)} = 1/2 * (Mt(f-fc) +Mt(f+fc)) Sphi(f) = 1/4 * lim as t to inf(mag(Mt(f-fc) + Mt(f+fc))^2/T) = 1/4 * lim as t to inf((Mt(f-fc)Mt*(f+fc) + Mt(f+fc)Mt*(f-fc))/T) = 1/4 * lim, t to inf(|Mt(f-fc)|^2/T + |Mt(f+fc)|^2/T) = 1/4 * Sm(f+fc) + 1/4 * Sm(f-fc) ASK: OOK PHIask(t) = m(t)cos(wct) m(t) = sum<>(akp(t-kTb)) p(t) = rect((t-Tb/2)/Tb) m has the PSD: Sm(f) = |P(f)|^2/4Tb * (1+1/Tb * sum(delta(f-n/Tb))) P(f) = Tbsinc(fpi*Tb)e^(-jfpi*Tb) Sm(f) = Tb/4 * sinc^2(fpi*Tb)*(1+1/Tb * sum(delta(f-n/Tb))) looks like a sinc^2 with a DC component
