Introduction Baseband Pulse transmission: a discrete pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) is transmitted over a low-pass channel Digital passband transmission Data stream is modulated into a carrier with fixed frequency limits imposed by a band-pass channel of interest. Major issue is the optimum design of the receiver in the presence of noise. Communication channel: microwave radio, satellite Modulation processswitching (keying) amplitude, phase, frequency hree basic signaling schemes: ASK(Amp.-shift keying), PSK(Phase-shift keying), FSK(Phase-shift keying) > Unlike continuous-wave modulation, it is not difficult to distinguish between PSK and FSK signals. > Unlike ASK signals, PSK and FSK signals have a constant envelopeimperious to amplitude nonlinearities (microwave radio, satellite channels)preferred to ASK for passband data transmission over nonlinear channels. 6 - Modulation schemes ASK(Amp.-shift keying) PSK(Phase-shift keying) FSK(Phase-shift keying) 6-3
