Amplitude shift keying (ASK) is a digital modulation technique that represents binary data by changing the amplitude of a carrier wave. In ASK, the presence of a carrier wave represents a binary 1 and the absence of a carrier wave represents a binary 0. The frequency and phase of the carrier wave remain constant. ASK has simple transmitter and receiver implementations but does not have a constant envelope, making power amplification more difficult. It is seldom used except for low-speed telemetry due to its relatively low quality and cost. ASK modulation and demodulation can be performed using non-coherent and coherent detection circuits.

Demod Group 6 Introduction • The process of switching the carrier either on or off, in correspondence to a sequence of digital pulses that constitute the information signal. • One binary digit is represented by the presence of a carrier, the other binary digit is represented by the absence of a carrier. • Frequency remains fixed. • The amplitude of an analog carrier signal varies in accordance with the bit stream (modulating signal), keeping frequency and phase constant. • The level of amplitude can be used to represent binary logic 0s and 1s. • We can think of a carrier signal as an ON or OFF switch. • In the modulated signal, logic 0 is represented by the absence of a carrier, thus giving OFF/ON keying operation and hence the name given. Advantages • Easy to implement transmitter and receiver with several components • Detection is Easy • Scheme is simple Disadvantages • That it has not got a constant envelope. This makes its processing (e.g., power amplification) more difficult, since linearity becomes an important factor. However, it does make for ease of demodulation with an envelope detector. Application • The use of amplitude modulated analog carries to transport digital information is relatively low quality, low-cost type of digital modulation and therefore is seldom us accept for very low speed telemetry circuit. Equation
• VASK (t) = Amplitude shift keying.
• Vm(t) = Digital information(modulating) signal(V). • A/2 = Unmodulated carrier amplitude(V). • ῳc = Analog carrier radian freq(radian/s). • In equation above, demodulating signal, Vm is normalized binary waveform where +1V = logic 1 and -1V = logic 0. • Therefore for a logic 1 input, VASK = A cos ῳct. • For the logic 0, VASK = 0. Waveform Modulation Simulation ASK Demodulation • ASK demodulation is a process that restore the digital modulating signal from the ASK signal received. • The electronic circuit that perform ASK demodulation is called ASK demodulator. • ASK demodulators can be categorized into two types :- – Noncoherent – Coherent Block Diagram Of Coherent ASK Demodulation Block Diagram Of Noncoherent ASK Demodulation Q&A
