Binary Modulation Methods
▪ Binary (2-ary) digital modulation methods
include BASK (OOK), BFSK (AFSK, MSK,
GMSK) and BPSK (DPSK).
9
▪ Instead of the transmission of unmodulated M-ary signal,
a sinusoidal carrier of multi level is generated.
M = 2n

Constellation Diagrams
▪ A constellation diagram is used to represent the
modulation scheme used.

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying
In quadrature (or quaternary) phase shift keying (QPSK or
4PSK), four phase angles are used to represent a binary signal
that is divided into dibits.
13
▪ Hence, each of the transmitted symbols is going to represent
two bits of the data, not just one bit as in binary methods.
▪ Therefore, the data rate will be double the transmission rate.

M - Phase Shift Keying
▪ In 8PSK, eight phase angles are used to represent a binary
signal that is divided into tribits.
16
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
▪ In QAM, PSK is combined with ASK to obtain higher data
rates. Using m amplitudes and n phase angles offers M-
QAM, where
M≤mxn
17
▪ It is obvious that, MPSK is a special case of QAM, but with
one amplitude.
▪ There may exist different amplitude and phase variations of
M-QAM for the same value M, i.e. different constellations.
21
Gray Code
▪ The number sequence we used to order the
encoded levels or phase angles is the binary
sequence, such as 00, 01, 10, 11.
▪ However, the Gray code or sequence gives better
results regarding errors that occur due to noise.
▪ Each two successive values differ in only one bit.
It is a non-weighted code and is known as the
reflected binary code.

Baseband Modulation Simulation
▪ Generally, there are two ways to simulate modulation
techniques, which are called baseband and passband.
▪ The Communications Toolbox Blockset in Matlab supports
passband for analog modulation, while it supports baseband
simulation for digital modulation.
▪ The baseband simulation, which is also known as the
lowpass equivalent method, requires less computation
compared to passband simulation.
▪ That is because modelling a high-frequency carrier signal is
computationally intensive because the carrier signal
typically needs to be sampled at a high rate. 24
▪ In baseband modulation, the complex envelope of the
modulation of a message signal will be produced.
▪ We wont be looking anymore at the waveform of the
sinusoidal carrier.
▪ The output is a complex-valued signal that is related to the
output of a passband modulator as
▪ Or,
A(t) < ɸ(t)
