Innovation 2: Amplitude Shift Keying

The document describes Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) modulation. ASK is a type of amplitude modulation that represents binary data as variations in the amplitude of a carrier signal. In ASK, a high input results in the carrier signal amplitude, while a low input results in zero amplitude. The document includes a block diagram of an ASK modulator and discusses advantages like high bandwidth efficiency and simple receiver design, as well as disadvantages like lower power efficiency and susceptibility to noise interference. Applications of ASK mentioned include digital communication links, satellite and HDTV broadcast channels, and fiber optic transmission.

INNOVATION 2

Amplitude Shift Keying


Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) is a type of Amplitude Modulation which
represents the binary data in the form of variations in the amplitude of a signal.
Any modulated signal has a high frequency carrier. The binary signal when ASK
modulated, gives a zero value for Low input while it gives the carrier output for
High input.
The following figure represents ASK modulated waveform along with its input.

ASK Modulator
The ASK modulator block diagram comprises of the carrier signal generator, the
binary sequence from the message signal and the band-limited filter. Following
is the block diagram of the ASK Modulator.

The carrier generator, sends a continuous high-frequency carrier. The binary


sequence from the message signal makes the unipolar input to be either High or
Low. The high signal closes the switch, allowing a carrier wave. Hence, the
output will be the carrier signal at high input. When there is low input, the switch
opens, allowing no voltage to appear. Hence, the output will be low.

The band-limiting filter, shapes the pulse depending upon the amplitude and
phase characteristics of the band-limiting filter or the pulse-shaping filter.
Advantages of ASK modulation
Following are the benefits or advantages of ASK modulation.

➨It offers high bandwidth efficiency.

➨It has simple receiver design.

➨ASK modulation can be used to transmit digital data over optical fiber.

➨ASK modulation and ASK demodulation processes are comparatively


inexpensive.

➨Its variant OOK is used at radio frequencies to transmit morse codes.

Disadvantages of ASK modulation


Following are the drawbacks or disadvantages of ASK modulation.

➨It offers lower power efficiency.

➨ASK modulation is very susceptible to noise interference. This is due to the


fact that noise affects the amplitude. Hence another alternative modulation
technique such as BPSK which is less susceptible to error than ASK is used.

APPLICATIONS
 ASK is used almost in every digital communication link including your cell
phone and cable TV.

 The In most wireless links such as satellite TV and high definition TV


broadcast channels uses two ASK links in parallel, each of 16-levels, but
rotated in phase 90 degrees, thus the 16x16 combination is known as 256
QAM. 4x4 or 64 QAM is also popular.
 In fiber optics it is quite common to ignore phase and use only one ASK
channel .
