Experiment 1 Amplitude Shift Keying

This document describes an experiment to plot the waveform for binary amplitude shift keying (BASK) using Scilab. It provides theory on amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation where the amplitude of the carrier signal is varied based on the logic states (0 or 1) of the input bit stream. The Scilab program defines time and amplitude variables, generates square wave and cosine carrier signals, and plots the message signal, carrier signal, and modulated ASK signal in three subplots. The output shows the waveforms for the experiment.

EXPERIMENT 1

Amplitude Shift Keying

AIM:To plot the wave form for Binary Amplitude Shift Keying (BASK) signal using
SCILAB for a stream of bits.

THEORY:

Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) is the digital modulation technique. In amplitude shift keying,
the amplitude of the carrier signal is varied to create signal elements. Both frequency and
phase remain constant while the amplitude changes. In ASK, the amplitude of the carrier
assumes one of the two amplitudes dependent on the logic states of the input bit stream. This
modulated signal can be expressed as:

Amplitude shift keying (ASK) in the context of digital signal communications is a


modulation process, which imparts to a sinusoid two or more discrete amplitude levels. These
are related to the number of levels adopted by the digital message. For a binary message
sequence there are two levels, one of which is typically zero. Thus the modulated waveform
consists of bursts of a sinusoid. Figure 1 illustrates a binary ASK signal (lower), together
with the binary sequence which initiated it (upper). Neither signal has been band limited.

There are sharp discontinuities shown at the transition points. These result in the signal

having an unnecessarily wide bandwidth. Band limiting is generally introduced before


transmission, in which case these discontinuities would be „rounded off‟. The band limiting
may be applied to the digital message, or the modulated signal itself. The data rate is often
made a sub-multiple of the carrier frequency. This has been done in the waveform of Fig.

SCILAB PROGRAM:-

clc; //clears the command window


clear all; //clears variables
clf; //clear the current window to default values
t=[0:0.01:4.4*%pi]; // defining the interval t
A=5; //amplitude is set to 5
Wc=5;
Vm=A.*squarewave(t); // the second parameter in the squarewave function is the percent of
. the period in which the signal is positive
Vc=A.*cos(wc.*t); //carrier signal
Fc=wc/(2*%pi);

plot(t,Vm,‟red‟);
