THEORY: In the wireless digital communication, it is not easy to transmit the digital data
directly. This is because it needs to pass through the modulator and modulate the carrier
signal in order to send the signal effectively. One of the easiest ways is to use the different
data stream to change the amplitude of carrier, this kind of modulation is called amplitude
modulation, and we call it as amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation in digital
communication.
Figure is the basic circuit diagram of ASK modulator. Let the input data be 5V, when the
signal pass through the buffer, he switch S1 will switch to point A, at this time the ASK
output waveform is f1. When the input data is 0V, when the signal pass through the buffer,
the switch S1 will switch to point B, at this time the ASK output waveform is DC 0V. the
abovementioned is the basic theory of ASK modulation.
In equation (1), the values of amplitude Ai have M types of possible change, the Wc and Øo
denote the cutoff frequency and phase, respectively. If we choose M=2, the XASK(t) signal
will transmit the binary signal, therefore, the values of A are A1=0 and A2=A, A is the
arbitraryconstant so we can obtain the binary ASK modulated signal waveform as shown
.when input logic is 1, then the signal is transmitted out. When the input logic is 0, then no
signal is transmitted, so this also called on-off keying (OOK), this type of method is used in
the past time.
Connection diagram:
PROCEDURE :
1. Connect the power supplies of Scientech 2156 and Scientech 2157 but do not
turn on the power supplies until connections are made for this experiment.
4. On Scientech 2156, connect oscilloscope CH1 to ‘Clock In’ and CH2 to ‘Data
In’ and observe the waveforms.
Conclusion :
1. Amplitude shift keying is fairly simple to implement in practice, but it is less
efficient, because the noise inherent in the transmission channel can deteriorate
the signal so much that the amplitude changes in the modulated carrier wave due
to noise addition, may lead to the incorrect decoding at the receiver.
