Title: - “ASK Modulator Using 555 Timer IC”

 1.0 INTRODUCTION:

 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.

 ASK Demodulator
There are two types of ASK Demodulation techniques. They are −

 Asynchronous ASK Demodulation/detection

 Synchronous ASK Demodulation/detection

The clock frequency at the transmitter when matches with the clock frequency at the receiver, it is
known as a Synchronous method, as the frequency gets synchronized. Otherwise, it is known
as Asynchronous.

 Asynchronous ASK Demodulator

The Asynchronous ASK detector consists of a half-wave rectifier, a low pass filter, and a comparator.
Following is the block diagram for the same.

The modulated ASK signal is given to the half-wave rectifier, which delivers a positive half output.
The low pass filter suppresses the higher frequencies and gives an envelope detected output from
which the comparator delivers a digital output.
  Synchronous ASK Demodulator
Synchronous ASK detector consists of a Square law detector, low pass filter, a comparator, and a
voltage limiter. Following is the block diagram for the same.

The ASK modulated input signal is given to the Square law detector. A square law detector is one
whose output voltage is proportional to the square of the amplitude modulated input voltage. The low
pass filter minimizes the higher frequencies. The comparator and the voltage limiter help to get a clean
digital output.
