  1. WCA102Fundamentals of Digital Modulation Digital Modulation – IntroductionDigital Modulation in Wireless Communications

  2. Agenda • Introductions • Who Cares? • What is Modulation • IQ Modulation Types • Filters and How Things Go Wrong • Measurements

  3. Advantages of Digital Modulation • Spectral efficiency – use of a narrow bandwidth to send a large amount of data • Effective use of limited frequency resources • Good privacy and security features • Digital encryption techniques may be employed • Lower power consumption • Repeatable, more easily produced • Reduced device size

  4. Modulation for Wireless • Media • Carrier • The 3 essential parameters • Amplitude valueA(t) ― Amplitude Modulation • Frequency valuef(t) ― Frequency Modulation • Phase value φ(t) ― Phase Modulation V(t) = A cos(2πfc t + Φ)

  5. Analog Modulation • Amplitude Modulation • AM radio • Frequency Modulation • FM radio, TV audio signal • Phase Modulation • TV color image signal (including Amplitude Modulation)

  6. Transmission of a Digital Message • Basically, it’s the same as Analog Modulation Methods • ASK: Amplitude shift keying • FSK: Frequency shift keying • PSK: Phase shift keying • Digital modulation: Amplitude, frequency and/or Phase are used to represent a digital state V(t) = A(t) cos(2πfc t + Φ) V(t) = A(t) cos(2πf(t) t + Φ) V(t) = A(t) cos(2πf(t) t + Φ(t))

  7. ASK • Amplitude shift keying • 1’s or 0’s represented by different amplitudes • Could be accomplished with an AM system + =

  8. ASK in IQ domain • ASK(OOK) • I: In phase component • Q: Quadrature component I Q 0 I (1) (0) Q 0 Amplitude variation on I axis

  9. FSK • Frequency shift keying • Select frequency based on each bit, 0 or 1 • Could be done with simple FM system + =

  10. Q I FSK in IQ • Frequency change causes constant-rate phase change versus the reference carrier • Amplitude remains constant on the IQ circle • If the phase change is 90 degrees in one symbol period, the modulation type is called Minimum Shift Keying (remember this one) Phase 1 Symbol only turns π(ex) π Time 1Sp 2Sp 3Sp 4Sp 5Sp －π Pos offset Neg. Offset Pos. Offset

  11. PSK • Phase shift keying • At the bit transitions invert the phase by 180° = +

  12. Representation of PSK in IQ • PSK • Specifically, BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying) I Q 0 (1) I (0) Q 0 Change Phase to 180° Relative to reference

  21. Errors in IQ modulation create symbol errors in transmission Vector Errors are created (what’s that?) Noise in the transmission channel create symbol errors Inaccuracies in the receiver creates errors Signal-to-noise requirements increase with higher order modulations Q Q (01) (11) (0010) (0110) (1110) (1010) (0011) (0111) (1111) (1011) I I (0001) (0101) (1101) (1001) (00) (10) (0000) (0100) (1100) (1000) Why Not Just Keep Going?

  22. The World’s Most Popular Modulation • Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying • Gaussian Filtered Form of FSK • Sum of I and Q results in a constant amplitude circle

  23. Symbol Rate and Bit Rate • Modulation type determines number of bits per symbol • BPSK 1 bit/symbol • DBPSK 1 bit/symbol • QPSK 2 bit/symbol • p/4 DQPSK 2 bit/symbol • DQPSK 2 bit/symbol • 8PSK 3 bit/symbol • 16QAM 4 bit/symbol • 64QAM 5 bit/symbol • 256QAM 6 bit/symbol • For a fixed symbol rate, having more bits will provide a faster transfer rate • Setting up a WCA requires you to know the modulation type and symbol rate, not the bit rate
