Modulation • Digital modulation • digital data (0 and 1) is translated into an analog signal (base band) • Required if digital data has to be transmitted over a media that only allows for analog transmission - old analog telephone system and wireless networks • differences in spectral efficiency, power efficiency, robustness • Analog modulation • shifts center frequency of baseband signal up to the radio carrier • Motivation • smaller antennas (e.g., /4, 1 MHz over 1.8 GHz) • Frequency Division Multiplexing • medium characteristics: long waves for submarines, short waves for handheld devices, very short waves for directed microwave transmission • Basic schemes • Amplitude Modulation (AM) • Frequency Modulation (FM) • Phase Modulation (PM)

Digital modulation 1 0 1 • Modulation of digital signals known as Shift Keying • Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK): • very simple • low bandwidth requirements • very susceptible to interference • Frequency Shift Keying (FSK): • needs larger bandwidth • Phase Shift Keying (PSK): • more complex • robust against interference t 1 0 1 t 1 0 1 t
Advanced Frequency Shift Keying • bandwidth needed for FSK depends on the distance between the carrier frequencies • special pre-computation avoids sudden phase shifts MSK (Minimum Shift Keying) • bit separated into even and odd bits, the duration of each bit is doubled • depending on the bit values (even, odd) the higher or lower frequency, original or inverted is chosen • the frequency of one carrier is twice the frequency of the other • Equivalent to offset QPSK • even higher bandwidth efficiency using a Gaussian low-pass filter GMSK (Gaussian MSK), used in GSM
Example of MSK 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 bit data even 0 1 0 1 even bits odd 0 0 1 1 signal h n n hvalue - - + + odd bits low frequency h: high frequency n: low frequency +: original signal -: inverted signal highfrequency MSK signal t No phase shifts!
Q I 1 0 Q 11 10 I 00 01 Advanced Phase Shift Keying • BPSK (Binary Phase Shift Keying): • bit value 0: sine wave • bit value 1: inverted sine wave • very simple PSK • low spectral efficiency • robust, used e.g. in satellite systems • QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying): • 2 bits coded as one symbol • symbol determines shift of sine wave • needs less bandwidth compared to BPSK • more complex • Often also transmission of relative, not absolute phase shift: DQPSK - Differential QPSK (IS-136, PHS) A t 01 11 10 00
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation • Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM): combines amplitude and phase modulation • it is possible to code n bits using one symbol • 2n discrete levels, n=2 identical to QPSK • bit error rate increases with n, but less errors compared to comparable PSK schemes Example: 16-QAM (4 bits = 1 symbol) • Symbols 0011 and 0001 have the same phase φ, but different amplitude a. 0000 and 1000 have different phase, but same amplitude. • used in standard 9600 bit/s modems Q 0010 0001 0011 0000 φ I a 1000
Hierarchical Modulation • DVB-T modulates two separate data streams onto a single DVB-T stream • High Priority (HP) embedded within a Low Priority (LP) stream • Multi-carrier modulation • splitting data into several components, and sending each of these components over separate carrier signals (about 2000 or 8000 carriers) • QPSK, 16 QAM, 64QAM • Example: 64QAM • good reception: resolve the entire 64QAM constellation • poor reception, mobile reception: resolve only QPSK portion • 6 bit per QAM symbol, 2 most significant determine QPSK • HP service coded in QPSK (2 bit), LP uses remaining 4 bit • HP for the standard resolution • LP for the high resolution Q 10 I 00 000010 010101
Antennas: isotropic radiator • Radiation and reception of electromagnetic waves, coupling of wires to space for radio transmission • Isotropic radiator: equal radiation in all directions (three dimensional) - only a theoretical reference antenna • Real antennas always have directive effects (vertically and/or horizontally) • Radiation pattern: measurement of radiation around an antenna z y z ideal isotropic radiator y x x
Antennas: simple dipoles • Real antennas are not isotropic radiators but, e.g., dipoles with lengths /4 on car roofs or /2 as Hertzian dipole • Example: Radiation pattern of a simple Hertzian dipole • Gain: maximum power in the direction of the main lobe compared to the power of an isotropic radiator (with the same average power) /4 /2 y y z simple dipole x z x side view (xy-plane) side view (yz-plane) top view (xz-plane)
Antennas: directed and sectorized • Often used for microwave connections or base stations for mobile phones (e.g., radio coverage of a valley) y y z directed antenna x z x side view (xy-plane) side view (yz-plane) top view (xz-plane) z z sectorized antenna x x top view, 3 sector top view, 6 sector
Antennas: diversity • Grouping of 2 or more antennas • multi-element antenna arrays • Antenna diversity • switched diversity, selection diversity • receiver chooses antenna with largest output • diversity combining • combine output power to produce gain • Co-phasing needed to avoid cancellation /2 /2 /4 /2 /4 /2 + + ground plane
Signal propagation ranges • Transmission range • communication possible • low error rate • Detection range • detection of the signal possible • no communication possible • Interference range • signal may not be detected • signal adds to the background noise sender transmission distance detection interference
Propagation in free space always like light (straight line) Receiving power proportional to 1/d² (d = distance between sender and receiver) Receiving power additionally influenced by fading (frequency dependent) shadowing reflection at large obstacles refraction depending on the density of a medium scattering at small obstacles diffraction at edges Wave Propagation Ground Waves(<2MHz) Sky Waves (<30 MHz) Line of Sight(>30MHz) Signal propagation refraction shadowing reflection scattering diffraction
Spread Spectrum Transmitter Input is fed into a channel encoder • Produces analog signal with narrow bandwidth • Signal is further modulated using sequence of digits • Spreading code or spreading sequence • Generated by pseudonoise, or pseudo-random number generator • Effect of modulation is to increase bandwidth of signal to be transmitted On receiving end, digit sequence is used to demodulate the spread spectrum signal • Signal is fed into a channel decoder to recover data
Spread Spectrum • What can be gained from apparent waste of spectrum? • Immunity from various kinds of noise and multipath distortion • Can be used for hiding and encrypting signals • Several users can independently use the same higher bandwidth with very little interference
Frequency Hoping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) • Signal is broadcast over seemingly random series of radio frequencies • A number of channels allocated for the FH signal • Width of each channel corresponds to bandwidth of input signal • Signal hops from frequency to frequency at fixed intervals • Transmitter operates in one channel at a time • Bits are transmitted using some encoding scheme • At each successive interval, a new carrier frequency is selected
Frequency Hoping Spread Spectrum • Channel sequence dictated by spreading code • Receiver, hopping between frequencies in synchronization with transmitter, picks up message • Advantages • Eavesdroppers hear only unintelligible blips • Attempts to jam signal on one frequency succeed only at knocking out a few bits
DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) • XOR of the signal with pseudo-random number (chipping sequence) • many chips per bit (e.g., 128) result in higher bandwidth of the signal
