  6. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9 Modulation In telecommunications, modulation is the process of varying a periodicwaveform, i.e. a tone, in order to use that signal to convey a message, in a similar fashion as a musician may modulate the tone from a musical instrument by varying its volume, timing and pitch. Normally a high-frequency sinusoid waveform is used as carrier signal. The three key parameters of a sine wave are its amplitude ("volume"), its phase ("timing") and its frequency ("pitch"), all of which can be modified in accordance with a low frequency information signal to obtain the modulated signal.

  7. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9 Modulation A device that performs modulation is known as a modulator and a device that performs the inverse operation of modulation is known as a demodulator (sometimes detector or demod). A device that can do both operations is a modem (short for "Modulator-Demodulator"). Figure 4.11 shows an illustration of modulation with the horse is the carrier signal and the rider is the message signal.

  9. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.1 Introduction to modulation (or Signal modulation) Modulation modifies a signal to make it suitable for transmission over the selected transmission system. Definition -1: Modulation The principle behind modulation is that a carrier wave, normally at a fixed fre­quency, is modified by the signal that is to transmit across a medium. This can be achieved by applying various modulation techniques. Definition: Demodulation At the receiving end of the system, demodulation is the technique by which the original signal is extracted from the carrier wave. This method allows the use of different carrier frequencies to carry different information channels. Each carrier frequency is capable of carrying one or more information channels, depending on the system. .

  10. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.1 Introduction to modulation (or Signal modulation) Definition -2: Demodulation At the receiving end of the system, demodulation is the technique by which the original signal is extracted from the carrier wave. This method allows the use of different carrier frequencies to carry different information channels. Each carrier frequency is capable of carrying one or more information channels, depending on the system.

  11. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.1 Introduction to modulation (or Signal modulation) For example, in GSM, each carrier frequency can carry up to eight voice channels (using a single carrier frequency, but dividing the time into eight regularly repeating time slots). Modulation would be used to carry: Analogue signals Digital signals The carrier frequency to be modulated is often referred to as the un-modulated car­rier, and can be represented as a sine wave at a specific frequency.

  12. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.1 Introduction to modulation (or Signal modulation) As the carrier is modulated with the analogue or digital signal, the frequency spreads out to cover frequencies on either side of the specified carrier frequency. In general, this spreading depends on how efficient the modulation system actually is (systems vary markedly) and how much information is to be carried. .

  13. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.1 Introduction to modulation (or Signal modulation) The amount of frequency spectrum needed to carry the whole (modulated) sig­nal is referred to as the bandwidth. Bandwidth required increases with: Increasing information Less-efficient modulation schemes Modulation techniques require alteration of one of the major characteristics of the carrier waveform. Modulation techniques are: Amplitude modulation (AM) Frequency modulation (FM) Phase modulation (PM) Commercial radio stations often use AM or FM.

  14. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.1 Introduction to modulation (or Signal modulation) When used to modulate digital signals, the: Amplitude Frequency, or Phase would take discrete values to represent the digital information.

  15. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.1 Introduction to modulation (or Signal modulation) In this case, the modulation would be termed digital modulation: Amplitude shift keying (ASK) Frequency shift keying (FSK) Phase shift keying (PSK) GSM radio: For example, would use a form of FSK, whereas UMTS would use a form of PSK.

  17. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.1 Amplitude modulation (AM) (Analogue) In amplitude modulation, the amplitude of a high frequency carrier signal is varied in accor­dance to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating message signal. Figure 4.12 shows a sinusoidal modulating signal and the corresponding AM signal. <?>

  18. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.1 Amplitude modulation (AM) (Analogue) Figure 4.12: (a) A sinusoidal modulating signal and (b) the corresponding AM signal.

  19. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.2 Frequency modulation (FM) (Analogue) The use of frequency modulation (FM) within the world of telecommunications is very common. Perhaps the best-known use is that within broadcast radio services. FM modulates the frequency of the carrier based upon the level of the modulating signal (Figure 4.13). Better signal-to-noise ratio than AM High-quality audio transmission Unaffected by signal-level variations

  20. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.2 Frequency modulation (FM) (Analogue) Figure 4.13: Frequency modulation - The frequency of the carrier is modulated.

  21. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.2 Frequency modulation (FM) (Analogue) The main advantage of FM is its ability to be unaffected by signal-level fluctuations. The original signal can be decoded however much the broadcast signal varies in level and will continue to do so down to relatively low levels. The signal-to-noise ratio is also improved with the use of FM. The process of modulating and demodulating within FM systems is more complex than that of amplitude modulation (AM) and consequently more costly.

  22. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.2 Frequency modulation (FM) (Analogue) However, FM has the advantage of being able to deliver much higher quality transmission. Figure 4.14 Highlights some of the more important characteristics of the AM and the FM modulation techniques.

  23. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation Figure 4.14: The two most popular analogue modulation techniques are AM and FM.)

  24. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.2 Frequency modulation (FM) (Analogue) In Figure 4.14 sound coming into the microphone at an AM radio station create continuous voltage variations, which are then superimposed on the station’s regularly spaced sinusoidal carrier waves. The AM modulation technique creates localised amplitude variations in the carrier waves actually broadcast to the stations for the radio broadcast listeners. While, for FM broadcasts, the voltage variations coming from the microphone create localised variations in frequency of the carrier waves.

  25. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.3 Example: AM, FM and PAM Key words: Analogue modulating signal Sinusoidal carrier Modulated waveform Analogue modulating signal Figure 4.15 (a) depicts a portion of an analogue modulating signal (See Part-a). Amplitude modulation (AM) (See next slide)

  26. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.3 Example: AM, FM and PAM Amplitude modulation (AM) Figure 4.15 (b) depicts the corresponding modulated waveform obtained by varying the amplitude of a sinu­soidal carrier wave (See Part-b). This is the familiar amplitude modulation (AM) used for radio broadcasting and other applications. A message may also be impressed on a sinusoidal carrier by frequency modulation (FM) or phase modulation (PM). Note: All methods for sinusoidal carrier modulation are grouped under the heading of continuous-wave (CW) modulation.

  27. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.3 Example: AM, FM and PAM Pulse modulation (PM) <Pulse Amplitude Modulation, PAM> Pulse modulation has a periodic train of short pulses as the carrier wave. Figure 4.15 (c) shows a waveform with pulse ampli­tude modulation (PAM). Notice that this PAM wave consists of short samples extracted from the analogue signal at the top of the figure. Sampling is an important signal-processing technique and, subject to certain conditions, it's possible to reconstruct an entire waveform from periodic samples (See Figure 4.18).

  29. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation Because digital transmission and switching systems are used within modern tele­communications networks, there is a requirement to convert any analogue signals that require transmission over the network into a digital form. Conversely, at the receiv­ing end, the digital signals must be reconverted back to their original, analogue form. Pulse code modulation (PCM) is the process of initially digitizing the analogue signal to enable it to be transferred effectively through the network (See Figure 4.16). It modifies a signal to make it suitable for transmission over the selected transmission system, and hence the term "modulation" is used to describe it.

  30. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation However, PCM only digitizes the signal, and a second modulation technique would be required to transfer the newly digitized signal over the chosen transmission system.

  31. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation Figure 4.16: The need for pulse code modulation.

  32. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation Once a signal is digitized by PCM, it can be transferred over different trans­mission systems (and the corresponding modulation techniques) within the network, without having to convert back to analogue form as the signal is passed from transmission system to transmission system. In fact, the signal usually (although not always) stays in PCM format until final conversion back to analogue ready for presentation to the user.

  33. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation The devices that perform the analogue-to-digital (A-D) and digital-to-analogue (D-A) conversions are known as codecs (coder / decoder) and are often located within street cabinets or in the local telephone exchange. There are essentially three processes involved within the production of a PCM signal (See Figure 4.17):

  34. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation Figure 4.17: Pulse code modulation.

  35. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation • Analogue to digital • conversion of the signals • carries three (3) stages • Take a signal • Take samples of the signal • Quantisation (a Processes) • Coding 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation

  36. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation Sampling The first stage of the PCM process is known as sampling. Here the analogue waveform is measured at regular intervals. This frequency, at which the measurements are taken, is known as the sampling rate. The standard sampling rate employed for the A-D conversion of the voice within PCM systems is 8 kHz, or 8000 times per second.

  37. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation 2. Quantization Analogue signals have an infinite number of discrete values, between zero and the peak level of the signal, to represent the amplitude. For transmission on a digital network, however, the number of values that repre­sents the amplitude of the signal must be defined. In PCM systems, once the samples of the source analogue system have been taken, they must be rounded to the nearest value.

  38. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation 2. Quantization (Cont.) In standard PCM, we use 256 values (or levels). This number was carefully chosen to provide adequate voice quality, but a reasonably low bandwidth (to allow relatively more channels to be carried over the transmission equipment). The levels are arranged to enable both quiet and loud sounds to be distinguished evenly (i.e., the levels are not linear).

  39. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation 3. Coding Because we use 256 levels, we need 8 bits to represent each level, and the conversion between the level and the 8-bit representation is performed by the coder. There are two main PCM coding formats for this coding:

  40. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation With 8000 samples per second (each requiring 8 bits to represent the sampled level), this means that each channel will require 64 kbps to represent the voice or data. There will usually be a channel required in each direction (duplex). Each PCM channel requires 64 kbps

  41. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.4 Pulse code modulation PCM was originally designed to digitize telephone-quality speech. Data can be carried within the PCM channels, as long as the information is initially presented as voice-band tones. This is the case with modem (modulator/demodulator) tones generated by a computer data card in the case of a dial-up data connection, or for facsimile (fax) tones. 4.9.2.4.1 Example: Pulse code modulation (PCM) Figure 4.18 and shows the construction of the pulse code modulation.

  44. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.9.2.5 Modulation benefits and applications The primary purpose of modulation in any communication system is to generate a modulated signal suited to the characteristics of the transmission channel. Actually, there are several practical benefits and applications of modulation, such as: Modulation for efficient transmission Modulation to overcome hardware limitations Modulation to reduce noise and interference Modulation for frequency assignment Modulation for multiplexing

  45. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.10 Modulation for multiplexing Multiplexing is the process of combining several sig­nals for simultaneous transmission on one channel. 4.10.1 Multiplexing systems When several communication channels are needed between the same two points, significant economies may be realized by sending all the messages on one transmission facility - a process called multiplexing. Applications of multiplexing range from the vital, if prosaic, telephone network, to the glamour of FM stereo systems.

  46. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.10.1 Multiplexing systems There are many multiplexing techniques used for radio communication, such as: Time-division multi­plexing (TDM) Frequency-division multiplex­ing (FDM) Code-division multiple access (CDMA) Time-division multi­plexing (TDM)

  47. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.10.1 Multiplexing systems Time-division multi­plexing (TDM) Time-division multi­plexing (TDM) uses pulse modulation to put samples of different signals in non-overlapping time slots. Back in Fig. 1.2-1 C, for instance, the gaps between pulses could be filled with samples from other signals. A switching circuit at the destination then separates the samples for signal reconstruction. Applications of multiplexing include FM stereophonic broadcasting, cable TV, and long-distance telephone.

  48. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.10.1 Multiplexing systems II. Frequency-division multiplex­ing (FDM) Frequency-division multiplex­ing (FDM) uses CW modulation to put each signal on a different carrier frequency, and a bank of filters separates the signals at the destination. A variation of multiplexing is multiple access (MA). Whereas multiplexing involves a fixed assignment of the common communications resource (such as frequency spectrum) at the local level, MA involves the remote sharing of the resource.

  49. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.10.1 Multiplexing systems II. Frequency-division multiplex­ing (FDM) For example: Code-division multiple access (CDMA) assigns a unique code to each digital cellular user, and the individual transmissions are separated by correlation between the codes of the desired transmitting and receiving parties. Since CDMA allows different users to share the same frequency band simultaneously, it provides another way of increasing communication efficiency.

  50. W12-Ch-4-Lec: 21 Modulation 4.10.2 Time-division multiplexing technique A sampled waveform is “off” most of the time, leaving the time between samples available for other purposes. In particular, sample values from several different signals can be interlaced into a single waveform. This is the principle of time-division multiplexing (TDM). The simplified TDM system in Figure 4.20 demonstrates the essential features of TDM. Several input signals are pre-filtered by the bank of input low pass filters (LPFs) and sampled sequentially.
