Modulation • Carrier signal is a continuous electrical signal • Carries no information • Three types of modulations enable carrier signals to carry information • Height of signal • Frequency of signal • Relative starting point • Modulation can be done on analog or digital transmissions CWNA Guide to Wireless LANs, Second EditionCCRI J. Bernardini

  29. Analog and Digital Modulation • Analog Transmission use analog carrier signals and analog modulation. • Digital Transmission use analog carrier signals and digital modulation. • Modem (MOdulator/DEModulator): Used when digital signals must be transmitted over analog medium • On originating end, converts distinct digital signals into continuous analog signal for transmission • On receiving end, reverse process performed • WLANs use digital modulation of analog signals (carrier signal) CCRI J. Bernardini

  30. Analog vs. Digital Transmissions Analog Signal = A signal that has continuously varying voltages, frequencies, or phases. All amplitude values are present from minimum to maximum signal levels. Digital Signal = A signal in which information is carried in a limited number of different discrete states or levels; High/Low, One/Zero, 1/0 CWNA Guide to Wireless LANs, Second Edition CCRI J. Bernardini

  31. Frequency and Period CWNA Guide to Wireless LANs, Second EditionCCRI J. Bernardini

  32. Analog Modulation • Amplitude: Height of carrier wave • Amplitude modulation (AM): Changes amplitude so that highest peaks of carrier wave represent 1 bit while lower waves represent 0 bit • Frequency modulation (FM): Changes number of waves representing one cycle • Number of waves to represent 1 bit more than number of waves to represent 0 bit • Phase modulation (PM): Changes starting point of cycle • When bits change from 1 to 0 bit or vice versa CWNA Guide to Wireless LANs, Second EditionCCRI J. Bernardini

  33. Digital Modulation • Advantages over analog modulation: • Better use of bandwidth • Requires less power • Better handling of interference from other signals • Error-correcting techniques more compatible with other digital systems • Unlike analog modulation, changes occur in discrete steps using binary signals • Uses same three basic types of modulation as analog Amplitude shift keying (ASK) CWNA Guide to Wireless LANs, Second EditionCCRI J.
