Modulation
Digital Modulation – Introduction
Digital Modulation in Wireless Communications
Agenda
 Introductions
 Who Cares?
 What is Modulation
 IQ Modulation Types
 Filters and How Things Go Wrong
 Measurements
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
Modulation for Wireless
 Media
Carrier
 The 3 essential parameters
Amplitude value A(t) ― Amplitude Modulation
Frequency value f(t) ― Frequency Modulation
Phase value φ(t) ― Phase Modulation
V(t) = A cos(2πfc t + Φ)
Analog Modulation
 Amplitude Modulation
AM radio
 Frequency Modulation
FM radio, TV audio signal
 Phase Modulation
TV color image signal (including Amplitude Modulation)
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))

 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

Why Not Just Keep Going?
 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

 Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying
 Gaussian Filtered Form of FSK
 Sum of I and Q results in a constant amplitude circle
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

Summary
 Digital modulation is cheaper, faster, more accurate,
more efficient, more secure
 Higher order modulation is used for greater
transmission rates in the same spectrum occupancy
 Higher order modulation is more susceptible to
noise
 Baseband filters are used to control spectrum
 Wireless Communications Analyzers are used to
evaluate modulation quality
WCA is particularly good at connecting effects in
multiple domains
