AMPLITUDE SHIFT KEYING

To construct the amplitude shift keying modulation & demodulation circuit and to obtain its waveform. EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED: 1. OPAMP-IC 741 2. FET-BFW10 3. Diode-OA79 4. Resistors-10k, 47k, 1k, 11k 5. Capacitors 0.1F 6. Signal generator (0-2) MHz. 7. CRO-(0-20) MHz. 8. RPS-(0-15) V 9. Bread board 10. Connecting wires. THEORY: The simplest method of modulating a carrier with a data stream is to change the amplitude of the carrier wave every time the data changes. This modulation technique is known amplitude shift keying. The simplest way of achieving amplitude shift keying is by switching On the carrier whenever the data bit is '1' & switching off. Whenever the data bit is '0' i.e. the transmitter outputs the carrier for a' 1 ' & totally suppresses the carrier for a '0'. This technique is known as On-Off keying. The ASK waveform is generated by a balanced modulator circuit, also known as a linear multiplier. As the name suggests, the device multiplies the instantaneous signal at its two inputs. The output voltage being product of the two input voltages at any instance of time. One of the inputs is AC coupled 'carrier' wave of high frequency. Generally, the carrier wave is a sine wave since any other waveform would increase the bandwidth, without providing any advantages. The other input which is the information signal to be transmitted, is DC coupled. It is known as modulating signal. PROCEDURE: 1. Construct the ASK modulator and demodulator circuits as per the circuit diagram. 2. A digital data input and carrier signal are given as input to the ASK modulator and observe the output on the CRO. 3. The output of the ASK modulator is given as input to the ASK demodulator circuit. 4. The demodulator output is observed and the graph is plotted for different waveforms.
