    The amplitude of an analog carrier signal varies in accordance with the message / modulating signal (bit stream) the level of amplitude can be used to represent binary logic 0s and 1s. In the modulated signal, logic 0 is repre sented by the absence of a carrier, thus giving OFF / ON keying operation and henc e the name given.

    Amplitude Shift Keying generation and detection (binary) Amplitude-shift keying (ASK) is a form of modulation that represents digital

    dat a as variations in the amplitude of a carrier wave.

    The amplitude of an analog carrier signal varies in accordance with the message/ modulating signal (bit stream), keeping frequency and phase constant. The level of amplitude can be used to represent binary logic 0s and 1s. We can think of a carrier signal as an ON or OFF switch. In the modulated signal, logic 0 is repre sented by the absence of a carrier, thus giving OFF/ON keying operation and henc e the name given. Modulation The message signal is a NRZ Unipolar (ON/OFF) format message signal, and the sin usoidal carrier signal are multiplied with each other. The resultant is an ASK s ignal. Whenever the message signal is "0" (represented by 0 volts) the output at the collector of the transistor is 0. When the message signal is "1" (represent ed by say 5 volts) the output at the collector of the transistor is a sinusoidal signal of amplitude=(amplitude of carrier)*(amplitude of message) The Block Diagram is as shown:

    The carrier signal is a sine wave of 10kHz, and the message signal is a square w ave of 1kHz. The circuit is constructed as shown and the output is measured usin g a CRO. The amplitude of message signal is nominally set at 3V (peak to peak) and the ca rrier signal is set at 5V (peak to peak) Demodulation The first part of the demodulation circuit is a half wave rectifier, followed by a low pass filter and a comparator. The diode will remove any unwanted negative amplitudes introduced due to noise. The low pass filter will remove the high fr equency carrier.Then a comparator circuit is used, with the threshold voltage=(amplitude of message signal)/2 to estimate the transmitted pulses. If the input pulse is greater than the thres hold voltage, a new "1" is generated, if the input is lesser than the threshold voltage then a new "0" is generated at the output. The Circuit Diagram is as shown:

    Vref is the threshold voltage and hence must be half of the maximum amplitude of the message signal. In our example we have set the message signal amplitude at 3V hence Vref=1.5V
