The Principles and Concept DIGITAL RADIO
Applications

Digital Radio

The property that distinguishes a digital radio system from a

conventional AM, FM, and PM radio system is that in a digital radio
system the modulating signals are digital pulses rather than analog
waveforms.

Modulation Techniques:
ASK – Amplitude Shift Keying
FSK – Frequency Shift Keying
PSK – Phase Shift Keying
Binary PSK
Quaternary PSK (QPSK)
16-PSK
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)
