Modulation Workflow & Mathematics Theory

Mathematical Background

1. Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)

The signal is represented by changing the amplitude of the carrier wave. For Binary ASK:

$$s(t) = \begin{cases} A \cos(2\pi f_c t) & \text{for bit 1} \\ 0 & \text{for bit 0} \end{cases}$$

2. Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)

The frequency of the carrier is shifted between two discrete values ($f_0$ and $f_1$):

$$s(t) = \begin{cases} \cos(2\pi f_1 t) & \text{for bit 1} \\ \cos(2\pi f_0 t) & \text{for bit 0} \end{cases}$$

3. Phase Shift Keying (PSK)

The phase of the carrier is shifted by 180° ($\pi$ radians) to represent different bits:

$$s(t) = \begin{cases} \cos(2\pi f_c t) & \text{for bit 1 (0 rad)} \\ \cos(2\pi f_c t + \pi) & \text{for bit 0 (\(\pi\) rad)} \end{cases}$$

⚠️ Simulation Constraints & Rules

To ensure a valid and visually clear simulation, the following digital signal processing (DSP) rules must be followed:

  • • Nyquist Criteria: The Sampling Frequency ($f_s$) must be at least twice the Carrier Frequency ($2 \times f_c$). For a smooth visual curve, $f_s \ge 10 \times f_c$ is recommended.
  • • Carrier vs. Message: The Carrier Frequency should be much higher than the Bit Rate ($f_c \gg R_b$). In these simulators, Bit Duration is fixed at 1s ($R_b = 1$ bps).
  • • Aliasing Warning: If $f_s < 2f_c$, the output waveform will suffer from aliasing, appearing as a lower-frequency distorted wave.
  • • Phase Continuity: These simulators use "Sudden Phase Transition" (Non-coherent) modeling for simplicity.

Modulation FAQ & Help

Why is BPSK more noise-resistant than ASK?

BPSK relies on phase shifts (180 degrees) rather than amplitude. Since noise typically affects the amplitude of a signal, BPSK remains more recognizable to a receiver even in high-interference environments.

What is the Nyquist rate in these simulations?

The Nyquist rate requires the sampling frequency to be at least twice the highest frequency component. In our simulator, if your Carrier is 10Hz, your Sampling must be at least 20Hz.

Hybrid Beamforming | Page 1

Beamforming Techniques Hybrid Beamforming... Page 1 | Page 2 | Hybrid Beamforming: Hybrid beam formation was developed to address some of the limitations of digital pre-coding approaches. Every antenna element is connected to an RF chain in digital pre-coding (beam forming) method. We also know that each RF chain is in charge of providing a separate data stream between the transmitter and the receiver. We know that a larger number of independent data streams leads to higher data rates. It has a spatial multiplexing feature for MIMO. As a result, we may assume that switching from MIMO to massive MIMO will benefit us more in terms of spatial multiplexing in massive MIMO, where each antenna is coupled to a single RF chain. We'll proceed with a definition of hybrid beam forming. Overview of hybrid beam forming with example: Unlike digital beam forming, more than one antenna element is connected to a single RF chain in hybr...

How Windowing Affects Your Periodogram

The windowed periodogram is a widely used technique for estimating the Power Spectral Density (PSD) of a signal. It enhances the classical periodogram by mitigating spectral leakage through the application of a windowing function. This technique is essential in signal processing for accurate frequency-domain analysis.   Power Spectral Density (PSD) The PSD characterizes how the power of a signal is distributed across different frequency components. For a discrete-time signal, the PSD is defined as the Fourier Transform of the signal’s autocorrelation function: S x (f) = FT{R x (Ï„)} Here, R x (Ï„)}is the autocorrelation function. FT : Fourier Transform   Classical Periodogram The periodogram is a non-parametric PSD estimation method based on the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT): P x (f) = \(\frac{1}{N}\) X(f) 2 Here: X(f): DFT of the signal x(n) N: Signal length However, the classical periodogram suffers from spectral leakage due to abrupt truncation of the ...

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) Modulation & Demodulation (with Simulation)

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) Theoretical Foundations: Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) is a discrete frequency modulation scheme wherein the digital information is encoded via instantaneous shifts in the carrier signal's frequency. The fundamental implementation is Binary FSK (BFSK), which maps binary data onto two distinct, discrete spectral states. A binary '1' (the "mark" state) is represented by a carrier frequency \( f_1 \), while a binary '0' (the "space" state) corresponds to frequency \( f_2 \). Each symbol is sustained for a bit interval denoted by \( T_b \). FSK Transmitter Characterization: The mathematical model for the modulated BFSK output \( s(t) \) is defined as: \[ s(t) = \begin{cases} A_c \cos(2\pi f_1 t), & \text{for } m = 1 \\ A_c \cos(2\pi f_2 t), & \text{for } m = 0 \end{cases} \] ...
