METHODS In analog modulation, the modulation is applied continuously in response to the analog information signal. Common analog modulation techniques are: Amplitude modulation (AM) (here the amplitude of the carrier signal is varied in accordance to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating signal) Schematic of 4 baud (8 bit/s) data link containing Double-sideband modulation (DSB) arbitrarily chosen values. Double-sideband modulation with A simple example: A telephone line is designed carrier (DSB-WC) (used on the AM for transferring audible sounds, for example radio broadcasting band) tones, and not digital bits (zeros and ones). Double-sideband suppressed-carrier Computers may however communicate over a transmission (DSB-SC) telephone line by means of modems, which are Double-sideband reduced carrier representing the digital bits by tones, called transmission (DSB-RC) symbols. If there are four alternative symbols Single-sideband modulation (SSB, or (corresponding to a musical instrument that can SSB-AM) generate four different tones, one at a time), the SSB with carrier (SSB-WC) first symbol may represent the bit sequence 00, SSB suppressed carrier modulation the second 01, the third 10 and the fourth 11. If (SSB-SC) the modem plays a melody consisting of 1000 Vestigial sideband modulation (VSB, or tones per second, the symbol rate is 1000 VSB-AM) symbols/second, or baud. Since each tone (i.e., Quadrature amplitude symbol) represents a message consisting of two modulation (QAM) digital bits in this example, the bit rate is twice the symbol rate, i.e. 2000 bits per second. This is Angle modulation, which is similar to the technique used by dialup modems approximately constant envelope as opposed to DSL modems. Frequency modulation (FM) (here the According to one definition of digital signal, the frequency of the carrier signal is varied modulated signal is a digital signal, and in accordance to the instantaneous according to another definition, the modulation is amplitude of the modulating signal) a form of digital-to-analog conversion. Most Phase modulation (PM) (here the phase textbooks would consider digital modulation shift of the carrier signal is varied in schemes as a form of digital transmission, accordance with the instantaneous synonymous to data transmission; very few amplitude of the modulating signal) would consider it as analog transmission. DIGITAL MODULATION FUNDAMENTAL METHODS DIGITAL MODULATION In digital modulation, an analog carrier signal is modulated by a discrete signal. Digital METHODS modulation methods can be considered as digital- The most fundamental digital modulation to-analog conversion, and the techniques are based on keying: corresponding demodulation or detection as analog-to-digital conversion. The changes in the PSK (phase-shift keying): a finite number of phases are used.
