Modems www.getmyuni.com Digital-to-analog modulation Types of digital-to-analog modulation www.getmyuni.com Aspects to digital-to Analog conversion • Bit Rate / Baud Rate • Bit rate is the number of bits per second. Baud rate is the number of signal units per second. Baud rate is less than or equal to the bit rate. • Bit rate is important in computer efficiency • Baud rate is important in data transmission. • Baud rate determines the bandwidth required to send signal • Baud rate = bit rate / # bits per signal unit • An analog signal carries 4 bits in each signal unit. If 1000 signal units are sent per second, find the baud rate and the bit rate • Baud rate = 1000 bauds per second (baud/s) Bit rate = 1000 x 4 = 4000 bps • The bit rate of a signal is 3000. If each signal unit carries 6 bits, what is the baud rate? • Baud rate = 3000/6 =500 bauds/sec www.getmyuni.com Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) Acos(2f ct) binary1 s(t) 0 binary0 On/Off keying • The strength of the carrier signal is varied to represent binary 1 and 0. • Frequency and phase remains the same. • Highly susceptible to noise interference. • Used up to 1200 bps on voice grade lines, and on optical fiber. www.getmyuni.com Relationship between baud rate and bandwidth in ASK • BW = (1 + d) * Nd • Find the minimum bandwidth for an ASK signal transmitting at 2000 bps. The transmission mode is half-duplex. • In ASK the baud rate and bit rate are the same. The baud rate is therefore 2000. An ASK signal requires a minimum bandwidth equal to its baud rate. Therefore, the minimum bandwidth is 2000 Hz. www.getmyuni.com Full duplex ASK • Given a bandwidth of 10,000 Hz (1000 to 11,000 Hz), if draw the full-duplex ASK diagram of the system. We can find the carriers and the bandwidths in each direction. Assume there is no gap between the bands in the two directions. • For full-duplex ASK, the bandwidth for each direction is • BW = 10000 / 2 = 5000 Hz • The carrier frequencies can be chosen at the middle of each band • fc (forward) = 1000 + 5000/2 = 3500 Hz • fc (backward) = 11000 – 5000/2 = 8500 Hz www.getmyuni.com Frequency Shift Keying • Frequency of the carrier is varied to represent digital data (binary 0/1) • Peak amplitude and phase remain constant. • Avoid noise interference by looking at frequencies (change of a signal) and ignoring amplitudes. • Limitations of FSK is the physical capabilities of the carrier. • f1 and f2 equally offset by equal opposite amounts to the carrier freq. • In MFSK more than 2 freq are used, each signal element represents more than one bit Acos(2f1t) binary1 s(t) Acos(2f 2t) binary0 www.getmyuni.com Relationship between baud rate and bandwidth in FSK • FSK shifts between two carrier frequencies • FSK spectrum = combination of two ASK spectra centered on fc1 and fc0. • BW = fc1-fc0 + Nbaud www.getmyuni.com FSK Examples (cont.) • What is the Find the minimum bandwidth for an FSK signal transmitting at 2000 bps. Transmission is in half-duplex mode, and the carriers are separated by 3000 Hz. • Because For FSK BW = baud rate + fc1 - fc0 BW = bit rate + fc1 - fc0 = 2000 + 3000 = 5000 Hz • What is the maximum bit rates for an FSK signal if the bandwidth of the medium is 12,000 Hz and the difference between the two carriers is 2000 Hz. Transmission is in full-duplex mode. – Because the transmission is full duplex, only 6000 Hz is allocated for each direction. – BW = baud rate + fc1 - fc0 – Baud rate = BW - (fc1 - fc0 ) = 6000 - 2000 = 4000 – But because the baud rate is the same as the bit rate, the bit rate is 4000 bps. www.getmyuni.com Phase Shift Keying • Phase of the carrier is varied to represent digital data (binary 0 or 1) • Amplitude and frequency remains constant. • If phase 0 deg to represent 0, 180 deg to represent 1. (2-PSK) • PSK is not susceptible to noise degradation that affects ASK or bandwidth limitations of FSK www.getmyuni.com 4-PSK (QPSK) method www.getmyuni.com 8-PSK • We can extend, by varying the the signal by shifts of 45 deg (instead of 90 deg in 4-PSK) 3 • With 8 = 2 different phases, each phase can represents 3 bits (tribit). www.getmyuni.com Relationship between baud rate and bandwidth in PSK • Bandwith similar to ASK, but data rate can 2 or more times greater. • What is the bandwidth for a 4-PSK signal transmitting at 2000 bps. Transmission is in half-duplex mode. • For PSK the baud rate is the same as the bandwidth, which means the baud rate is 5000. But in 8- PSK the bit rate is 3 times the baud rate, so the bit rate is 15,000 bps. • Given a bandwidth of 5000 Hz for an 8-PSK signal, what are the baud rate and bit rate? • For PSK the baud rate is the same as the bandwidth, which means the baud rate is 5000. But in 8- PSK the bit rate is 3 times the baud rate, so the bit rate is 15,000 bps. www.getmyuni.com Quadrature Amplitude Modulation • PSK is limited by the ability of the equipment to distinguish between small differences in phases. • Limits the potential data rate. • Quadrature amplitude modulation is a combination of ASK and PSK so that a maximum contrast between each signal unit (bit, dibit, tribit, and so on) is achieved. • We can have x variations in phase and y variations of amplitude • x • y possible variation (greater data rates) • Numerous variations.

If the bit rate is 4800 bps, what is the baud rate? • The constellation indicates 8-PSK with the points 45 degrees apart. Since 23 = 8, 3 bits are transmitted with each signal unit. Therefore, the baud rate is 4800 / 3 = 1600 baud • What is the bit rate for a 1000-baud 16-QAM signal. • A 16-QAM signal has 4 bits per signal unit since log216 = 4.

  • Bit & Baud Rate
    What’s The Difference Between Bit Rate And Baud Rate? Apr. 27, 2012 Lou Frenzel | Electronic Design Serial-data speed is usually stated in terms of bit rate. However, another oft- quoted measure of speed is baud rate. Though the two aren’t the same, similarities exist under some circumstances. This tutorial will make the difference clear. Table Of Contents Background Bit Rate Overhead Baud Rate Multilevel Modulation Why Multiple Bits Per Baud? Baud Rate Examples References Background Most data communications over networks occurs via serial-data transmission. Data bits transmit one at a time over some communications channel, such as a cable or a wireless path. Figure 1 typifies the digital-bit pattern from a computer or some other digital circuit. This data signal is often called the baseband signal. The data switches between two voltage levels, such as +3 V for a binary 1 and +0.2 V for a binary 0. Other binary levels are also used. In the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format (Fig. 1, again), the signal never goes to zero as like that of return- to-zero (RZ) formatted signals. 1. Non-return to zero (NRZ) is the most common binary data format. Data rate is indicated in bits per second (bits/s). Bit Rate The speed of the data is expressed in bits per second (bits/s or bps). The data rate R is a function of the duration of the bit or bit time (TB) (Fig. 1, again): R = 1/TB Rate is also called channel capacity C. If the bit time is 10 ns, the data rate equals: R = 1/10 x 10–9 = 100 million bits/s This is usually expressed as 100 Mbits/s.

This paper will discuss scaling along each of these axes, but it is important to clarify exactly what is being scaled. There are at least three interpretations: • Increasing the data rate per wavelength • Increasing the capacity per line card or appliance • Increasing the total fiber capacity, or spectral efficiency These can potentially be scaled independently, or in concert as transponder technology evolves. In subsea deployments total fiber capacity, or spectral efficiency, is usually the dominant factor in determining overall network economics, so it becomes extremely important to understand the most effective way to achieve total capacity, especially when scaling baud rate has become a focal point for many dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) vendors today.

  • Digital Phase Modulation: a Review of Basic Concepts
    Digital Phase Modulation: A Review of Basic Concepts James E. Gilley Chief Scientist Transcrypt International, Inc. [email protected] August , Introduction The fundamental concept of digital communication is to move digital information from one point to another over an analog channel. More specifically, passband dig- ital communication involves modulating the amplitude, phase or frequency of an analog carrier signal with a baseband information-bearing signal. By definition, fre- quency is the time derivative of phase; therefore, we may generalize phase modula- tion to include frequency modulation. Ordinarily, the carrier frequency is much greater than the symbol rate of the modulation, though this is not always so. In many digital communications systems, the analog carrier is at a radio frequency (RF), hundreds or thousands of MHz, with information symbol rates of many megabaud. In other systems, the carrier may be at an audio frequency, with symbol rates of a few hundred to a few thousand baud. Although this paper primarily relies on examples from the latter case, the concepts are applicable to the former case as well. Given a sinusoidal carrier with frequency: fc , we may express a digitally-modulated passband signal, S(t), as: S(t) A(t)cos(2πf t θ(t)), () = c + where A(t) is a time-varying amplitude modulation and θ(t) is a time-varying phase modulation. For digital phase modulation, we only modulate the phase of the car- rier, θ(t), leaving the amplitude, A(t), constant. BPSK We will begin our discussion of digital phase modulation with a review of the fun- damentals of binary phase shift keying (BPSK), the simplest form of digital phase modulation.
