Data element vs. Signal element
• a data element (bit) is the smallest quantity, that can represent a piece of information
• a signal element (vehicle / carrier) carries data elements (passengers) - can contain one or more bits

Data (bit) rate vs. signal (baud) rate
• r is the number of data elements carried by each signal element
• N = bit rate and S = baud rate• S = N x (1 ÷ r) in bauds• r = log2 L where L is the type of signal elementin analog transmission, S ≤ r

Amplitude Shift Keying
•amplitude of the carrier signal is varied to create signal elements frequency and phase remain constant•implemented using two levels
– Binary ASK (BASK)– also referred to as on-off-keying (OOK)
Amplitude Shift Keying

01.05.23 23:46 14
Amplitude Shift Keying
• modulation produces aperiodic composite signal, with continuous
set of frequencies• bandwidth is proportional
to the signal ( baud ) rate
01.05.23 23:46
• In data communications, it is normally to use full-duplex links with communication in both directions.
• bandwidth is divided into two with two carrier frequencies, as• The figure shows the positions of two carrier frequencies
and the bandwidths.• The available bandwidth for each direction is now 50 kHz,
which leaves us with a data rate of 25 kbps in each direction.

Example 3Example 3
Find the minimum bandwidth for an ASK signal transmitting at 2000 bps. The transmission mode is half-duplex.
SolutionSolution• In ASK: baud rate = bit rate Therefore baud
rate = 2000bps.• minimum bandwidth =baud rate. Therefore,
minimum bandwidth = 2000 Hz.
01.05.23 23:46 20
Given a bandwidth of 5000 Hz for an ASK signal, what are the baud rate and bit rate?
• baud rate = bandwidth, Therefore, baud rate = 5000 bps.
• baud rate = bit rate, Therefore, bit rate = 5000 bps.

• frequency of the carrier signal is varied to represent data
• frequency of the modulated signal is constant for the duration of one signal element and changes for the next signal element if the data element changes amplitude
• Amplitude and Phase remain constant for all signal elements

with the input bit rate.• Mark and Space frequency are selected such
that they are separated from the center frequency by an exact odd multiple of one-half of the bit rate

Differential PSK
– Phase shifted relative to previous transmission rather than some reference signal
– eliminates the need for the synchronous carrier in the demodulation process and this has the effect of simplifying the receiver.
– receiver only needs to detect– phase changes.
Differential PSK
55
01.05.23 23:46 56
• small differences in phase are difficult to detect (PSK)
• QAM works on the basis of altering two characteristics of the carrier :
amplitude and phase• two carriers, one in-phase and another
quadrature with two different levels are used

Bit and baud rate comparison
Example 8Example 8
A constellation diagram consists of eight equally spaced points on a circle. If the bit rate is 4800 bps, what is the baud rate?
SolutionSolution
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
63
Compute the bit rate for a 1000-baud 16-QAM signal.
SolutionSolution
A 16-QAM signal has 4 bits per signal unit since log216 = 4. Thus,
(1000)(4) = 4000 bps
Example 9Example 9
64
Compute the baud rate for a 72,000-bps 64-QAM signal.
SolutionSolution
A 64-QAM signal has 6 bits per signal unit since log2 64 = 6. Thus, 72000 / 6 = 12,000 baud

• Nonreturn to Zero• Unipolar• Bipolar
• Return to zero• Unipolar• Bipolar• Bipolar-AMI
• Manchester
Nonreturn to Zero
70
• the signal remains at the binary level assigned to it for the entire bit time.
• the voltage does not return to zero during the binary 1 interval
• normally generated inside computers, at low speeds, when asynchronous transmission is being used.
Nonreturn to Zero - Bipolar
71
• A bipolar NRZ signal has two polarities, positive and negative.
• The voltage levels are +12 and -12 V. • The popular RS-232 serial computer interface uses bipolar
NRZ, where a binary 1 is a negative voltage between -3 and -25 V and a binary 0 is a voltage between +3 and +25 V.
Return to Zero - Unipolar
72
• The binary 1 level occurs for 50 percent of the bit interval, and the remaining bit interval is zero.
• Only one polarity level is used. • Pulses occur only when a binary 1 is transmitted; no pulse is
transmitted for a binary 0.
Return to Zero - Bipolar
73
• A 50 percent bit interval 13-V pulse is transmitted during a binary 1, and a 23-V pulse is transmitted for a binary 0.
• Because there is one clearly discernible pulse per bit, it is extremely easy to derive the clock from the transmitted data.
• For that reason, bipolar RZ is preferred over unipolar RZ.
Return to Zero – Bipolar AMI
74
• During the bit interval, binary 0s are transmitted as no pulse.• Binary 1s, also called marks, are transmitted as alternating
positive and negative pulses.• One binary 1 is sent as a positive pulse, the next binary 1 as
a negative pulse, the next as a positive pulse, and so on.
Manchester
75
• Also referred to as biphase encoding, can be unipolar or bipolar.
• A binary 1 is transmitted first as a positive pulse, for one half of the bit interval, and then as a negative pulse, for the remaining part of the bit interval.
• A binary 0 is transmitted as a negative pulse for the first half of the bit interval and a positive pulse for the second half of the bit interval
Manchester
76
• The fact that there is a transition at the center of each 0 or 1 bit makes clock recovery very easy.
• However, because of the transition in the center of each bit, the frequency of a Manchester-encoded signal is two times an NRZ signal, doubling the bandwidth requirement.
• It is widely used in LANs.
