Overview of Modulation Techniques For Wireless: EEL 6593/fall '95/paul Flikkema/USF
Introduction
The purpose of analog modulation is to impress an information-bearing analog waveform onto a carrier for transmission. The purpose of digital modulation is to convert an information-bearing discrete-time symbol sequence into a continuous-time waveform perhaps impressed on a carrier. Key concerns | bandwidth e ciency and implementation complexity. These are a ected by: baseband pulse shape phase transition characteristics envelope uctuations channel non-linearities?

Frequency Modulation
For phase modulation, t = kp mt where mt is the message signal, and kp is the phase deviation constant rad volt. For FM, we have dt = kf mt or dt Zt t = kf msds + t0

where kf is the frequency deviation constant rad sec volt. With t0 = ,1 and t0 = 0, we have

Digital Modulation | Classi cation Constant-envelope methods: Allow use of less expensive
ampli cation not dependent on signal amplitude at the expense of out-of-band emissions. Limited to a spectral e ciency of about 1 bit sec Hz. Examples: MSK, GMSK Linear methods: Higher spectral e ciency, but must use linear ampli ers to maintain performance and to limit out-of-band emissions. Examples: PSK, QAM

Spectral E ciency
SO = B + 2f
where B = bandwidth occupied of RF signal power spectrum and f is the maximum one-way carrier frequency oscillator drift. Remark: Per-channel spectral e ciency for narrowband systems only We can express the bandwidth as B = Rd n where Rd is the channel data rate and n is the spectral e ciency in bits sec Hz.

Combining,
Thus, to minimize spectral occupancy thus maximizing capacity in number of users we can: 1. Lower speech encoder rate trade: cost, delity, or 2. Improve spectral e ciency of modulation trade: complexity, or 3. Improve transmitter receiver oscillators trade: cost.
