Simulation of ASK, FSK, and PSK using MATLAB Simulink (with Online Simulator)




Simulation of Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) using MATLAB Simulink

In Simulink, we pick different components/elements from MATLAB Simulink Library. Then we connect the components and perform a particular operation.

Result

A sine wave source, a pulse generator, a product block, a mux, and a scope are shown in the diagram above. The pulse generator generates the '1' and '0' bit sequences. Sine wave sources produce a specific amplitude and frequency. The scope displays the modulated signal as well as the original bit sequence created by the pulse generator. Mux is a tool for displaying both modulated and unmodulated signals at the same time.

The result section shows that binary '1' is modulated by a certain sine wave amplitude of 1 Volt, and binary '0' is modulated by zero amplitude.

Simulation of Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) using MATLAB Simulink

Result

The diagram above shows two sine wave sources, a pulse generator, a switch, a mux, and a scope. The pulse generator generates the '1' and '0' bit sequences. Two different frequencies are provided by sine wave sources. The result section shows that binary '1' is modulated at a higher frequency than binary '0'.

Simulation of Phase Shift Keying (PSK) using MATLAB Simulink

Result

In the result section, binary '1' is modulated with a 180-degree phase shift (corrected), whereas binary '0' is modulated with the original 0-degree phase.

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}$$

Theoretical BER vs SNR for BPSK

Theoretical Bit Error Rate (BER) vs Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for BPSK in AWGN Channel Let’s simplify the explanation for the theoretical Bit Error Rate (BER) versus Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) in an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. Key Points Fig. 1: Constellation Diagrams of BASK, BFSK, and BPSK [↗] BPSK Modulation Transmits one of two signals: +√Eb or −√Eb , where Eb is the energy per bit. These signals represent binary 0 and 1 . AWGN Channel The channel adds Gaussian noise with zero mean and variance N₀/2 (where N₀ is the noise power spectral density). Receiver Decision The receiver decides if the received signal is closer to +√Eb (for bit 0) or −√Eb (for bit 1) . Bit Error Rat...

OFDM Symbols and Subcarriers Explained

This article explains how OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols and subcarriers work. It covers modulation, mapping symbols to subcarriers, subcarrier frequency spacing, IFFT synthesis, cyclic prefix, and transmission. Step 1: Modulation First, modulate the input bitstream. For example, with 16-QAM , each group of 4 bits maps to one QAM symbol. Suppose we generate a sequence of QAM symbols: s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, …, s63 Step 2: Mapping Symbols to Subcarriers Assume N sub = 8 subcarriers. Each OFDM symbol in the frequency domain contains 8 QAM symbols (one per subcarrier): Mapping (example) OFDM symbol 1 → s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7 OFDM symbol 2 → s8, s9, s10, s11, s12, s13, s14, s15 … OFDM sym...
