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}$$

MUSIC Algorithm Explained (with MATLAB + Simulator)

Practical Implementation of the MUSIC Algorithm The focus is on how the algorithm works computationally , not just theory, and it explains the denominator (a H E n E n H a) mathematically and intuitively. 1. Introduction The MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) algorithm is a high-resolution method used in signal processing and array processing to estimate the Direction of Arrival (DOA) of signals received by a sensor array. Unlike classical beamforming methods, MUSIC uses eigenvector decomposition of the covariance matrix to separate the signal subspace and noise subspace , allowing it to achieve much higher angular resolution. In practical implementations, MUSIC works by: Simulating or collecting array signals Computing the covariance matrix Performing eigenvalue decomposition Separating signal and noise subspaces Scanning possible angles using a steering vector Constructing a pseudo-spectrum where peaks indicate signal directions 2.

PSD Calculation with FFT: MATLAB Tutorial for Signal Analysis

  Implementation Steps 1. FFT Computes the Frequency Content of a Signal FFT converts a time-domain signal to the frequency domain. If: The signal is sampled at rate $f_s$ You compute an $N_{\text{FFT}}$-point FFT Then each FFT bin corresponds to a frequency resolution of: $$\Delta f = \frac{f_s}{N_{\text{FFT}}}$$ So the FFT gives you accurate frequency content, assuming the signal is stationary and adequately sampled (Nyquist criterion met).  2. Magnitude Squared Gives Power (Not Amplitude) $$P[k] = |X[k]|^2$$ This gives power at each frequency bin, not just amplitude. It represents how much energy is present at each frequency. It's a key step for PSD.  3. Normalization Makes the PSD Physically Meaningful The equation: $$\text{PSD}[k] = \frac{|X[k]|^2}{N_{\text{FFT}} \cdot f_s \cdot U}$$ is derived from first principles and ensures that the u...

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...
