Energy per Bit required for Transmission in ASK, FSK, and PSK


Energy per Bit (Eb) for ASK

In the case of ASK modulation scheme the electric signal used is OFF-ON keying. The distance between the signalling points is √Eb as shown in the figure of the constellation diagrams of ASK, FSK, and PSK.

For Tramasion of binary bit '1', required enery is (√Eb)2

= Eb

For Transmission of binary '0', required energy is 0 as we use OFF-ON keying for transmission of ASK modulated signal.
 
The distance between the signalling points in the case of Binary ASK is √(Eb)

Energy per Bit (Eb) for FSK

** for transmission of binary '1'
Energy = (√Eb)= Eb

** for transmission of binary '0'
Energy =  (√Eb)= Eb

 For BFSK (orthogonal)

The distance between the signalling points in the case of FSK is √(2Eb)

Energy per Bit (Eb) for PSK

Energy required for transmission of binary '1' and '0' are as same as FSK but they differ in the orientations of the corresponding constellation diagrams because they are antipodal instead of orthogonal.  
 
The electrical signal representation technique  of BPSK is
1 = +ve
0 = -ve
 
 The distance between the signalling points in the case of BPSK is 2*(√Eb) For more clearity view the figure of constellation diagrams of ASK, FSK, and PSK.

Constellation Diagram of FSK in Detail

📘 Overview 🧮 Simulator for constellation diagram of FSK 🧮 Theory 🧮 MATLAB Code 📚 Further Reading 📚 BER vs SNR from Constellation   Binary bits '0' and '1' can be mapped to 'j' and '1' to '1', respectively, for Baseband Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) . Signals are in phase here. These bits can be mapped into baseband representation for a number of uses, including power spectral density (PSD) calculations. For passband BFSK transmission, we can modulate signal 'j' with a lower carrier frequency and signal '1' with a higher carrier frequency while transmitting over a wireless channel. Let's assume we are transmitting carrier signal fc1 for the transmission of binary bit '1' and carrier signal fc2 for the transmission of binary bit '0'.

FM Bandwidth and FM Band Explained

FM radio uses the frequency band from 88 MHz to 108 MHz , which is a 20 MHz-wide spectrum . This is the range of carrier frequencies available to stations. 108 MHz − 88 MHz = 20 MHz However, a single FM station occupies only about 200 kHz . This is the bandwidth of the modulated FM signal. 1. Why One FM Station Needs ~200 kHz FM uses frequency modulation . The bandwidth depends on how far the carrier swings. Carson's Rule gives the approximate FM bandwidth: B = 2 ( Δf + f m ) ...

What is Frequency Resolution?

  Formula for Frequency Resolution (in general) The frequency resolution is the smallest frequency difference between two adjacent frequency points in your sampling range. It is determined by the total frequency range and the number of frequency samples  N . The formula for the frequency resolution (or step size)  Δf  is: Δf = (f max  - f min ) / (N - 1) Where: f min  is the minimum frequency in the range (in this case, -50 Hz). f max  is the maximum frequency in the range (in this case, 50 Hz). N  is the number of frequency points / frequency bins. Using the Given Values: From the function: f min  = -50 Hz f max  = 50 Hz N  = 1000 The frequency resolution is: Δf = (50 - (-50)) / (1000 - 1) = 100 / 999 ≈ 0.1001 Hz   Understanding Frequency Resolution in Signal Processing Alternative Formula Using Time Duration Another common way to define frequency resolution, especially in time-domain signal processing, is: Δf = 1 / T W...

BER performance of QPSK with BPSK, 4-QAM, 16-QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM, etc (MATLAB + Simulator)

📘 Overview 📚 QPSK vs BPSK and QAM: A Comparison of Modulation Schemes in Wireless Communication 📚 Real-World Example 🧮 MATLAB Code 📚 Further Reading   QPSK provides twice the data rate compared to BPSK. However, the bit error rate (BER) is approximately the same as BPSK at low SNR values when gray coding is used. On the other hand, QPSK exhibits similar spectral efficiency to 4-QAM and 16-QAM under low SNR conditions. In very noisy channels, QPSK can sometimes achieve better spectral efficiency than 4-QAM or 16-QAM. In practical wireless communication scenarios, QPSK is commonly used along with QAM techniques, especially where adaptive modulation is applied. Modulation Bits/Symbol Points in Constellation Usage Notes BPSK 1 2 Very robust, used in weak signals QPSK 2 4 Balanced speed & reliability 4-QAM ...
