Experiment No: 4
1.Name of the Experiment: : Study of Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation and
Demodulation technique.
2. a) Course Outcome: CO591.2 : The students will be able to explain the characteristics of
Frequency modulated signal and their bandwidth.
b) Objective: To study FSK modulation and demodulation
3.Theory:
Frequency shift keying (FSK) is a relatively simple, low performance of digital modulation.
Binary FSK is the simplest form of FSK where the input signal (base band or modulating signal)
can have only two different values (hence name binary). Binary FSK is similar to conventional
frequency modulation except that the modulating signal varies between two discrete voltage
levels (i.e., 1’s and 0’s) rather than a continuously changing value such as sine wave. In Binary
FSK digital information is transmitted through discrete frequency changes of a carrier wave.
With Binary FSK, the center or carrier frequency is shifted (deviated) by the binary input signal.
Consequently the output from a FSK modulator is a step function in the frequency domain.
BFSK uses a pair of discrete frequencies to transmit binary (0’s and 1’s) information. With the
scheme, the “1” is called the mark frequency and the “0” is called the space frequency.
In BFSK the frequency of the carrier is shifted according to the binary symbol but the phase of
the carrier is unaffected. That’s why we have two different frequency signals (𝒇𝑳 , 𝒇𝑯 ) according
to binary symbols. Let there be a frequency shift by Ω. Then we can write
𝜴
𝒇𝑯 = 𝒇𝒄 + 𝟐𝝅 For symbol ‘1’
𝜴
𝒇𝑳 = 𝒇𝒄 − 𝟐𝝅 For symbol ‘0’
BFSK is commonly used in caller ID, at higher bitrates for weather copy. It is used in amateur
radio.
