OBJECTIVES:
After completing this experiment the students will be able to a) Set up ASK modulator circuits and b)
Identify ASK waveform.
EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED:
THEORY:
Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) is a digital modulation scheme where the binary data is
transmitted using a carrier signal with two different amplitude levels. For binary 0 and 1, the carrier
switches between these two levels. In its simplest form, a carrier is sent during one input and no
carrier is sent during the other. This kind of modulation scheme is called on-off keying.
A simple ASK modulator circuit is shown in figure. Here a sinusoidal high frequency
carrier signal is sent for logic ‘0’ (-5V) and no carrier is sent for logic ‘1’ (+5V). The transistor
works as a switch closes when the input (base) voltage is +5V (logic ‘1’) and shorts the output.
When the input voltage is -5V (logic ‘0’), the switch opens and the carrier signal is directly
connected to the output.
