    Amplitude Shift Keying

    Amplitude shift keying (ASK) is a type of amplitude modulation that represents binary data as variations in the amplitude of a carrier signal. In ASK, a binary 1 is represented by the presence of the carrier signal, while a binary 0 is represented by the absence of the carrier signal. There are two types of ASK demodulation techniques: asynchronous detection using a half-wave rectifier and low-pass filter, and synchronous detection using a square law detector, low-pass filter, comparator, and voltage limiter. ASK modulation and demodulation are used in applications such as radio communications.

    Amplitude Shift Keying

    Amplitude Shift Keying A


    ASSK
    K is a type of Amplitude Modulation which represents the binary data

    in the form of variations in the amplitude of a signal.

    Any modulated signal has a high frequency carrier. The binary signal when ASK modulated, gives a
    zero value for Low input while it gives the carrier output for High input.
    The following figure represents ASK modulated waveform along with its input.

    To find the process of obtaining this ASK modulated wave, let us learn about the working of the ASK
    modulator.

    ASK Modulator

    The ASK modulator block diagram comprises of the carrier signal generator, the binary sequence from
    the message signal and the band-limited filter. Following is the block diagram of the ASK Modulator.

    The carrier generator, sends a continuous high-frequency carrier. The binary sequence from the
    message signal makes the unipolar input to be either High or Low. The high signal closes the switch,
    allowing a carrier wave. Hence, the output will be the carrier signal at high input. When there is low
    input, the switch opens, allowing no voltage to appear. Hence, the output will be low.

    The band-limiting filter, shapes the pulse depending upon the amplitude and phase characteristics of
    the band-limiting filter or the pulse-shaping filter.

    ASK Demodulator

    There are two types of ASK Demodulation techniques. They are −


    Asynchronous ASK Demodulation/detection
    Synchronous ASK Demodulation/detection

    The clock frequency at the transmitter when matches with the clock frequency at the receiver, it is
    known as a Synchronous method, as the frequency gets synchronized. Otherwise, it is known as
    Asynchronous.

    Asynchronous ASK Demodulator

    The Asynchronous ASK detector consists of a half-wave rectifier, a low pass filter, and a comparator.
    Following is the block diagram for the same.

    The modulated ASK signal is given to the half-wave rectifier, which delivers a positive half output. The
    low pass filter suppresses the higher frequencies and gives an envelope detected output from which
    the comparator delivers a digital output.

    Synchronous ASK Demodulator

    Synchronous ASK detector consists of a Square law detector, low pass filter, a comparator, and a
    voltage limiter. Following is the block diagram for the same.

    The ASK modulated input signal is given to the Square law detector. A square law detector is one
    whose output voltage is proportional to the square of the amplitude modulated input voltage. The low
    pass filter minimizes the higher frequencies. The comparator and the voltage limiter help to get a clean
    digital output.
