Binary Frequency Shift Keying
Two different ways of generation of FSK
The outputs of two oscillators are selected according to
the baseband binary data ⇒ discontinuous phase

Bandwidth ≈ 1/T = 1/(log2(M)Tb) Hz
Bandwidth efficiency = log2(M) bps/Hz Gray coded 4-ASK constellation
dmin smaller for M-ASK than for M-PSK or M-QAM for the
same average transmitted power ⇒ poorer error performance

QPSK, Offset-QPSK and π/4-QPSK
QPSK has a constant envelope when rectangular pulse
shaping is used ⇒ good performance under non-linear
distortion

Advantages of OFDM:
Good performance under delay spread conditions
(a characteristic of multipath channels)
Bandwidth efficiency
Easier to equalise when compared to single carrier
signals
Disadvantages of OFDM:
Poor performance under Doppler spread conditions
(a characteristic of time-varying channels)
Large Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) ⇒ poor
performance under non-linear distortion
More sensitive to frequency offset and phase noise when
compared to single carrier signals
Spread Spectrum Modulation
In spread spectrum modulation the transmitted spectrum is
spread over a range much greater than the message
bandwidth
