MULTILEVEL (M-ARY) FREQUENCY SHIFT KEYING

From Digital Communication Systems Using SystemVue

MULTILEVEL (M-ARY) FREQUENCY SHIFT KEYING

Multilevel (M-ary) frequency shift keying (FSK) transmits a symbol than represents N= log 2 Mbits of information. An M-ary FSK signal keys the carrier frequency to one of M discrete frequencies during the symbol time T s for the representation of N binary logic signals for the transmission of information. The modulated sinusoidal signal has an amplitude of A V, a carrier frequency of f c Hz, and a 0 reference phase angle, as given by the analytical expression in Equation 3.54.

SystemVue Simulation of M-ary FSK

On the CD An M-ary FSK coherent digital communication system with AWGN and optimum receiver implemented as a correlator is shown in Figure 3.17 (see Fig3-17.svu on the CD-ROM). To facilitate the simulation in SystemVue, all of the Analysis tokens, except that for the BER token output as the Final Value token, are deleted in the simulation model Fig3-17DT. As described in Chapter 1 the SystemVue Textbook Edition does not permit tokens to be deleted.


Figure 3.17: A 4-FSK coherent digital communication system with BER analysis.

The SystemVue simulation presented here is for an M = 4, 4-FSK, but can be easily extended to any 2 N-FSK ( N = log 2 M) digital communication system. This M-ary FSK system is similar to the Gray-coded M-ary ASK system shown in Figure 3.13. The 4-FSK signals are assumed to have equal apriori probabilities of occurrence (

Network Simulation Software
Network simulation software is designed to model the potential behaviors of computer networks.
Pressure Transmitters
Pressure transmitters translate the low level output of a sensor or transducer to a higher level signal suitable for transmission to a site where it can be further processed. These devices include pressure sensors, transducers, elements, and instruments.
RF Transceivers
RF transceivers are electronic devices that receive and demodulate an RF signal, then modulate and transmit a new signal.
RF Receivers
RF receivers are electronic devices that enable a particular radio signal to be separated from all others being received and converted into a format for video, voice, or data.
RF Modules
RF modules are partially finished circuits that can be incorporated into larger designs.
