Introduction
Communication is a process of transferring information from one entity to another.
Communication processes are sign-mediated interactions between at least two agents
which share a repertoire of signs and semiotic rules. Communication is commonly
defined as "the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by
speech, writing, or signs". Communication can be perceived as a two-way process in
which there is an exchange and progression of thoughts, feelings towards a mutually
accepted goal or direction. Communication is a process whereby information is
enclosed in a package and is discrete and imparted by sender to a receiver via a
channel/medium. The receiver then decodes the message and gives the sender a
feedback. Communication requires that all parties have an area of communicative
commonality. There are auditory means, such as speaking, singing and sometimes
tone of voice, and nonverbal, physical means, such as body language, sign language,
paralanguage, touch, eye contact, by using writing. Communication is thus a process
by which we assign and convey meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding.
This process requires a vast repertoire of skills in intra personal and interpersonal
processing, listening, observing, speaking, questioning, analyzing, and evaluating

Digital Communication
Data transmission, digital transmission or digital communications is the physical
transfer of data (a digital bit stream) over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
transmission medium. Examples of such media are copper wires, optical fibers,
wireless communication media, and storage media. The data is often represented as an
electro-magnetic signal, such as an electrical voltage signal, a radiowave or
microwave signal or an infra-red signal. While analog communications represents a
continuously varying signal by a continuously varying signal, a digital transmission
can be broken down into discrete messages. The messages are either represented by a
sequence of pulses by means of a line code (baseband transmission), or by a limited
set of analogue wave forms (passband transmission), using a digital modulation
method. According to the most common definition of digital signal, both baseband
and passband signals representing bit-streams are considered as digital transmission,
while an alternative definition only considers the baseband signal as digital, and the
passband transmission as a form of digital-to-analog conversion.
Data transmitted may be digital messages originating from a data source, for example
a computer or a keyboard. It may also be an analog signal such as a phone call or a
video signal, digitized into a bit-stream for example using pulse-code modulation
(PCM) or more advanced source coding (data compression) schemes. This source
coding and decoding is carried out by codec equipment.
Asynchronous and Synchronous Data Transmission
Asynchronous transmission uses start and stop bits to signify the beginning bit ASCII
character would actually be transmitted using 10 bits e.g.: A "0100 0001" would
become "1 0100 0001 0". The extra one (or zero depending on parity bit) at the start
and end of the transmission tells the receiver first that a character is coming and
secondly that the character has ended. This method of transmission is used when data
are sent intermittently as opposed to in a solid stream. In the previous example the
start and stop bits are in bold. The start and stop bits must be of opposite polarity.
This allows the receiver to recognize when the second packet of information is being
sent.
Synchronous transmission uses no start and stop bits but instead synchronizes
transmission speeds at both the receiving and sending end of the transmission using
clock signals built into each component. A continual stream of data is then sent
between the two nodes. Due to there being no start and stop bits the data transfer rate
is quicker although more errors will occur, as the clocks will eventually get out of
sync, and the receiving device would have the wrong time that had been agreed in
protocol (computing) for sending/receiving data, so some bytes could become
corrupted (by losing bits). Ways to get around this problem include re-
synchronization of the clocks and use of check digits to ensure the byte is correctly
interpreted and received.
Digital Modulation:
Modulation is the process of varying one waveform in relation to another waveform.
In telecommunications, modulation is used to convey a message, or a musician may
modulate the tone from a musical instrument by varying its volume, timing and pitch.
Often a high-frequency sinusoid waveform is used as carrier signal to convey a lower
frequency signal. The three key parameters of a sine wave are its amplitude
("volume"), its phase ("timing") and its frequency ("pitch"), all of which can be
modified in accordance with a low frequency information signal to obtain the
modulated signal.
A device that performs modulation is known as a modulator and a device that
performs the inverse operation of modulation is known as a demodulator (sometimes
detector or demod). A device that can do both operations is a modem(short form
"Modulator-Demodulator").
These are the general steps used by the modulator to transmit data:
1. Group the incoming data bits into codeword, one for each symbol that will be
transmitted.
2. Map the codewords to attributes, for example amplitudes of the I and Q signals
(the equivalent low pass signal), or frequency or phase values.
3. Adapt pulse shaping or some other filtering to limit the bandwidth and form the
spectrum of the equivalent low pass signal, typically using digital signal
processing.
4. Perform Digital-to-Analog Conversion (DAC) of the I and Q signals (since
today all of the above is normally achieved using Digital Signal Processing
(DSP).
5. Generate a high-frequency sine wave carrier waveform, and perhaps also a
cosine quadrature component. Carry out the modulation, for example by
multiplying the sine and cosine wave form with the I and Q signals, resulting in
that the equivalent low pass signal is frequency shifted into a modulated
passband signal or RF signal. Sometimes this is achieved using DSP technology,
for example direct digital synthesis using a waveform table, instead of analog
signal processing. In that case the above DAC step should be done after this
step.
6. Amplification and analog bandpass filtering to avoid harmonic distortion and
periodic spectrum
At the receiver side, the demodulator typically performs:
1. Bandpass filtering.
2. Automatic gain control, AGC (to compensate for attenuation, for example
fading).
3. Frequency shifting of the RF signal to the equivalent baseband I and Q signals,
or to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal, by multiplying the RF signal with a
local oscillator sinewave and cosine wave frequency (see the superheterodyne
receiver principle).
4. Sampling and analog-to-digital conversion (Sometimes before or instead of the
above point, for example by means of undersampling).
5. Equalization filtering, for example a matched filter, compensation for multipath
propagation, time spreading, phase distortion and frequency selective fading, to
avoid inter symbol interference and symbol distortion.
6. Detection of the amplitudes of the I and Q signals, or the frequency or phase of
the IF signal.
7. Quantization of the amplitudes, frequencies or phases to the nearest allowed
symbol values.
8. Mapping of the quantized amplitudes, frequencies or phases to code words (bit
groups).
9. Parallel-to-serial conversion of the code words into a bit stream.
10. Pass the resultant bit stream on for further processing such as removal of any
error-correcting codes.
As is common to all digital communication systems, the design of both the modulator
and demodulator must be done simultaneously. Digital modulation schemes are
possible because the transmitter-receiver pair have prior knowledge of how data is
encoded and represented in the communications system. In all digital communication
systems, both the modulator at the transmitter and the demodulator at the receiver are
structured so that they perform inverse operations.
Non-coherent modulation methods do not require a receiver reference clock signal
that is phase synchronized with the sender carrier wave. In this case, modulation
symbols (rather than bits, characters, or data packets) are asynchronously transferred.
The opposite is coherent modulation.
Synchronization:
The demodulation techniques in digital communication are classified into coherent
and non- coherent methods. Coherent detection and demodulation requires the
utilization of synchronization systems that extract carrier phase and frequency
information from the received signal. Phase and frequency are two parameters used
by synchronization systems, such as Phase-Locked Loops (PLL) to acquire, track and
synchronize to the carrier of the received signal. Costas Loop is a form of phase-
locked loop used for carrier phase recovery.
The Costas Loop is a synchronization system that could be analyzed as two PLLs that
operate in phase quadrature to each other (i.e an upper PLL with Cosine NCO signal
and a lower PLL with a Sine NCO signal). Consequently, the operation of any Costas
Loop system is influenced by the operation of these two PLLs to a great extent.
The components of the system are the Arm Filters, the Loop Filter, three multipliers
that are referred as Phase Detectors, and a Numerical-Controlled Oscillator (NCO).
The Costas Loop is able to obtain the phase and frequency information of the
modulated carrier. Then achieve phase tracking, acquisition and synchronization to
this extracted carrier while demodulating and extracting the data contained in the
received signal.
The incoming signal is multiplied with the cosine and the sine signal generated from
the NCO. The output of the multiplier contains high ( fin + f nco ) and low ( fin − f nco )
frequency components. The high frequency components are filtered out by the low
pass filters (called as Arm filters). The outputs of the Arm filters are again multiplied
to get a signal, which consists of the error (frequency difference) component. The
output of the third multiplier is passed throupgh another narrow band low pass filter
(called Loop filter) to filter out any noise components present and to obtain a value
proportional to the error component. This value is used to change and adjust the NCO
signal frequency and phase so that the error value is minimized. When the NCO phase
and frequency is equal to that of the incoming signal, the loop is said to be locked and
the output of the upper and lower arm filters gives the I and Q components of the
symbol.
Applications of Costas Loop:
In addition to demodulating double-sideband suppressed-carrier AM signals, Costas
Loops are used to demodulate BPSK, QPSK, 8-PSK, OQPSK, FSK, and FM signals.
This characteristic of the Costas Loop makes it suitable for many applications such as
satellite communications, spread spectrum, and CDMA (used in cellular telephone
communications).
Demodulation Techniques
This section presents a discussion of carrier recovery problem in demodulation and a
review of different demodulation techniques available for QAM signals.
Carrier Recovery:
Usually, the generation of modulated signals is quite easy; the same is not true for the
receiving side where it is necessary to rebuild the parameters very precisely the
parameters utilized during transmission Generally, the receivers are subdivided in two
categories: coherent receivers and non-coherent receivers. Non-coherent receivers
don’t need the knowledge of the frequency and the phase of the carrier. However in
the case of angular modulations it is not possible to use a non-coherent detector
because the information is carried by the frequency and phase. Because of that, a
correct coherent demodulation needs a precise synchronization between the oscillator
of the receiver and the one of the transmitter. This process is known as carrier
recovery, has been solved through different techniques and is still subject of study to
continue improving the performances of the systems and to allow communications.
Some of the demodulation techniques are
• Data directed recovery
• Times-four method
• Select points on the diagonal of constellation method
• Decision feedback loop based method.
Receiver: The incoming modulated ASK signal is multiplied with the sine signal

resemble the input data for modulation. with the help of thresh hold detector(decoder)

Theory:
Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) In FSK Modulation, we change the frequency in
response to information, one particular frequency for Logic 1 and another frequency
for Logic 0. In this example below f1 for 1 is higher than f2 used for the 0 bit.
Sin (2 f1t) for bit 1.
Sin (2 f2t) for bit 0.
The general expression for FSK is
From equation 1, it can be seen that the peak shift in the carrier ( ∆f ) is propotionalto
the amplitude of the binary input signal ( vm (t ) ) , and the direction of the shift is
determined by the polarity. The modulating singal is a normalized waveform where
logic 1 = +1 volt and logic 0 = -1volt.Thus,for a logic1 input ,equation1 can be written
as
With binary FSK, the carrier center frequency ( f c ) is shifted up and down in the
frequency domain by binary input signal. As the input changes from logic 1 to a logic
0 and vice versa, the output frequency shift between two frequencies. The waveform
and block diagram of FSK is

Modulation In BPSK (Binary Shift Keying) Modulation, the phase of the carrier is
varied to represent binary 1 or 0. Both peak amplitude remains constant as the phase
changes. BPSK is a form of square-wave modulation of continuous wave signal For
example, if we start a phase of 0deg. to represent binary 1, then we can change the
phase to 180deg. to send binary 0. The phase of the signal during each bit duration is
constant, and its value depends on the bit (0 or 1).

Theory:
Differential Encoding – Is used to provide polarity reversal protection Bit streams
going through the many communications circuits in the channel can be un-
intentionally inverted. Most signal processing circuits can not tell if the whole stream
is inverted. This is also called phase ambiguity. Differential Encoding is used to
protect against this possibility. It is one of the simplest form of error protection coding
done on a baseband sequence prior to modulation Then the phase of the carrier is
varied to represent binary 1 or 0 of encoded data. Both peak amplitude remains
constant as the phase changes.
A Differential Coding system consists of a modulo 2 adder operation as shown below.

Theory:
Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) is a common form of phase modulation that
conveys data by changing the phase of the carrier wave. As mentioned for BPSK and
QPSK there is an ambiguity of phase if the constellation is rotated by some effect in
the communications channel through which the signal passes. This problem can be
overcome by using the data to change rather than set the phase.
For example, in differentially-encoded BPSK a binary '1' may be transmitted by
adding 180° to the current phase and a binary '0' by adding 0° to the current phase. In
differentially-encoded QPSK, the phase-shifts are 0°, 90°, 180°, -90° corresponding to
data '00', '01', '11', '10'.

Receiver: The incoming modulated signal is multiplied with the cosine and the sine

of low pass filter will resemble the input data for modulation on I and Q channel.
With the help of thresh hold detector (decoder) input signal is received on I and Q

Objective: OQPSK Modulation and Demodulation
1. To grasp Offset Quadrature Phase Shift modulation principles and its realization

2. To grasp Offset Quadrature Phase Shift demodulation principles and its
realization methods.
Equipment Needed:
1. Digital Communication Training System (Scientech 2137).
2. Dual trace Oscilloscope for external signal analysis on mimic.
Theory:
Offset Quadrature Pase-Shift Keying (OQPSK) is a variant of Phase-Shift Keying
modulation using 4 different values of the phase to transmit. It is sometimes called
Staggered Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (SQPSK).Taking four values of the phase
(two bits) at a time to construct a QPSK symbol can allow the phase of the signal to
jump by as much as 180° at a time. When the signal is low-pass filtered (as is typical
in a transmitter), these phase-shifts result in large amplitude fluctuations, an
undesirable quality in communication systems. By offsetting the timing of the odd
and even bits by one bit-period, or half a symbol-period, the in-phase and quadrature
components will never change at the same time. In the constellation diagram shown
on the right, it can be seen that this will limit the phase-shift to no more than 90° at a
time. This yields much lower amplitude fluctuations than non-offset QPSK and is
sometimes preferred in practice.
The picture on the right shows the difference in the behavior of the phase between
ordinary QPSK and OQPSK. It can be seen that in the first plot the phase can change
by 180° at once, while in OQPSK the changes are never greater than 90°.

Receiver: The incoming modulated signal is multiplied with the cosine and the sine

Equipment Needed:

Theory:
π/4 QPSK is variant of QPSK uses two identical constellations which are rotated by
45° (π/4 radians, hence the name) with respect to one another. Usually, either the even
or odd symbols are used to select points from one of the constellations or the other
symbols select points from the other constellation. This also reduces the phase-shifts
from a maximum of 180°, but only to a maximum of 135°.
One property this modulation scheme possesses is that if the modulated signal is
represented in the complex domain, it does not have any paths through the origin. In
other words, the signal does not pass through the origin. This lowers the dynamical
range of fluctuations in the signal which is desirable when engineering
communications signals.
Receiver: The incoming modulated signal is multiplied with the cosine and the sine
signal generated from the NCO. The output of the multiplier contains high
( fin + f nco ) and low ( fin − f nco ) frequency components. The high frequency
components are filtered out by the low pass filters (called as Arm filters). The output
of low pass filter will resemble the input data for modulation on I and Q channel with
the help of thresh hold detector (decoder) input signal is received on I and Q channel
of demodulator. Then this data form I and Q channel is give to parallel to serial
converter to give original data.

Equipments Needed:

Theory:
M-ary is a term derived from the word Binary .M simply represents a digital that
corresponds to the number of conditions, levels or combination possible for a given
number of binary variables. It is often advantageous to encode at a level higher than
binary where there are more than two conditions possible e.g a digital signal with four
possible condition is an M-ary system where M=4.The number of bits necessary to
produce a given number of condition is expressed as
N = log 2 M
where N=number of bits necessary.
M=number of conditions, levels or combination possible with N bits.
In M-ary there are M signals with different amplitude to represent these M messages.
Here we have four levels of binary data is modulated with carrier of four different
amplitudes as shown in the waveform.

Theory:
In three bit encoding techniques the incoming base band data stream is divided into
three data streams. Encoding is done in a manner that the rate of three new bit streams
will become 1/3 of that of the main baseband data. In case of 8-PSK we have two
basic functions again, a Sine and a Cosine and each configuration has eight different
phase to indicate a specific bit pattern. Actually, two multilevel baseband signals need
to be established: one for I channel and one for Q channel. These baseband signals are
referred to as mI(t) and mQ(t) for the I and Q signals, respectively. The level chosen
for the two baseband signals correspond to the coefficients needed to represent a PSK
signal as a linear combination of the I and Q signals.

Theory:
In the 8-QAM the data are divided into groups of 3 bit (Tribit), one of which varies
the amplitude of the carrier, the last two the phase. The modulated signal can take 4
different phase and 2 different amplitude, for a total of 8 different states. The 8-QAM
signal can be seen as 4PSK signal which amplitude can take 2 different values. In this
way, each “modulation interval” depends on the state of 3 data bits (“I”, “Q”, “C”):
the first two (“I” and “Q”) determine the phase of the output signal, the third (“C”) the
amplitude.
