Part 3: Digital Communication Over a Single Link

Chapter 8: Digital Modulation

Intermediate~90 min

Learning Objectives

  • Represent digital signals geometrically in signal space and apply the Gram-Schmidt procedure to construct orthonormal bases
  • Derive the ML detector as the minimum-distance rule and construct Voronoi decision regions
  • Design and analyse PAM, QAM, and PSK constellations with Gray mapping for minimum BER
  • Explain the principles of FSK, MSK, and GMSK and their connection to continuous-phase modulation
  • State and apply the Nyquist ISI-free criterion and design raised-cosine and root-raised-cosine pulse-shaping filters
  • Evaluate spectral efficiency and power efficiency trade-offs using the bandwidth efficiency plane
  • Compare modulation formats in terms of bits/symbol, required Eb/N0, and Shannon gap
