In digital modulation systems carrier parameters like phase, frequency or amplitude are varied with information signals.

According to this, there are three basic modulation schemes in digital modulation like:

  • Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)
  • Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
  • Phase Shift Keying (PSK)

 

The advantages provided by digital modulation techniques include:

  • Better performance.
  • Better Error detection and correction efficiency.
  • Better Signal to noise ratio so less prone to interference or noise
