Information on ASK

ASK is a simple version of amplitude modulation used for digital modulation in which the two binary values (one and zero) are represented by two different amplitudes of the carrier frequency (normally, on and off).


Other topics in our resources on Communications Systems related to ASK include: 
 
  • Frequency modulation (FM)
  • Angle modulation
  • Spread spectrum

  • Demodulation
  • Phase modulation (PM)
  • Frequency-shift keying (FSK)

  • Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)
  • Phase-shift keying (PSK)
  • Amplitude modulation (AM)
