Information on Amplitude-shift Keying (ASK)

Amplitude-shift keying (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 Amplitude-shift keying include: 
 
  • Frequency modulation (FM)
  • Angle modulation
  • Spread spectrum
