  Modulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modulation is the process of varying a carrier signal, typically a sinusoidal signal, in order to use that signal to convey information.
A device that performs modulation is known as a modulator and a device that performs the inverse operation of demodulation is known as a demodulator.
In digital modulation, the changes in the signal are chosen from a fixed list (the modulation alphabet) each entry of which conveys a different possible piece of information (a symbol).

 [No title]
This method is based on controlling a phase shifter, at a subharmonic of the desired output carrier frequency, and then using a frequency multiplier to obtain the desired output frequency.
The subtle part of this nonlinear operation is that the multiplier also multiplies the instantaneous phase of the phase shifter output signal by *'N', thus expanding the linear phase shift range to the required 360 degrees.
In addition to direct continuous phase modulation, the proposed method is also suitable for a wide variety of transceiver applications, including phase synchronization of antenna and oscillator arrays, phased array antenna beam steering, indirect frequency modulation, and ultra-small carrier frequency translation.

 Data aided carrier phase tracking system for precoded continuous phase modulated signals - Patent 6771713
Carrier phase tracking loops are used for demodulating the received signal by tracking the carrier phase, and symbol time tracking loops are used for synchronized sampling of Laurent matched filter signals for generating the data samples that used to generate estimates of the transmitted bit stream using trellis demodulation.
The parameter h is the modulation index, f(t) is the pulse response of the smoothing filter in the CPM modulator, and g(t) is the CPM phase response defined in terms of the f(t) pulse response.
For a CPM modulation index of h=0.5, the data stream is precoded into a data stream d.sub.k fed into the data modulator having an input symbol stream.alpha..sub.k with.alpha..sub.k =(-1).sup.k d.sub.k-1 d.sub.k.

 Modulation Basics
A typical spectrum of a digital signal consists of a main lobe, centered on the carrier frequency, where the majority of the signal power is contained, and sidelobes, where the remaining signal power is contained.
Binary phase-shift keying takes each input bit individually and chooses one of two possible phases to represent that bit value—so for example, to send a "0," a phase of 0 degrees might be chosen, and to send a "1," a phase of 180 degrees might be chosen.
The phase separation for binary phase-shift keying, for example, is 360/2 or 180 degrees.

METHOD AND AN ARRANGEMENT FOR MODULATING A SIGNAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a method for modulating a signal, the method using continuous phase modulation and comprising coding and fre- quency modulation of a signal to be transmitted.
The invention further relates to an arrangement for modulating a signal to be transmitted by M-level continuous phase modulation, wherein M can obtain values (2,4,8..) and the symbols to be transmitted comprise more than one bit, the arrangement comprising a coder and a frequency modulator.
The invention allows continuous phase modulation to be imple- mented, which enables efficient frequency spectrum utilization and a relatively simple receiver structure compared with coded CPM methods, for example.

The usual modulation methods are the phase modulation and integrated phase and amplitude (at higher rates than 4800 bps).
Continuous phase means that the transmitted signal bandwidth is limited and faster data rates can be achieved for the same bandwidth.
In this modulation method a sine wave is transmitted and the phase of the sine carries the digital data.

 5.2 Pulse-frequency-modulated elements   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This can be achieved by modulating either the pulse width [32, 33, 34, 35] or the pulse frequency [98] of the carrier structure.
This results in pulse-frequency modulation of the carrier grating; i.e., the local period of the carrier structure is slightly modulated but the local aspect ratio is almost unaffected.
If the phase modulation varies slowly compared with the carrier phase, the transverse feature sizes remain practically constant and pulse-width modulation becomes negligible, leaving pulse-position modulation dominant; the effect can then be interpreted with the use of the detour-phase principle [19, 79].

 MAP- and Laurent-AMP-Based Carrier Synchronization in GMSK
Synchronization of the receiver with the phase of the carrier signal ("carrier synchronization" for short) is necessary for coherent detection of the data modulation.
The loop design is derived from a combination of (1) the foregoing two-pulse-train representation and (2) an equation for an error signal as a function of the estimated carrier phase for the GMSK signal observed (along with noise) during a given number of baud intervals.
The zero-error condition is an estimated carrier phase equal to the open-loop MAP phase estimate.

To conclude, it is noted that, according to specifications [ESA86], phase modulations are normally to be preferred to OBM, except in those cases wherein use of CPM would cause the specified PFD limits to be exceeded.

The baseband modulation is generated by starting with a bitstream 0/1 and a bit-clock giving a timeslice for each bit.
The baseband signal is then modulated using frequency modulation, producing a complete GMSK signal.
GMSK is a spectrally-efficient modulation form, but it needs higher power level than say, quadrature shift keying (QSK) to reliably communicate the same amount of data.

 Symbol synchronization in a continuous phase modulation communications receiver (US6466630)
Symbol synchronization in a continuous phase modulation receiver is achieved by calculating an arctangent function of a digital sample of the output of a quadrature demodulator.
This signal is sampled by integration techniques or filtered to produce signals that represent a complex value whose phase changes at a rate which is half of the symbol rate.
The integrated sample or an arctangent function of the filtered sample is used as a controlling input for a numerically controlled oscillator which regulates the digital sampling.

 Bandwidth-Efficient Modulation
Aerospace had been studying a modulation technique known as Gaussian minimum shift keying for potential application in the Air Force Satellite Control Network and recognized that it might be a good candidate for the AEHF program.
With Gaussian minimum shift keying, there are no well-defined phase transitions to detect for bit synchronization, and the energy from each bit is mixed with the energy from several other bits.
Moreover, to compensate for the intentional intersymbol interference introduced by the Gaussian minimum shift keying modulation process, the optimal receiver would have to look at sequences of bits, not individual bits, to decide what data were sent.

 Communication System Group
Continuous phase modulation (CPM) is a digital modulation method with constant envelope.
All the information are carried by the phase of the signal and this phase should be smooth in order to obtain high spectral efficiency.
CPM is also not very weel suited for fading channels since the signal can not be interleaved without destroying the continuous phase property.

In this thesis, a novel construction for encoded continuous phase modulation (CPM) is introduced which is based on the principles of generalized concatenation.
The inner CPM is partitioned into nested subsystems which increases the free Euclidean distances.
In order to obtain a large distance among the nested CPM subsystems, the scrambler matrices are computed which transfer the original CPM into equivalent CPM with better partitioning properties.

With the ever increasing demand on bandwidth and power in communication systems, continuous phase modulation (CPM), which is a digital modulation scheme, has attracted great deal of attention since it is both bandwidth and power efficient.
CPM is also constant envelope which allows to use of low cost power amplifiers.
