M-ary Encoding M-ary is term derived from word "binary" βMβ simply a digit that represents no. of conditions possible , levels or combinations for given no. of binary variables Itβs advantageous to encode at level higher than binary There are more than 2 conditions possible E.g Digital signal with 4 possible conditions (voltage levels, frequencies, phase & so on) It is an M-ary system where M = 4, If M= 8 and so forth No. of bits produce given no of conditions as Where :- N - - - No. of bits M - - - No of conditions Eq. re- arranged as ππ΅ = M If N= 1 two condition , N= 2 , four condition& so on bit Rate Most basic digital symbol used to represent info. is binary digit or bit Speed of data, expressed in (bits/s or bps). Data rate βRβ is function of duration of bit or bit time (TB) fig R = 1/TB Rate is also β channel capacity βCβ If bit time is 10 ns, data rate equals R = 1/10 x ππβπ = 100 million bits/s ο Usually expressed as 100 Mbits/s. 5
Fig. Data rate is indicated in bits per second (bits/s). Baud Rate The term βbaudβ originates from French engineer Emile Baudot, who invented the 5-bit teletype code Baud rate refers to no.of signal or symbol changes occur / sec A symbol is one of several volt., freq., or phase changes 2 symbols, one for each bit 0 or 1, represents voltage levels In this case, baud or symbol rate is same as bit rate Itβs possible to have more than two symbols per transmission interval, each symbol represents multiple bits With more than 2 symbols, data is transmitted using modulation techniques ο· Baud like bit rate is also a rate of change
6
ο· Baud refer to rate of change of a signal on transmission medium after encoding & modulation occurred ο· Baud is a unit of transmission rate , modulation rate , symbol rate or symbols per second ο· Baud is reciprocal of time of one o/p signaling element π baud = π π
where baud - - - symbol rate /sec ππ - - - time of one signaling element οΆ Signaling element called symbol & encode as change in amplitude , frequency or phase E.g : binary signals are encoded & transmitted one bit at time in form of discrete volt levels logic 1(high) & logic 0 (low) Baud is transmitted one at time & more than one info. bit In binary systems ( FSK & PSK ) baud & bps are equal In higher systems (QPSK & 8-PSK) bps always < than baud For a given BW βBβ the highest theoretical bit rate is 2B In multilevel signaling, Nyquist formulation for ch. capacity ππ = 2B ππππ M
Where
ππ = channel capacity (bps) B = min. Nyquist BW (hertz) M = no. of discrete signals or voltage levels 7
Above formula re-arranged to solve for minimum BW necessary to pass M-ary digitally modulated carrier as follow π

B = π΅π β Nβ is no. of bits encoded into each signaling element ο· Bit rate β refers to rate of change of digital information which is usually binary ο· Baud β refers to rate of change of a signal on a transmission medium after encoding and modulation have occurred. Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) Simplest DM technique β ASK, Where binary info. signal directly modulates ampl of analog carrier ASK similar to standard AM except 2 o/pβs amplitudes ASK also called digital amplitude modulation (DAM) Mathematically π¨
π½πππ (t) = [ 1 + π½π (t) ][ π cos ( ππ t) ] Where π½πππ (t) = ASK wave π½π (t) = digital information modulation signal (volts) 8
A/2 = un-modulated carrier amplitude (volts) ππ = analog carrier radian frequency (radian /second , 2π
ππ t) In above modulating signal π½π (t) a normalized binary WF where +1V = logic 1 & -1V = logic 0 ο For a logic 1 input, π½π (t) = +1V, & reduces to π¨
π½πππ (t) = [ 1 + π ][ cos ( ππ t) ] => Acos ( ππ t) π
ο For logic 0 input,π½π (t) = -1V, & reduces to π¨
π½πππ (t) = [ 1 - π ][ π cos ( ππ t) ] = 0 so the modulated wave π½πππ (t) is either Acos ( ππ t) or 0, means carrier is either βONβ or βOFFβ. ο ASK is sometimes referred as on-off keying (OOK)
