(Frequency shift keying) FSK

Changes the frequency (how often in a second) of the analog signal carrying the data and this increases or decreases depending on whether the binary data is a zero or one.

Changes the voltage level to represent the binary bit of one while the frequency and phase stay constant.

mobile station

Consists of the mobile equipment and a smart card called the subscriber identity module (SIM).

GSM

Digitizes and compresses data, then sends it down a channel, each of these channels is divided into 8 time slots.

During the modulation process, the analog signal is modified to represent the digital information by altering one of three characteristics:

BTS ( Base transceiver station )

Houses the radio transceivers that defines a cell and handles the radio link protocols with the mobile station (cell phone)

CDMA wimax WLAN satellite DVB cable modem

QPSK can be seen inmultiple system applications

Bandwidth

In electronic communications, ____________ is the width of the range (or band) of frequencies that an electronic signal uses on a given transmission medium. In this usage, bandwidth is expressed in terms of the difference between the highest-frequency signal component and the lowest-frequency signal component

Symbol

Referred to as a waveform change or signaling even. Each symbol can represent one bit of data, but it can also represent several bits of data.

spread spectrum

Is a method in which electromagnetic energy in a particular bandwidth is spread across the frequency domain, resulting in a signal with a wider bandwidth. This technique is used to establish secure communications and to increase resistance to natural interference and jamming.

BSC (Base station controller)

Pulse code modulation (PCM - digital conversion process)

One of the largest concerns in communications systems is the conversion of an analog signal to a digital signal.

Phase shift keying (PSK)

A digital modulation scheme that conveys data by changing, or modulating, the phase of a reference signal (the carrier wave). It uses a process called phase modulation.

DAMA (demand assigned multiple access)

A technique used to assign satellite channels on a per-request basis.

BPSK (binary phase shift keying)

A very popular digital modulation scheme. ____, shifts phases of the carrier sine wave 180 degrees for each change in binary state. Every time the binary bit of the intelligence changes from a "0" to a "1" or from a "1" to a "0", the phase of the carrier signal changes 180 degrees. Therefore the state of each bit is determined according to the state of the preceding bit. If a series of bits are the same, the phase of the wave will not change. However if the state changes so will the phase of the wave change by 180 degrees.

ASK

The simplest and most common form of ASK operates as a switch, using the presence of a carrier wave to indicate a binary one and its absence to indicate a binary zero. This type of modulation is called on-off keying (OOK), and is used at radio frequencies to transmit morse code (referred to as continuous wave operation.

Encoding

Bandwidth

Used as a synonym for data transfer rate; the amount of data that can be carried from one point to another in a given time period (usually a second). this kind of bandwidth is typically expressed in bits of data per second (bps).

frequency modulation

When the frequency of the output signal is changed by the intelligence (input signal)

FSK

a receiving device looks for specific frequency changes to decode a signal and ignores the voltage spikes caused by noise interference; therefore it is far less susceptible to noise interference from the line.
