Signal Analysis and an Overview of Modulation Methods

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Applications of Communications Theory ((ACTH))

Abstract

We begin this chapter by setting up ways of handling the signals that appear in a phase modulation system. The concept of signal space is introduced. The simplest phase modulations are then discussed as examples of signal analysis and as introduction to the more general methods that follow in later chapters. Some basic signal processing operations that occur in communications links are introduced, such as baseband conversion, channel filtering, and hard limiting. The chapter requires understanding of the basic ideas of vector spaces and stochastic processes. An excellent treatment of the former from a communications theory point of view appears in Ziemer and Tranter(1) and in many other communications theory texts. References for stochastic processes are Papoulis(2) or Helstrom.(3)
