      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Digital Transmitter: Frequency Shift Keying Prelab Exercise

Module by: Matthew Berry

Summary: Students fill in missing lines of code to create a Matlab simulation of a four-symbol frequency shift keying (FSK) transmitter. Students are encouraged to change the symbol period and observe the change in the transmitted signal's spectrum.

Prelab: Matlab Preparation

We have made considerable use of Matlab in previous labs to design filters and determine frequency responses of systems. Matlab is also very useful as a simulation tool.

Use the following Matlab code skeleton to simulate your system and fill in the incomplete portions. Note that the code is not complete and will not execute properly as written. How does the spectrum of the transmitted signal change with T symb T symb ?
