Texting Over the Speaker-Air-Microphone (SAM) Channel (m18670)
Author: Ed Doering
Keywords: amplitude shift keying, ASK, bitstream regeneration, bit synchronizer, envelope detector, frame synchronization, LabVIEW, preamble, receiver, receiver filter, speaker-air-microphone channel, text messaging, transmitter
Summary: Texting and instant messaging are familiar and popular communication techniques. Text messages composed of ASCII characters, with each character composed of eight bits, ultimately form a stream of bits transmitted from the source to the receiver. Normally the text message moves through a complex data network, and the user only ... ASK receiver.
