Modulation techniques

Hi there - I know you have been on Wikipedia for a while, but I wanted to welcome you to the project! I noticed your comment on the modulation techniques template. Do you think there are other templates that would be useful too? Cheers, --HappyCamper 11:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Question

You made changed the following text in the Eb/N0 article:

For a PSK, ASK or QAM modulation without pulse shaping, the B/f_s ratio is slightly more than 1. With raised cosine pulse shaping, the ratio may be slightly larger than 0.5.

to

For a PSK, ASK or QAM modulation with pulse shaping such as raised cosine shaping, the B/f_s ratio is usually slightly larger than 1, depending of the pulse shaping filter.

You wrote the following comment: B/f_s is always more than 1, and there's always at least an implicit pulse shaping filter.

According to Nyquist, or Hartley's law, the symbol rate can be twice the bandwidth. Is this only valid for low-pass signals and equivalent baseband signals?

Yes, I suppose that a baseband signal bandwidth can be one half of the symbol rate. ASK can be described as a real valued baseband equvalent, but when modulated it has a symmetric spectrum and bandwidth >= symbol rate. For QAM, the baseband equvalent is complex and spectrum is not symmetric wrt zero frequency, so it may not be fair to call zero-to-max-frequency the bandwidth. I'm not sure about PSK if it's implemented as true phase modulation. Maybe the sentence could be re-written in a clearer way. Alinja 08:51, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
