1. Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) The frequency of the carrier is changed according to the message state (high (1) or low (0)). One frequency encodes a 0 while another frequency encodes a 1 (a form of frequency modulation) Continues FSK Integral of m(x) is continues.

2. FSK Bandwidth Limiting factor: Physical capabilities of the carrier Not susceptible to noise as much as ASK Applications –On voice-grade lines, used up to 1200bps –Used for high-frequency (3 to 30 MHz) radio transmission –used at higher frequencies on LANs that use coaxial cable

3. Multiple Frequency-Shift Keying (MFSK) More than two frequencies are used More bandwidth efficient but more susceptible to error u f i = f c + (2i – 1 – M)f d u f c = the carrier frequency u f d = the difference frequency u M = number of different signal elements = 2 L u L = number of bits per signal element

4. FSK Coherent Detection

5. Noncoherent FSK
