MATLAB Simulation of 2ASK Modulation

This documentation presents a comprehensive simulation of 2ASK (2-Amplitude Shift Keying) modulation using MATLAB m-files, accompanied by corresponding time-domain waveform plots. The simulation process will detail the fundamental principles and implementation steps of 2ASK modulation, including MATLAB code examples that demonstrate key functions such as signal generation, modulation algorithms, and waveform plotting techniques. We will explore the core algorithm where digital data modulates the amplitude of a carrier signal, with implementation details covering parameter configuration, modulation index selection, and signal-to-noise ratio considerations. The discussion will extend to practical applications of 2ASK modulation in digital communication systems and address potential implementation challenges such as noise sensitivity, bandwidth requirements, and error rate performance. Through this documentation, you will gain deeper insights into 2ASK modulation principles and develop practical skills for implementing, simulating, and analyzing modulation schemes using MATLAB's computational capabilities and visualization tools. The provided code examples will include functions for carrier generation, data mapping, modulation operations, and time-domain analysis using MATLAB's plotting functions like plot() and stem() for waveform visualization.
