Question 311

How is direct binary FSK modulation generated?

  1. By keying an FM transmitter with a sub-audible tone
  2. By changing an oscillator’s frequency directly with a digital control signalCorrect answer
  3. By using a transceiver’s computer data interface protocol to change frequencies
  4. By reconfiguring the CW keying input to act as a tone generator

Explanation

Direct FSK shifts the carrier oscillator itself between two frequencies under control of the data bits, with no audio stage in between. Keying an FM transmitter with tones is audio frequency shift keying, which produces a similar on-air signal but is indirect rather than direct.
