AFSK Modulator

This is a GNU Radio hierblock to create (A)FSK based modulation. This block expecting input as a bitstream and outputs FSK modulated complex signal stream.

Tested on GNU Radio v3.7.11 - Ubuntu.

Installation

You have to have GNU Radio v3.7.10 (or newer) in your computer first.

$ cd
$ cd gr-HDLC-AFSK/hierblocks/afsk-modulator/
$ gnuradio-companion afsk_mod.grc

• Run the flowgraph (F6).
• Reload Blocks
• Finish. Now this hierblock will appear under HDLC AFSK category as AFSK Modulator block.

Detail

• This AFSK Modulator outputs zero-centered AFSK signal with mark frequency is -0.5 * fsk_dev and space frequency is +0.5 * fsk_dev.

• Baudrate is adjustable (default: 1200 baud). Real baudrate implementation is through symbol repetition.

• Symbols are 1 for bit 0 or space and 0 for bit 1 or mark.

• The output of the modulator is pulse shaped using a root raised cosine filter. This filter ensures only bandwidth-limited modulation signal is produced.

The following is the AFSK Modulator’s bigger picture:
