    Hi Im new here, well i been watching the electronics board for some while now. I was just wondering if anybody had worked with frequency shift keying(fsk) at all? If anyone has then please post as i have a few questions.

    No i jus want to be able to send a digital signal. And after talking to my electronics teacher he said that instead of just placing the digital signal on top of the modulated signal, I should use FSK. I was just wondering how you would go about transmitting and recieving the signal.

    Oh OK. Just wondered as that's a Ham Radio data transmission method.

    I have no idea how to help you.. I was just wondering if you had a Ham Licence. Sorry... LOL

    I don't know what a HAM radio is. I've seen em mentioned somewhere but it dont mean nothing to me.

    Just a bunch of old guys sitting in sheds talking to other old guys in sheds in other parts of the world :D

    I like the challenge of global communication old-school style.. especially these days when communicating worldwide is so easy.

    Fishing is only boring if you're not drinking.

    Pretty simple for the transmitting end. Basically in Binary FSK what you need is to switch between 2 frequencies depending on whether a logic 0 or 1 is transmitted.

    As for the receiving end, you can go the non-coherent way. Using 2 band-pass filters see if either one of the frequencies is detected.

    What is your application? I suspect that ASK (placing digital signals on top of analog) would suffice.

    I originally thought about just placing the digital signal ontop of the carry signal however there is a chance that the signal i shall be recieving wont be all tht great.

    What i want to do is place a webcam ontop of a rc car. So i need to be able to transmit the 2 data channels bk. So thought use fsk. And after speaking to my electronics tutor he siad tht would prob be the best bet. If you got any other ideas i very willing to hear them. Just tht finding a fsk circuit to base mine on, on the net aint the easiest. Cheers
