View Full Version : Signal Modulation

How come a signal modulated using Amplitud Shift Keying and/or Phase Shift Keying (such as QAM) require a bandwidth? I mean, since the frequence is constant; only the amplitude and phase is changed.
Thanks in advance!

It is not constant! The slope dV/dT changes from that of the unmodulated sine wave. This means that for a small periods of time it is different frequencies.
