Este documento presenta una introducción a las técnicas de modulación digital. Explica la diferencia entre bits y baudios y define conceptos clave como el cociente Eb/No, la capacidad de información de un sistema de comunicaciones y el límite de Shannon. Luego, describe tres técnicas de modulación digital de un bit: ASK, FSK y PSK, enfocándose en la modulación por amplitud ASK. Finalmente, introduce conceptos como la constelación y cómo esta afecta la robustez de la señal frente al ruido.
