Frequency shift keying is used mostly in

(A) Radio transmission

(B) Telegraphy
(C) Telephone
(D) None of the above

Ans:-B

Explanation: - Frequency shift keying is a method of transmitting digital signals. FSK was mostly used in
telegraphy. The two binary states 0 and 1 are represented by a specific analog waveform in FSK. Nowadays, a
modem converts the binary data into FSK for transmitting across telephone lines and does the reverse at the
receiving end. There is one more method of transmitting digitals signals where the phase of a transmitted
signal is varied to convey information. This is called Phase Shift Keying (PSK).
