Abstract: Noise in the communication channel is well established to be a threat to digital bit transmission, resulting in many mistakes at the bit level. Different modulation methods are studied in terms of BER, probability of error and SNR to better comprehend this. In the presence of specific levels of noise in the communication channel, this analysis yields an interesting conclusion that advises the employment of particular modulation methods. A comprehensive analysis of several modulation schemes has been considered. Those include On-Off Key modulation (OOK), Binary Phase Shift Key (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Key (QPSK), Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) and 8-Phase Shift Key (8-PSK). This analysis can aid in the selection of a modulation approach based on the channel condition.
