 According to Channi, modulation is “the process of varying some parameter of a periodic waveform in order to use that signal to convey a message”. Also, a digital modulation technique is defined as the discrete variation of the carrier wave (Channi, 2016, p. 43). The term "discrete" refers to changes occurring in distinct steps between fixed values. Within digital modulation, attributes like frequency or amplitude switch between set levels to convey binary information. This is in contrast to analog modulation, where the carrier signal varies continuously in accordance with the input signal. According to Channi, modulation is “the process of varying some parameter of a periodic waveform in order to use that signal to convey a message”.

 The Qi standard uses digital modulation to communicate between Tx and Rx bidirectionally. In conclusion digital modulation restricts the carrier wave to a finite number of discrete frequencies, ensuring efficient transmission, high noise immunity (displayed by the signal-to-noise ratio), and enabling techniques like multiplexing and digital compression (Crecraft & Gergely, 2002, pp. 225, 226). The Qi standard uses digital modulation to communicate between Tx and Rx bidirectionally.

 Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) is used to communicate transmitter data to the receiver. To output a binary one, the frequency of the carrier wave is boosted, while a binary 0 is equal to a lower frequency of the carrier wave. The protocol is applied via an oscillator within the transmitter that oscillates between the two frequencies. The principle behind FSK modulation is shown in Figure 1 and a practical representation of the oscillator can be found in Figure 2 (Ciciora et al., 2004, pp. 138–142; Crecraft & Gergely, 2002, p. 227). Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) is used to communicate transmitter data to the receiver.

-FSK communication for Qi technology includes a typical packet structure between Tx and Rx engaged within [[power_transfer_architecture_of_the_qi_standard|the identification and configuration phase]]. The message begins with a preamble for synchronization. Secondly, a header containing the message type and the length information is given. This is followed by the payload data as a third step and finally the packet concludes a checksum for error detection.+FSK communication for Qi technology includes a typical packet structure between Tx and Rx engaged within [[power_transfer_architecture_of_the_qi_standard|the identification and configuration phase]].

 Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) is the modulation protocol used for communication between the receiver and transmitter in the Qi standard. It works by varying the amplitude of the carrier wave. To transmit a digital one, the amplitude of the carrier remains at a constant level. To modulate a digital zero the amplitude is reduced. Similar to FSK the working principle is straightforward. ASK uses 2 different load resistances in the receiver circuit that can be switched on or off, resulting in different voltage drops across the circuit. Depending on the load impedance, the amplitude of the carrier changes accordingly. A visual representation of ASK modulation is provided in Figure 3 and Figure 4. Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) is the modulation protocol used for communication between the receiver and transmitter in the Qi standard.
