Frequency Shift Keying

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
(communications)Frequency Shift Keying - (FSK) The use of frequency modulation to transmit digital data, i.e. two different carrier frequencies are used to represent zero and one.

FSK was originally used to transmit teleprinter messages by radio (RTTY) but can be used for most other types of radio and land-line digital telegraphy. More than two frequencies can be used to increase transmission rates.

Digital modulation techniques are applied to optical communications systems and networks, in areas such as binary and quadrature amplitude shift keying, phase shift keying, differential shift keying, continuous phase shift keying, frequency shift keying, multilevel modulation, and multi-subcarriers.
The PHY uses 2-or 4-level Gaussian frequency shift keying (GFSK) modulation.
Dynamic DR works by enabling the radios at both the transmitting and receiving ends to dynamically switch modes to adapt to the interference level of the environment - bouncing from Cypress's patented, frequency-agile Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology to a Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK) mode.
