This document discusses different digital communication techniques including coherent and non-coherent detection methods for amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency shift keying (FSK) and quadrature amplitude shift keying (QASK). Coherent detection requires a reference carrier wave and exploits phase information, while non-coherent detection does not require a reference wave. It then describes the receiver designs for coherent and non-coherent detection of ASK and FSK. For QASK, it outlines raising the input signal to the fourth power before bandpass filtering and frequency division to recover the transmitted bit sequence.
