function [out,t] = modulate( binary_seq, mod_type, fc, arg4)

% MODULATE .... Digital modulation of binary signalling formats.
%
%	X = MODULATE(B,TYPE,fc) generates samples of the time waveform X
%		using TYPE digital modulation.
%		Valid selections for the TYPE parameter are:
%
%		'ask'	On-off keying (also known as amplitude shift keying);
%		'psk'	Binary phase shift keying;
%		'fsk'	Frequency shift keying.
%
%		B  : binary input sequence.
%		fc : carrier frequency.  For fsk, fc is [f0 f1] where f0 and f1
%		     are frequencies used two represent a binary "0" and "1".
%
%		Here, the binary data rate is set to the default value.
%
%	X = MODULATE(B,MODULATON,fc,Rb) is the same but uses the binary data 
%		rate Rb instead of the default. 
%
%	[X,t] = MODULATE(...) returns sampled values of the waveform,
%		where X is the sampled values and "t" is the vector of 
%		time values at 	which the samples in "X" are defined.
