(e.g., audio signal 4kHz, video 4.3MHz) 3 Modulation (continued) In analog modulation the basic parameter such as amplitude, frequency or phase of a sinusoidal carrier is varied in proportion to the baseband signal m(t). This results in amplitude modulation (AM) or frequency modulation (FM) or phase modulation (PM). The baseband signal m(t) is the modulating signal. The sinusoid is the carrier or modulator. 4 Why modulation? ● To use a range of frequencies more suited to the medium ● To allow a number of signals to be transmitted simultaneously (frequency division multiplexing) ● To reduce the size of antennas in wireless links 5 Amplitude Modulation ● Carrier At cos(cc ) - Phase is constant c 0 - Frequency is constant ● Modulating signal m(t) ● With amplitude spectrum 6 Modulated signal ● Modulated signal: m(t)cosct 7 Modulated signal ● Modulated signal: m(t)cosct 8 Modulated signal ● Baseband spectrum: B Hz ● M() is shifted to M(+ c) and M(- c) 9 Demodulation of DSB signal ● Process modulated signal m(t)cosct ● Multiply modulated signal with cosct 1 et() mt ()cos2 t mt () mt ()cos2 t cc2 11 EM() () M ( 2 ) M ( 2 ) 24 cc 10 Demodulation of DSB signal ● Process modulated signal m(t)cosct 11 Example: AM of a cosine signal ● Modulating signal m(t)=cos mt ● Carrier cos ct ● Modulated signal ϕ(t) = m(t) cos ct =cos mt cos ct 12 Amplitude spectrum ● Baseband signal M () (mm ) ( ) 1 ()ttt cos( ) cos( ) DSB SC2 c m c m (c m ) 13 Demodulation of DSB signal ● Process modulated signal m(t)cosct 14 Modulators ● We need to implement multiplication m(t) cos ct ● Among various methods, we can use - Switching modulators ● Switching modulators can be implemented using diodes - (not included in your exam) 15 Switching modulator using square pulses ● Consider a square pulse train ● The Fourier series for this periodic waveform is 12 1 1 wt( ) cosccc t cos3 t cos5 t 235 ● The signal m(t)w(t) is 12 1 mtwt() () mt () mt ()coscc t mt ()cos3 t 23 16 Switching modulator 17 Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier ● A receiver must generate a carrier in frequency and phase synchronism with the carrier at the transmitter ● This calls for sophisticated receiver and could be quite costly ● An alternative is for the transmitter to transmit the carrier along with the modulated signal ● In this case the transmitter needs to transmit much larger power 18 Amplitude Modulation ● Carrier A cos(ct c ) - Phase is constant c 0 - Frequency is constant. ● Modulation signal m(t) ● With amplitude spectrum ● Full AM signal is AMcc()tA cos tmt ()cos t Amt( ) cosc t ● Spectrum of full AM signal 1 ()()()tM M A ()() AM2 c c c c 19 Full AM Modulated signal ● DSB Modulated signal: ● Full AM signal 20 Full AM Modulated signal ● Signal ● Modulating signal ● Modulated signal: A mt()cos c t 21 Envelope detection is not possible when ● Signal ● Modulating signal ● Modulated signal: A mt()cos c t 22 Envelope detection condition ● Detection condition A + m(t) ≥ 0 ● Let mp be the maximum negative value of m(t).

The carrier has three parameters that could be modulated: the amplitude A (AM) the frequency ωc (FM) and the phase θc (PM). The latter two methods are closely related since both modulate the argument of the cosine. 38 Instantaneous frequency ● By definition a sinusoidal signal has a constant frequency and phase: Acos(ct c ) ● Consider a generalized sinusoid with phase θ(t):(t) Acos(t) ● We define the instantaneous frequency ωi as: d ()t i dt ● Hence, the phase is t ()td ( ) . i 39 Phase modulation We can transmit the information of m(t) by varying the angle θ of the carrier. In phase modulation (PM) the angle θ(t) is varied linearly with m(t) : ()ttkmtcp () where kp is a constant and ωc is the carrier frequency. Therefore, the resulting PM wave is PM()tA cos c tkmt p () The instantaneous frequency in this case is given by d ()tkmt () icpdt 40 Frequency modulation In PM the instantaneous frequency ωi varies linearly with the derivative of m(t).
