LINEAR MODULATION

11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 22


Amplitude Modulation
• AM – amplitude modulation
in which
• x(t) is the modulation wave (BB – Base
band signal)
• c(t) is the carrier (CW – continuous wave)
• s(t) is the modulated signal

11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 23


Analogic AM
• DSB-AM Double Side Band
• SSB-AM Single Side Band
• VSB-AM Vestigial Side Band
• LSB-AM Left Side Band
• RSB-AM Right Side Band
• SC-AM Supressed Carrier

11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 24


• The carrier has a higher
frequency than the
modulation signal.
• The modulation signal
modulates the envelope of
the carrier.
• Envelope detection
sometimes may be used
to recover the modulation
signal.
11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 25
EXAMPLE:

For DSB-SC, envelope


detection cannot be used
(the rectified signal is
obtained).

11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 26


Another example:
If the modulation
index exceeds 1, the
envelope detector
cannot be used.

11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 27


AM signal expression

11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 28


P.s.d - power spectral density

For the DSB-AM signal, synchronization is done


with a filter that extracts the carrier from the
received signal spectrum.
11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 29
AM-SC Spectrum

11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 30


SSB Spectrum

Any side band can be sent. This technique is


used to reduce the transmission bandwidth in
multiplexing systems (e.g. phone system).
11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 31
REMARK
• AM is a linear modulation technique
because the BB spectrum shape is not
changed, it is just transposed around the
carrier frequency.

11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 32


AM Parameters
• Modulation signal amplitude: Am
• Carrier amplitude: Ac
• Modulation index is the ratio of Am to Ac: m= Am/Ac
• Maximum frequency of the modulation signal: fm
• Carrier frequency: fc
• Modulated signal bandwidth: B
• Active power: Pa (power contained in side bands)
• Total power:Pt
• Modulation efficiency: h = Pa / Pt
• Oversized factor: k =
11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 33

Amplitude demodulators

1. Coherent demodulator

2. Non-coherent demodulator (envelope


detector)

11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 36


Envelope detection

• It is not used for AM-SC


signals or DSB-AM signals
with m>1.
• No carrier synchronization is
required.
11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 37
Coherent Demodulator
• It modulates again the AM signal and
passes it through a LPF (Low-Pass Filter).
• The synchronized carrier is required in this
case.

11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 38


Digital Modulation Techniques

11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 39


Digital Modulation
• The modulator signal is digital (a sequence
of bits or symbols).

• Analog carriers are used.

• The name of the modulation technique is


given by the modulated parameter:
amplitude, phase or frequency.
11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 40
Binary Digital Modulations

Which of the modulated signals above can be demodulated by


envelope detection?
11/28/2018 Luminita Scripcariu 41
Digital Amplitude Modulation
• ASK (unipolar) - Amplitude Shift Keying
• BASK – Binary ASK (polar)
• M-ASK (ex. 8-ASK, 16-ASK, 32-ASK)
• QAM (ex. 16-QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM)
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
