Bandpass Signaling Review Ø The modulated bandpass signal can be described by Where Modulation Mapping function: Convert m(t) →g(t) Ref : Table 4 -1 Ø The voltage spectrum of the bandpass signal is ØThe PSD of the bandpass signal is Where 2

Amplitude Modulation Ø The Complex Envelope of an AM signal is given by Ac indicates the power level of AM and m(t) is the Modulating Signal Ø Representation of an AM signal is given by Ø Ac[1+m(t)] In-phase component x(t) Ø If m(t) has a peak positive values of +1 and a peak negative value of -1 AM signal 100% modulated Ø Envelope detection can be used if % modulation is less than 100%. 3

AM – Percentage Modulation Ø Definition: The percentage of positive modulation on an AM signal is Ø The percentage of negative modulation on an AM signal is Ø The percentage of overall modulation is If m(t) has a peak positive values of +1 and a peak negative value of -1 AM signal 100% modulated 6

AM Signal Waveform Amax = 1. 5 Ac Amin = 0. 5 Ac % Positive modulation= 50% % Negative modulation =50% Overall Modulation = 50% 7

AM – Percentage Modulation Under modulated (<100%) 100% modulated Over Modulated (>100%) Envelope Detector Can be used Gives Distorted signal 8

AM – Normalized Average Power The normalized average power of the AM signal is If the modulation contains no dc level, then The normalized power of the AM signal is Discrete Carrier Power Sideband power 9

AM – Modulation Efficiency Ø Definition : The Modulation Efficiency is the percentage of the total power of the modulated signal that conveys information. Only “Sideband Components” – Convey information Modulation Efficiency: Highest efficiency for a 100% AM signal : 50% - square wave modulation Normalized Peak Envelope Power (PEP) of the AM signal: Voltage Spectrum of the AM signal: Unmodulated Carrier Spectral Component Translated Message Signal 10

Example 5 -1. Power of an AM signal Suppose that a 5000 -W AM transmitter is connected to a 50 ohm load; Then the constant Ac is given by Without Modulation If the transmitter is then 100% modulated by a 1000 -Hz test tone , the total (carrier + sideband) average power will be The peak voltage (100% modulation) is (2)(707) = 1414 V across the 50 ohm load. The peak envelope power (PEP) is The modulation efficiency would be 33% since < m 2(t) >=1/2 11

Double Side Band Suppressed Carrier (DSBSC) Ø Power in a AM signal is given by Carrier Power Sideband power Ø DSBSC is obtained by eliminating carrier component If m(t) is assumed to have a zero DC level, then Spectrum Power Modulation Efficiency Disadvantages of DSBSC: • Less information about the carrier will be delivered to the receiver. • Needs a coherent carrier detector at receiver 12

Carrier Recovery for DSBSC Demodulation Ø Coherent reference for product detection of DSBSC can not be obtained by the use of ordinary PLL because there are no spectral line components at fc. 14

Carrier Recovery for DSBSC Demodulation Ø A squaring loop can also be used to obtain coherent reference carrier for product detection of DSBSC. A frequency divider is needed to bring the double carrier frequency to fc. 15

Single Sideband (SSB) Modulation Ø An upper single sideband (USSB) signal has a zero-valued spectrum for Ø A lower single sideband (LSSB) signal has a zero-valued spectrum for Ø SSB-AM – popular method ~ BW is same as that of the modulating signal. Note: Normally SSB refers to SSB-AM type of signal USSB LSSB 16

Single Sideband Signal Ø Theorem : A SSB signal has Complex Envelope and bandpass form as: Upper sign (-) Lower sign (+) – Hilbert transform of m(t) USSB LSSB Where and Hilbert Transform corresponds to a -900 phase shift H(f) j -j f 17

Single Sideband Signal Proof: Fourier transform of the complex envelope Upper sign USSB Lower sign LSSB Using Recall from Chapter 4 Upper sign USSB If lower signs were used LSSB signal would have been obtained 18

SSB - Power The normalized average power of the SSB signal Hilbert transform does not change power. SSB signal power is: Power gain factor Power of the modulating signal The normalized peak envelope (PEP) power is: 20

Generation of SSB signals have both AM and PM. The complex envelope of SSB: For the AM component, For the PM component, Advantages of SSB • Superior detected signal-to-noise ratio compared to that of AM • SSB has one-half the bandwidth of AM or DSB-SC signals 21

Generation of SSB Ø SSB Can be generated using two techniques 1. Phasing method 2. Filter Method Ø Phasing method This method is a special modulation type of IQ canonical form of Generalized transmitters discussed in Chapter 4 ( Fig 4. 28) 22

Generation of SSB Ø Filter Method The filtering method is a special case in which RF processing (with a sideband filter) is used to form the equivalent g(t), instead of using baseband processing to generate g(m) directly. The filter method is the most popular method because excellent sideband suppression can be obtained when a crystal oscillator is used for the sideband filter. Crystal filters are relatively inexpensive when produced in quantity at standard IF frequencies. 23
