EE4512 Analog and Digital Communications

Chapter 6

The DSB-SC AM coherent receiver has a bandpass filter centered at fC and with a bandwidth of twice the bandwidth of s(t) because of the LSB and USB. The output of the multiplier is lowpass filtered with a bandwidth equal to the bandwidth of s(t). r(t) = sDSB-SC(t) + n(t) The DSB-SC AM received signal is r(t) = sDSB-SC(t) + n(t). The bandpass filter passes the modulated signal but filters the noise: z(t) = sDSB-SC(t) + no(t) S&M Eq. 6.3

no(t) has a Gaussian distribution. The bandpass filter has a center frequency of fC = 25 kHz and a -3 dB bandwidth of 8 kHz (25 4 kHz).

Chapter 6

The non-coherent AM (DSB-LC) receiver uses an envelope detector implemented as a semiconductor diode and a lowpass filter: The DSB-LC AM analytical signal is: sDSB-LC AM(t) = AC (c + s(t)) cos (2 fC t) where c is the DC bias (offset).

The instantaneous phase of the FM signal is: FM(t) = 2 [fC + k s(t)] t + ] S&M Eq. 6.57

The instantaneous phase is also call the angle of the signal. The instantaneous frequency is the time rate of change of the angle: f(t) = (1/2) d(t) / dt S&M Eq. 6.58

To avoid ambiguity and distortion in PM signals due to phase wrapping: - < s(t) radians for all t S&M Eq. 6.61

Since FM and PM are both change the angle of the carrier signal as a function of the analog information signal s(t), FM and PM are called angle modulation. For example, is this signal FM, PM or neither: t x(t) = AC cos { 2 fCt + k s() d + } S&M Eq. 6.60 -

Chapter 6

The instantaneous phase of the signal is:


t

x(t) = 2 fCt + k s() d + S&M Eq. p. 336 - which is not a linear function of s(t) so the signal is not PM. The instantaneous frequency of the signal is: fx(t) = (1/2) dx(t) / dt = fC + k s(t) / 2 and the frequency difference fx fC is a linear function of s(t) so the signal is FM. The maximum phase deviation of a PM signal is max | s(t) |. The maximum frequency deviation of a FM signal is f = max | k s(t) |.

Carsons Rule for the approximate bandwidth of an angle modulated signal was developed by John R. Carson in 1922 while he worked at AT&T. Prior to this in 1915 he presaged the concept of bandwidth efficiency in AM by proposing the suppression of a sideband (see S&M p. 326-333): B = 2 ( + 1) fm = 2 (f + fm) Hz
