Baseband and carrier Communication
• The bandwidth B represents a measure of frequency range. • It is typically measured in Hz with 1 Hz = 1/sec.• The bandwidth of a signal indicates the frequency range in which the
signal‘s Fourier transform has a power above a certain threshold (typically half of the maximum power)
• Often the frequency f = / 2 is used instead of the angular frequency .
4
Baseband and carrier Communication
• The term baseband designates a frequency range starting at 0 Hz• Example of a baseband signal spectrum:
• In baseband communication baseband signals are sent without any shift in the range of frequencies
• Any communication that uses modulation of a high-frequency carrier signal is called carrier communication
5
Amplitude Modulation (DSB)

– the lower sideband (LSB) containing the frequencies |w| < | |
•The modulated signal in this scheme does not have a discrete component of the carrier frequency for this reason this is called double-sideband suppressed carrier (DSB-SC) modulation

Summary nonlinear modulator:
•Two inputs m(t) and coswct
•The summer output does not contain one of the input coswct
•Circuits which have this characteristic are called balanced circuits.
•The previous circuitry is an example of balanced modulators.
This circuit is balanced to only one input carrier, the other input m(t) still appear at the filter input, which must reject it…….for that reason it is called a single balanced modulator

Problem 4.2-4
This may be verified that the identity for contains a term when n is odd. This is not true when n is even. Hence, the system works for a carrier only when n is odd.

37
Example 4.2
In both cases the filter tuned to Wl will pass the term m(t)coswlt and suppress the other term and giving the required output
m(t)coswct (the carrier frequency is translated to wl from wc)
Frequency mixing or frequency conversion is also known as heterodyning.
All the modulators discussed previously can be used for frequency mixing.
Frequency selected as operation called up-conversion Frequency selected as operation called down-conversion
38
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
For DSB-SC a receiver must generate a carrier in frequency and phase synchronism with the carrier at the transmitter.
Problem:
Transmitter and receiver may be located thousands of miles away, this call for a sophisticated receiver and could be costly.
Solution:
Transmit a carrier Acoswct along with the modulated signal m(t)coswct so no need to generate a carrier at the receiver.
39
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
This type of modulation is called amplitude modulation and denoted by and is given by:

•DSB-SC signal m(t)coswct and AM signal are identical with A+m(t) as modulating signal instead of m(t)
•To sketch ,we sketch A+m(t) & -(A+m(t) ) and fill in between the carrier frequency.
)(tAM
40
Amplitude Modulation (AM)As we sketch A+m(t) & -(A+m(t) ):
Consider two cases:
0)( tmA and 0)( tmA
41
Amplitude Modulation (AM)For simple envelope detection for AM signal is:
A = 0, also satisfies the condition. In this case there is no need to add carrier, because the envelope of DSB-SC signal m(t)coswct is m(t)
Such a DSB-SC signal can be detected by envelope detection
Assume for all t
Let mp is the peak amplitude (positive or negative) of m(t)
Then
Hence the condition is equivalent to
Thus the minimum carrier amplitude required for the envelope detection is mp
42
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
We define the modulation index as:A = carrier amplitude
mp = constant of m(t)
As A is the carrier amplitude and there is no upper bound on A,
This is the condition for the viability of demodulation of Am signal by an envelope detector
43
Example 4.4 p-164
44
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
Sideband and carrier power:
There is a disadvantage of envelope detection in terms of power waste, as the carrier term does not contain any information
The carrier power Pc is given by
The sideband power Ps is given by
Hence the power efficiency is given by:

With condition Thus under best condition only one third of the transmitted power is used for
carrying message, for practical signals the efficiency is even worst
46
Generation of AM signals
• Am signals can be generated by any DSB-SC modulators.
• The input should be A + m(t) instead of just m(t).
• The modulating circuit do not have to be balanced because there is no need to suppress the carrier
Switching action is provided by a single diode and controlled by with

Demodulation of AM Signals
The AM signal can be demodulated coherently by a locally generated carrier. E.g.
twtwtmA cc coscos)( No benefit of sending carrier on the channelNo benefit of sending carrier on the channel
There are two well known methods of demodulation of AM signals:
1) Rectifier detection 2) Envelope detection
Rectifier detector:
AM signal is applied to a diode and resistor circuit, the negative part of the the AM wave will be suppressed.
The output across the resistor is the half wave rectified version of the AM signal means multiplying AM with w(t).

51
Envelope Detector
In an envelope detector, the output follows the envelope of the modulated signal.
The following circuit act as an envelope detector:
• During the positive cycle of the input signal, the diode conducts and the capacitor C charges up to the peak voltage of the input signal.
•When input signal falls below this peak value, the diode is cut off. (because the diode voltage which is nearly the peak voltage is greater than the input signal voltage causing the diode to open ).
•At this stage the capacitor discharge at the slew rate (with a time constant RC)
• during the next positive cycle the process repeats.
52
Envelope Detector (cont…)
During each positive cycle the capacitor charges up to the peak voltage of the input signal and then decays slowly until the next positive cycle.
This behavior of the capacitor makes output voltage Vc(t) follow the envelope of the input signal.
Capacitor discharges during each positive peaks causes a ripple signal of frequency wc at the output
53
Envelope Detector (cont…)
The ripple can be reduced by increasing the time constant RC so the capacitor discharges very little between positive peaks of the input signals
Making RC too large, makes capacitor voltage impossible to follow the envelope.
Conditions:
RC should be large compared to 1/wc, but should be small compared to
Where B is the highest frequency in m(t)
B21
Also requires a condition which is necessary for well defined envelope.
54
Envelope Detector (cont…)
The envelope detector output is with a ripple of frequency wc
The DC term A can be blocked by a capacitor or a simple RC high pass filter, and the ripple may be reduced further by another low-pass RC filter.
55
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
The DSB signals of AM require twice the bandwidth required for the baseband signal!
Idea: Try to send two signals m1(t) and m2(t) simultaneously by modulating them with two carrier signals of same frequency but shifted in phase by –/2
The combined signal is twtmtwtmtmtm cc sin)(cos)()()( 2121
56
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (cont…)
Both modulated signals occupy the same band
• At the receiver the two baseband signals can be separated by using a second carrier that is shifted in phase by –/2
• The first signal m1(t) can be detected by a multiplication with 2cos(ct) followed by a low-pass filter
The second signal x2(t) can be detected accordingly by a multiplication with sin(ct) followed by a low-pass filter
57
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (cont…)
• Thus, two baseband signals, each of bandwidth B, can be simultaneously transmitted over a channel with bandwidth 2B
• This principle is called quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), because the carrier frequencies are in phase quadrature.
58
Amplitude Modulation (Single Sideband SSB)
• The DSB spectrum has two sidebands: USB and LSB
• Both USB and LSB contain complete information of the baseband signal.
• A scheme in which only one sideband is transmitted is known as single-sideband ( SSB) transmission.
• In SSB transmission the required bandwidth is half compared to DSB signal.
• An SSB signal can be coherently (synchronously) demodulated. E.g.
For example multiplying USB signal by shifts its spectrum to the left and right by wc

Generation of SSB Signals
Two methods are generally used to generate SSB signals.
1) Sharp cutoff filters
2) Phase shifting networks
Selective Filtering Method:
• In this method the DSB-SC signal is passed through a sharp cutoff filter to eliminate the undesired sideband.
• To obtain USB , the filter should pass all components above wc, attenuated and completely suppress all components below wc
• Such an operation requires an ideal filter that is practically not possible.
65
Generation of SSB Signals
• This method of generating SSB signal can be used when there is some separation between the passband and stopband.
• In some application this can be achieved e.g. voice signals
Voice signals spectrum shows little power content at the origin. Thus filtering the unwanted sideband is relatively easy.
Tests have shown that frequency components below 300Hz are not important.
