MODULATION
1. What is modulation?
1. What is modulation?
• Modulation is the process of putting information
onto a high frequency carrier for transmission
(frequency translation).
• Once this information is received, the low frequency
information must be removed from the high frequency
carrier. This process is known as “ Demodulation”.

ANALOG AND DIGITAL
Analog-to-analog conversion is the representation of
analog information by an analog signal. One may ask
why we need to modulate an analog signal; it is
already analog. Modulation is needed if the medium is
bandpass in nature or if only a bandpass channel is
available to us.

Frequency Spectrum of an AM signal
The frequency spectrum of AM waveform contains
three parts:
1. A component at the carrier frequency fc
2. An upper side band (USB), whose highest frequency
component is at fc+fm
3. A lower side band (LSB), whose highest frequency
component is at fc-fm
The bandwidth of the modulated waveform is twice the
information signal bandwidth.
• Because of the two side bands in the frequency spectrum its
often called Double Sideband with Large Carrier.(DSB-
LC)
• The information in the base band (information) signal is
duplicated in the LSB and USB and the carrier conveys no
information.
Example
We have an audio signal with a bandwidth of 5 KHz.
What is the bandwidth needed if we modulate the signal
using AM?
Example

What is theIndex
significance
of modulation index ?
• m is merely defined as a parameter, which determines the
amount of modulation.
• What is the degree of modulation required to establish a
desirable AM communication link?
Answer is to maintain m<1.0 (m<100%).
• This is important for successful retrieval of the original
transmitted information at the receiver end.

9.Modulation
What is theIndex
significance
of modulation index ?
• If the amplitude of the modulating signal is higher than the
carrier amplitude, which in turn implies the modulation
index
. This will cause severe distortion to the

modulated signal.

• In terms of power efficiency, for m=1 modulation, only
33% power efficiency is achieved which tells us that only
one-third of the transmitted power carries the useful
information.
Double Side Band Suppressed Carrier
(DSB-SC) Modulation
•
The carrier component in full AM or DSB-LC does not convey any
information. Hence it may be removed or suppressed during the
modulation process to attain higher power efficiency.
•
The trade off of achieving a higher power efficiency using DSB-SC
is at the expense of requiring a complex and expensive receiver due
to the absence of carrier in order to maintain transmitter/receiver
synchronization.

• All the transmitted power is contained in the two sidebands
(no carrier present).
• The bandwidth is twice the modulating signal bandwidth.
• USB displays the positive components of sm(t) and LSB
displays the negative components of sm(t).
Generation and Detection of DSB-SC
• The simplest method of generating a DSB-SC signal is
merely to filter out the carrier portion of a full AM (or
DSB-LC) waveform.
• Given carrier reference, modulation and demodulation
(detection) can be implemented using product devices or
balanced modulators.

Unwanted t erm(remove d by LPF)
• It is necessary to have synchronization in both frequency
and phase between the transmitter (modulator) & receiver
(demodulator), when DSB-SC modulation ,which is of the
coherent type, is used.
Both phase and frequency must be known to demodulate
DSB-SC waveforms.
LACK OF PHASE SYNCHRONISATION
Let the received DSB-SC signal be
s DSB  SC ( t )  s m ( t ) cos  c t    Ac
if  is unknown,
v ( t )  s DSB  SC ( t ) cos  c t

But we want just
v o (t ) 
Ac

s m (t )
Due to lack of phase synchronization, we will see that the
wanted signal at the output of LPF will be attenuated by an
amount of cos.
In other words, phase error causes an attenuation of the
output signal proportional to the cosine of the phase error.
The worst scenario is when =/2, which will give rise to
zero or no output at the output of the LPF.
LACK OF FREQUENCY SYNCHRONISATION
Suppose that the local oscillator is not stable at fc but at
fc+D f, then
v ( t )  s DSB  SC ( t ) cos  c  D  t
 Ac s m ( t ) cos  c t cos  c  D  t

Thus, the recovered baseband information signal will vary
sinusoidal according to cos D t
This problem can be overcome by adding an extra
synchronization circuitry which is required to detect  and
D t and by providing the carrier signal to the receiver.
A synchronizer is introduced to curb the synchronization
problem exhibited in a coherent system.

DISADVANTAGE OF USING COHERENT SYSTEMS
• The frequency and phase of the local oscillator signal must
be very precise which is very difficult to achieve.
It requires additional circuitry such as synchronizer circuit
and hence the cost is higher.
Single-Sideband
Modulation
Single Side Band
Modulation (SSB)
How to generate SSB signal?
• Generate DSB-SC signal
• Band-pass filter to pass only one of the sideband
and suppress the other.
For the generation of an SSB modulated signal
to be possible, the message spectrum must have
an energy gap centered at the origin.
• Example of signal with -300 Hz ~ 300 Hz energy gap
Voice : A band of 300 to 3100 Hz gives goodarticulation
• Also required for SSB modulation is a highly selective filter
• Vestigial

Full AM (or DSB-LC)
Sidebands are transmitted in full with the carrier.
Simple to demodulate / detect
Poor power efficiency
Wide bandwidth ( twice the bandwidth of the information
signal)
Used in commercial AM radio broadcasting, one
transmitter and many receivers.
Comparison of Amplitude Modulation methods
DSB-SC
- Less transmitted power than full AM and all the transmitted
power is useful.
- Requires a coherent carrier at the receiver; This results in
increased complexity in the detector(i.e. synchroniser)
- Suited for point to point communication involving one
transmitter and one receiver which would justify the use of
increased receiver complexity.

VSB
Offers a compromise between SSB and DSB-SC
VSB is standard for transmission of TV and similar signals
Bandwidth saving can be significant if modulating signals
are of large bandwidth as in TV and wide band data
signals.
For example with TV the bandwidth of the modulating
signal can extend up to 5.5MHz; with full AM the
bandwidth required is 11MHz
