REVIEW: CONVENTIONAL
AM(DSB-FC)
Frequency spectrum:
fc-fm
fc
fc+fm
Bandwidth=2 x fmmax
Total Power=Pcarrier +Pusb +Plsb
TWO MAJOR
DISADVANTAGES/DRAWBACKS OF
DSBFC
Large power consumption, where carrier power
constitutes >2/3 transmitted
power.{remember:carrier does not contain any
information}
 Large bandwidth utilized.

Thus, DSBFC is both power and bandwidth
inefficient
SINGLE SIDE BAND FULL
CARRIER (SSB-FC)
Frequency spectrum:
fc-fm
Bandwidth=fm(max)
fc
Total Power=Pcarrier +Pusb
fc+fm
CONT’D…
A form of amplitude modulation in which the
carrier is transmitted at full power but only one
of the sidebands (either the upper or lower) is
transmitted
 Requires less bandwidth than DSBFC but also
produces a demodulated signal with a lower
amplitude

SINGLE SIDE BAND SUPPRESS
CARRIER (SSB-SC)
Frequency spectrum:
fc-fm
Bandwidth=fm(max)
Total Power=+Pusb
fc
fc+fm
CONT’D…
A form of amplitude modulation in which the
carrier is totally suppressed and one of the
sidebands removed.
 Therefore, SSBSC requires half as much
bandwidth as conventional DSB AM and
considerably less transmitted power

COMPARISON OF TIME DOMAIN REPRESENTATION
OF THREE COMMON AM TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS:
Tomasi
EXAMPLE 1
For an AM DSCFC wave with a peak unmodulated
carrier voltage Vc = 10 Vp,frequency of 100kHz, a
load resistor of RL = 10 , frequency of modulating
signal of 10kHz and m = 1, determine the following
i)
Powers of the carrier and the upper and lower sidebands.
ii) Total power of the modulated wave.
iii) Bandwidth of the transmitted wave.
iv) Draw the power and frequency spectrum.
EXAMPLE 1..CONT’D

For the same given values, determine questions
(ii)-(iv) for a AM DSB-SC, AM SSB-FC and AM
SSB-SC systems. Determine also the percentage
of power saved in each of the system design.

METHODS OF GENERATING SSB
i) Filtering method



A filter removes the undesired sideband
producing SSB.
Balanced modulators is used to
suppress the unwanted carrier and
filters to suppress the unwanted
sidebands
Quartz crystal filters are the most
widely used sideband filters since they
are very selective and inexpensive.

ii) Phasing method using two balance
modulator
 Another way to produce SSB uses a phase
shift method to eliminate one sideband.
 Two balanced modulators driven by
carriers and modulating signals 90º out of
phase produce DSB.
 Adding the two DSB signals together
results in one sideband being cancelled
out.

VESTIGIAL SIDEBAND (VSB)
Also called asymmetric sideband system.
 Compromise between DSB & SSB.
 Easy to generate.
 Bandwidth is only ~ 25% greater than
SSB signals.
 Derived by filtering DSB, one pass band is
passed almost completely while just a
trace or vestige of the other sideband is
included.


AM wave is applied to a vestigial sideband filter,
producing a modulation scheme – VSB + C
Mainly used for television video transmission.
