• 4.2-1 (early version) For each of the following baseband signals, (i) m(t) = cos 1000t; (ii)
m(t) = 2 cos 1000t + cos 2000t; (iii) m(t) = cos 1000t cos 3000t.

(a) Sketch the spectrum of m(t).


(b) Sketch the spectrum of the DSB-SC signal m(t) cos 10, 000t.
(c) Identify the upper sideband (USB) and the lower sideband (LSB) spectra. item [(d)]
Identify the frequencies in the baseband, and the corresponding frequencies in the
DSB-SC, USB, and LSB spectra. Explain the nature of frequency shifting in each
case.

• 4.2-2: Consider the following baseband message signals, (i) m(t) = sin 150πt; (ii) m(t) =
2 exp(−2t)u(t); (iii) m(t) = cos 200πt + rect(100t); (iv) m(t) = 50 exp(−100|t|) · sgn(t); and

(b) Sketch the spectrum of the DSB-SC signal 2m(t) cos 2, 000πt.

• 4.3-2: In an amplitude modulation system, the message signal is given by figure below.
The carrier frequency is 1 kHz. The modulator output is

sAM (t) = 2[b + 0.5m(t)] cos ωc t

(a) Determine the average power in sAM (t) as a function of b and A.


(b) If b = A, determine the modulation index and the modulation power efficiency.
(c) Find the minimum value of b such that the AM signal can still be demodulated via
envelope detection. Determine maximum modulation index and maximum modulation
power efficiency based on the resulting b.

3 SSB

• 4.4-3 A modulating signal m(t) is given by

(a) m(t) = cos 100πt + 2 cos 300πt


(b) m(t) = sin(100πt) sin(500πt)

In each case:

(a) Sketch the spectrum of m(t).


(b) Find and sketch the spectrum of the DSB-SC signal 2m(t) cos 1, 000πt.
(c) From the spectrum obtained in part (ii), suppress the LSB spectrum to obtain the
upper sideband (USB) spectrum.
(d) Knowing the USB spectrum in part (ii), write the expression φU SB (t) for the USB
signal.

• 4.4-4 Find φLSB (t) and φU SB (t) for the modulating signal m(t) = Bsinc(2πBt) with B =
1000 and carrier frequency ωc = 10, 000π. Follow these do-it-yourself steps:

(a) Sketch the spectrum of m(t) and the corresponding DSB-SC signal 2m(t) cos(ωc t).
(b) Find and sketch the spectrum of the LSB from (a).
(c) Find the LSB signal φLSB (t), which is the inverse Fourier transform of the LSB spec-
trum found in part (b). Follow a similar procedure to find φU SB (t)

• 4.4-5 An LSB signal is demodulated synchronously. Unfortunately, the local carrier is not
2 cos ωc t as required, but is cos[(ωc + ∆ω)t + δ]. Show that

(a) When δ = 0, the output y(t) is the signal m(t) with all its spectral components shifted
(offset) by ∆ω.
(b) When ∆ω = 0, the output y(t) is the signal m(t) with phases of all its spectral
components shifted by δ.

In each of these cases, explain the nature of distortion.

4 Superheterodyne Receiver
• 4.8-0: A transmitter transmits an AM signal with a carrier frequency of 1500 kHz. When
an inexpensive radio receiver (which has a poor selectivity in its RF-stage bandpass filter)
is tuned to 1500 kHz, the signal is heard loud and clear. The same signal is also heard (not
as strong) at another dial setting. State, with reasons, at what frequency you will hear this
station. The IF is 455 kHz.

• 4.8-1: A transmitter transmits an AM signal with a carrier frequency of 1470 kHz. When
a superheterodyne radio receiver (which has a poor selectivity in its RF-stage bandpass
filter) is tuned to 1530 kHz, the signal is heard loud and clear. If this radio is cheap, its
front-end bandpass filter is not very selective. Thus, the same signa is also heard (not as
strong) when tuned to another carrier frequency setting within the AM range of 535-1605
kHz. State, with reasons, at what frequency you will hear this station. The IF is 455 kHz.

• 4.8-2 (old version): Consider a superheterodyne receiver designed to receive the frequency
band of 1 to 30 Mhz with IF frequency 8 Mhz. What is the range of frequencies generated
by the local oscillator for this receiver? An incoming signal with carrier frequency 10-Mhz
is received at the 10MHz setting. At this setting of the receiver, we also get interference
from a signal with some other carrier frequency if the receiver RF stage bandpass filter has
poor selectivity. What is the carrier frequency of the interfering signal?

• 4.8-3: In shortwave AM radio, the IF is also 455 kHz. A receiver is designed to receive
shortwave broadcasting of 25-meter band between 11.6 and 12.1 MHz.

(a) Determine the frequency range of the local oscillator for this receiver.
(b) Analyze and explain whether it is possible for this receiver to receive both a desired
AM station and an image station within the same 25-meter band.
