2. Find s LSB (t) and sUSB (t) for the modulating signal
3. A USB signal is generated by using the phase shift method. If the input of this system is mh (t) instead
of m(t), what will be the output?
4. The local oscillator used for the demodulation of an SSB signal s(t) has a frequency error ∆ f measured
with respect to the carrier frequency f c used to generate s(t). Otherwise, there is perfect synchronism
between this oscillator in the receiver and the oscillator supplying the carrier wave in the transmitter.
Evaluate the demodulated signal for the following two situations:
(a) The SSB signal s(t) consists of the upper sideband only.
(b) The SSB signal s(t) consists of the lower sideband only.
5. Consider a message signal m(t) containing frequency components at 100, 200, and 400 Hz. This signal
is applied to an SSB modulator together with a carrier frequency at 100 kHz, with only the upper
sideband retained. In the coherent detector used to recover m(t), the local oscillator supplies a sine
wave of frequency 100.02 kHz. Determine the frequency components of the detector output
6. How can a frequency mixer be used to change the carrier frequency of a modulated signal m(t) cos ωc t
form ωc t to another frequency ω I t
Practice Problems
7. Repeat your analysis for question no. 5, assuming that only the lower sideband is transmitted.
8. Find s LSB (t) and sUSB (t) for the modulating signal
9. Find sSSB (t) for a simple case of tone modulation, that is, when the modulating signal is the sinusoid
m(t) = cos 2π f m t. Also demonstrate the coherent demodulation of this SSB signal.
10. Is the signal obtained in question 3, still an SSB signal with a bandwidth equal to that of m(t)? Can this
signal be demodulated [to get back m(t)]? If so, how?
11. Fig.1 shows the block diagram of frequency synthesizer, which enables the generation of many fre-
quencies, each with the same high accuracy as the master oscillator. The master oscillator of frequency
1MHz feeds two spectrum generators, one directly and the other through a frequency divider. Spec-
trum generator 1 produces a signal rich in the following harmonics: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 MHz. The
frequency divider provides a 100 kHz output, in response to which spectrum generator 2 produces a
second signal rich in the following harmonics: 100, 200, 300,400, 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 kHz. The
harmonics selectors are designed to feed two signals into the mixer one from spectrum generator 1 and
the other from spectrum generator 2. Find the range of possible frequency outputs of this synthesizer
and its resolution.
