Modulation
It is the process of placing the message signal over some carrier signal to make it suitable for transmission.
Amplitude Modulation
Amplitude Modulated Signal:
AM may be defined as a system in which the maximum amplitude of the carrier wave is made proportional to
the instantaneous value (amplitude) of the modulating or base band signal
Maximum power dissipated in AM wave is PAM= 1.5 Pc for (not=) 1 and this is maximum power that amplifier
can handle without distortion
Multi-tone Modulation:
In DSB-SC the carrier signal is suppressed at the time of modulation. Only side- bands are transmitted in
modulated wave.
In this technique, along with modulation carrier one side band gets suppressed from AM modulated wave.
Vestigial Sideband (VSB) modulation:
In this modulation one side band and vestige of another sideband is transmitted.
AM Modulators:
r(t) is received signal and m(t) is message signal and for better reception RC must be selected such as
Key points:
Demodulation of AM signal is simpler than DSB-SC and SSB systems, Demodulation of DSB-SC and SSB is
rather difficult and expensive.
It is quite easier to generate conventional AM signals at high power level as compared to DSB-SC and SSB
signals. For this reason, conventional AM systems are used for broad casting purpose.
The advantage of DSB-SC and SSB systems over conventional AM system is that the former requires lesser
power to transmit the same information.
SSB scheme needs only one half of the bandwidth required in DSB-SC system and less than that required in
VSB also.
SSB modulation scheme is used for long distance transmission of voice signals because it allows longer spacing
between repeaters
