3 2-1: AM Concepts In the modulation process, the voice, video, or digital signal modifies another, higherfrequency signal called the carrier. In amplitude modulation (AM) the information signal varies the amplitude of the carrier sine wave. The instantaneous value of the carrier amplitude changes in accordance with the amplitude and frequency variations of the modulating signal. An imaginary line called the envelope connects the positive and negative peaks of the carrier waveform.

4 2-1: AM Concepts Peak amplitude of information signal Figure 1-1: Amplitude modulation. (a) The modulating or information signal.

5 2-1: AM Concepts Figure 1-2: Amplitude modulation. (b) The modulated carrier.

6 2-1: AM Concepts

7 2-1: AM Concepts In AM, it is particularly important that the peak value of the modulating signal be less than the peak value of the carrier. V m < V c Distortion occurs when the amplitude of the modulating signal is greater than the amplitude of the carrier. A modulator is a circuit used to produce AM. Amplitude modulators compute the product of the carrier and modulating signals.

8 2-1: AM Concepts Figure 1-3: Amplitude modulator showing input and output signals.

9 The Mathematical Representation and Analysis of AM Representing both the modulating signal V m (t) and the carrier signal V c (t) in trigonometric functions. Modulator must be able to produce mathematical multiplication of these two analog signals v m ( t) = V sin (2πf t) m m v am ( t) = [ V + V sin (2πf t)] sin (2πf t) c m m c v c ( t) = V sin (2πf t) c c 9

10 2-2: Modulation Index and Percentage of Modulation The modulation index (m) is a value that describes the relationship between the amplitude of the modulating signal and the amplitude of the carrier signal. m = V m / V c ***V m < V c for undistorted AM index is also known as the modulating factor or coefficient, or the degree of modulation. Multiplying the modulation index by 100 gives the percentage of modulation.

11 2-2: Modulation Index and Percentage of Modulation Percentage of Modulation The modulation index is commonly computed from measurements taken on the composite modulated waveform. Using oscilloscope voltage values: Vm = V max V min 2 The amount, or depth, of AM is then expressed as the percentage of modulation (100 m) rather than as a fraction.

12 2-2: Modulation Index and Percentage of Modulation Figure 1-5: AM wave showing peaks (V max ) and troughs (V min ).

13 Mathematically, the modulation index is 2-2: Modulation Cont d Index and Percentage of Modulation m = modulation index V m = peak change in the amplitude output waveform (sum of voltages from upper and lower side frequencies) V c = peak amplitude of the unmodulated carrier m = And the percentage of modulation index is Vm % m = x 100% V c V V m c 13

14 If the modulating signal is a pure, single-freq sine wave and the process is symmetrical then the modulation index can be derived as follows: 1 Vm = ( Vmax Vmin ) 2 1 Therefore, V = ( V + V ) c 2 max min m = ( V ( V max max V + V min min ) ) = ( V ( V max max V + V min min ) ) 14

15 Cont d Since the peak change of modulated output wave V m is the sum of the u sf and l sf voltages hence, Then V usf V = V + V where V = V m = V lsf usf Vm = = 2 1 = ( V 4 lsf 1 2 max ( V V max 2 min V ) min ) usf lsf V usf = peak amplitude of the upper side frequency (volts) V lsf = peak amplitude of the lower side frequency (volts) 15

16 2-2: Modulation Index and Percentage of Modulation Overmodulation and Distortion The modulation index should be a number between 0 and 1. If the amplitude of the modulating voltage is higher than the carrier voltage, m will be greater than 1, causing distortion. If the distortion is great enough, the intelligence signal becomes unintelligible.

17 2-2: Modulation Index and Percentage of Modulation Overmodulation and Distortion Distortion of voice transmissions produces garbled, harsh, or unnatural sounds in the speaker. Distortion of video signals produces a scrambled and inaccurate picture on a TV screen.

18 2-2: Modulation Index and Percentage of Modulation Figure 1-4: Distortion of the envelope caused by overmodulation where the modulating signal amplitude V m is greater than the carrier signal V c.

19 2-3: Sidebands and the Frequency Domain Side frequencies, or sidebands are generated as part of the modulation process and occur in the frequency spectrum directly above and below the carrier frequency.

20 2-3: Sidebands and the Frequency Domain Sideband Calculations Single-frequency sine-wave modulation generates two sidebands. Complex wave (e.g. voice or video) modulation generates a range of sidebands. The upper sideband (f USB ) and the lower sideband (f LSB ) are calculated: f USB = f c + f m and f LSB = f c f m

22 2-3: Sidebands and the Frequency Domain Frequency-Domain Representation of AM Observing an AM signal on an oscilloscope, you see only amplitude variations of the carrier with respect to time. A plot of signal amplitude versus frequency is referred to as frequency-domain display. A spectrum analyzer is used to display the frequency domain as a signal. Bandwidth is the difference between the upper and lower sideband frequencies. BW = f USB f LSB = [f c + f m(max) ] [f c f m(max) ] = 2f m(max)

23 2-3: Sidebands and the Frequency Domain Figure 1-8: The relationship between the time and frequency domains.

24 2-3: Sidebands and the Frequency Domain Frequency-Domain Representation of AM Example 1: For a conventional AM modulator with a carrier freq of f c = 100 khz and the maximum modulating signal frequency of f m(max) = 5 khz, determine: a) Freq limits for the upper and lower sidebands. b) Bandwidth. c) Upper and lower side frequencies produced when the modulating signal is a single-freq 3-kHz tone. d) Draw the output freq spectrum.

37 2-3: Sidebands and the Frequency Domain Pulse Modulation When complex signals such as pulses or rectangular waves modulate a carrier, a broad spectrum of sidebands is produced. A modulating square wave will produce sidebands based on the fundamental sine wave as well as the third, fifth, seventh, etc. harmonics. Amplitude modulation by square waves or rectangular pulses is referred to as amplitude shift keying (ASK). ASK is used in some types of data communications.

39 2-3: Sidebands and the Frequency Domain Figure 1-12: Amplitude modulation of a sine wave carrier by a pulse or rectangular wave is called amplitude-shift keying. (a) Fifty percent modulation. (b) One hundred percent modulation.

40 2-3: Sidebands and the Frequency Domain Pulse Modulation Continuous-wave (CW) transmission can be achieved by turning the carrier off and on - transmitting of Morse code by using dots and dashes. CW transmission is also referred to as On-Off keying (OOK). Splatter is a term used to describe harmonic sideband interference.

41 2-4: Single-Sideband Modulation In amplitude modulation, two-thirds of the transmitted power is in the carrier, which conveys no information. How to improve efficiency of AM? Signal information is contained within the sidebands. Single-sideband (SSB) is a form of AM where the carrier is suppressed and one sideband is eliminated.

42 DSB Signals The first step in generating an SSB signal is to suppress the carrier, leaving the upper and lower sidebands. This type of signal is called a doublesideband suppressed carrier (DSSC) signal. No power is wasted on the carrier. DSSC signals are generated by a circuit called balanced modulator.

43 DSB Signals A balanced modulator is a circuit used to produce the sum and difference frequencies of a DSSC signal but to cancel or balance out the carrier. DSB (or DSBSC) is not widely used because the signal is difficult to demodulate (recover) at the receiver. One important application for DSBtransmission of the color information in a TV signal. 43

44 2-4: Single-Sideband Modulation Figure 1-16: A frequency-domain display of DSB signal.

45 2-4: Single-Sideband Modulation SSB Signals (WHY SSB?) In DSB transmission, since the sidebands are the sum and difference of the carrier and modulating signals, the information is contained in both sidebands. One sideband is all that is necessary to convey information in a signal. A single-sideband suppressed carrier (SSBSC) signal is generated by suppressing the carrier and one sideband.

46 2-4: Single-Sideband Modulation SSB Signals SSB signals offer four major benefits: 1. Spectrum space is conserved and allows more signals to be transmitted in the same frequency range. 2. All power is channeled into a single sideband. This produces a stronger signal that will carry further and will be more reliably received at greater distances. 3. Occupied bandwidth space is narrower and noise in the signal is reduced. 4. There is less selective fading (cancellation) over long distances.

47 2-4: Single-Sideband Modulation Disadvantages of DSSC and SSBSC Single and double-sideband SC s are not widely used because the signals are difficult to recover (i.e. demodulate) at the receiver. A low power, pilot carrier is sometimes transmitted along with sidebands in order to more easily recover the signal at the receiver. This technique is used in FM stereo transmission and the transmission of the color information in a TV signal.

48 Signal Power Considerations In SSB, the transmitter output is expressed in terms of peak envelope power (PEP), the maximum power produced on voice amplitude peaks. PEP = V 2 / R PEP = V S I max amplifier supply voltage current peak During normal speech levels, the input and output power levels are much less than the PEP level. The average power = 1/4 to 1/3 of the PEP value.

49 2-5: AM Power In radio transmission, the AM signal is amplified by a power amplifier. A radio antenna has a characteristic impedance that is ideally almost pure resistance. The AM signal is a composite of the carrier and the two sidebands signal voltages. Each signal produces power in the antenna. Total transmitted power (P T ) is the sum of carrier power (P c ) and power of the two sidebands (P USB and P LSB ).

50 P T = P C + P LSB + P USB From the original AM equation, we get a handy formula for computing the total power in an AM signal : P T = P C + m2 4 P C + m2 4 P C For 100% modulated AM transmitter,the total sideband power is always one-half of the carrier power. What if the percentage of modulation is less than 100%? 50

51 2-5: AM Power When the percentage of modulation is less than the optimum 100, there is much less power in the sidebands. Output power can be calculated by using the formula P T = (I T ) 2 R, I T = I C (1+ m 2 / 2) where I T is the current in the load, R is antenna impedance and I c is the unmodulated carrier current in the load

52 2-5: AM Power The greater the percentage of modulation, the higher the sideband power and the higher the total power transmitted. Power in each sideband is calculated P SB = P LSB = P USB = P c m 2 / 4 Maximum power appears in the sidebands when the carrier is 100 percent modulated.

53 2-5: AM Power AM Power Review: conventional AM(DSB-FC) Frequency spectrum: f c -f m f c Bandwidth=2 x f mmax Total Power=P carrier +P usb +P lsb f c +f m 53

54 DSB FULL CARRIER

55 Two major Drawbacks of DSBFC Large power consumption, where carrier power constitutes >2/3 transmitted power. {remember : carrier does not contain any information} Both the upper and lower sideband actually contains same information (redundant). Thus, DSBFC is both power and bandwidth inefficient 55

56 Double side band suppressed carrier(dsb-sc) Frequency spectrum: f c -f m f c f c +f m Bandwidth:2 x f mmax Total Power= P usb + P lsb 56

57 Single Side Band Full Carrier (SSB-FC) Frequency spectrum: f c -f m f c f c +f m Bandwidth=f mmax Total Power=P carrier +P usb 57

58 AM Single-Sideband Suppressed Carrier (SSBSC) The carrier is totally suppressed and one sideband is removed requires half the bandwidth of DSBFC AM Considerably less power than DSBFC and SSBFC schemes Sideband power makes up 100% of the total transmitted power The wave is not an envelope but a sine wave at frequency equal to the carrier frequency ±modulating frequency (depending on which sideband is transmitted) 58

59 Single Side band Suppress Carrier (SSB-SC) Frequency spectrum: f c -f m f c f c +f m Bandwidth=f m Total Power=+P usb 59

60 AM Single-Sideband Reduced Carrier (SSBRC) One sideband is totally removed and the carrier voltage is reduced to approximately 10% of its unmodulated amplitude requires half the bandwidth of DSBFC AM Less transmitted power than DSBFC and SSBFC but more power than SSBSC As much as 96% of the total transmitted power is in the sideband The output modulated signal is similar to SSBFC but with reduced maximum and minimum envelope amplitudes 60

70 Methods of Generating SSB i) Filtering method A filter removes the undesired sideband producing SSB. Quartz crystal filters are the most widely used sideband filters since they are very selective and inexpensive. ii) Phasing method A balanced modulator eliminates the carrier and provides DSB. 70

71 Filtering method Antenna Carrier oscillator Balanced modulator DSB signal Sideband filter SSB signal Linear amplifier Microphone Audio amplifier Filter response curve Lower sidebands Upper sidebands 71

72 Phasing methods-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. 72

74 An SSB generator using the phasing method. The carrier signal = V c sin2π f c t The modulating signal = V m sin2π f m t Balanced modulator 1 produces the product of these two signals. Applying a common trigonometric identity we have = sin Asin B = 0.5[cos(A B) cos(a + B)] (V c sin2π f c t) (V m sin2π f m t) 0.5V c V m [cos(2π f c 2π f m )t cos(2π f c + 2π f m )t] Noted that these are the sum and difference frequencies / 74 upper and lower sidebands

75 The carrier signal shifted by phase shifter = The modulating signal shifted by phase shifter = Balanced modulator 2 produces the product of these two signals. Applying a common trigonometric identity we have An SSB generator using the phasing method. cos Acos B = 0.5[cos(A B) + cos(a + B)] (V c cos2π f c t) (V m cos2π f m t) 0.5V c V m [cos(2π f c 2π f m )t + cos(2π f c + 2π f m )t] V c cos2π f c t V m cos2π f m t WHEN THE OUTPUT FROM BALANCED MODULATOR 1 + BALANCED MODULATOR2 PRODUCING ONLY THE LOWER SIDEBAND cos(2π f c 2π f m )t 75

76 Advantages/Disadvantages of SSB Advantages Power consumption - Much less total transmitted power is necessary to produce the same quality signal as achieved with DSBFC AM Bandwidth conservation Selective fading - carrier phase shift and carrier fading can not occur, thus smaller distortion is expected. Noise reduction - thermal noise power is reduced Disadvantages Complex receivers Tuning difficulties requires more complex and precise than DSB 76

77 VESTIGIAL SIDEBAND (VSB) VSB is similar to SSB but it retains a small portion (a vestige) of the undesired sideband to reduce DC distortion. VSB signals are generated using standard AM or DSBSC modulation, then passing modulated signal through a sideband shaping filter. Demodulation uses either standard AM or DSBSC demodulation. 77

78 Cont d 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. 78
