  1. TEL312 Electronic Communications Fundamentals Modulation Modulation is the process by which information (message) is transformed Into waveforms that are compatible with the characteristics of the channel. Baseband Modulation (for digital modulation) is to use certain pulse waveforms to Carry information. Bandpass Modulation: the desired Information signal modulates a sine wave (or Carrier).

  2. TEL312 Electronic Communications Fundamentals Why Modulate? • Improve transmission efficiency. • e.g. – 3kHz voice, wavelength is c/f which is about 60 miles. Using • a 60 mile antenna is impractical. • Allows efficient usage of bandwidth • e.g. Allows multiple signals to use one channel (FDMA) • Help minimize interference effects • e.g. Spread Spectrum Techniques • Simplify design to meet circuit design requirements • e.g. Intermediate Frequency (IF) can help simplify filter and amplifier • design at different frequencies.

  3. TEL312 Electronic Communications Fundamentals Analog Modulation TWO MAIN TYPES OF MODULATION SCHEMES ( BOTH BANDPASS): AM – Amplitude Modulation If m(t) is sinusoidal, we have tone-modulated AM: FM – Frequency Modulation:

  4. TEL312 Electronic Communications Fundamentals AM – Amplitude Modulation (Ref. Tomasi, Chapter 4 – 6) • THREE MAJOR TYPES OF Amplitude MODULATION • Conventional Amplitude Modulation • Full AM, also known as Double Sideband Transmitted Carrier AM (DSB-TC) • Double Sideband Suppressed carrier (DSB-SC) modulation • Single Sideband (SSB) modulation

  8. TEL312 Electronic Communications Fundamentals Modulating Index (m) a measurement for the degree of modulation and bears the relationship of the ratio of . what is the degree of modulation required to establish a desirable AM communication link? to maintain , envelope distortion will occur and the waveform is said to be over-modulated. Under this circumstances, IF is large enough, resulting the non-proportionality of ----hence distortion of the desire message signal!!

  9. TEL312 Electronic Communications Fundamentals In practice, the modulation index of an AM signal can be computed from Amax and Amin. Amin Amax Amax : is half the peak-to-peak value of the AM signal Amax(pk-pk) /2 Amin : is half the peak-to-peak value of the AM signal Amin(pk-pk) /2 Am : is half the difference of Amax and Amin . Ac : is half the sum of Amax and Amin. The values for Amax and Amin can be obtained directly from the oscilloscope. The evaluation of the modulation index m can be achieved by invoking the following expression:

  10. TEL312 Electronic Communications Fundamentals Power distribution in full AM The power in a sinusoidal signal is proportional to the square of its amplitude. Transmitted power = the carrier power + the power in the sidebands • Carrier power : • Sideband power: • Total transmitted power: where is the proportionality constant

  11. TEL312 Electronic Communications Fundamentals • The power in the sidebands depends upon the value of the modulation index. • The greater the percentage of modulation, the higher the sideband power. • Maximum power appears in the sidebands when the carrier is 100% (m=1) modulated. • The power in each respective sideband , is given by Each sideband is one-fourth, or 25 percent, of the carrier power. Since there are two sidebands, their power put together to give 50 percent of the carrier power.
