EE104: Lecture 19 Outline • Announcements: • HW due today, new HW posted • Review of Last Lecture • Generation of AM Waves • Square Law and Envelope Detection of AM • Double Side Band Suppressed Carrier • Product Modulators for DSBSC • Coherent Detection for DSBSC: The Costas Loop
Review of Last Lecture • White Noise • Introduction to Modulation • AM Modulation • When |kam(t)|<1, can recover m(t) from s(t) envelope a(t)=Ac|1+kam(t)|=Ac[1+kam(t)] cos(2pfct) ka s(t)=Ac[1+kam(t)]cos2pfct 1 m(t) + X X
Generation of AM Waves • Multipliers difficult to build in HW • AM waves generated using nonlinear device Accos(2pfct+f) m(t) s(t) Squarer or Switch + BPF
Detection of AM Waves • Entails tradeoff between performance and complexity (cost) • Square law detector squares signal and then passes it through a LPF • Residual distortion proportional to m2(t) • Noncoherent (carrier phase not needed in receiver) • Envelope detector detects envelope of s(t) • Simple circuit (resistors, capacitor, diode) • Only works when |kam(t)|<1 (poor SNR), no distortion. • Noncoherent
Envelope Detector Only works when |kam(t)|<1
Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSBSC) • Remove inefficient constant term • Modulated signal is s(t)=Accos(2pfct)m(t) • Generated by a product modulator • Can also use ring modulator: diodes and inductors m(t) AM Modulator + Accos(2pfct) + s(t) - AM Modulator -m(t)
Coherent Detection of DSBSC • Detector uses another product modulator • Demodulated signal: m´(t)=.5Accos(f2-f1)m(t) • Phase offset: if f2-f1=p/2, m´(t)=0 • Coherent detection (f2f1) required m(t) s(t) m´(t) Product Modulator Product Modulator Channel LPF Accos(2pfct+f1) Accos(2pfct+f2)
Costas Loop Goal: Maintain Df0 DSBSC Demodulator .5Accos(f- f´)m(t) Product Modulator LPF V=sin2(f- f´)/8 Accos(2pfct+f)m(t) Phase Discriminator Accos(2pfct+f´(V)) VCO Df´(V) -90o VDf 0 Acsin(2pfct+f´(V)) Product Modulator LPF .5Acsin(f- f´)m(t)
Main Points • AM demodulated with nonlinear devices (some distortion) or envelope detectors (simple, no distortion, low SNR). • DSBSC eliminates the power inefficiency of standard AM at the expense of significantly higher receiver complexity • Coherent detection is needed for DSBSC: obtaining the carrier phase is one of biggest challenges in all demodulators. • A Costas loop provides phase synchronization using a VCO and feedback control. • SNR ratio in AM increases with signal power and decreases with noise spectral density and signal bandwidth
