AM Modulators, SSB Analog and Digital Communications Autumn 2005-2006 CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
AM – Power Calculations Lets calculate power in carrier and sidebands: (in one sideband) CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
AM – Power Calculations At least 50% power is wasted in carrier CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
USB LSB LSB USB DSB-SC or Simple DSB CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
( is power in one sideband) DSB – Power Calculations How does AM compare with DSB? (Criteria for good modulation!) CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
Power Calculations For DSB-SC or DSB: For DSB+C or AM: (100% modulation) CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
Information signal is Tone Modulation For DSB-SC or DSB: For DSB+C or AM: CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
Tone Modulation For DSB-SC or DSB: For DSB+C or AM: CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
Modulators • Product modulators • Require analog multipliers • Variable trans-conductance multipliers • Hall effect devices • Hard to build • Generally limited by low power and low frequencies • Modulators based on filtering undesired frequencies • Square-law and balanced modulators • Ring modulator • Switching modulator • Avoid heavy filtering by not generating higher frequencies CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
USB LSB LSB USB Islands are not symmetric around SSB-AM First consider DSB-SC Pass it through an “SSB filter” CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
(Transmission BW is twice the signal BW) SSB and DSB Comparison For DSB: For SSB: CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
Information signal is Tone Modulation: SSB & DSB For DSB-SC or DSB: For USSB: For LSSB: CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
