EE104: Lecture 20 Outline • Review of Last Lecture • Noise in AM Receivers • Single Sideband Modulation • Vestigial Sideband Modulation • AM Radio and Superheterodyne Receivers
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: Costas Loop
Noise in AM Receivers • Power in s(t) is .5Ac2Pm • Power in m(t) is .25Ac2Pm • Power in n(t) is .5N0B • SNR=.5Ac2Pm/(N0B) • Power of s(t) over power of n(t) in BW of interest n(t): white LPF s(t)=Accos(2pfct+f)m(t) m´(t)+ n´(t) Product Modulator 1 + Accos(2pfct+f)
Single Sideband • Only transmits upper or lower sideband of AM • Reduces bandwidth by factor of 2 • Transmitted signal can be written in terms of Hilbert transform of m(t) • SSB can introduce distortion at DC LSB USB
Vestigial Sideband • Transmits USB or LSB and vestige of other sideband • Reduces bandwidth by roughly a factor of 2 • Generated using standard AM or DSBSC modulation, then filtering • Standard AM or DSBSC demodulation • VSB used for image transmission in TV signals USB
AM Radio and Superheterodyne Receivers • Multiplexes AM radio signals in frequency • 10 KHz bandwidth, carrier in 530-1610 Khz • Receiver needs tight filtering to remove adjacent signals • LO can radiate out receiver front end • Fix problems by IF processing (Superheterodyne) f1 f2 f3
Main Points • SNR in DSBSC is power of transmit signal over power of noise in the bandwidth of interest. • SSB is a spectrally efficient AM technique with half the BW requirements of standard AM and DSBSC. • VSB similar to SSB, uses slightly more BW for a lower DC distortion. • AM receivers (and others) downconvert to IF for demodulation to avoid filtering/reradiation problems.
