13  Analog Modulation The purpose of a communication system is to transmit information signals (baseband signals) through a communication channel The term baseband is used to designate the band of frequencies representing the original signal as delivered by the input transducer For example, the voice signal from a microphone is a baseband signal, and contains frequencies in the range of 0-3000 Hz The “hello” wave is a baseband signal:

14 AM radio FM radio/TV Since this baseband signal must be transmitted through a communication channel such as air using electromagnetic waves, an appropriate procedure is needed to shift the range of baseband frequencies to other frequency ranges suitable for transmission, and a corresponding shift back to the original frequency range after reception. This is called the process of modulation and demodulation Remember the radio spectrum: For example, an AM radio system transmits electromagnetic waves with frequencies of around a few hundred kHz (MF band) The FM radio system must operate with frequencies in the range of 88- 108 MHz (VHF band)  Analog Modulation

15 Since the baseband signal contains frequencies in the audio frequency range (3 kHz), some form of frequency-band shifting must be employed for the radio system to operate satisfactorily This process is accomplished by a device called a modulator The transmitter block in any communications system contains the modulator device The receiver block in any communications system contains the demodulator device The modulator modulates a carrier wave (the electromagnetic wave) which has a frequency that is selected from an appropriate band in the radio spectrum For example, the frequency of a carrier wave for FM can be chosen from the VHF band of the radio spectrum For AM, the frequency of the carrier wave may be chosen to be around a few hundred kHz (from the MF band of the radio spectrum) The demodulator extracts the original baseband signal from the received modulated signal To Summarize: Modulation is the process of impressing a low-frequency information signal (baseband signal )onto a higher frequency carrier signal Modulation is done to bring information signals up to the Radio Frequency (or higher) signal  Analog Modulation

16 Types of Analog Modulation Amplitude Modulation (AM) Amplitude Modulation (AM) Amplitude modulation is the process of varying the amplitude of a carrier wave in proportion to the amplitude of a baseband signal. The frequency of the carrier remains constant Amplitude modulation is the process of varying the amplitude of a carrier wave in proportion to the amplitude of a baseband signal. The frequency of the carrier remains constant Frequency Modulation (FM) Frequency Modulation (FM) Frequency modulation is the process of varying the frequency of a carrier wave in proportion to the amplitude of a baseband signal. The amplitude of the carrier remains constant Frequency modulation is the process of varying the frequency of a carrier wave in proportion to the amplitude of a baseband signal. The amplitude of the carrier remains constant Phase Modulation (PM) Phase Modulation (PM) Another form of analog modulation technique which we will not discuss Another form of analog modulation technique which we will not discuss

17 Amplitude Modulation Carrier wave Baseband signal Modulated wave Amplitude varying- frequency constant

18 Frequency Modulation Carrier wave Baseband signal Modulated wave Frequency varying- amplitude constant Large amplitude: high frequency Small amplitude: low frequency

19 AM vs. FM AM requires a simple circuit, and is very easy to generate. It is simple to tune, and is used in almost all short wave broadcasting. The area of coverage of AM is greater than FM (longer wavelengths (lower frequencies) are utilized-remember property of HF waves?) However, it is quite inefficient, and is susceptible to static and other forms of electrical noise. The main advantage of FM is its audio quality and immunity to noise. Most forms of static and electrical noise are naturally AM, and an FM receiver will not respond to AM signals. The audio quality of a FM signal increases as the frequency deviation increases (deviation from the center frequency), which is why FM broadcast stations use such large deviation. The main disadvantage of FM is the larger bandwidth it requires

32 Single Sideband (SSB)  Variant of AM is single sideband (SSB)  Sends only one sideband  Eliminates other sideband and carrier  Advantages  Only half the bandwidth is required  Less power is required  Disadvantages  Suppressed carrier can’t be used for synchronization purposes
