• For reliable communications, i.e., , all frequency components of the transmitted signal should pass through the channel, which requires: – Frequency components of transmitted signal should be centered at f c; – The channel bandwidth B h should be no smaller than the bandwidth of transmitted signal B m.

AM is defined as a process in which the amplitude of the carrier wave c(t) is varied about a mean value, linearly with baseband signal m(t). AM wave, in its most general form. t = A. 1 + k m t. cos 2π. c. ( )
frequencies. Compare time-domain, frequency-domain, and phasor representations of an AM signal. Explain what is meant by the terms DSB and SSB and state the main advantages of an SSB signal over a conventional AM signal. Calculate peak envelope power (PEP), given signal voltages and load impedances. chapter 3 Carrier Amplitude modulation (AM)
There are various carrier modulation techniques. Among them, amplitude modulation (AM) is considered the oldest. This handout considers AM. 1 Amplitude Modulation Principle. The amplitude-modulated wave may be described by the following formula. s(t) = [1 + kam(t)] c(t) = Ac [1 + kam(t)] cos(2 fct);
Power of AM Signals. The power of an AM signal is the sum of the power of two components. 'AM(t) = (A + m(t)) cos(2 fct) = A cos(2 fct) + m(t) cos(2 fct) | {z } |. carrier. {z } sidebands. The carrier and sideband signals are orthogonal, so powers add. Carrier power is.
