Objectives
• Understand the need of modulation .
• Classify Modulation
• Define baseband signal and different types of modulations.
• Draw Waveforms of different types of modulation
• Compare A.M & F.M
• Enlist the Applications
Communication System
•Communication System is the means of conveying information from one
place to another.

• Information signals used in Communication Systems can be either


Analog
Digital

• Analog signals are the signals which vary continuously with time.
Eg. Voice signals, picture, music signals etc.

• Digital Signals have only two distinct levels High (1) or Low (0)
Eg. Signals obtained from a Computer.
Classification
Based on the technique used for signal transmission
• Baseband Transmission System
• Communication System using Modulation

. Baseband Signal: The electrical equivalent of the original information


signal is known as the baseband signal.
Baseband Transmission System :The baseband signals are directly
transmitted. Eg. Telephone Networks.
Limitations of Baseband Transmission :
They cannot be used for radio transmission in free space. They get suppressed after
a short distance.
Communication System using Modulation:
For Radio Communication of baseband signals a technique called Modulation
is used
Modulation

• In Modulation ,There are two signals . One is the Baseband signal


also called “Modulating Signal” and another high frequency signal
• called the “Carrier”
• Process of varying some characteristic (amplitude, frequency or
phase) of carrier signal in accordance with the instantaneous
amplitude (value)of the message (modulating )signal is called
modulation
• Modulation = Adding information to a carrier signal
Need for Modulation
• To transmit voice signal a large size antenna is required as antenna length
is proportional to one fourth of wavelength.
• The size of the antenna will be more than the distance between
transmitter and receiver.
• Reduction in Antenna height.
• Avoids mixing of signals.
• Increases the range of Communication.
• Multiplexing of signals is possible .
• Improves quality of reception.
Classification
Amplitude Modulation

• In Amplitude Modulation the amplitude of the carrier signal is varied


according to the instantaneous value of the modulating (message/information)
signal.
• If m(t) is the message signal and c(t)= A cos wct then AM signal F(t) is
written as
F(t)= A cos wct+m(t) cos wct or F(t)=[A+m(t)] cos wct]
Frequency Spectrum of A.M

• Frequency spectrum of AM comprises of:


• A lower side band whose highest frequency component is present at fc-fm
• An upper side band whose highest frequency component is present at fc+fm
• Carrier frequency fc
This type of amplitude modulation is known as double side band-full
carrier(DSB-FC)
Bandwidth of A.M is 2fm
