Double Side Band - Suppressed Carrier (DSB-SC) Modulation Demodulation
Double Side Band - Suppressed Carrier (DSB-SC) Modulation Demodulation
The coherent DSB-SC requires a synchronized local oscillator and works on following principle. Please refer to eqn. (3.6).
A low pass filter filters out the message signal from above. The SIMULINK implementation is first shown for sinusoidal modulating signal and then for a composite signal made up of two sinusoids. Next it is shown how an AM signal (DSB-C) with modulation index 1.2 is recovered through coherent detection. Please refer to result of mini-project on Amplitude Modulation Demodulation using SIMULINK model for comparison. Finally, using spectrum scope frequency domain representation of modulated and demodulated signal is seen and compared. It is seen that for modulated signal information is available around carrier frequency while for demodulated signal in baseband only.
The following shows SIMULINK model preparation and parameterization of local oscillator.
The following shows time scope output for 10 second simulation, original and expanded time axis.
The following shows preparation of model for composite signal and its performance.
The following shows DSB-C coherent detection for modulation index 1.2. Please refer to mini-project on Amplitude Modulation Demodulation for comparison.
The following shows use of spectrum scope, its parameterization and display. The input of bottom scope is output port of filter block which is renamed. Else this by default shows Ch1 as legend. The modulating signal frequency is made 3000Hz for better visualization.
Note that the range 0.5 MHz in frequency axis refers to Fs/2 = 100000/2 = 50000 Hz.
