Baseband communication • The baseband is the frequency band of the original signal – Audio: 0–20 KHz – Telephony: 300–3700 Hz – Television video: 0–4.3 MHz – Ethernet (10 Mbs): 0–20 MHz
• Baseband communication usually requires wire (single,
twisted pair, coaxial) • Does not involve modulation • Multiple baseband signals cannot share a channel without time division multiplexing (TDM) 5/27/2021 UET Narowal 2 Carrier Communication

Modulation • It is often impractical to transmit the message signal directly over the communication channel – Message signals called as baseband signals have generally low frequencies or higher wavelengths – For efficient radiation, size of antenna should be made proportional to the wavelength of baseband signal – Higher wavelength means larger size of antenna that is costly and often impractical – Therefore message signals are modulated by a high frequency carrier wave – Modulation reduces the wavelength of transmitting waveform that, in turn, reduces the size of antenna 5/27/2021 UET Narowal 4 Modulation (cont’d) • Modulation also allows simultaneous transmission of multiple signals over the same geographical area – This process is called as multiplexing – By modulation, simultaneous transmission of multiple signals do not interfere with each other – Actually each message signal is modulated by a carrier of different frequency – Thus we have multiple modulated carrier signals transmitted simultaneously – At the receiver, bandpass filter is tuned to desired carrier wave and the message signal is extracted – Example: TV transmission having various channels over the same cable 5/27/2021 UET Narowal 5 Modulation (cont’d) • Using different frequencies to separate different message signals for simultaneous transmission is called Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) • Using different time instants to separate different message signals for simultaneous transmission is called Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)

Modulation (cont’d) • Modulation is the process of altering the carrier in correspondence with the variations of message signal • Demodulation is the process of extracting the message signal from modulated carrier • Carrier is usually a high-frequency sinusoidal waveform • If the message signal alters the amplitude of carrier wave – This gives AMPLITUDE MODULATION (AM) (if message signal is analog) – This gives AMPLITUDE SHIFT KEYING (ASK) (if message signal is digital)

Modulation (cont’d) • If the message signal alters the frequency of carrier – This gives FREQUENCY MODULATION (FM) (if message signal is analog) – This gives FREQUENCY SHIFT KEYING (FSK) (if message signal is digital) • If the message signal alters the phase of carrier – This gives PHASE MODULATION (PM) (if message signal is analog) – This gives PHASE SHIFT KEYING (PSK) (if message signal is digital)

Choosing Carrier Frequency • Carrier frequency should be greater than the signal bandwidth otherwise two copies of frequency spectrum of modulated signal will overlap

Implementation of AM Demodulator • At the receiver, carrier used by the demodulator must be synchronized in frequency and phase with the transmitter carrier – Such a receiver is called synchronous or coherent detector • Imperfect electronics makes difficult to meet this objective e.g., drift in oscillator frequency • Also, the frequency and phase of carrier may get shifted due to channel • An alternative is to transmit the carrier also with the modulated signal – Such receiver is called non-coherent detector – E.g., Envelop detector & Rectifier detector 5/27/2021 UET Narowal 31 Full AM Signal
