Telecommunications

Instructor: Dr. Soleimani


Teaching Assistant: Amirmohammad Ahmadizad
Semester: Spring 2025
Assignment #1
Deadline: 1403/01/20

Hilbert Transform
The Hilbert Transform is a linear transform that, given a signal x(t), produces a new signal 𝑥̂(t). This transform
creates a new signal that provides additional information about the original signal, often used for extracting phase
and amplitude information.
1 1 +∞ 𝑥(𝜏)
𝑥̂(𝑡) = ∗ 𝑥(𝑡) = ∫ 𝑑𝜏
𝜋𝑡 𝜋 −∞ 𝑡 − 𝜏

Question 1) Assume you have a signal x(t) = cos(2πft) with frequency f and duration T. in this problem, you will
use the Hilbert Transform to analyze the signal.
Part A) Simulate the signal x(t) with a sampling frequency fs.
Part B) Compute the analytic signal xa(t) using the Hilbert Transform.
Part C) Calculate the power of the analytic signal xa(t) over the time interval [t1, t2].
Part D) Perform a comparison of the energy of the original signal x(t) and the energy of the analytic signal xa(t).

Modulation
Modulation is the process in which the characteristics of a carrier signal (usually a sine wave) are altered
according to the message signal. This is done to transmit information from one point to another in communication
systems. In modulation, properties like amplitude, frequency, or phase of the carrier signal are modified to
appropriately carry the message signal.
Types of Modulation:
1. Amplitude Modulation (AM): In this type, the amplitude of the carrier signal is varied
according to the message signal.
2. Frequency Modulation (FM): In FM, the frequency of the carrier signal is directly affected by
the message signal.
3. Phase Modulation (PM): In this type, the phase of the carrier signal is modified to transmit the
message signal.
Modulation allows low-frequency signals (such as audio or data) to be transmitted over high-frequency
communication channels (such as radio or television). This process also helps in minimizing signal interference
and optimizing bandwidth usage.
Question 2) Consider a carrier signal c(t) = Accos(2πfct) and a message signal m(t) = Amcos(2πfmt), where Ac and
Am are the amplitudes of the carrier and message signals, and fc and fm are the carrier signal and message signal
frequencies. You need to simulate the AM-modulation signal and analyze it.
Part A) Generate the AM-modulated signal using the formula for amplitude modulation:
𝑥(𝑡) = 𝐴𝑐 [1 + 𝐴𝑚 cos(2𝜋𝑓𝑚 𝑡)]cos⁡(2𝜋𝑓𝑐 𝑡)
Part B) Plot the modulated signal in both time domain and frequency domain (using the Fourier transform).
Part C) Calculate the average power of the modulated signal.

Description
• Each question carries a 50% score.
• In addition to having code, your exercise should also have a work report. The work report includes an
explanation and logic for each part of your code.
• The file sent to the LMS environment must be in zip format, which contains MATLAB codes and work
reports. The file name must also be in Form HW#_last name_student number.
• In case of cheating, a score of zero will be given for the exercise or question.
• After the exercise deadline, the exercise answer along with the explanation file will be posted for you in
the LMS environment.
• If you encounter any problems or have any questions about the exercise, you can send a message to the
Telegram ID @aahmadizad14.

Good luck
