Amplitude Modulation

Modulation
It is the process of varying the characteristics of
high frequency carrier in accordance with
instantaneous values of modulating or message
or baseband signal.
(Or)
It is a frequency translation technique which
converts baseband or low frequency signal to
bandpass or high frequency signal.

Modulation is used in the transmitter.


Types of Modulation
Types of Modulation
• Amplitude Modulation: Amplitude of the carrier
is varied in accordance with the instantaneous
values of modulating signal.

• Frequency Modulation: Frequency of the carrier


is varied in accordance with the instantaneous
values of modulating signal.

• Phase Modulation: Phase of the carrier is varied


in accordance with the instantaneous values of
modulating signal.
Benefits or Need of Modulation
• To reduce the length or height of antenna

• For multiplexing

• For narrow banding or to use antenna with single


or same length

• To reduce noise effect

• To avoid equipment limitation or to reduce the


size of the equipment.

1. An audio frequency signal 10 sin(2π x 500t) is used to
amplitude modulate a carrier of 50 sin(2π x 105t). Calculate,
•Modulation Index
•Sideband frequencies
•Amplitude of each sideband frequencies
•Bandwidth required
•Total power delivered to the load of 600Ω
Solution: Am=10, Ac=50:
• μ=Am/Ac = 10/50 = 0.2 or 20%.
• fm=500Hz, fc=100 kHz
fUSB = fc+fm=100 kHz + 500 Hz = 100.5 kHz
fLSB = fc – fm = 100 kHz - 500 Hz = 99.5 kHz

3. Carrier wave of frequency f = 1mHz with pack


voltage of 20V used to modulated a signal of
frequency 1kHz with pack voltage of 10v. Find out
the following
(i) μ?
(ii) Frequencies of modulated wave?
(iii) Bandwidth
(ii) frequencies of modulated wave
f → fc, fc + fm and fc – fm
fc = 1mHz, fm = 1kHz
fc + fm = 1×106 + 1×103 = 1001 ×103 = 1001 kHz
fc – fm = 1×106 – 1×103 = 999 × 103 = 999 kHz
(iii) Band width: (W)
(W) = upper side band frequency – lower side
band frequency
= fc + fm – (fc – fm)
= 2fm = 1001 kHz – 999 kHz = 2 kHz
