A signal of low frequency f m is to be transmitted using a carrier wave of frequency f c . Derive the expression for the amplitude modulated wave and deduce expressions for the lower and upper sidebands produced. Hence, obtain the expression for modulation index.
Solution:
Derive expression for amplitude modulated wave.
Deducing expression for lower and upper side bands.
Obtaining expression for modulation index.
Let a carrier wave be given by
c ( t ) = A c s i n ω c t where ω c = 2 π f c
And signal wave be
m ( t ) s i n ω m t where ω m = 2 π f m
The modulated signal is
c m ( t ) = ( A c + A m s i n ω m t ) s i n ω c t
c m ( t ) = A c ( 1 +
s i n ω m t ) s i n ω c t
c m ( t ) = A c s i n ω c t + µ
cos ( ω c − ω m ) t − µ
cos ( ω c + ω m ) t
The modulation indexµ =
Lower frequency bandω c − ω m
Upper frequency bandω c + ω m
Deducing expression for lower and upper side bands.
