If more than one message signal utilizes a channel
modulation allows translation of different signals to different spectral locations
multiplexing allows two or more message signals to be transmitted by a single transmitter (frequency division multiplexing)
desired modulated signal can be selected by a receiver

Recovery of Baseband Signal
To recovery the baseband signal, we can simply multiply the translated signal with cos (2π fc t).
We obtain the baseband signal x(t) and a signal whose spectral range extends from (2fc-W) to (2fc+W). As fc >> W, the extra signal is removed by a low-pass filter.

Amplitude Modulation
The envelope of the modulated carrier has the same shape as the message signal.
The amplitude of the carrier wave [ Ac cos(2π fct) ] varies linearly with the baseband message signal x(t).
The standard form of an amplitude-modulated (AM) signal is given by:

At least 50% of total transmitted power resides in the carrier term which conveys no information wasteful of power

Amplitude Modulation: DSB-SCThe “wasted” carrier power in DSB-LC can be eliminated by setting ma=1 and suppressing the carrier.
Thus the modulated signals becomes

Phase error and frequency error results in undesirable distortion. In somecases, they vary randomly, resulting in unacceptable performance.
Remedy:Using a synchronized oscillator to recover the original signal f(t) from themodulated signal φ(t). (Synchronous detection, or coherent detection)
ERG2310A-II p. II-23
Amplitude Modulation: DSB-SC
The original signal x(t) can be recovered from the modulated signal s(t) by multiplyings(t) by cosωct (i.e. synchronous detection).
The same circuits as those used for modulation can be used for demodulation withthe following minor differences.
1. Since the desired output spectrum is centered about ω=0 and therefore a low-passfilter is needed at the output.
2. The oscillator in the demodulator must be synchronized to the oscillator in the demodulator to achieve proper demodulation.
This is usually accomplished by either a direct connection if the modulator and demodulator are in close proximity or by supplying a sinusoid displaced in frequency but related to the modulator-oscillator frequency. The sinusoid is called a “pilot carrier”.
ERG2310A-II p. II-24
Amplitude Modulation: DSB-SC
Pilot Carrier SystemsIt is a common method used in DSB-SC modulation to maintain synchronizationbetween modulator and demodulator.In this case, a sinusoidal tone whose frequency and phase are related to thecarrier frequency is generated and is sent outside the pass-band of the modulatedsignal so it will not alter the frequency response capability of the system.
A tuned circuit in the receiver detects the tone, translate it to the proper frequency,and uses it to correctly demodulate the DSB-SC signal.e.g. Stereo-multiplex system

Quadrature MultiplexingUsing the orthogonality of sines and cosines , it is possible to transmit andreceive two different signals simultaneously on the same frequency.
Thus, each signal can be recovered by synchronous detection of the receivedsignal using carriers of the same frequency but in phase quadrature.

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)
Frequency-division multiplexing is the positioning of signal spectra in frequency such that each signal spectrum can be separated out from all the others by filtering.

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)
Example: commercial radio and television receiver
ERG2310A-II p. II-30
Intermediate Frequency (IF)
Heterodyning means the translating or shifting in frequency.
In the heterodyne receiver the incoming modulated signal is translated in frequency, thus occupying an equal bandwidth centered about a new frequency, known as an intermediate frequency (IF), which is fixed and is not dependent on the received signal center frequency.
The signal is amplified at the IF before demodulation.
If this intermediate frequency is lower than the received carrier frequency but above the final output signal frequency, it is called a superheterodyne receiver.
ERG2310A-II p. II-31
Intermediate Frequency (IF)
Advantage:The amplification and filtering is performed at a fixed frequency regardless ofstation selection.
Disadvantage:Image-frequency problem
Two ways to solve this problemi. Choose the intermediate frequency as
high as possible and practical.ii. Attenuate the image frequency before
heterodyning.
The intermediate frequency chosen must be free from other strong transmissionsor otherwise the receivers will amplify these spurious signals as they leak into the high-gain IF stages.
ERG2310A-II p. II-32
Intermediate Frequency (IF)
Example:A given radar receiver operating at a frequency of 2.80 GHz and using the super-heterodyne principle has a local oscillator frequency of 2.86 GHz . A second radarreceiver operates at the image frequency of the first and interference results.
(a) Determine the intermediate frequency of the first radar receiver.(b) What is the carrier frequency of the second receiver?(c) If you were to redesign the radar receiver, what is the minimum intermediate
frequency you would choose to prevent image-frequency problems in the 2.80-3.00 GHz radar band?
