Instructions: Answer all questions
16 How the modulation and demodulation of the voice signal is carried 10 3 1 2
.A out? Explain 3 types of modulation
Analog-to-analog conversion is the representation of analog
information by an analog signal. One may ask why we need to
modulate an analog signal; it is already analog. Modulation is
needed if the medium is bandpass in nature or if only a bandpass
channel is available to us.
Amplitude Modulation
A carrier signal is modulated only in amplitude value
The modulating signal is the envelope of the carrier
The required bandwidth is 2B, where B is the bandwidth of the
modulating signal
Since on both sides of the carrier freq. fc, the spectrum is
identical, we can discard one half, thus requiring a smaller
bandwidth for transmission.
Frequency Modulation
• The modulating signal changes the freq. fc of the carrier signal
• The bandwidth for FM is high
• It is approx. 10x the signal frequency
Phase Modulation
The modulating signal only changes the phase of the carrier
signal.
The phase change manifests itself as a frequency change but
the instantaneous frequency change is proportional to the
derivative of the amplitude.
The bandwidth is higher than for AM.

16 Demonstrate the concept of multiplexing and its types with a neat 10 4 2 4
.B diagram.
Multiplexing in 4 dimensions
• space (si)
• time (t)
• frequency (f)
• code (c)
Frequency Division
• Separation of the whole spectrum into smaller frequency bands
• A channel gets a certain band of the spectrum for the whole
time
• Advantages:
no dynamic coordination
necessary
works also for analog signals
• Disadvantages:
waste of bandwidth
if the traffic is
distributed unevenly
inflexible
guard spaces
Time Division
• A channel gets the whole spectrum for a certain amount of
time
• Advantages:
only one carrier in the medium at any time
throughput high even
for many users
• Disadvantages:
precise synchronization
necessary
Code Division
• Each channel has a unique code
• All channels use the same spectrum
at the same time
• Advantages:
• bandwidth efficient
• no coordination and synchronization necessary
• good protection against interference and tapping
• Disadvantages:
• lower user data rates
• more complex signal regeneration
• Implemented using spread spectrum technology
