Cheat Sheet: ECE 318: Prepared by Walid Abediseid 1 Modulation Schemes

This document provides a cheat sheet on key concepts for ECE 318 including: 1) Definitions and equations for signal power, power spectral density, and signal-to-noise ratio. The power of a signal can be calculated from its power spectral density. 2) An overview of common modulation schemes including DSB-LC, DSB-SC, USSB, LSSB, and VSB along with their transmitted signal formats and bandwidth requirements. 3) Details on demodulating modulated signals using linear time-invariant systems and filters, and calculating signal-to-noise ratio at the output of such systems.

Why Modulation? Make transmission more reliable.


Reduce noise and interference. To facilitate channel assignment and multiplexing.

Find the SNR at the output?


Solution: Let y(t) = x(t) h(t), and n0 (t) = n(t) h(t). In
order to find the average power of y(t) and n0 (t), we need
to find their corresponding power spectral density functions
Sy (), Sn0 ():

However, for VSB modulation scheme, the filter at the


transmitter side hVSB (t) must satisfy the condition:
H( c ) + H( + c ) = constant, so that one can use
the above demodulator to recover the actual message
signal f (t).
An exception to the above demodulator, is the DSBLC. If the modulation index such that the envelope
of s(t) is greater than zero, i.e., (Ac + f (t)) > 0, then
a simple RC circuit can be used to recover f (t).

For SSB: f(t) = t
f (t) is the Hilbert Transform of f (t)
(hard to find in time-domain). In frequency domain:
F () = jsgn()F (). Hilbert Transform acts as a

90 phase delay. Example cos(t)
sin(t), in this case no need to do Fourier Transform.
All the above modulation schemes can be demodulated
(coherently) using the following:
