Mod-1 Introduction to Analog Communication: 8L
Elements of communication system - Transmitters, Transmission channels &
receivers (1), Concept of modulation, its needs (1).
Continuous Wave Linear Modulation:
a) Amplitude modulation(AM-DSB/TC): Time domain representation of AM
signal (expression derived using a single tone message), modulation
index , frequency domain (spectral) representations, illustration of the
carrier and side band components; transmission bandwidth for AM;
Phasor diagram of an AM signal;
Calculation of Transmitted power & sideband power & Efficiency ;
concept of under, over and critical modulation of AM-DSB-TC.
b) Other Amplitude Modulations: Double side band suppressed carrier
(DSBSC) modulation: time and frequency domain expressions,
bandwidth and transmission power for DSB. Single side band modulation
(SSB) both TC & SC and only the basic concept of VSB, Spectra and
band-width.
