Analog Communication - DSBSC Modulation

The document discusses Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSBSC) modulation, which improves efficiency by eliminating the carrier wave that carries no information. It outlines the mathematical representation of DSBSC, its bandwidth, and power calculations, indicating that the bandwidth is twice the frequency of the modulating signal and the total power is the sum of the powers of the upper and lower sidebands. This method allows for more efficient use of power in analog communication systems.

Analog Communication - DSBSC Modulation

In the process of Amplitude Modulation, the modulated wave consists of the carrier wave and
two sidebands. The modulated wave has the information only in the sidebands. Sideband is
nothing but a band of frequencies, containing power, which are the lower and higher frequencies
of the carrier frequency.

The transmission of a signal, which contains a carrier along with two sidebands can be termed
as Double Sideband Full Carrier system or simply DSBFC. It is plotted as shown in the following
figure.

However, such a transmission is inefficient. Because, two-thirds of the power is being wasted in
the carrier, which carries no information.

If this carrier is suppressed and the saved power is distributed to the two sidebands, then such a
process is called as Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier system or simply DSBSC. It is plotted
as shown in the following figure.
Mathematical Expressions
Let us consider the same mathematical expressions for modulating and carrier signals as we
have considered in the earlier chapters.

i.e., Modulating signal

m (t) = Am cos(2πfm t)

Carrier signal

c (t) = Ac cos(2πfc t)

Mathematically, we can represent the equation of DSBSC wave as the product of modulating and
carrier signals.

s (t) = m (t) c (t)

⇒ s (t) = Am Ac cos(2πfm t) cos(2πfc t)

Bandwidth of DSBSC Wave


We know the formula for bandwidth (BW) is

BW = fmax − fmin

Consider the equation of DSBSC modulated wave.

s (t) = Am Ac cos(2πfm t) cos(2πfc t)


Am Ac Am Ac
⇒ s (t) = cos[2π (fc + fm ) t] + cos[2π (fc − fm ) t]
2 2

The DSBSC modulated wave has only two frequencies. So, the maximum and minimum
frequencies are fc + fm and fc − fm respectively.

i.e.,

fmax = fc + fm and fmin = fc − fm

Substitute, fmax and fmin values in the bandwidth formula.

BW = fc + fm − (fc − fm )

⇒ BW = 2fm

Thus, the bandwidth of DSBSC wave is same as that of AM wave and it is equal to twice the
frequency of the modulating signal.

Power Calculations of DSBSC Wave


Consider the following equation of DSBSC modulated wave.

Am Ac Am Ac
s (t) = cos[2π (fc + fm ) t] + cos[2π (fc − fm ) t]
2 2

Power of DSBSC wave is equal to the sum of powers of upper sideband and lower sideband
frequency components.

Pt = PU SB + PLSB

We know the standard formula for power of cos signal is

– 2

vrms (vm √2)
P = =
R R

First, let us find the powers of upper sideband and lower sideband one by one.

Upper sideband power

– 2
2 2
(Am Ac /2√2) Am Ac
PU SB = =
R 8R

Similarly, we will get the lower sideband power same as that of upper sideband power.

2 2
Am Ac
PU SB =
8R
Now, let us add these two sideband powers in order to get the power of DSBSC wave.

2 2 2 2
Am Ac Am Ac
Pt = +
8R 8R

2 2
Am Ac
⇒ Pt =
4R

Therefore, the power required for transmitting DSBSC wave is equal to the power of both the
sidebands.
