5.3 Modulation and demodulation Modulation is a process of controlling or changing a parameter (amplitude, frequency, or phase) of a high-frequency oscillation by use of a measurand, usually a low-frequency signal. Controlled parameter is the amplitude of the high frequency oscillations: amplitude modulation, or AM. Frequency varied with the measurand: frequency modulation, or FM. Controlled parameter is the phase of the oscillations: phase modulation, or PM. 5.3 Modulation and demodulation The measurand, usually a low-frequency signal controlling the high frequency oscillation, is called modulating signal, the high-frequency oscillation used for carrying the low-frequency signal is known as carrier, and the resulting signal from the modulation process, still a high-frequency oscillation, is known as modulated signal. In time domain, modulation is a process in which a certain parameter of the carrier is varied with the modulating signal, while in frequency domain, it is a process of phase-shifting. 5.3 Modulation and demodulation Demodulation is the reverse process of modulation, in which the original low-frequency signal, the measurand, is recovered from the modulated signal. MODEM has wide applications in engineering. 5.3.1 Amplitude modulation and demodulation Amplitude modulation(AM) Amplitude modulation: To multiply a high-frequency signal (carrier) with the measurand (modulating signal) so that the carrier amplitude is varied with the measurand. 5.3.1 Amplitude modulation and demodulation 5.3.1 Amplitude modulation and demodulation The product of signal x(t) and the carrier is equivalent in frequency domain to a process of shifting the spectrum of x(t) to the position of carrier frequency f0 (Fig. 5.14(b)), that is, the AM process is a process of frequency-shifting. 5.3.1 Amplitude modulation and demodulation where As=amplitude of signal ωs=frequency of signal Ac=amplitude of carrier ωc=frequency of carrier The frequency ωc is greater (usually
