Analog-to-analog conversion is the representation ofAnalog-to-analog conversion is the representation of
analog information by an analog signal. One may askanalog information by an analog signal. One may ask
why we need to modulate an analog signal; it iswhy we need to modulate an analog signal; it is
already analog. Modulation is needed if the medium isalready analog. Modulation is needed if the medium is
bandpass in nature or if only a bandpass channel isbandpass in nature or if only a bandpass channel is

5.4
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.

5.6
The total bandwidth required for AM
can be determined
from the bandwidth of the audio
signal: BAM = 2B.

5.8
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

5.9
The total bandwidth required for FM can
be determined from the bandwidth
of the audio signal: BFM = 2(1 + β)B.
Where β is usually 4.

5.12
Phase Modulation (PM)
 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.

5.14
The total bandwidth required for PM can
be determined from the bandwidth
and maximum amplitude of the
modulating signal:
BPM = 2(1 + β)B.
Where β = 2 most often.
