Continuous-Time
Modulation
In this lecture, we begin the discussion of modulation. This is an important
concept in communication systems and, as we will see in Lecture 15, also pro-
vides the basis for converting between continuous-time and discrete-time sig-
nals. In its most general sense, modulation means using one signal to vary a
parameter of another signal. In communication systems, for example, if a
channel is particularly suited to transmission in a certain frequency range, the
information to be transmitted may be embedded in a carrier signal matched to
the channel. The mechanism by which the information is embedded is modu-
lation; that is, the information to be transmitted is used to modulate some pa-
rameter of the carrier signal. In sinusoidal frequency modulation, for example,
the information is used to modulate the carrier frequency. In sinusoidal ampli-
tude modulation, the carrier is sinusoidal at a frequency that the channel can
accommodate, and the information to be transmitted modulates the ampli-
tude of this carrier. Furthermore, in communication systems, if many differ-
ent signals are to be transmitted over the same channel, a technique referred
to asfrequencydivision multiplexingis often used. In this method each sig-
nal is used to modulate a carrier of a different frequency so that in the com-
posite signal the information for each of the separate signals occupies non-
overlapping frequency bands.
The modulation property for Fourier transforms applies directly to am-
plitude modulation, that is, the interpretation in the frequency domain of the
result of multiplying a carrier signal by a modulating signal. From the modula-
tion property we know that for amplitude modulation the spectrum of the
modulated output is the convolution ofthe spectra of the carrier and the mod-
ulating signal. When the carrier is either a complex exponential or a sinu-
soidal signal, the spectrum of the carrier is one or a pair of impulses and the
result ofthe convolution is then to shift the spectrum of the modulating signal
to a center frequency equal to the carrier frequency. Modulation with a single
complex exponential and with a sinusoidal signal are closely related.
With a complex exponential carrier, demodulation, i.e., recovery of the
original modulating signal, is relatively straightforward, basically involving
modulating a second time with the complex corjugate signal. With sinusoidal
13-1

amplitude modulation, demodulation consists of modulating again with a si-
nusoidal carrier followed by lowpass filtering to extract the original signal.
This form of demodulation is typically referred to as synchronous demodula-
tion since it requires synchronization between the sinusoidal carrier signals in
the modulator and demodulator. However, by adding a constant to the modu-
lating signal or equivalently injecting some carrier signal into the modulated
output, a simpler form of demodulator can be used. This is referred to as
asynchronousdemodulationand typically results in a less expensive demod-
ulator. However, the fact that a carrier signal is injected into the modulated
signal represents an inefficiency of power transmission.
