Drawbacks
The envelope detector has several
drawbacks:
The input to the detector must be
band-pass filtered around the desired
signal,
or
else
the
detector
will
simultaneously
demodulate
several
signals. The filtering can be done with a
tunable filter or, more practically, a
superheterodyne receiver
It is more susceptible to noise than a
product detector
If the signal is overmodulated, distortion
will occur
Review of Modulation
Circuits
AM Generation
DSBSC Generation
AM Generation
The function of an AM modulator is to
modulate a carrier wave using an
intelligence signal, which results in
sum and difference frequencies,
together with the carrier.
DSBSC Generation
The diodes are paired and are turned on and off during the
positive and negative half of the carrier frequency cycle.
Baseband spectra and spectra of outputs from suppressedcarrier modulators. Amplitudes and phases are shown as
functions of frequency f. (a) Baseband amplitude spectrum. (b)
Baseband phase spectrum. (c) Amplitude spectrum of output from
double-sideband (DSB) modulator. (d) Amplitude spectrum of
output from upper single-sideband (SSB) modulator. (e)
Amplitude spectrum of output from lower single-sideband
Balanced Modulator
A modulator in which the carrier and
modulating signal are introduced in
such a way that the output contains
the two sidebands without the
carrier.
