S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University AM Standards See p. 308

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University AM: Features AM system is very cheap to build and maintain AM is wasteful of power - max efficiency is 33% AM is wasteful of bandwidth - twice the message bandwidth is required AM Modifications: DSB-SC SSB VSB

S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Complex Envelope Representation We want a common mathematical representation for information transfer from baseband to bandpass any bandpass signal any time of modulation signal/noise and signal+noise Signal P rocessing Carrier circuits Channel Carrier circuits Signal processing m(t) g(t) s(t) r(t) n(t)
