Bandpass Signaling

Chapter 4

• Bandpass Signaling

2
In this chapter, we consider the situations where
the information from a source is transmitted at
its non-natural frequency (i.e., shifted
frequency). This process is called the
modulation.

• Representation of modulated signals
• Spectra
• Distortions (linear and non-linear)
• Functional blocks in bandpass communication

Basic Model for Bandpass Communication
Source
Destination
Source can be analog or digital. The use of
channel is restricted around certain frequency,
fc (gtgt 0). For example, a radio station may be
given this frequency range for commercial
broadcasting. The goal is to recover the original
information, m, exactly or in the minimum, as
closely as possible.

Definition. A baseband waveform has a spectral
magnitude (and thus its power) concentrated
around f0 and zero elsewhere.Definition. A
bandpass waveform has a spectral magnitude

Examples of Frequency Spectrum

• 300 Hz 20K Hz human voice / sound
• 50 kHz navigation (ships, submarines, etc)
• 1 MHz AM radio (20 k Hz channels)
• 10 MHz CB, short wave
• 100 MHz FM radio, TV
• 1 GHz UHF TV, mobile telephony
• 10 GHz amateur satellite
• 100 GHz upper microwave
• 10 T Hz Infrared
• 1015 Hz Visible light
• 1018 Hz X-rays

Hold-in Range and Pull-in Range
Hysteresis indicates stored energy (or
inertia) in the PLL.
Hysteresis is useful against noises or unexpected
interruptions in received signals. This
is called the anti ping-pong characteristic.

Note. If the receivers were made in digital
circuit, the incoming signal must be sampled at
the bandpass frequency. It is not easy to do so.
