Phasor addition in an AM DSBFC envelope
• For a single-frequency modulating signal, am AM
envelop is produced from the vector addition of the
carrier and upper and lower side frequencies.
Phasors of the carrier,
• The upper and lower frequencies combine and
produce a resultant component that combines with
the carrier component.
• Phasors for the carrier, upper and lower
frequencies all rotate in the counterclockwise
direction.
• The upper sideband frequency rotates faster than
the carrier. (usf > c)
• The lower sideband frequency rotes slower than
the carrier. (usf < c)

If the modulating signal is pure, single frequency sine wave and the modulation
process is symmetrical, the % modulation can be derived as follows:
16
Peak Amplitudes of Upper and Lower Sidebands
The peak change in amplitude of the output wave
(Em) is equal to the sum of the voltages from the
upper and lower sideband frequencies. Therefore,

Simplified Block Diagram of an AM Receiver
• Receiver front end = RF section
– Detecting the signal
– Band-limiting the signal
– Amplifying the Band-limited signal
• Mixer/converter
– Down converts the RF signal to an IF signal
• Intermediate frequency (IF) signal
– Amplification
– Selectivity
• Ability of a receiver to accept assigned frequency
• Ability of a receiver to reject other frequencies
• AM detector demodulates the IF signal to the original signal
• Audio section amplifies the recovered signal.

Noise reduction ratio
BI = BRF / BIF
Noise figure improvement
NFIMP = 10 log BI
Determine the noise improvement for a receiver with an
RF bandwidth equal to 200 KHz and an IF bandwidth
equal to 10 KHz.
– BI = 200 KHz / 10 KHZ = 20
– NFImp = 10 log 20 = 13 dB
60
Sensitivity
• Sensitivity: minimum RF signal level that the
receiver can detect at the RF input.
• AM broadcast receivers
– 10 dB signal to noise ratio
– ½ watt (27 dBm) of power at the audio output
– 50 uV Sensitivity
• Microwave receivers
– 40 dB signal to noise ratio
– 5 mw (7 dBm) of power at the output
• Aa
61
Dynamic Range
• Dynamic Range
– Difference in dB between the minimum input level and
the level that will over drive the receiver (produce
distortion).
– Input power range that the receiver is useful.
– 100 dB is about the highest posible.
• Low Dynamic Range
– Causes desensitizing of the RF amplifiers
– Results in sever inter-modulation distortion of weaker
signals
62
Fidelity
• Ability to produce an exact replica of the original signal.
• Forms of distortion
– Amplitude
• Results from non-uniform gain in amplifiers and filters.
• Output signal differs from the original signal
– Frequency: frequencies are in the output that were
not in the orginal signal
– Phase
• Not important for voice transmission
• Devastating for digital transmission
