The process of changing the amplitude of the "carrier" so as to add information to it (modulation) doesn't change the frequency of the carrier. But it does create energy at two other newfrequencies.

The new frequencies are equal to (carrier frequency) plus and minus (the modulating frequency). These are referred to as the upper and lower sidebands.

The upper sideband is an exact copy of the modulating signal, but with every component of it shifted up by an amount equal to the carrier frequency. The lower sideband is a mirror image of the upper sideband, with every frequency component in it reflected about the carrier frequency.

In frequency modulation what happens to the bandwidth when you increase the modulating frequency?

Bandwidth increases as a function of both modulating frequencyand deviation. As deviation increases, pairs of sidebands are generated, each equal to fc+m and fc-m, fc+2m, fc-2m etc. where fc = the carrier frequency and m = the modulating frequency. Increasing modulation (frequency deviation) will change the level of each of the sideband pairs - and the carrier, which at times falls to zero.


Is modulated voice signal a baseband or broadband?

Neither.baseband refers to the original voice signal itselfbroadband refers to a form of wide bandwidth data transmission (e.g. internet traffic)the modulated voice signal consists of a carrier frequency and two sidebands, the bandwidth of the sidebands varies depending on the form of modulation used as well as the bandwidth of the original baseband signal, to reduce transmission power it is possible to eliminate the carrier frequency and to reduce overall bandwidth one of the sidebands may be partially suppressed or eliminated completely (but one sideband must always be fully retained)


How many sidebands does an FM signal generate?

2, 4, 6, 8, 10 it depends on the amount of modulation. 100%1 on each side, 200% 2 sidebands on each side.

What are the frequency components in an am wave?

An AM wave consists of two frequency components: a carrier wave at the original frequency of the transmitted signal, and two sidebands that are located just above and below the carrier frequency. The sidebands contain the original signal information and are responsible for carrying the actual audio content.


How does the frequency change in a FM transmitter?

-- the modulation index varies -- the instantaneous deviation varies -- the amplitude of the carrier component varies -- the spectrum of sidebands varies -- the total occupied bandwidth varies

The total power content of an AM signal is 1000W Determine the power being transmitted at the carrier frequency and at each of the sidebands when the percent modulation is 100 percent?

In Double Sideband AM (DSB-AM) modulation, two thirds of the power is consumed by the carrier, so 667W would be transmitted at the carrier frequency. The remaining 333W is split equally between the two sidebands, each being mirror images of each other.

Why you are suppressing the 2 sidebands of dsbsc?

The sidebands are not suppressed in DSB-SC ... that's where the information is !.The carrier is suppressed, and only the sidebands are transmitted. The mainadvantage of doing that is the fact that the RF power that would otherwise beused for the carrier is then available for the sidebands. This swap typicallyresults in increased range of communication with the same amount of power.


What is the purpose of sidebands?

to protect information

What is frequency sensitivity?

the amount of frequency change in the carrier frequency per unit amplitude change in the message signal is the frequency sensitivity this term comes in the frequency moulation


Frequency spectrum analysis of AM wave?

An amplitude modulated signal consists of a CW (continuous wave) at the carrier frequency, plus two components for each frequency in the modulating information. The two components are separated from the carrier by a frequency equal to the modulating frequency, with one above and one below the carrier frequency. Thus, the modulating information appears twice in the spectrum of the modulated signal.
