Theory :
The DSB-SC system modulates a signal m(t) by multiplying it by a sinusoidal signal called
the carrier signal 𝑐𝑐(𝑡𝑡) = 𝐴𝐴𝑐𝑐 cos(𝜔𝜔𝑐𝑐 𝑡𝑡)
𝑚𝑚𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷−𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 (𝑡𝑡) = 𝑚𝑚(𝑡𝑡) × 𝐴𝐴𝑐𝑐 cos(𝜔𝜔𝑐𝑐 𝑡𝑡) Ex 4.1
The Fourier transform of Ex 4.1 is
𝐴𝐴𝑐𝑐
𝑀𝑀𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷−𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 (𝜔𝜔) = [𝑀𝑀(𝜔𝜔 − 𝜔𝜔𝑐𝑐 ) + 𝑀𝑀(𝜔𝜔 + 𝜔𝜔𝑐𝑐 )] Ex 4.2

From Ex 4.2, the bandwidth 𝐵𝐵𝑇𝑇 of the transmission is twice wider m(t).
𝐵𝐵𝑇𝑇 = 2𝑊𝑊 Ex 4.3

Where W is the bandwidth of the message signal. Further, it can be seen that the carrier signal
alone did not appears in the spectrum equation, Ex 4.2, that is why this amplitude modulation
called AM-Suppressed Carrier.
In the DSB-SC AM modulation system, the demodulation process can be achieved by

multiplying Ex 4.1 by the carrier signal again, with amplitude correction which is 2⁄𝐴𝐴𝑐𝑐

𝑦𝑦 = 𝑚𝑚𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷−𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 (𝑡𝑡) × cos(𝜔𝜔𝑐𝑐 𝑡𝑡) = 𝑚𝑚(𝑡𝑡) + 2𝑚𝑚(𝑡𝑡) cos(2𝜔𝜔𝑐𝑐 𝑡𝑡) Ex 4.4
𝐴𝐴𝑐𝑐
If we see the Fourier transform of Ex 4.4,

𝑌𝑌 = 𝑀𝑀(𝜔𝜔 − 2𝜔𝜔𝑐𝑐 ) + 𝑀𝑀(𝜔𝜔) + 𝑀𝑀(𝜔𝜔 + 2𝜔𝜔𝑐𝑐 ) Ex 4.5

We can see that the message signal has been translated to its original frequency, which can be
recovered by low pass filter.
Procedure: Implementing the DSB-SC modulation.
Use the following MATLAB program to implement the DSB-SC AM-modulation, write the
program in your PC and run it. The program will ask you to input the carrier amplitudes, and will
ask you to input the carrier frequencies.
% simulates DSB-AM
clear all, close all; clc;
Ac=input('Carrier Amplitude Ac = '); % Carrier Amplitude
fc=input('Carrier Frequency [in Hz] Fc = '); % Carrier Frequency
wc=2*pi*fc;
Tb=0.1; % Bit interval time
T=1/fc/8; % Sampling period
Fs=1/T; % Sampling frequency
Nb=Tb/T; lt=2^(nextpow2(3*Nb)); t=[1:lt]*T; % time vector
m= ones(Nb,1)*[4 -8 -4]; m=m(:).'; % message signal m(t)
m=[m, zeros(1,lt-length(m))];
m_dsb=Ac*m.*cos(wc*t); % AM-DSB signal
y_dsb=m_dsb*2/Ac.*cos(wc*t); % Demodulated signal
N=20; Bd= fir1(N,fc*T); Ad=1; % 20th-order FIR LPF
y_dtr=filter(Bd,Ad,y_dsb); % Detected with LPF
plot_MOD(T,lt,m,m_dsb,y_dsb,'DSB-AMSC',y_dtr,Bd,Ad)
You will need this function to get the results plotted:

function plot_MOD(T,lt,msg,modul,demodul,How,detected,Bd,Ad)
% plots AM signals and their spectra
Fs=1/T; % Sampling Frequency/Period
t=[1:lt]*T; f =[-Fs/2: Fs/lt: Fs/2]; % Time/Freq. vector
M=fftshift(fft(msg));
M=[M M(1)]*T; % Spectrum of Message signal
Modul=fftshift(fft(modul));
Modul=[Modul Modul(1)]*T; % Spectrum of modulated signal
Y=fftshift(fft(demodul));
Y=[Y Y(1)]*T; % Spectrum of demodulated signal
subplot(421), plot(t,msg)
title('Message signal m(t)')
subplot(422), plot(f,abs(M))
title('Spectrum of message')
subplot(423), plot(t,modul)
title([How ' modulated signal'])
subplot(424), plot(f,abs(Modul))
title('Spectrum of modulated signal')
subplot(425), plot(t,demodul)
title('Demodulated signal y(t)')
subplot(426), plot(f,abs(Y))
title('Spectrum Y(f) of y(t)')
if nargin==9
H=fftshift(fft(Bd,lt)./fft(Ad,lt));
Hm=abs([H H(1)]); % Frequency Response of LPF
hold on, plot(f,Hm,'r-')
end
if nargin>6
Y_dtr=fftshift(fft(detected));
Y_dtr=[Y_dtr Y_dtr(1)]*T; % Spectrum of detected signal
subplot(427), plot(t,detected)
title('Lowpass filtered output y_dtr(t)')
subplot(428), plot(f,abs(Y_dtr))
title('Spectrum Y_dtr of y_dtr(t)')
end
Perform the following steps,
1. Run the program and record all your results,

2. Change the message signal to [44 , 0 , −12, and record all the results.
3. Change the message signal to sin(2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋), where 𝑊𝑊 = 5 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻, and record all the results.
4. Change the message signal to sin(2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋), where 𝑊𝑊 = 50 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻, and record all the results.
5. Change the message signal to sawtooth(2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋), where 𝑊𝑊 = 5 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻, and record all the
results.
6. Change the message signal to square(2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋), where 𝑊𝑊 = 15 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻, and record all the
results.
Discussion:
1. How to calculate the power of the modulated signal?

2. If there is a phase shift error in the carrier at the receiver side, what will happen to the
received signal? Explain it mathematically.
3. From the results you obtained, calculate the bandwidth of the transmitted signals.
Good Luck
