Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) and the Single Sideband

(SSB) techniques in Amplitude-Modulation (AM) Systems.
Objetive
The student will develop a Scilab script file to demonstrate the Frequency Division
Multiplexing (FDM) and the Single Sideband (SSB) techniques in AmplitudeModulation (AM) Systems.
Introduction
Amplitude Modulation (AM) is the method that consist in using the information
signal to modulate the amplitude of another signal, which is usually of higher
frequency.
Single-Sideband Modulation (SSB)
Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) is used when the bandwidth of the cannel is
larger than the bandwidth of an information channel. To recover the individual
channels in the demultiplexing procces requires two basics steps:
1. Band-Pass Filtering to extract the modulated signal corresponding to a
specific channel
2. Demodulation to recover and retain the original signal.

Body
One method to retain the Upper Sidebands of an information signal lis through
ideal high pass filtering. The carrier frecuencies of the sinusoidal modulator
W A , W BW c must be chosen so that he signals X A ( t ) , X B ( t ) X c ( t ) do not
overlap to each other. The sinusoidal demodulator must recover one signal of the
group of signals.

We can obtain a BPF by shifting the frecuency response of a LPF by two deltas,
which is the same as multiplying in time domain the sinc fuction and a cosine
function. It is neccesary to implement the modulation and the demodulation as
multiplication of signals and the filtering of signals as convolution, therefore the
filters must be characterized by their unite-impulse response.

Group A, recover signal

X C (t ) , upper sidebands.

Plots
1. Plot the spectrum of the filter that retains the sidebands.

2. Plot the spectrum of the three signals that have been treated with FDM and
SSB (the plot must show three spectra together, both positive and negative
frequencies).

3. Plot the spectrum of the BPF and LPF that demultiplex one of the three
signals (these filters are part of the demultiplexor of the FDM).

4. Plot the spectrum of the recovered signal.
