EEE 309 Communication Theory: Instructor: Tishna Sabrina Summer 2016

This document summarizes key points from a lecture on amplitude modulation. It discusses how modulation moves a message signal to a specific frequency band dictated by the communication channel. It then explains that amplitude modulation modulates the amplitude of a carrier signal by the message signal. The document also describes how a switching modulator can be used instead of multiplication for modulation, and how this switching modulator works by using a square pulse train and bandpass filter to extract the amplitude-modulated signal.

Amplitude Modulation

Modulation

A process that moves the message signal into a


specific frequency band that is dictated by the
physical channel.
Message signal can be used to modulate any
one of the three parameters of a carrier signal

Amplitude Modulation (AM)


Frequency Modulation (FM)
Phase Modulation (PM)
