SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on expressing an AM cosine wave, represented by the equation x(t) = 12 + 7*sin(pi*t - (1/3)*pi)*cos(13*pi*t), using phasors. The goal is to rewrite this expression in the form A1cos(w1*t + phi1) + A2cos(w2*t + phi2) + A3cos(w3*t + phi3) with the condition w1 < w2 < w3. Participants suggest utilizing the exponential forms of sine and cosine to facilitate the transformation, specifically using the equations cos(ωt + φ) = (e^(i(ωt + φ)) + e^(-i(ωt + φ))) / 2 and sin(ωt + φ) = (e^(i(ωt + φ)) - e^(-i(ωt + φ))) / 2i.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of AM (Amplitude Modulation) signals

An AM cosine wave is represented by x(t)=12+7*sin(pi*t-(1/3)*pi)]*cos(13*pi*t). Use phasors to show that x(t) can be expressed in form of:

A1cos(w1*t+phi1) + A2cos(w2*t+phi2)+A3cos(w3*t+phi3) where w1<w2<w3.

I am really stuck with this. don't know where to start. can someone please help me out?

Use that

[tex]cos(\omega t +\phi)= \frac{e^{i(\omega t + \phi)}+e^{-i(\omega t + \phi)}}{2}[/tex]

and

[tex]sin(\omega t +\phi)= \frac{e^{i(\omega t + \phi)}-e^{-i(\omega t + \phi)}}{2i}[/tex]

Replace the sin and cos functions in x(t) with the exponential expressions, do all the multiplications, collect the terms with the same angular frequency and see what you get.
