    Doubts Modulation
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the accuracy of spectrum representations for Amplitude Modulation (AM) techniques, specifically Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSB-SC) and Single Sideband (SSB) modulation. Participants confirm that the provided spectra for SSB and DSB-SC are correct, while expressing uncertainty about Vestigial Sideband (VSB) modulation. Reference to Stanford lecture notes provides additional validation for the understanding of VSB. The mention of the carrier peak in DSB-SC indicates a need for clarity in distinguishing between DSB and DSB-SC spectrums.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Amplitude Modulation techniques
  • Familiarity with DSB-SC and SSB modulation concepts
  • Knowledge of VSB modulation principles
  • Ability to interpret modulation spectra
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between DSB and DSB-SC modulation
  • Explore the principles of Vestigial Sideband (VSB) modulation
  • Study the spectral characteristics of Amplitude Modulation techniques
  • Review Stanford lecture notes on AM modulation for deeper insights
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in telecommunications, audio engineering, and signal processing who are looking to deepen their understanding of AM modulation techniques and their spectral representations.

The SSB and DSB-SC spectra look correct to me. I wasn't too familiar with VSB, but a quick google led to these lecture notes from Stanford (here). There is an image (shown below) in the notes which supports your understanding of VSB, so I think you are correct.

(I think the DSB may be DSB-SC as I cannot clearly see the carrier peak shown)

Hope that is of some help
