Plotting the Spectrum of a DSB-C Signal

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on plotting the magnitude spectrum of a double-sideband continuous wave (DSB-C) signal defined by the function m(t)=0.2sin(w1*t) + 0.5cos(w2*t). The Fourier transform is provided as M(F)=0.25[∂(f-f2)+∂(f+f2)] + 0.1j[∂(f+f1)-∂(f-f1)], prompting a question about how to sketch its magnitude spectrum. The magnitude is expressed as |M(F)|=0.25[∂(f-f2)+∂(f+f2)] + 0.1[∂(f+f1)-∂(f-f1)], highlighting the importance of phase changes for sine and cosine components. Phasor diagrams are suggested as an effective way to represent these phase changes visually. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurately sketching the spectrum.

I have m(t)=0.2sin(w1*t) + 0.5cos(w2*t) ---> Note: the 1 and 2 besides "w" (omega) is not a coefficient, its a subscript to show that they are different.

I found the Fourier transform to be M(F)=0.25[∂(f-f2)+∂(f+f2)] + 0.1j[∂(f+f1)-∂(f-f1)].

My question is, how do I sketch the magnitude spectra of this?

| M(F) |=0.25[∂(f-f2)+∂(f+f2)] + 0.1[∂(f+f1)-∂(f-f1)].

Phase changes for sin and cos.

These can be better represented by phasor diagrams that you might have or will see soon.
 
Thanks!
