    Signal Sketch Spectrum

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the frequency spectrum of the Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSB-SC) signal. Participants confirm that the correct expression for the spectrum is S(f) = 1/2 (M(f - 5000) + M(f + 5000)), correcting a typo from 500 to 5000. The DSB-SC signal is characterized by the absence of carrier power in the spectrum, with sidebands located at frequencies ωc ± ωs. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between the modulating signal and the carrier frequency in determining the DSB-SC spectrum.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of DSB-SC signal modulation
  • Familiarity with frequency spectrum analysis
  • Knowledge of convolution in signal processing
  • Basic trigonometric identities related to signal multiplication
NEXT STEPS

I think the frequency spectrum is correct. However, I think there is perhaps a little typo in the working - it doesn't change the final answer though.

I think the line ## S(f) = \frac{1}{2} ( M(f - 500) + M(f + 500) ) ## should instead have ## 5000 ## in the brackets rather than 500 right? We are convolving ## M(f) ## with ## \frac{1}{2}(\delta(f - 5000) + \delta(f + 5000)) ## which would lead to:

S(f) = \frac{1}{2} ( M(f - 5000) + M(f + 5000) )
Then we substitute ## M(f) = \frac{1}{2}(\delta(f - 500) + \delta(f + 500)) ## for the first part which should lead to the same final expression that you have.

Can't read your notes but it looks like your S(f) is the carrier in the frequency spectrum.

"DSB-SC" has no carrier power in the spectrum.
The sidebands are above and below the carrier frequency.
If you multiply a signal ## sin(\omega_st ## by the carrier ## sin(\omega_ct ## you get DSB-SC spectrum as high school trig will reveal. Sidebands at ## (\omega_c + \omega_s) ## and ##\omega_c - \omega_s ##.

Sorry, I don't quite understand. From the image in the picture, it looks as if there are only the two side bands present (and the -ve frequency versions as well)...
