Sketch the spectrum of the DSB-SC signal
Click For Summary
Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around the frequency spectrum of a Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSB-SC) signal, with participants examining their calculations and interpretations of the spectrum. The scope includes technical explanations and homework-related inquiries.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation
- Homework-related
- Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- Some participants propose that the frequency spectrum presented is correct but suggest a possible typo regarding the frequency value used in the convolution.
- One participant argues that the correct frequency should be 5000 instead of 500 in the expression for S(f), leading to a different interpretation of the spectrum.
- Another participant emphasizes that the DSB-SC signal does not contain carrier power in the spectrum and highlights the presence of sidebands at frequencies above and below the carrier frequency.
- There is a mention of the mathematical relationship between the signal and the carrier, suggesting that the sidebands can be derived using trigonometric identities.
- One participant expresses confusion regarding the presence of only two sidebands in the spectrum as depicted in an image, questioning the absence of the carrier power.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing views on the correct interpretation of the frequency spectrum, with some agreeing on the presence of sidebands while others contest the details of the calculations and the role of the carrier. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the specific frequency values and the implications for the DSB-SC signal.
Contextual Notes
There are unresolved assumptions regarding the definitions of terms used and the mathematical steps taken in the derivation of the frequency spectrum. The discussion reflects varying interpretations of the DSB-SC signal characteristics.
