MATLAB Note
• The simulation was adjusted for an equivalent Bandpass Filter.– It is not every applied, just the LPF after mixing– The complex noise output is 2x the real noise power
• The simulation SNR estimation is based on knowing the processing so that the result, if perfect, matches the SNR estimation value.– The result is slightly different than the “theory” …
why?• Think about theory vs. using actual filters on the signal power.

AM Conclusions
• 67% or more of the Pre-D signal power comes from the carrier (therefore CNR).– There is only 33% of the “signal” SNR for AM as
compared to DSB
• The Post-D SNRs for DSB and AM can be made the same.
• If the signal powers (SX) are identical, AM is transmitting 3 or more time the power of DSB to achieve the same output, Post-D SNR.

Envelope Detector Threshold Effect
• The demodulator required the assumption
• If the condition is not met, the modulation process degrades into signal modulated noise which is not intelligible.– Rule of thumb: Pre-D SNR > 8-10 dB
– For “normal” signal (not DSSS) you need to have the signal above the noise floor … 8 dB is a useful starting point.

Demodulation of FM/PM
• Phase Isolation and Processing
– Where
• Apply a limiter to remove the AM and apply coherent downconversion to isolate the phase

Demodulation of FM/PM
• After Extracting the Phase
• The noise PSD, when filtered by BW=B becomes
– PM post-detection noise is rectangular
• Apply appropriate filters for PM or FM– PM: include a post detection low pass filter (BW=W)– FM: a derivative and low pass filter

Summarizing Derivations (1)• The post-detection (demodulation) noise spectral densities
in PM and FM have out-of-band components that call for post-detection filtering– Clean up demod and limit noise with a LPF of bandwidth B=W
– The PM noise spectrum is flat, like linear modulation except for the out-of-band components.
– The FM noise spectrum increases parabolically, f2, so higher baseband signal frequencies suffer more noise contamination than lower frequencies.

Summarizing Derivations (2)• Since the FM noise spectrum increases parabolically, f2, so
higher baseband signal frequencies suffer more noise contamination than lower frequencies. – De-emphasis filtering can compensates for this effect, provided
that the message has been pre-emphasized at the transmitter.(See Deemphasis and Preemphasis Filtering in Chap. 5 p. 245-247.
– That is, increase power in high frequencies prior to transmission and then decrease power in high frequencies (back to flat) after demodulation. The concept for Dolby noise reduction.

29
Summarizing Derivations (3)• The effective destination noise power in PM and FM
decreases as SR increases, a phenomenon known as noise quieting.– Gamma increases for larger SR
• There is a threshold effect before demodulation works for PM, FM and envelope detected AM.– AM ~ 6-8 dB– PM & FM see simulations ..
