# ECOMMS Homework 3 - Aidan Sharpe ## Problem 1 A sinusoidal signal $m(t) = \cos(2\pi f_m t)$ is the input to an angle-modulated transmitter, $A_c = 1$, and the carrier frequency is $f_c = 1$ Hz and $f_m = f_c/4$. Plot $m(t)$, and the corresponding phase and frequency modulated signals, $S_p(t)$ and $S_f(t)$ respecively. $D_p = \pi$ and $D_f = \pi$. ```python f_c = 1 f_m = f_c/4 f_s = 8E3 T_s = 1/f_s A_c = 1 D_p = np.pi D_f = np.pi omega_m = 2*np.pi*f_m omega_c = 2*np.pi*f_c # Time samples from to 10 seconds with a sampling frequency of 8kHz. t = np.arange(0,10,T_s) # The message signal m = np.cos(omega_m * t) # The phase modulated signal S_p = np.cos(omega_c*t + D_p*m) # The time integral of the mesage signal M = np.sin(omega_m * t) / omega_m # The frequency modulated signal S_f = np.cos(omega_c*t + D_f*M) ``` ![](1.png) ## Problem 2 An FM signal has sinusoidal modulation with a frequency of $f_m = 15$kHz and a modulation index of $\beta = 2.0$. Find the transmission bandwidth by using Carson's rule, and find the percentage of total FM signal power that lies within the Carson rule bandwidth. ```python # Modulation index beta = 2.0 # Message frequency f_m = 15E+3 # Transmission bandwidth B_T = 2*(beta+1)*f_m ``` $\boxed{B_T = 90\text{kHz}}$ ```python A_c = 1 n = np.arange(-3,4,1) # Evaluate the Bessel function at values in Carson rule bandwidth bessel_values = np.abs(sp.special.jv(n,beta)) P_C = 0.5 * A_c**2 * np.sum(bessel_values**2)) P = 0.5 * A_c**2 ``` \boxed{P_c = 0.9976 P} ## Problem 3 A modulated RF waveform is given by $500\cos(\omega_c t + 20\cos(\omega_1 t))$, where $\omega_1 = 2\pi f_1$, $f_1 = 1$kHz, $\omega_c = 2\pi f_c$, and $f_c = 100$MHz. ### 3a If the phase sensitivity $D_p = 100$ rad/V, find the mathematical expression for the corresponding phase modulation voltage $m(t)$. What is its peak value and frequency? $m(t) = \frac{20\cos(\omega_1 t)}{D_p} = 0.2\cos(\omega_1 t)$ Peak value: $2 \times 10^{-1}$ Frequency: 1kHz ### 3b If the frequency deviation constant $D_f = 10^6$rad/Vs, find the mathematical expression for the corresponding FM voltage $m(t)$. What is its peak value and its frequency? $\theta(t) = 20\cos(\omega_1 t)$ $m(t) = \frac{1}{D_f} \frac{d \theta(t)}{dt} = -2 \times 10^{-5} \omega_1 \sin(\omega_1 t)$ Peak value: $2 \times 10^{-5}$ Frequency: 1kHz ### 3c If the RF waveform appears across a 50$\Omega$ load, determine the average power and the PEP. The average power and the PEP are the same: $\frac{A_c^2}{2} \times \frac{1}{50} = 2.5$kW.
