Applications of SSB and Difficulties in Implementing SSB

• Two difficulties of SSB modulations

• Designing and implementing the sharp Low-pass (or High-pass/pass-band) filter is not easy for circuit designer.

• Hence, the message signal which does not contain the significant energy in the DC area is often modulated by the SSB such as the speech signal.

• However, the SSB cannot be applicable for the message signal which contains the significant energy around zero frequency such as video signal, computer data, and etc.

Spectrum of Speech Signal (Example)

Vestigial Sideband (VSB) Modulation

• VSB Modulation

• Modulation to overcome the two difficulties of the SSB modulations.

• Allow a small amount, or vestige, of the unwanted sideband to appear at the output of an SSB modulator

• The design of the sideband filter is simplified since the need for sharp cutoff at the carrier frequency is eliminated.

• In addition, a VSB system has improved low-frequency response and can even have dc response.

Idea of VSB Modulator

• Pass-band (or High-pass) filter for USB-SSB modulation

• The filter below is much easier to design and implement

Baseband Representation of Modulated Waves

• DSB modulated wave signal

• SSB modulated wave signal

• In general, we can write the “linear modulated wave” as

sDSB(t) = Am(t) cos(2�fct)

sSSB(t) =1

2

Am(t) cos(2�fct)±1

2

Am(t) sin(2�fct)

s(t) = sI(t) cos(2�fct)� sQ(t) sin(2�fct)

Carrier wave with frequencyfc quadrature-phase version of the carrier

c(t) = cos(2�fct) c(t) = sin(2�fct)

Orthogonal each other

• We can rewrite the modulated wave as

s(t) = sI(t)c(t)� sQ(t)c(t)

in-phase component of s(t) quadrature(-phase) component of s(t)

• Introduce the complex envelop of the modulated wave s(t)

• Define the complex carrier wave

s(t) = sI(t) + jsQ(t)

c(t) = cI(t)� jcQ(t)

• Consider the following

• Real term

• Imaginary term

s(t) · exp(j2�fct) =

sI(t) + jsQ(t)

�·cos(2�fct) + j sin(2�fct)

�

⇥s(t) · exp(j2�fct)

�= sI(t) · cos(2�fct)� sQ(t) · sin(2�fct)

�s(t) · exp(j2�fct)

�= sI(t) sin(2�fct) + sQ(t) cos(2�fct)

Xs(t)

exp(j2�fct)

�·�

s(t)

• Now consider

• Then we can represent the modulated wave as

s(t) = sI(t) + jsQ(t) = a(t)ej�(t)

where

a(t) =q

s2I(t) + js2Q(t), �(t) = tan�1 sQ(t)

sI(t)

s(t) = <s(t)ej2⇥fct

�= <

a(t)ej�(t)ej2⇥fct

�

= <a(t)ej[2⇥fct+�(t)]

= a(t) cos[2⇥fct+ �(t)]

• Three different representation of modulated wave using its equivalent baseband signal

s(t) = sI(t) cos(2⇥fct)� sQ(t) sin(2⇥fct)

= <s(t)ej2�fct

�

= a(t) cos[2⇥fct+ �(t)]

• To transmit a number of communication signals over the same channel, the signals must be kept apart so that they do not interfere with each other, and thus they can be separated at the receiving end.
