DSB-SC Signal from Homework Statement

In summary, the conversation is about converting a given signal into a DSB-SC signal. The suggested approach is to multiply the original signal and then take the Fourier transforms accordingly. However, there is uncertainty about how to handle the DC bias in the resulting equation.

Homework Statement


I am giving the following signal:
upload_2018-3-14_19-44-58.png

and asked to get the DSB-SC signal of this

Homework Equations


3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B]
So, I know a few things.

My prof writes that

I would have to multiply my original signal out and then take the Fourier transforms accordingly ?
Yet, another source suggests:
upload_2018-3-14_19-48-4.png


I was trying to multiply it out to get
m^2(t)+2m(t)Accos(2pifct)+Ac^2cos^2(2pifct)
then I would have to take the Fourier transform but set it to f-fc. I would be unsure how to proceed with the m^2(t), so I feel like i am doing something wrong

Please use LaTeX to write your equations. (See https://www.physicsforums.com/help/latexhelp/.) It makes them much easier to read and greatly increases the likelihood that you will receive replies to your posts.
Won't ##m^2(t)## have a DC bias? Can you make use of that bias?
 

Related to DSB-SC Signal from Homework Statement

1. What is a DSB-SC signal?

A DSB-SC (Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier) signal is a type of amplitude modulation (AM) signal where both the upper and lower sidebands are transmitted, but the carrier frequency is suppressed. This results in a more efficient use of bandwidth compared to traditional AM signals.

2. How is a DSB-SC signal generated?

A DSB-SC signal can be generated by multiplying an input signal with a carrier signal that has been phase-shifted by 90 degrees. This results in a signal with the upper and lower sidebands, but no carrier component.

3. What are the advantages of using a DSB-SC signal?

There are several advantages to using a DSB-SC signal. These include a more efficient use of bandwidth, reduced interference from neighboring channels, and improved signal-to-noise ratio.

4. What are the applications of DSB-SC signals?

DSB-SC signals are commonly used in radio broadcasting, as well as in telecommunications for long-distance transmission of signals. They are also used in radar systems and in medical imaging devices.

5. How does demodulation of a DSB-SC signal work?

To demodulate a DSB-SC signal, a carrier signal with the same frequency and phase as the original carrier is used to multiply the signal. This results in the suppression of the upper and lower sidebands, leaving only the original input signal.
