Modulation and Occupied BandwidthThe bandwidth occupied by a signal depends

on:•input information bandwidth•modulation method

Information to be transmitted, called“input”or “baseband”•bandwidth usually is small, much lower

than frequency of carrier Unmodulated carrier

•the carrier itself has Zero bandwidth!! AM-modulated carrier

•Notice the upper & lower sidebands•total bandwidth = 2 x baseband

FM-modulated carrier•Many sidebands! bandwidth is a complex

mathematical function PM-modulated carrier

Advanced Modulation ConceptsPerformance of different Modulation Types

Each type of modulation has advantages and drawbacks: Necessary bandwidth

•How wide is the signal? How much spectrum is needed?•How big a “guard band”is needed between channels?

Relative vulnerability to interference•What C/I ratio is required for good system performance?

Relative difficulty of implementation•Is complex equipment required?•Is it costly to implement?•Is it hard to maintain and adjust?

Let’s explore the different modulation methods used inmodern mobile telephony.

A Closer Look at Analog FMHow Much Bandwidth is Required?

Carson RuleBandwidth Required = 2 x (highest input frequency + frequency deviation)

As time passes, the carrier moves backand forth in frequency in exact stepwith the input signal

frequency deviation is proportional to theinput signal voltage

a group of many sidebands is created,spaced from carrier by amounts N x fi

relative strength of each sidebandNdepends on Bessel function of (inputsignal freq./freq. deviation)

strength of individual sidebands faraway from the carrier is proportional to(freq. deviation x input frequency)

Analog FM is used onAMPS Cellular Voice Channels

Two signals simultaneously modulatethe AMPS cellular voice channel:

User’s voice waveform•complex, many frequencies approx.

300Hz to 3500 Hz.•peak deviation limited to +/- 12 KHz

Supervisory Audio Tone (“SAT”)•tone frequency 5970, 6000, or 6030 Hz.•peak deviation set as +/- 2.0 KHz.

The resulting composite FM signal fitswithin the assigned 30 KHz.-widechannel

Signaling Tone at 10 KHz with +/- 8 kHz.deviation is also transmitted inoccasional bursts for call control

Analog Frequency Modulation

Can be very resistant to natural or man-made interference, if the RFbandwidth is much larger than the audio bandwidth. FM in analogcellular is 30 kHz bandwidth for a nominal 5 kHz audio bandwidth.

Received RF signal can be amplitude clipped to remove pulses of noisebigger than the desired signal.

Co-channel interference will produce a very high frequency audiooutput, related to the instantaneous frequency difference between thedesired and interfering signal. This can be removed by a low-passaudio filter.

FM has the "capture phenomenon". When a desired FM signal issufficiently stronger than FM co-channel interference, substantially theonly audio output from the detector is the desired audio signal. Theratio of carrier to interference usually specified for analog cellular is 18dB C/I.

MODULATION EQUATIONS FOR CONGESTEDCELLULAR SYSTEMS

AM S/N ratio: baseband S/N ratio for cellular amplitude modulation is

S/NAM = 0.25 C/I where C/I is the RF carrier-to-interference ratio

AMPS FM S/N ratio for voice: baseband S/N ratio for cellular voicechannel

S/NFM = C/I where C/I = the RF carrier-to-interference ratio ( C/I >13dB)= 48S/NAM = modulation index = 4

Assumption: the dominant noise source in a congested cellular system isco-channel interference (C/I)

AMPS FM S/N ratio for SAT: baseband s/n ratio for narrowbandcellular FM

Input signal is Manchester-encoded data(no DC component)•10 KB rate

Output Signal is FSK-modulated•+/- 8 KHz deviation•Binary 0 = fc - 8 KHz•Binary 1 = fc + 8 KHz.

On voice channels, when systemmessages must be sent, the FM voiceand SAT modulation is briefly mutedand replaced by FSK (this is called “blank and burst”mode)

Modulation by Digital Inputs

For example, let this digital waveformmodulate a signal. No more continuousanalog variations, now we’re “shifting”between discrete levels. We call this“shift keying”

Modified forms of FSK:MSK and GMSK

MSK and GMSK are forms of FSK• input signal is pre-filtered to eliminate abrupt

shifts• this reduces the spectrum occupied by the

output signal MSK

•The frequency shift never produces a phasediscontinuity; this reduces spectrum required

• the output spectrum still contains sidelobes GMSK: Used in GSM, DCS1800, PCS1900

•Side lobes in output spectrum are prevented bythe Gaussian pre-filtering

•Generates narrow power spectrum•Spectrally efficient modulation technique•BER is slightly worse than MSK. This is a

worthwhile tradeoff since error control coding isavailable

Use line coding to provide particular spectral characteristics of a pulse train• Return-to-zero (RZ): Spectral widening; better timing synchronization• Non-return-to-zero (NRZ): More spectrally efficient; poor synchronization• Manchester codes: Two pulses to represent each binary symbol; suited for signaling (that must

pass through phone and other dc blocking circuits)All of these may be either polar or unipolar

modulating digital signal signal, m(t)– In general, linear modulation schemes do not have a constant envelope.–Bandwidth efficient and hence are very attractive for use in wireless communication

Offset QPSK The occasional phase shift of radians can cause signal envelope to pass

through zero for just an instant•Any kind of hardlimiting or nonlinear amplification of zero-crossings brings back filtered

sidelobes– QPSK signals use pulse shaping use pulse shaping be amplified only using linear amplifiers

which are less efficient– OQPSK ensures power baseband signal transitions applied to RF amplifier, which helps

eliminate spectrum regrowth after amplification (more efficient amplification)

OQPSK is similar to QPSK, except for time alignment of even and odd bit streams

• Even abd odd bit streams, mI(t) andmQ(t), are offset bye one bit period(alf-symbol period)

• Maximum phase shift is limited to 90o (180o for QPSK) envelopevariations are considerably less

• OPSK perform better than QPSK inthe presence of phase jitter due tonoisy reference signals

/4 DQPSK Transmission

Example: Bit stream 0 0 1 0 1 1 is to be sent using /4 DQPSK, o=0o. Determine k, and Ik, Qk

•First two bits: 0 0 1 = -3 /4 1= o + 1 = -3 /4 I1, Q1= (-0.707, -0.707)

•Second two bits: 1 0 2 = -/4 2= 1 + 2 = -I2, Q2 = (-1,0)

•Third two bits: 1 1 3 = /4 2=1 + 2 = -3 /4 I3, Q3 = (-0.707, -0.707)

•BER of /4 DQPSK is 3dB inferior toQPSK, while

– BER/4 CQPSK = BERCQPSK

– In low bit rate, fast Rayleigh fadingchannels, differential detection offersa lower error rate

Constant Envelope Modulation

Nonlinear modulation methods•Amplitude of carrier is constant, regardless of variation in modulating signal,•Used in many practical mobile radio communication•Advantage

–Power efficient Class C amplifier can be used without introducing degradation–Low out-of-band radiation of the order –60dB to –70dB–Limiter-discriminator detection can be used high immunity against random FM

noise fluctuation due to Rayleigh fading

•Occupy a larger bandwidth than linear modulation schemes– Is not well-suited in situations where bandwidth efficiency is more important than power

•Particularly attractive for use in bandlimited channels– M-ary modulation schemes can achieve better bandwidth efficiency at expense of

power efficiency– Example: BW(8-PSK)= 1/3 BW(BPSK), Log28 = 3; BER is significantly worse than

BPSK
