Modulasi Amplitudo

Amplitude Modulation
In amplitude modulation, the amplitude of a transmission represents the signal. The figure to the right, taken from Signals by John Pierce (an interesting book that is unfortunately out of print), shows how such a signal is created. The carrier wave has a frequency in the kiloHertz range (600 on the AM dial is 600 kHz), so the antenna need only be 125 m long. The initial signal is raised until it is completely positive, then this positive version of the signal is used as the envelope that determines the amplitude of the transmitted wave. The transmitted wave can be broken down into its Fourier components, and that information sent along with the wave to help the decoding process. Since the transmitted wave is non-periodic, a Fourier transform must be used. The collection of amplitudes for the different component frequencies is called a spectrum. This spectrum contains two groups of frequencies, called sidebands. Sometimes one sideband is sent, and sometimes both are sent. The information in the sidebands is in theory redundant to the information in the carrier signal, but the two can be compared to check for losses and interference.
The bandwidth for an AM signal will depend on the bandwidth of the original signal, but it will be larger than this original bandwidth. A typical signal has an original bandwidth of 5 kHz and a transmitted bandwidth of 10 kHz.  This increase in bandwidth might seem like a reason not to modulate, but the advantages of modulation far outweigh this bandwidth increase.  As already mentioned, antennae can be of a reasonable length, and several signals containing information at similar frequencies can be sent without risk of interference.

PHASE MODULATION

A technique used in telecommunications transmission systems whereby the phase of a periodic carrier signal is changed in accordance with the characteristics of an information signal, called the modulating signal. Phase modulation (PM) is a form of angle modulation. For systems in which the modulating signal is digital, the term “phase-shift keying” (PSK) is usually employed. See also Angle modulation.
In typical applications of phase modulation or phase-shift keying, the carrier signal is a pure sine wave of constant amplitude, represented mathematically as Eq. (1),
1. c(t)\, = \,A \,{\rm sin} \,\theta(t)
where the constant A is its amplitude, θ(t) = ωt is its phase, which increases linearly with time, and ω = 2πf and f are constants that represent the carrier signal's radian and linear frequency, respectively.
Phase modulation varies the phase of the carrier signal in direct relation to the modulating signal m(t), resulting in
2. \theta(t)\, = \,\omega t\,+\,km(t)
Eq. (2), where k is a constant of proportionality. The resulting transmitted signal s(t) is therefore given by Eq. (3).
3. s(t)\,=\,A\,{\rm sin}\,[\omega t\,+\,km(t)]
At the receiver, m(t) is reconstructed by measuring the variations in the phase of the received modulated carrier.
Phase modulation is intimately related to frequency modulation (FM) in that changing the phase of c(t) in accordance with m(t) is equivalent to changing the instantaneous frequency of c(t) in accordance with the time derivative of m(t). See also Frequency modulation.
Among the advantages of phase modulation are superior noise and interference rejection, enhanced immunity to signal fading, and reduced susceptibility to nonlinearities in the transmission and receiving systems. See also Distortion (electronic circuits); Electrical interference; Electrical noise.
When the modulating signal m(t) is digital, so that its amplitude assumes a discrete set of values, the phase of the carrier signal is “shifted” by m(t) at the points in time where m(t) changes its amplitude. The amount of the shift in phase is usually determined by the number of different possible amplitudes of m(t). In binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), where m(t) assumes only two amplitudes, the phase of the carrier differs by 180°. An example of a higher-order system is quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), in which four amplitudes of m(t) are represented by four different phases of the carrier signal, usually at 90° intervals. See also Modulation.

modulation (PM) is a form of modulation that represents information as variations in the instantaneous phase of a carrier wave.
Unlike its more popular counterpart, frequency modulation (FM), PM is not very widely used for radio transmissions. This is because it tends to require more complex receiving hardware and there can be ambiguity problems in determining whether, for example, the signal has changed phase by +180° or -180°. PM is used, however, in digital music synthesizers such as the Yamaha DX7, even though these instruments are usually referred to as "FM" synthesizers (both modulation types sound very similar, but PM is usually easier to implement in this area).

Theory


An example of phase modulation. The top diagram shows the modulating signal superimposed on the carrier wave. The bottom diagram shows the resulting phase-modulated signal.
PM changes the phase angle of the complex envelope in direct proportion to the message signal.
Suppose that the signal to be sent (called the modulating or message signal) is m(t) and the carrier onto which the signal is to be modulated is
c(t) = A_c\sin\left(\omega_\mathrm{c}t + 
\phi_\mathrm{c}\right).
Annotated:
carrier(time) = (carrier amplitude)*sin(carrier frequency*time + phase shift)
This makes the modulated signal
y(t) = A_c\sin\left(\omega_\mathrm{c}t + m(t) +
 \phi_\mathrm{c}\right).
This shows how m(t) modulates the phase - the greater m(t) is at a point in time, the greater the phase shift of the modulated signal at that point. It can also be viewed as a change of the frequency of the carrier signal, and phase modulation can thus be considered a special case of FM in which the carrier frequency modulation is given by the time derivative of the phase modulation.
The spectral behaviour of phase modulation is difficult to derive, but the mathematics reveals that there are two regions of particular interest:
2\left(h + 1\right)f_\mathrm{M},
where fM = ωm / 2π and h is the modulation index defined below. This is also known as Carson's Rule for PM.

Modulation index

As with other modulation indices, this quantity indicates by how much the modulated variable varies around its unmodulated level. It relates to the variations in the phase of the carrier signal:
 h\, = \Delta \theta\,,
where Δθ is the peak phase deviation. Compare to the modulation index for frequency modulation.

modulasi

Modulasi adalah proses perubahan (varying) suatu gelombang periodik sehingga menjadikan suatu sinyal mampu membawa suatu informasi. Dengan proses modulasi, suatu informasi (biasanya berfrekeunsi rendah) bisa dimasukkan ke dalam suatu gelombang pembawa, biasanya berupa gelombang sinus berfrekuensi tinggi. Terdapat tiga parameter kunci pada suatu gelombang sinusiuodal yaitu : amplitudo, fase dan frekuensi. Ketiga parameter tersebut dapat dimodifikasi sesuai dengan sinyal informasi (berfrekuensi rendah) untuk membentuk sinyal yang termodulasi.
Peralatan untuk melaksanakan proses modulasi disebut modulator, sedangkan peralatan untuk memperoleh informasi informasi awal (kebalikan dari dari proses modulasi) disebut demodulator dan peralatan yang melaksanakan kedua proses tersebut disebut modem.
Informasi yang dikirim bisa berupa data analog maupun digital sehingga terdapat dua jenis modulasi yaitu
  • modulasi analaog
  • modulasi digital

Modulasi Analog

Dalam modulasi analog, proses modulasi merupakan respon atas informasi sinyal analog.
Teknik umum yang dipakai dalam modulasi analog :
  • Modulasi berdasarkan sudut
    • Modulasi Fase (Phase Modulation - PM)
    • Modulasi Frekuensi (Frequency Modulatio - FM)
  • Modulasi Amplitudo (Amplitudo Modulation - AM)
    • Double-sideband modulation with unsuppressed carrier (used on the radio AM band)
    • Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission (DSB-SC)
    • Double-sideband reduced carrier transmission (DSB-RC)
    • Single-sideband modulation (SSB, or SSB-AM), very similar to single-sideband suppressed carrier modulation (SSB-SC)
    • Vestigial-sideband modulation (VSB, or VSB-AM)
    • Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)

Modulasi Digital

Dalam modulasi digital, suatu sinyal analog di-modulasi berdasarkan aliran data digital.
Perubahan sinyal pembawa dipilih dari jumlah terbatas simbol alternatif. Teknik yang umum dipakai adalah :
  • Phase Shift Keying (PSK), digunakan suatu jumlah terbatas berdasarkan fase.
  • Frekeunsi Shift Keying (FSK), digunakan suatu jumlah terbatas berdasarkan frekuensi.
  • Amplitudo Shift Keying (ASK), digunakan suatu jumlah terbatas amplitudo.
