BANDPASS SIGNALING<br />

PRINCIPLES AND CIRCUITS<br />

CHAPTER OBJECTIVES<br />

• Complex envelopes and modulated signals<br />

• Spectra of bandpass signals<br />

• Nonlinear distortion<br />

• Communication circuits (mixers, phase-locked loops, frequency<br />

synthesizers, and detectors)<br />

• Transmitters and receivers<br />

• Software radios<br />

This chapter is concerned with bandpass signaling techniques. As indicated in Chapter 1, the<br />

bandpass communication signal is obtained by modulating a baseband analog or digital signal<br />

onto a carrier. This is an exciting chapter because the basic principles of bandpass signaling are<br />

revealed. The complex envelope is used, since it can represent any type of bandpass signal. This<br />

is the basis for understanding digital and analog communication systems that are described in<br />

more detail in Chapters 5 and 8. This chapter also describes practical aspects of the building<br />

blocks used in communication systems. These building blocks are filters, linear and nonlinear<br />

amplifiers, mixers, up and down converters, modulators, detectors, and phase-locked loops. The<br />

chapter concludes with descriptions of transmitters, receivers, and software radios.<br />

4–1 COMPLEX ENVELOPE REPRESENTATION OF BANDPASS WAVEFORMS<br />

What is a general representation for bandpass digital and analog signals? How do we represent<br />

a modulated signal? How do we represent bandpass noise? These are some of the questions<br />

that are answered in this section.<br />
