In Amplitude Modulation (AM), specifically in the case of Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSB-SC) or Full Carrier (DSB-FC) AM, the required bandwidth is twice the bandwidth of the modulating signal. If the modulating signal has a bandwidth of B Hz, the bandwidth required for AM would be 2B Hz. This is because both the upper and lower sidebands of the carrier wave are utilized in the modulation process, each consuming bandwidth equivalent to the original signal.

When you do modulation in time domain you get modulated waveform of modulating signal information and carrier. How can you recognize the upper and lower side bands in time domain modulated waveform?

You need modulation signal(carrier) which is a required signal in order to make envelope of time domained signal(target signal). The modulating signal is imposed on modulation signal.This creates envelope of waveform which is modulated(desired) signal. Now, the desired signals uper and lower sideband of signal strictly depends on modulation signal's bandwidth. Max. peak of that signal is uper sideband and min. peak is lower sideband for this modulated signal.


What is bandwidth required for AM signal?

With full double sideband AM the bandwidth of the modulated signal is twice that of the baseband information signal. With suppressed carrier single sideband AM the bandwidth of the modulated signal is identical to that of the baseband information signal. With vestigial sideband AM the bandwidth of the modulated signal is somewhere between the above two cases, depending on how much of the vestigial sideband is included.


Why the entire frequency range of 20hz-20khz is not used in telephony?

Because it is not necessary, and providing that bandwidth would increase cost and complexity. While the full range of 20Hz-20KHz is required for proper rendering of music, telephony, by standard, only requires a 3.5KHz bandwidth. You can hear and understand the spoken voice with only this range. You do not need the extended musical range.


What is disadvantage in amplitude modulation with carrier?

The differeces between frequency and amplitude modulation does not effect the range. Fundamentally the amplitude modulation system is less efficient in that a carrier is generated, which is modulated. The modulation power is half of the carrier power. The bandwidth required is twice the highest modulating fequency. Because of the small bandwidth required, the Amplitude Modulated band on radios is from 550 Khz to 1500 Khz. Channels are separated by 10 Khz, with actual users usually separated by 2 or three channels minimum. Frequency modulation varys the frequency of the carrier by the audio modulating component. While the frequency deviation can be as low as the audio frequency modulating the carrier, better noise performance is achieved by deviating the carrier by as much as possible. In commercial broadcast operations, the 15 Khz audio signal deviated the carrier by 75 Khz. This presents exceptionally good audio reproduction. It also causes the FM (Frequency Modulated) signal to occupy a band of about 240 Khz for a 15 Khz audio channel. This compares to 30 Khz for an equivalent AM (Amplitude modulated) signal. Because of the larger bandwidth required, the FM broadcast band is moved higher in frequency. This makes the other comments about range etc come into effect. AM signals can be received even when an interfering signal is present. Weak signals can be received in the presence of strong signals. Because of this property, Aviation signals, (Airplane to control tower and tower to plane) are in AM. FM signals have an effect called "capture effect" in which a stronger signal will capture the channel and eliminate interference from the weaker signal. Basically you are trading bandwidth for interference rejection. Because of this, signals from satellites, where the signal strength is extremenly small, used to be sent in FM. Present technology uses digital broadcast techniques. Talking about digital, because of the ability of digital receivers to process signals of extremely small size, digital signals are being sent along with both AM and FM broadcast signals for either better quality, or supplementary services. Cell phones are all being switched over to digital technology for better reliability and better channel usage.


What is the relation between carrier frequency and modulating signal?

If the modulating system is AM (Amplitude Modulation) then the amplitude of the carrier wave changes with the amplitude of the modulation. On a specrum analyser that shows up as frequency sidebands. If the frequency of the carrier waves depends on the amplitude of the modulating signal that is called FM (frequency modulation). On a spectrum analyser that shows up as sidebands also.

Advantages of large bandwidth?

A very usefull advantage is the exchange of SNR(signal to noise ratio) with Bandwidth... as on increasing the bandwidth the power required for transmission get reduced to a great extent.. is given by the formula SNR2 ~ (SNR1) B1/B2 AS we can see on increasing the bandwidth the SNR is reduced greatly


How much minimum bandwidth is required for multiplexed channel?

The minimum bandwidth required for a multiplexed channel depends on the number of channels being multiplexed and the bandwidth of each individual channel. In general, the total minimum bandwidth needed is the sum of the bandwidths of all the channels being combined. For example, if you are multiplexing four channels, each requiring 1 MHz, a minimum bandwidth of 4 MHz would be necessary. Additionally, some multiplexing techniques may require guard bands to prevent interference, which would increase the total bandwidth requirement.
