AM Modulators and Transmitters Overview

Linear integrated-circuit AM modulators provide frequency stability, symmetrical modulation, and circuit miniaturization. The XR-2206 function generator is ideal for amplitude modulation, while low-level and high-level transmitters serve different power needs. Quadrature amplitude modulation allows two information sources to modulate the same carrier frequency simultaneously, and is used in analog television broadcasting.

Linear integrated-circuit AM modulators
also offer excellent frequency stability,
symmetrical modulation characteristics,
circuit miniaturization, fewer components,
temperature immu-nity, and simplicity of
design and troubleshooting.
The XR-2206 monolithic function generator is
ideally suited for performing ampli-tude

TRAPEZOIDAL
PATTERNS
Trapezoidal patterns are used
for observing the modulation
characteristics of AM
transmitters. Although the
modulation characteristics can
be examined with an
oscilloscope, a trapezoidal
pattern is more easily and
accurately interpreted.
CARRIER SHIFT
-Carrier shift is a term that is often misunderstood or
misinterpreted. Carrier shift is sometimes called upward
or downward modulation and has absolutely nothing to
do with the frequency of the carrier.

-Carrier shift may be either positive or negative. If the


positive alter-nation of the modulated signal has a larger
amplitude than the negative alternation, positive carrier
shift results. If the negative alternation is larger than the
positive, negative carrier shift occurs.
QUADRATURE
AMPLITUDE
MODULATION
Quadrature amplitude modulation is a form of amplitude
modulation where signals from two separate information
sources (i.e., two channels) modulate the same carrier
frequency at the same time without interfering with each
other. The information sources modulate the same carrier
after it has been separated into two carrier signals that are
90° out of phase with each other. This scheme is sometimes
called quadrature AM (QUAM or QAM).
QAM is sometimes called phase-division multiplexing and
was one of the modulation techniques considered for stereo
broadcasting of AM signals. For now, quadrature AM is the
modulation scheme used for encoding color signals in
analog television broadcasting systems.
