Sideband Analysis with Lock-in Amplifiers

27.02.2014

When a sinusoidal waveform is periodically modulated in either amplitude or frequency, sidebands are generated as a result of this carrier modulation. These sidebands can be measured using a lock-in amplifier. Zurich Instruments' lock-in amplifiers (such as the HF2LI and the UHFLI) can measure up to 8 frequencies simultaneously and...

Double-Sideband Suppressed-Carrier Modulation

28.08.2013

Double-sideband suppressed-carrier (DSB-SC) modulation is an amplitude modulation that consists only of the two symmetrical sidebands and no carrier band. I came across this scheme in an ultrasound application, where power utilization can be maximized when all power is available on the sidebands. It turns out that DSB-SC modulation can...
