How to Demodulate Multi-frequency Signals such as AM, FM and PM

20.03.2018

Introduction When analyzing signals with multiple frequency components, it is important to measure the amplitude and phase of each frequency component accurately so that a change in the characteristics of one component does not affect the measurement of another frequency component. There are two different approaches to multi-frequency signal demodulation...

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...
