No, they aren't the same at all, they only appear to be the same before they are examined. The two sidebands will not have the correct phase relationship. What do you mean? What is the "correct" relationship? One could, temporarily, mistake the added combination for a full carrier with independent sidebands, however. (For sines it is sin(a) * sin(b) = 0.5 * (cos[a-b]-cos[a+b]) = 0.5 * (sin[a-b+90degrees] - sin[a+b+90degrees]) = 0.5 * (sin[a-b+90degrees] + sin[a+b-90degrees]) ) -- rb When AM is correctly accomplished (a single voiceband signal is modulated The questions I posed were not about AM. The subject could have been viewed as DSB but that wasn't the specific intent either. You should take some time to more carefully frame your questions. Do you understand that a DSB signal *is* AM? So all the AM broadcasters are wasting money by generating a carrier? Post your intention; it might help. onto a carrier via a non-linear process), at an envelope detector the two sidebands will be additive. But if you independe ntly place a carrier at frequency ( c ), another carrier at ( c-1 khz) and another carrier at (c+ 1 kHz), the composite can look like an AM signal, but it is not, and only by the most extreme luck will the sidebands be additive at the detector. They would probably cycle between additive and subtractive since they have no real relationship and were not the result of amplitude modulation. |
