6.1 Introduction

◊ To undertake an analysis of noise in continuous-wave


(CM) modulation systems, we need a receiver model.

◊ The customary practice is to model the receiver noise


(channel noise) as additive, white, and Gaussian. These
simplifying assumptions enable us to obtain a basic
understanding of the way in which noise affects the
performance

◊ Assume the band-pass filter is ideal, having a bandwidth equal to the
transmission bandwidth BT of the modulated signal s(t) , and a mid

band frequency equal to the carrier frequency fc , fc >> BT .

6.2 Receiver Model

Idealized characteristic of band-pass filtered noise.


◊ The filtered noise n(t) may be treated as a narrow band noise
represented in the canonical form:
n ( t ) = nI ( t ) cos ( 2πf c t ) − nQ ( t ) sin ( 2πf c t ) ( 6.1)
where nI((t)) is the in-phase
p noise component
p and nQ((t)) is the
quadrature noise component, both measured with respect to the
carrier wave Accos(2πfct). 7 Yu-sing Lin (林育星)
6.2 Receiver Model

◊ The filtered signal x(t) available for demodulation is defined by


x (t ) = s (t ) + n (t ) ( 6.2 )
◊ The average noise power at the demodulator input is equal to the
total area under the curve of the power spectral density SN( f ):
N0
Pavg-noise = 2 × BT × = BT N 0

◊ Input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)I is defined as:
average power of the modulated signal s ( t )
( SNR ) I =
average power of the filtered noise n ( t )
◊ Output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)O is defined as:
average power of the demodulated message signal
( SNR )O =
average power of the noise measured at the receiver output

◊ Figure of merit
◊ For the purpose of comparing different continuous-wave (CW) modulation
systems, we normalize the receiver performance by dividing the output

signal to noise ratio by the channel signal
signal-to-noise
to noise ratio.
◊ The higher the value of the figure of merit, the better will the noise
performance of the receiver be.
◊ The figure of merit may equal one, be less than one, or be greater than one,

◊ The figure
g of merit of a DSB-SC receiver or that of an SSB
receiver using coherent detection is always unity.
◊ The corresponding figure of merit of an AM receiver using
envelope detection is always less than unity.
◊ In other words,, the noise pperformance of an AM receiver is
always inferior to that a DSB-SC receiver. This is due to the
wastage of transmitter power, which results from transmitting the
carrier

power spectral density N0/2./2
◊ The received FM signal s(t) has a carrier frequency fc and transmission
