Experiment on Double Sideband Suppressed

Carrier (DSB-SC) Modulation and Demodulation using MATLAB

Simulator

In this experiment the students will be able to:

 Understand about working principle of a DSB-SC Modulation and
Demodulation
 Analyze the output waveforms of DSB-SC Modulation

and Demodulation MATLAB 2020a

DSB-SC is an amplitude modulated wave transmission scheme in

which only sidebands are transmitted and the carrier is not transmitted as
it gets suppressed. DSB-SC is an acronym for Double Sideband Suppressed
Carrier. The carrier does not contain any information and its transmission
results in loss of power. Thus, only sidebands are transmitted that
contains information. This results in saving of power used in transmission.

This saved power can be inserted into the 2 sidebands. Hence,

ensuring a stronger signal that transmits over long distances. As
during suppression, the baseband signal does not get affected in
any way. As we know that transmission power and bandwidth are
the two important parameters in a communication system. Thus, in
order to save power and bandwidth, DSB-SC modulation technique
is adopted.
