  Modulation
Modulation describes a range of techniques for encoding information on a carrier signal, typically a sine-wave signal.
A device that performs modulation is known as a modulator.
Modulation is frequently used in conjunction with various channel access methods.

 Concatenated coded vestigial sideband modulation for high definition television - United States Patent 5,398,073
A modulation scheme for HDTV, for example, uses a concatenated code comprised of a Reed-Solomon coder followed by an N-dimensional trellis coder whose N-dimensional output symbols with N>1, are used to modulate a one-dimensional vestigial sideband modulator.
The VSB modulator uses an eight-symbol, one-dimensional constellation, so that for each successive transmission symbol period, the concatenated coder, responsive to the source-coded HDTV signal bit stream, identifies to the modulator a particular one of the eight one-dimensional VSB symbols to be transmitted.
The VSB signal generated by modulator 15 are applied to a television channel, such as an over-the-air channel or a cable, and are received by the receiver of FIG.

 Amplitude modulation Summary
Amplitude modulation (AM) is a form of modulation in which the amplitude of a carrier wave is varied in direct proportion to that of a modulating signal.
Each sideband is equal in bandwidth to that of the modulating signal and is a mirror image of the other.
An approach which marries the advantages of low-level modulation with the efficiency of a Class C power amplifier chain is to arrange a feedback system to compensate for the substantial distortion of the AM envelope.

 Modulation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Modulation is the process where a Radio Frequency or Light Wave's amplitude, frequency, or phase is changed in order to transmit intelligence.
Vestigial Sideband modulation is a lot like Single Sideband, except that the carrier frequency is preserved and one of the sidebands is eliminated through filtering.
In Pulse Amplitude Modulation, a pulse is generated with an amplitude corresponding to that of the modulating waveform.

 Single-sideband modulation
Single-sideband modulation (SSB) is a refinement of the technique of amplitude modulation designed to be more efficient in its use of power and bandwidth.
Amplitude modulation typically produces a modulated output signal that has twice the bandwidth of the modulating signal, with a significant power component at the original carrier frequency.
This will have two frequency-shifted copies of the modulated signal (the lower one is frequency-inverted) on either side of the remaining carrier signal.

 Principles of Modulation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Modulation is the process needed to make a radio frequency wave carry a signal that conveys some sort of information (or intelligence).
Various forms of amplitude modulation are used: double sideband full carrier (or conventional AM, used by broadcasters); single sideband (or SSB, used by radio amateurs, utility users and some broadcasters; vestigial sideband (wideband TV and some digital signals, seldom seen on Shortwave).
Digital signals use frequency modulation in distinct steps (often two) so that a stream of digital symbols is transmitted; this is known as frequency shift keying (FSK) and is used by radio amateurs and utilities.

 Device and method for digital vestigial sideband modulation - Patent 5801595
VSB modulation is proposed by the Grand Alliance for the American standard for future broadcast of DTV.
As will be developed in the discussion of preferred embodiments, the device and method of vestigial sideband modulation herein may include the provision of an input digital signal (not limited to a DTV signal) at a rate 1/T to a multiplier which downconverts the input signal by multiplying it by e.sup.-j(2.pi./4T)t.
The factor e.sup.j(2.pi./4T)t accounts for the shaping filter's offset from the carrier by one-fourth the symbol rate of the modulator, and the factor e.sup.j.omega..sbsp.0.sup.t represents the translation of the baseband spectrum to the vestigial sideband carrier frequency.omega..sub.0, which is also the pilot frequency.

 Digital, frequency-translated, plural-channel, vestigial sideband television communication system - United States ...
Television communication systems presently employ vestigial sideband (hereinafter referred to as VSB), or asymmetric-sideband, modulation wherein a portion of one sideband (usually the lower sideband) is largely suppressed.
At a headend terminal 10, radio frequency signals from a remote RF transmitter carrying the VSB television signals are received for transmission by the headend terminal 10 to a distribution terminal 13, geographically separated from the headend terminal 10.
LED 29 is thereby modulated in accordance with the multiplexed digital representations of the baseband-shifted VSB channels and its optical output is applied to optical fiber 31 by way of an apropriate optical fiber coupler fixture, shown by broken lines 30.

In positive modulation, the maximum luminance value is represented by the maximum electrical signal; in negative modulation, the maximum luminance value is represented by a zero electrical signal.
All analogue television systems use vestigial sideband modulation, a form of amplitude modulation in which the lower sideband is incompletely suppressed.
At the time television was developed, the vestigial sideband was easier to accomplish than true single-sideband modulation; with today's technology, there is no reason for it except to be compatible with existing technology.

 vestigial sideband - a definition from Whatis.com
Vestigial sideband (VSB) is a type of amplitude modulation (AM) technique (sometimes called VSB-AM) that encodes data by varying the amplitude of a single carrier frequency.
Portions of one of the redundant sidebands are removed to form a vestigial sideband signal - so-called because a vestige of the sideband remains.
Instead, the modulating data appears in the form of signal components at frequencies slightly higher and lower than that of the carrier.

 Modulators
A module is a self-contained component of a system, which has a well-defined interface to the other components; something is modular if it is constructed so as to facilitate easy assembly, flexible arrangement, and/or repair of the components.
One of the three key characteristics of a signal are usually modulated: its phase, frequency or amplitude.
A device that performs modulation is known as a modulator and a device that performs demodulation is known as a demodulator.

 Zenith: HDTV
A low-level pilot is employed for carrier acquisition, a data segment sync for synchronizing the data clock in both frequency and phase, and a data frame sync for data framing and equalizer training.
After modulation, the DC value causes an in-phase pilot to be added to the data spectrum for transmission.
Also, since VSB modulation is used, only one real equalizer filter is required running at the full data rate; not two complex (four cross-coupled) filters as with QAM systems.

 Easy Fourier Analysis
In single sideband modulation, we filter out the lower or the upper band to separate out these signals as if they were two independent signals.
Modulation index larger that 100% distorts the signal so an envelope detector can not be used to demodulate it any longer.
Use of SSB modulation would cut this in half but SSB is not used for video signals because of the complexity of the SSB receivers.

Carrierless Amplitude Phase Modulation (CAP) is a variant of QAM; this modulation scheme is only in use for ADSL, since it offers significantly inferior performance, albeit at a reduced cost, over DMT.
AM (Amplitude Modulation) is essentially a mixing process where the audio "modulating" signal is mixed with the radio frequency "carrier".
The resulting signal actually consists of three distinct components: the carrier, the upper sideband (carrier frequency plus the audio modulating frequency) and the lower sideband (carrier frequency minus the audio modulating frequency).

As originally developed for the electric telephone, amplitude modulation was used to add audio information to the low-powered direct current flowing from a telephone transmitter to a receiver.
As a simplified explanation, at the transmitting end, a telephone microphone was used to vary the strength of the transmitted current, according to the frequency and loudness of the sounds received.
In contrast to the telephone, in radio communication what is modulated is a continuous wave radio signal (carrier wave) produced by a radio transmitter.

Vestigial Sideband (VSB) systems offer increased spectral efficiency by filtering the transmitted (or received) spectrum so that one sideband of the modulated optical carrier dominates over the other.
However, there are many trade-offs in the design of the optical filters that impact heavily on the benefits of VSB modulation.
Recent work has shown that near-optimum filters can be designed using careful considerations of the nonlinear nature of optical modulation.
