This document explores the concepts of coherent and non-coherent decoding within communication systems, focusing on the modulation processes of AM waves and various decoder types. It examines key techniques such as phase-locked loops (PLL), voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO), and their roles in demodulating signals. The paper also discusses the implications of errors in frequency and phase for performance, along with applications in signal recovery and Clock generation. Basic principles of spread spectrum and the functioning of single-sideband modulation are also covered.

+ vc(t) - AM signal R C AM Noncoherent Decoder Coherent detection: Receiver can recover the frequency and phase of the transmitter by PLL. Error of timing causes the performance error floor • Rectifier Detector: synchronous • Envelope Detector: asynchronous Non-coherent receiver has 3dB worst performance than coherent. Cheaper for Non-coherent receiver, Nextel.
Carrier Recover Error • DSB: e(t)=2m(t)cos(wct)cos((wc+ w)t+) e(t)=m(t) cos((w)t+) • Phase error: if fixed, attenuation. If not, shortwave radio • Frequency error: catastrophic beating effect • SSB, only frequency changes, f<30Hz. • Donald Duck Effect • Crystal oscillator, atoms oscillator, GPS, … • Pilot: a signal, usually a single frequency, transmitted over a communications system for supervisory, control, equalization, continuity, synchronization, or reference purposes.
Phase-Locked Loop • Can be a whole course. The most important part of receiver. • Definition: a closed-loop feedback control system that generates and outputs a signal in relation to the frequency and phase of an input ("reference") signal • A phase-locked loop circuit responds both to the frequency and phase of the input signals, automatically raising or lowering the frequency of a controlled oscillator until it is matched to the reference in both frequency and phase.
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) • W(t)=wc+ce0(t), where wc is the free-running frequency • Example
Ideal Model • Model • Si=Acos(wct+1(t)), Sv=Avcos(wct+c(t)) • Sp=0.5AAv[sin(2wct+1+c)+sin(1-c)] • So=0.5AAvsin(1-c)=AAv(1-c) • Capture Range and Lock Range LPF VCO
