Line spectrum of a given modulated signal
Short answer
The signal combines to three frequencies: 10 kHz with amplitude 1 and phase 100°, 20 kHz with amplitude 20 and phase 80°, and 1 MHz with amplitude 58.95 and phase 72.73°. These form a one-sided line spectrum.
For the given modulated signal draw line spectrums. s(t) = 50cos(2π10⁶t + 60°) − 15cos(2π10⁶t − 60°) + 20sin(4π10⁴t − 190°) + sin(2π10⁴t + 190°).
Given:
To draw line spectra, write every term as a cosine with positive amplitude, and combine terms of the same frequency.
Step 1: 1 MHz terms (phasor addition)
So .
Step 2: 20 kHz term ()
Using :
Step 3: 10 kHz term
Result
| Amplitude (one-sided) | Phase | |
|---|---|---|
| 10 kHz | 1 | |
| 20 kHz | 20 | |
| 1 MHz | 58.95 |
For the two-sided spectrum, each line splits into two of half amplitude at (0.5, 10, 29.47) with phase at and at .
