1) The document introduces concepts related to high frequency electronic circuits and communication systems, including dB definitions, phasors, modulation, linear modulation and transmitters.
2) It discusses phasor representation in the complex plane and how phasors can represent sinusoidal signals.
3) It covers various modulation techniques including amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, phase modulation, and linear modulation. Linear modulation uses an in-phase (I) component and quadrature (Q) component to modulate the carrier signal.

Go along the circle, the projection
on x-axis results in a cosine wave.
Sinusoidal waves relate to a Circle
very closely.
Complete going along the circle to
finish a cycle, and the angle θ
rotates with 2π rads and you are
back to the original starting-point
and. Complete another cycle again,
sinusoidal waveform in one period
repeats again. Keep going along the
circle, the waveform will
periodically appear.

It seems to be the same thing with x-y plan, right?
• Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) defined the complex plan.
He defined the unit length on Im-axis is equal to “j”.
A complex Z = x + jy can be denoted as (x, yj) on the complex plan.
(sometimes, ‘j’may be written as ‘i’which represent imaginary)

• At a given real frequency kf1, (k>0), that spectral representation

The first term is thought of as the “positive frequency” contribution, whereas the second is the
corresponding “negative frequency” contribution. Although either one of the two terms is a
complex quantity, they add together in such a manner as to create a real function, and this
is why both terms are required to make the mathematical form complete.

40. 本章總結
• In this chapter, the phasor was introduced to manifest itself in
the mathematical operation for communication engineering.
• A modulated signal is a linear combination of I(t), Q(t), and
the carrier. This mathematical combination can be realized
with a practical circuitry, say, “modulator.”
• The demodulation is the decomposition of the modulated
signal, which is the reverse process to recover the baseband
signal I(t) and Q(t).
• The modulated signal can be viewed as a complex envelope
carried by a sinusoidal carrier. With this equivalent lowpass
form to represent a bandpass system, the mathematical
analysis can be easily simplified.
