Question

How are side bands produced?

Open in App

Solution

Sides bands are produced during amplitude modulation. A modulating signal of frequency $ω_{m}$ is superposition on the carrier wave of frequency $ω_{C}$ . The resultant is passed through a square law device and band pass filter which generates side bands from $ω_{C} - ω_{m}$ to $ω_{C} + ω_{m}$ . This modulated wave carries the information.
