where W is the mcs.,.age bandwidth and fv is the width of the vestigial sideband as
shown in the Fig. 4.13. Since f v << W, the VSB requires bandwidth almost equal to SSB
transmission; however it retains the excellent low frequency baseband characteristics of
double side-band modulation. Therefore, VSB transmission is used where transmission of
low frequency component arc important, but the bandwidth required for double-sideband
transmission is unavailable or uneconomical.

4.10.3 Demodulation of VSB Modulated Wave
The demodulation of VSB modulated wave can be achieved by passing VSB wave s(t)
through a coherent detector and then determining the necessary condition for the detector
output to provide an undistorted version of the original message signal m(t). This is
illustrated in Fig. 4.15. The Fig. 4.15 shows that the signal s(t) is multiplied by the locally
generated sinewave cos(2 n fc t} which is synchronous with the carrier wave
Ac cos(2n fc t) in both frequency and phase. Therefore, we can write,
~ cos(2fct)

The Fig. 4.16 (a) shows the spectrum of V{f). The second term in equation (21)
represents a VSB wave corresponding to carrier frequency 2 fc. This term is removed by
the low pass filter to produce an output v 0 ( t) as shown in Fig. 4.15. The spectrum of
v 0 ( t) is given by
V0(f) = T
A
M(f) (H(f-fc)+H(f+fc)) ... (22)
The Pig. 4.16 {b) shows the spectrum of V0 (f). To reproduce distortionless original
message signal m(t) at the coherent detector output, we required V0 (f) to be a scaled
version of M(f). To fulfill this requirement the transfer function H(f) must satisfy the
condition given below :
where H(fc) is constant. The requirement stated in equation (23) can be satisfied by
using a filter with a frequency response H(f) such as that shown in Fig. 4.16 for position
frequencies.
The Fig. 4.17 shows the normalized response so that H{f) falls to one half at the carrier
frequency fc. The cutoff portion (shaded portion in Fig. 4.17) of this response around (.
exhibits odd symmetry. This means that inside the transition interval defined bv
fc - fv 5. f 5. fc + f.,., the sum of the values of H{f) at any two frequencies equally displaced
above and below f, is unity. Hence A + B = I.
In short, to preserve the baseband spectrum the phase response of sideband filter
should have following properties :
1t must provide odd symmetry about the carrier frequency fc.
It must be linear over the frequency intervals fc - fv 5. IfI 5. fc + fv.
