Question:
Due to economic reasons, only the upper sideband of an AM wave is transmitted, but at the receiving station, there is a facility for generating the carrier. Show that if a device is available which can multiply two signals, then it is possible to recover the modulating signal at the receiver station.
Solution:
Let ωc and ωs be the respective frequencies of the carrier and signal waves.
Signal received at the receiving station, V = V1 cos (ωc + ωs)t
Instantaneous voltage of the carrier wave, Vin = Vc cos ωct
