RU Electronics has been contracted to design a Doppler radar system.
Radar transmitters emit a signal that bounces off any conducting object.Signal differences between what is sent and the radar return is processed and features of interest extracted.
In
Doppler systems, the object's speed along the direction of the radar beam is the feature the design must extract.
The transmitted signal is a sinsusoid:
.
The measured return signal equals
, where the Doppler offset frequency
equals
, where
is the car's velocity coming toward the transmitter.
Design a system that uses the transmitted and return signals as inputs and produces
.
One problem with designs based on overly simplistic design goals is that they are sensitive to unmodeled assumptions.
How would you change your design, if at all, so that whether the car is going away or toward the transmitter could be determined?
Suppose two objects traveling different speeds provide returns.
How would you change your design, if at all, to accomodate multiple returns?
Demodulating an am signal
Let
denote the signal that has been amplitude modulated.
Radio stations try to restrict the amplitude of thesignal
so that it is less than one in magnitude. The frequency
is very large compared to the frequency content of the
signal. What we are concerned about here is nottransmission, but reception.
The so-called coherent demodulator simply multiplies
the signal
by a sinusoid having the same frequency as thecarrier and lowpass filters the result. Analyze
this receiver and show that it works. Assume thelowpass filter is ideal.
One issue in coherent reception is the phase of the
sinusoid used by the receiver relative to that usedby the transmitter. Assuming that the sinusoid of
the receiver has a phase
, how does the
output depend on
? What is the
worst possible value for this phase?
The incoherent receiver is more commonly used
because of the phase sensitivity problem inherent incoherent reception. Here, the receiver full-wave
rectifies the received signal and lowpass filtersthe result (again ideally). Analyze this receiver.
Does its output differ from that of the coherentreceiver in a significant way?
Unusual amplitude modulation
We want to send a band-limited signal having the
depicted spectrum with amplitude modulation in the usual way.
I.B. Different suggests using the square-wave carrier shown
below .
Well, it is different, but his friends wonder if any technique can demodulate it.
Find an expression for
, the Fourier transform of the modulated signal.
Sketch the magnitude of

What demodulation technique obviously works?
I.B. challenges three of his friends to demodulate
some other way.
One friend suggests modulating
with
, another wants to try modulating with
and the third thinks
will work.
Sketch the magnitude of the Fourier transform of the signal each student's approach produces.Which student comes closest to recovering the original signal?

Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems
