<p>
As previously emphasized, our objective is to learn how to send a signal [mathjaxinline]f(t)[/mathjaxinline] in a non-distorted way, through a dispersive medium. </p><p>
One way is through <i class="itshape">amplitude modulation</i>, or AM for short. Instead of sending any kind of signal, the specific form [mathjaxinline]f(t)=f_{s}(t)\cos (\omega _{0}t)[/mathjaxinline] is sent, where [mathjaxinline]\cos (\omega _{0}t)[/mathjaxinline] modulates the signal [mathjaxinline]f_{s}(t)[/mathjaxinline] at a very high frequency. Note, we are now defining [mathjaxinline]f_{s}(t)[/mathjaxinline] as the signal that contains "information," but [mathjaxinline]f(t)[/mathjaxinline] is the signal that is sent through the medium. </p><p>
We will show that this AM "trick" will yield a traveling wave composed of frequency components within a very narrow frequency window. Within this very narrow frequency window, the dispersion of any medium is approximately linear, and we will show why this is important for preserving the signal [mathjaxinline]f_{s}(t)[/mathjaxinline] as it travels. </p>

<p><h2>REVIEW OF OBJECTIVE</h2></p><p>
Recall, our objective has been to show that an AM signal enables us to send information in a non-distorted way, through a dispersive medium. </p><p>
If the information that we want to send is represented by the signal [mathjaxinline]f_{s}(t)[/mathjaxinline], then we can successfully transmit this information if the traveling waveform [mathjaxinline]\psi (x,t)[/mathjaxinline] can be expressed in terms of the original signal traveling at a constant velocity—therefore, the signal should not disperse. </p><p>
We HOPE that the traveling wave has the following functional form (in complex notation): </p><table id="a0000000002" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]\psi (x,t)=f_{s}(t-x/v_{g})e^{i(k_{0}x-\omega _{0}t)}[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>
where the carrier [mathjaxinline]e^{i(k_{0}x-\omega _{0}t)}[/mathjaxinline] may have a different velocity than the traveling signal [mathjaxinline]f_{s}(t-x/v_{g})[/mathjaxinline]. </p><p>
Ultimately, we showed that [mathjaxinline]\psi (x,t)[/mathjaxinline] yields this result if the transmitting signal has the following form (in complex notation): </p><table id="a0000000003" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]f(t)=f_{s}(t)e^{i\omega _{0} t}[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>
To produce this result, we also had to assume that the dispersion of the medium was approximately linear in the relevant frequency range. </p><p><h2>ALTERNATE DERIVATION</h2></p><p>
The derivation carried out in the lesson may seem a little backwards. We started with the solution, i.e., [mathjaxinline]f(t)=f_{s}(t)e^{i\omega _{0} t}[/mathjaxinline], and showed that this yields the expected traveling waveform [mathjaxinline]\psi (x,t)=f_{s}(t-x/v_{g})e^{i(k_{0}x-\omega _{0}t)}[/mathjaxinline]. </p><p>
It's worthwhile to work the other way around, without stating the form of [mathjaxinline]f(t)[/mathjaxinline], and see where our assumptions lead. <i class="itshape">The assumption that we will make is that the dispersion is approximately linear over the relevant frequency range.</i> Note, this is more of a requirement rather than an assumption, and our result will tell us what type of signal satisfies this condition. </p><p>
So, let's consider a traveling waveform [mathjaxinline]\psi (x,t)[/mathjaxinline] that is produced by the time-varying signal [mathjaxinline]f(t)[/mathjaxinline]: </p><table id="a0000000004" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]\psi (x,t)=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty } d\omega \, c(\omega ) e^{-i(\omega t - k(\omega )x)}[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>
where [mathjaxinline]k(\omega )[/mathjaxinline] is frequency dependent wavenumber, which is responsible for dispersion. Now, let's assume that the dispersion is linear around some wavenumber [mathjaxinline]k_{0}[/mathjaxinline], such that </p><table id="a0000000005" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]\omega (k) \approx \omega _{0} + (k-k_{0})v_{g}[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>
Then, we can express [mathjaxinline]k(\omega )[/mathjaxinline] as </p><table id="a0000000006" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]k(\omega )=\frac{\omega - \omega _{0}}{v_{g}} + k_{0}[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>
Note, this is equivalent to the requirement that the frequency range of the signal is very narrow, centered around the very high frequency [mathjaxinline]\omega _{0}=k_{0}v_{p}[/mathjaxinline], as discussed in the videos. </p><p>
With this requirement, the waveform is </p><table id="a0000000007" cellpadding="7" width="100%" cellspacing="0" class="eqnarray" style="table-layout:auto"><tr id="a0000000008"><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="vertical-align:middle; text-align:right; border:none">

</td><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="width:20%; border:none" class="eqnnum"> </td></tr></table><p>
Now, we can shift the integral with [mathjaxinline]\omega \rightarrow \omega + \omega _{0}[/mathjaxinline], then </p><table id="a0000000010" cellpadding="7" width="100%" cellspacing="0" class="eqnarray" style="table-layout:auto"><tr id="a0000000011"><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="vertical-align:middle; text-align:right; border:none">

</td><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="width:20%; border:none" class="eqnnum"> </td></tr><tr id="a0000000012"><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="vertical-align:middle; text-align:right; border:none">

</td><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="width:20%; border:none" class="eqnnum"> </td></tr></table><p>
So, we can identify the following term as a traveling wave: </p><table id="a0000000013" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]\int _{-\infty }^{\infty } d\omega \, c(\omega + \omega _{0}) e^{-i\omega \left(t-\frac{x}{v_{g}}\right)} \equiv f(t-\frac{x}{v_{g}})[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>
where [mathjaxinline]f(t)[/mathjaxinline] is defined as </p><table id="a0000000014" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]f(t)=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty } d\omega \, c(\omega + \omega _{0}) e^{-i\omega t}[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>
We're almost there! We want to know what [mathjaxinline]f(t)[/mathjaxinline] is in terms of the signal that we are producing, which is: </p><table id="a0000000015" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]f_{s}(t)=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty } d\omega \, c(\omega ) e^{-i\omega t}[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>
We can shift the frequency again to further simplify, letting [mathjaxinline]\omega \rightarrow \omega - \omega _{0}[/mathjaxinline]: </p><table id="a0000000016" cellpadding="7" width="100%" cellspacing="0" class="eqnarray" style="table-layout:auto"><tr id="a0000000017"><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="vertical-align:middle; text-align:right; border:none">
[mathjaxinline]\displaystyle f(t)[/mathjaxinline]
</td><td style="vertical-align:middle; text-align:left; border:none">
[mathjaxinline]\displaystyle =\int _{-\infty }^{\infty } d\omega \, c(\omega ) e^{-i(\omega - \omega _{0}) t}[/mathjaxinline]
</td><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="width:20%; border:none" class="eqnnum"> </td></tr><tr id="a0000000018"><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="vertical-align:middle; text-align:right; border:none">
</td><td style="vertical-align:middle; text-align:left; border:none">
[mathjaxinline]\displaystyle = e^{i \omega _{0} t} \int _{-\infty }^{\infty } d\omega \, c(\omega ) e^{-i\omega t}[/mathjaxinline]
</td><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="width:20%; border:none" class="eqnnum"> </td></tr><tr id="a0000000019"><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="vertical-align:middle; text-align:right; border:none">
</td><td style="vertical-align:middle; text-align:left; border:none">
[mathjaxinline]\displaystyle = f_{s}(t)e^{i \omega _{0} t}[/mathjaxinline]
</td><td style="width:40%; border:none"> </td><td style="width:20%; border:none" class="eqnnum"> </td></tr></table><p>
SO THERE IT IS! If we want to send a signal that produces our desired traveling waveform [mathjaxinline]\psi (x,t)=f_{s}(t-x/v_{g})e^{i(k_{0}x-\omega _{0}t)}[/mathjaxinline], the signal that we send should have the form [mathjaxinline]f(t)=f_{s}(t)e^{i \omega _{0} t}[/mathjaxinline]. </p><p>
The equivalence is valid only in a narrow frequency window, which enabled us to approximate the linear dispersion. The frequency window will be narrow if the carrier frequency [mathjaxinline]\omega _{0}[/mathjaxinline] is much higher than the characteristic frequency of the modulating signal [mathjaxinline]f_{s}(t)[/mathjaxinline]. </p>

We have shown that a signal of the form: </p>
<table id="a0000000002" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto">
<tr>
<td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]f(t)=f_{s}(t)e^{i\omega _{0}t}[/mathjax]</td>
<td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none">&#160;</td>

<p>
will produce a traveling wave of the form: </p>
<table id="a0000000003" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto">
<tr>
<td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]\psi (x,t)=f_{s}(t-\frac{x}{v_{g}})e^{i(k_{0}x-\omega _{0}t)}[/mathjax]</td>
<td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none">&#160;</td>
</tr>
