COMPLEX MODULATION AND IMAGE REJECTION
OF BASEBAND SIGNALS
In traditional transmit applications, a two-step upconversion is
done in which a baseband signal is modulated by one carrier to
an IF (intermediate frequency) and then modulated a second
time to the transmit frequency. Although this approach has
several benefits, a major drawback is that two images are created
near the transmit frequency. Only one image is needed, the other
being an exact duplicate. Unless the unwanted image is filtered,
typically with analog components, transmit power is wasted and
the usable bandwidth available in the system is reduced.
A more efficient method of suppressing the unwanted image
can be achieved by using a complex modulator followed by a
quadrature modulator. Figure 78 is a block diagram of a
quadrature modulator. Note that it is in fact the real output half
of a complex modulator. The complete upconversion can
actually be referred to as two complex upconversion stages, the
real output of which becomes the transmitted signal.

Figure 78. Quadrature Modulation
The entire upconversion from baseband to transmit frequency
is represented graphically in Figure 79. The resulting spectrum
shown in Figure 79 represents the complex data consisting of
the baseband real and imaginary channels, now modulated onto
orthogonal (cosine and negative sine) carriers at the transmit
frequency. It is important to remember that in this application
(two baseband data channels), the image rejection is not
dependent on the data at either of the AD9777 input channels.
In fact, image rejection still occurs with either one or both of
the AD9777 input channels active. Note that by changing the
sign of the sinusoidal multiplying term in the complex
modulator, the upper sideband image could have been
suppressed while passing the lower one. This is easily done in
the AD9777 by selecting the e+jωt bit (Register 01h, Bit 1). In
purely complex terms, Figure 79 represents the two-stage
upconversion from complex baseband to carrier.
