Abstract
Sampling is the first step involved in converting an analog signal to a digital signal. The process of sampling converts a continuous-time signal into a discrete-time signal. Double sideband-suppressed carrier (DSB-SC) modulation is a form of amplitude modulation (AM) in which the carrier component is suppressed, to achieve better power efficiency. In this article, a complementary relationship between sampling and DSB-SC is highlighted using fundamental mathematical procedures. Sampling and DSB-SC, which are seemingly unrelated processes in a communication system can be represented in terms of each other. This research aims to spur investigation of alternative and novel methods for implementing sampling and DSB-SC modulation.
