Hello everybody,
I am writing a simple am modulator (actually ssb, but it does not really matters
:) ). This script shall take as input an audio signal and give as output the am
modulated signal.
The problem I am facing is the following.
The input audio signal as, for instance, a sampling frequency of 8kHz. In the am
modulator script I have much higher frequency rates: the carrier has a frequency
of 20 kHz and therefore my highest frequency can become 28 kHz, which means 56
kHz of sampling frequency.
All this results in a really big mess one it comes to plot the results: indeed
the input signal has one sampling frequency but the script works at another
(higher) sampling frequency.
How can I go around this problem?
Ive thought about upsampling, but this creates longer vectors which mess up my
script!! :S
thank you for your help! :)

Keep your sampling frequency according to the highest frequency
expected in your system
maybe a simple matlab example helps...
clear all
T = 1/100;
fm = 0.25
fc = 10
mt = sin(2*pi*fm*[0:T:10])
ct = sin(2*pi*fc*[0:T:10]);
yt = mt.*ct;
plot(yt)
