What is complex baseband signal?
Complex baseband representation of a modulated signal
By definition, a passband signal is a signal whose one-sided energy spectrum is centered on non-zero carrier frequency and does not extend to DC.
What is the concept of baseband and bandpass signal?
Baseband transmission sends the information signal as it is without modulation (without frequency shifting) while passband transmission shifts the signal to be transmitted in frequency to a higher frequency and then transmits it, where at the receiver the signal is shifted back to its original frequency.
What are the challenges of baseband signal transmission?
But a baseband signal cannot be transmitted over a radio link or a satellite because this would require a large antenna to radiate the low-frequency spectrum of the signal. Hence the baseband signal spectrum must be shifted to a higher frequency by modulating a carrier with the baseband signal.
What is baseband IQ?
A simple answer is that I/Q are the real and imaginary components of the complex-valued transmitted baseband signal. In communication systems "I/Q data" usually refers to the real (I) and imaginary (Q) samples of the constellation for the modulation type used.
