Skinny modulation(no side-bands). I have a new idea for a modulation method, but I might be crazy, so I thought I would try here first.
If this is possible, it might be handy for weak and/or noisy environments.
My idea is to physically or electronically move the origin of the electric field reference or the magnetic dipole reference, during one cycle of the carrier frequency.
This means that the modulating(base-band) frequency must be at least equal to or multiples of, the carrier frequency.
Think of moving an antenna during one carrier cycle. If we move the antenna in any one direction, during the first pie, then move it back to original position on the second pie.......what would the received signal look like?
You would see a bow(an out of round) in the first sine pie and a counter bow in the second pie. The amplitude, the frequency and the phase do not change.
For every one complete displacement of the origin, we get two bows. If we did four complete displacements per cycle, we would get four bows and four counter bows intertwined.
The modulating F would be 4 MHZ for a 1 MHZ carrier.
For detection, we compare a un-bowed sine.
Of course this has problems trying to implement. I haven't been able to figure out a way to electronically do this. I kinda gave up on the electric side, but have been thinking of a sort of magnetic modulation.
Normally the magnetic dipole is perpendicular to a current loop. What would happen if during the fist pie, we diverted that field by 45 degrees(with an external, same polarity, but varying field), and let it revert back to perpendicular during the second pie? We would be changing the electric/magnetic relationship, within the cycle. I would think this might cause a bow or wobble also.
Ok then, what do you think, any suggestions? Or should I try medication?
The goal is to cause a wobble modulation, without sidebands.
What can we vary on a constant carrier, without causing sidebands?
I believe that magnetic harmonics can be placed on a fundamental electric, without the electric harmonics.
This would cause a widening in the spectral line, but no sidebands.
What if we made the feedpoint stationary and on a fulcrum. And during the first pie, we rotate the end of the dipole in a circle and the other dipole end follows symmetrically.
What if we rotate at 10 times in a pie?
