4.1 Representation of Band-Pass Signals and Systems The channel over which the signal is transmitted is limited in bandwidth to an interval of frequencies centered about the carrier. Signals and channels (systems) that satisfy the condition that their bandwidth is much smaller than the carrier frequency are termed narrowband band-pass signals and channels (systems). With no loss of generality and for mathematical convenience, it is desirable to reduce all band-pass signals and channels to equivalent low-pass signals and channels.

4.1.1 Representation of Band-Pass Signals
Suppose that a real-valued signal s(t) has a frequency content concentrated in a narrow band of frequencies in the vicinity of a frequency fc, as shown in the following figure:

Spectrum of a band-pass signal.

Our object is to develop a mathematical representation of such signals.
