What is the Amplitude Modulation?

Amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulation technique used in electronic communication,


most commonly for transmitting messages with a radio wave. In amplitude modulation,
the amplitude of the wave is varied in proportion to that of the message signal, such as
an audio signal.In amplitude modulation we have message signal which has the message to be
transmitted and also carrier signal.

How Amplitude Modulation occurs?


Comm System
Experiment # 2 Lab Report 1

AM involves generating a message signal and a high-frequency carrier signal. The message
signal is multiplied with the carrier, resulting in a modulated wave with an amplitude that varies
according to the message. The modulation index is adjusted to avoid distortion, and the final
AM signal is transmitted through the medium

Mathematics:

Demodulation:

Demodulation of a conventional AM signal is straightforward due to the nature of the message


signal m(t)m(t) and its relation to the carrier. Rectifying the received signal eliminates negative
values without affecting the message signal. The rectified signal is then passed through a low-
pass filter, which matches the bandwidth of the message signal, to recover the original

message. This process is performed by an envelope detector, which consists of a rectifier


followed by a low-pass filter

Lab Tasks:

1. Write MATLAB code for amplitude modulation and demodulation of a message signal. 2.
Repeat the task using MATLAB built in commands for amplitude modulation and
demodulation. Compare the output of two methods. For designing low pass filter use fdatool
of MATLAB. Message signal = Sine Signal of 0.1*2*pi Hz:, Fc= 3000.
Code:
fs = 10000;

t = 0:1/fs:0.05;

f_message = 0.1;

f_carrier = 3000;

m_t = sin(2*pi*f_message*t);

s_t = (1 + m_t) .* cos(2*pi*f_carrier*t);

r_t = s_t .* cos(2*pi*f_carrier*t);

[b, a] = butter(5, 0.2/(fs/2));

demodulated_manual = filter(b, a, r_t);

s_builtin = ammod(m_t, f_carrier, fs);

demodulated_builtin = amdemod(s_builtin, f_carrier, fs);

the reception part of system in the above block diagram, and retrieve the same signal. Plot
input, carrier signal, modulated signal and received message. Specifications of message

Conclusion:

In,this lab we got to know the process of Double Sideband Amplitude Modulation and
demodulation using Simulink. A sinusoidal message signal is modulated with a carrier, then
demodulated by multiplying it again with the carrier signal. The output scope visualizes the
successful retrieval of the original message, showcasing the effectiveness of the DSB-AM
technique.
