Aim: To observe amplitude modulation waveforms ?
Methodology: To observe the amplitude modulation (AM) waveform we want
to install the mat lab or sci lab software in our laptop. After installing the
software create a file in it. To perform the amplitude modulation we require
message signal which is a low frequency signal and carrier signal which is a
high frequency signal. By these two signals we can observe the amplitude
modulation. To get message signal and carrier signal we need to specify some
parameters to each signal like amplitude(A), frequency(F) and time(T). To
generate these signals we use A*cos(2*pi*F*T) formula. After getting both
message and carrier signal we will perform amplitude modulation by using the
Ac+ Am⋅ cos(2πfmt)]⋅cos(2πfc t) formula. Then we plot this these signals.
Tools and software: To observe amplitude modulation waveforms we need to
install mat lab or sci lab software in our laptop.
Theory: Amplitude modulation means varying the amplitude of the carrier
signal in accordance with the instantaneous amplitude of the message signal.
Which means, the amplitude of the carrier signal which contains no information
varies as per the amplitude of the message signal, at each instant, which
contains information. The message signal is a low frequency signal and carrier
signal is a high frequency signal. If we transmit the message signal without
modulation ,the signal cannot travel long distance ,so that we use this
modulation .By varying the amplitude of the carrier the frequency and phase is
not affected. By modulating the signal it can transmit over long distance
efficiently. It also reduce the size of the antenna.
Mathematical Representation:
To represent carrier signal we use c(t)=Ac*cos(2πfct) formula
To represent message signal we use m(t)=Am*cos(2πfmt) formula
To represent message signal we use s(t)=[Ac+m(t)]cos(2πfct) formula
Applications :
→ AM Radio Broadcasting
→ TV Transmission (Older Analog TV)
→ Radar Systems
→ Signal Processing and Testing
→ Aircraft Communication
Code:
//Message signal
Am=2;
Fm=10;
T= 0:0.001:1;
Ym=Am*sin(2*%pi*Fm*T);
subplot(3,1,1);
plot(T,Ym,"r");
xlabel("Time_ Akula Ajay ");
ylabel("Amplitude_ Akula Ajay ");
title("Message signal");
//Carrier signal
Ac=10;
Fc=50;
subplot(3,1,2);
Yc=Ac*sin(2*%pi*Fc*T);
plot(T,Yc);
xlabel("Time_ Akula Ajay ");
ylabel("Amplitude_ Akula Ajay ");
title("Carrier signal");
//Amplitude modulated signal
Ya = (Ac + Ym) .* sin(2*%pi*Fc*T);
subplot(3,1,3);
plot(T,Ya,"G");
xlabel("Time_ Akula Ajay ");
ylabel("Amplitude_ Akula Ajay ");
title("AM modulated signal");
Result:-
Where:
➢ Vm = amplitude of message signal
➢ Vc = Amplitude of carrier signal
➢ fm = frequency of message signal
➢ fc = frequency of carrier signal
Case(1):-
Vm=2, Vc=10, Fc=50, Fm=50, T=0.1:Fc:0.001;1
Case(2):-
Vm=4, Vc=5, Fc=30, Fm=50, T=1
Case(3):-
Vm=6, Vc=10, Fc=60, Fm=30, T=0.5
Conclusion: I successfully observed and ploted the signals of the amplitude
modulation waveforms using scilab software and by applying some
mathematical formulas
