    ADC 1: AMPLITUDE MODULATION

    1. ObjectivesExperiment Part 1: AM Modulation

    To recognize a message signal, a carrier signal and an AM modulatedwaveform.

    To measure the modulation index of an AM signal.

    To study the frequency spectrum of an AM signal.

    Experiment Part 2: AM Demodulation

    To demonstrate AM demodulation.

    2. Introductiona) Modulation

    To communicate over long distances, we can send a radio frequency (RF) signal between

    two antennas, one at the transmitting end and the other at the receiving end. Frequenciesused by AM transmissions are typically between 200 kHz and 25 MHz. A typical radio

    frequency of say, 1 MHz, is much higher than the audio frequencies present in the human

    voice.

    We appear to have two incompatible requirements. A radio system uses frequencies like 1

    MHz to transmit over long distances, but we wish to send typical voice frequencies of

    between 300 Hz and 3.4 kHz which are quite impossible to transmit by radio signals. This

    problem can be overcome by using a process called modulation.

    A radio system can easily send high frequency signals between a transmitter and a receiverbut this, on its own, conveys no information. Now, if we were to alter the high frequency

    signals (in amplitude or frequency or phase or any combination of them) in

    correspondence with the variation of the amplitude of the message signal, we could use it

    to send information.

    Modulation is a process where a carrier wave is systematically altered (in amplitude or

    frequency or phase or any combination of them) in correspondence with the variation of amodulating signal, the message signal. The resulting modulated signal will carry the

    message information in its amplitude or frequency or phase or any combination of them.

    b) Amplitude Modulation (AM)

    In Amplitude Modulation, the carrier signal s t A tc c c( ) cos= is modulated in amplitude

    by m(t) to produce : [ ]s t A m t tAM c c

    ( ) ( ) cos= +1

    c) Depth of modulation

    Let us consider the following signals:Carrier : s t A tc c c( ) cos=

    Modulating signal: m t m t m( ) cos=

    Modulated signal : [ ]s t A m t tAM c m c( ) cos cos= +1

    The amount by which the amplitude of the carrier wave increases or decreases depends

    on the amplitude of the information signal and is called the modulation index.

    i) Undermodulation, m < 1

    Under this modulation condition, a simple noncoherent demodulation technique such

    as envelope detector can be used to recover the original message signal withoutdistortion.

    ii) Overmodulation, m > 1

    Under this modulation condition, noncoherent demodulation will not be able torecover the original message signal without distortion.

    When the message signal is constantly changing, as in a voice or music signal, thefrequency of the modulating envelope and the percentage of modulation are

    constantly changing. This constant change makes it practically impossible to

    determine the modulation index from the waveform displayed on an oscilloscope.

    A solution to the above problem is to set the oscilloscope display to X-Y mode. In

    this method, the X input is channel 1 (the message signal) and the Y input is channel

    2 (the modulated signal).

    Appendix : A Quick Guide on Using IFR 2399B Spectrum Analyzer

    Introduction

    A spectrum analyzer is measurement equipment that provides information about frequencycontent of an input signal. In brief, it provides amplitude spectrum (amplitude versus

    frequency) of an input signal.

    Operating Procedure

    In order to operate a spectrum analyzer to obtain useful information, we must specify the

    required display formats:i) The observation frequency range to be displayed (X-axis setting), i.e., the start and

    the stop frequency. The frequency difference between the start and the stop

    frequencies is called the frequency span.

    ii) Amplitude display units, reference level, scale, and detector mode (log or linear), i.e.,Y-axis setting.

    iii) Signal coupling options: RBW, sweep time, VBW, input attenuation.

    1. Power on procedurei) Connect the spectrum analyzer to the AC main power supply.

    ii) Power on the spectrum analyzer with switch labeled 22 and continue by depressingtoggle switch at 16.

    2. Frequency settingThe observation frequency range can be set in either of the following two modes:

    i) Center Span Mode

    a) To set the center frequency of measurement range:

    depress FREQ 3, select CENTERof the soft function key 2,

    key in the numerical value by using Numeric Key 4, or use Step key 9,

    or Scroll key 8.b) To set the span

    depress SPAN 3,

    select WIDTHSPAN of the soft function key 2,

    key in the numerical value by using Numeric Key 4, or use Step key 9

    or Scroll key 8.

    ii) Start Stop Mode

    a) To set the start frequency of measurement range depress FREQ 3,

    select START of the soft function key 2,

    key in the numerical value by using Numeric Key 4, or use Step key 9or Scroll key 8.

    b) To set the stop frequency

    depress FREQ 3,

    select STOP of the soft function key 2,

    key in the numerical value by using Numeric Key 4, or use Step key 9

    or Scroll key 8.

    b) set to linear detector

    depress AMPL 3, select LINEARof the soft function key 2.

    ii) To set the amplitude units to dBm/dBmV/dBuV/volts/watts

    depress AMPL 3,

    select UNITS of the soft function key 2,

    select dBm/dBmV/dBuV/volts/watts of the soft function key 2,

    select PREV.

    iii) To set the reference level (top graticule) depress AMPL 3,

    select REF LEVEL of the soft function key 2,

    key in the numerical value by using Numeric Key 4, or use Step key 9 or

    Scroll key 8.iv) To set the division of the amplitude scale

    a) in log detector mode

    depress AMPL 3,

    select SCALE of the soft function key 2,

    select 10dB/DIV or 5dB/DIV or 2dB/DIV or 1dB/DIV,

    select PREV.b) in linear detector mode

    no need to set, only full scale is available.v) To set the input attenuation

    depress AMPL 3,

    select ATTEN [AUTO/MNL] of the soft function key 2, key in the numerical value by using Numeric Key 4, or use Step key 9 orScroll key 8.

    Note that the ATTEN mode (AUTO or MNL) is changed by pressing the

    ATTEN key. In ATTEN MNL (manual) mode, the step size can be set by numerickeys, step key and scroll key. If ATTEN AUTO mode is selected, the input

    attenuator will be coupled by the current reference level automatically.

    vi) To set the coupled function to Auto or Manuala) select AUTO mode

    depress CPL 5,

    select ALL AUTO of the soft function key 2.

    b) select MANUAL mode of operation of RBW/sweep time/VBW depress CPL 5,

    select RBW[MNL]/SWP TIME[MNL]/VBW[MNL] of the soft function

    key 2,

    depress CPL 5,

    select RBW/SWEEP TIME/VBW of the soft function key 2.
