Procedure: Introduction to SIMULINK; AM modulation and demodulation

1. What is SIMULINK?
Simulink is a software package that enables you to model, simulate, and analy e systems whose outputs change o!er time. Such systems are often referred to as dynamic systems. Simulink can be used to e"plore the beha!ior of a wide range of real#world dynamic systems, including electrical circuits, shock absorbers, braking systems, and many other electrical, mechanical, and thermodynamic systems. Simulating a dynamic system is a two#step process with Simulink. $irst, a user creates a block diagram, using the Simulink model editor, which graphically depicts time# dependent mathematical relationships among the system%s inputs, states, and outputs. &he user then commands Simulink to simulate the system represented by the model from a specified start time to a specified stop time.

2. Getting Started in SIMULINK

3. Introduction to Amp itude Modu ation !AM" and #emodu ation

An A' signal with a sinusoidal carrier can be represented asC
v AM (t - = Vc E, + ms (t -D cos c t

where s (t - is the normali ed message, satisfying F s (t - F ma" , . &he $ourier transform of v AM (t - is gi!en byC
Vc V mVc mVc ( c - + c ( + c - + S ( c - + S ( + c 2 2 2 2 where s ( c - is the $ourier transform of s (t - . V AM ( - =

A simple demodulation techniGue is the en!elope detection. &o use en!elope detection, you should make sure that m , . &he diagram is as below.

&. Another Method o% #emodu ating AM Signa ' S(nchronous #etection

&here is another method of demodulating A' signal other than the en!elope detection we used for part +, called synchronous detection. &he demodulation process is multiplying V AM (t - by cos c t C
VAM (t - 4 cos c t = V c E, + ms(t -D V c E, + ms (t -D + cos 2c t 2 2 Vc ms (t which is 2

After low pass filtering and 76 blocking, we get the output signal proportional to the original signal. &his demodulating scheme can be !iewed asC
