AIM:To plot the amplitude modulation and demodulation using matlab software.
TOOLS REQUIRED: PC, MATLAB software.
THEORY: In the amplitude modulation, amplitude of carrier signal wave is varied in
accordance with the modulating or message signal by keeping the phase and frequency of
the signals constant. The carrier signal frequency would be greater than the modulating
signal frequency. Amplitude modulation is first type of modulation used for transmitting
messages for long distances by the mankind. The AM radio ranges in between 535 to 1705
kHz which is great. But when compared to frequency modulation, the Amplitude modulation
is weak, but still it is used for transmitting messages. Bandwidth of amplitude modulation
should be twice the frequency of modulating signal or message signal. If the modulating
signal frequency is 10 kHz then the Amplitude modulation frequency should be around 20
kHz. In AM radio broadcasting, the modulating signal or message signal is 15 kHz. Hence
the AM modulated signal which is used for broadcasting should be 30 kHz.Because of
amplitude modulation wavelength, AM signals can propagate longer distances.For amplitude
modulation, we use simple and low cost circuit; we dont need any special equipment and
complex circuits that are used in frequency modulation.The Amplitude modulation receiver
will be wider when compared to the FM receiver. Because, atmospheric propagation is good
for amplitude modulated signals.Bandwidths limit is also big advantage for Amplitude
modulation, which doesnt have in frequency modulation.Transmitter and receiver are
simple in Amplitude modulation. When we take a demodulation unit of AM receiver, it
consists of RC filter and a diode which will demodulate the message signal or modulating
signal from modulated AM signal, which is unlike in Frequency modulation.zero crossing in
Amplitude modulation is equidistant.
