Amplitude Modulation is defined as a process in which the amplitude of the carrier wave c(t) is varied linearly with the instantaneous amplitude of the message signal m(t).The standard form of an amplitude modulated (AM) wave is defined by

An envelope detector is a simple and yet highly effective device that is well suited for the demodulation of AM wave, for which the percentage modulation is less than 100%.Ideally, an envelop detector produces an output signal that follows the envelop of the input signal wave form exactly; hence, the name. Some version of this circuit is used in almost all commercial AM radio receivers.

Apparatus Required:
Name of the Component/Equipment SSB system trainer board CRO Specifications --30MHz Quantity 1 1
Theory:
An SSB signal is produced by passing the DSB signal through a highly selective band pass filter. This filter selects either the upper or the lower sideband. Hence transmission bandwidth can be cut by half if one sideband is entirely suppressed. This leads to single-sideband modulation (SSB). In SSB modulation bandwidth saving is accompanied by a considerable increase in equipment complexity.

Theory:
The noise has a effect on the higher modulating frequencies than on the lower ones. Thus, if the higher frequencies were artificially boosted at the transmitter and correspondingly cut at the receiver, an improvement in noise immunity could be expected, there by increasing the SNR ratio. This boosting of the higher modulating frequencies at the transmitter is known as pre-emphasis and the compensation at the receiver is called de-emphasis.

Theory:
The analog signal can be converted to a discrete time signal by a process called sampling. The sampling theorem for a band limited signal of finite energy can be stated as, A band limited signal of finite energy, which has no frequency component higher than W Hz is completely described by specifying the values of the signal at instants of time separated by 1/2W seconds. It can be recovered from knowledge of samples taken at the rate of 2W per second.

Now by adjusting the potentiometer, vary the amplitude of modulating signal and observe the output of sampling circuit. Note that the amplitude of the sampling pulses will be varying in accordance with the amplitude of the modulating signal. 6. Design the reconstructing circuit. Depending on sampling frequency, R & C values are calculated using the relations Fs = 1/Ts, Ts = RC. Choosing an appropriate value for C, R can be found using the relation R=Ts/C 7. Connect the sampling circuit output to the reconstructing circuit shown in Fig 2 8. Observe the output of the reconstructing circuit (AF signal) for different sampling frequencies.

Theory:
PAM is the simplest form of data modulation .The amplitude of uniformly spaced pulses is varied in proportion to the corresponding sample values of a continuous message m (t). A PAM waveform consists of a sequence of flat-topped pulses. The amplitude of each pulse corresponds to the value of the message signal x (t) at the leading edge of the pulse. The pulse amplitude modulation is the process in which the amplitudes of regularity spaced rectangular pulses vary with the instantaneous sample values of a continuous message signal in a one-one fashion. A PAM wave is represented mathematically as,

Theory:
Pulse Time Modulation is also known as Pulse Width Modulation or Pulse Length Modulation. In PWM, the samples of the message signal are used to vary the duration of the individual pulses. Width may be varied by varying the time of occurrence of leading edge, the trailing edge or both edges of the pulse in accordance with modulating wave. It is also called Pulse Duration Modulation.

Theory:
In Pulse Position Modulation, both the pulse amplitude and pulse duration are held constant but the position of the pulse is varied in proportional to the sampled values of the message signal. Pulse time modulation is a class of signaling techniques that encodes the sample values of an analog signal on to the time axis of a digital signal and it is analogous to angle modulation techniques. The two main types of PTM are PWM and PPM. In PPM the analog sample value determines the position of a narrow pulse relative to the clocking time. In PPM rise time of pulse decides the channel bandwidth. It has low noise interference.

Theory:
When several communications channels are between the two same points significant economics may be realized by sending all the messages on one transmission facility a process called multiplexing. Applications of multiplexing range from the vital, if prosaic, telephone networks to the glamour of FM stereo and space probe telemetry system. There are two basic multiplexing techniques 1. Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) 2. Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)
Analog Communications
31
The principle of the frequency division multiplexing is that several input messages individually modulate the subcarriers fc1, fc2,etc.after passing through LPFs to limit the message bandwidth. We show the subcarrier modulation as SSB, and it often is; but any of the CW modulation techniques could be employed or a Mixture of them. The modulated signals are then summoned to produce the baseband signal with the spectrumXb9f), the designation baseband is used here to indicate that the final carrier modulation has not yet taken place. The major practical problem of FDM is cross talks, the unwanted coupling of one message into another. Intelligible cross talk arises primarily because of non linearitys in the system, which cause 1 message signal to appear as modulation on subcarrier. Consequently, standard practice calls for negative feedback to minimize amplifier non linearity in FDM systems

Theory:
The diode is by far the most common device used for A.M demodulation or detection. The simple diode detector has the disadvantages that demodulated output voltage in addition to being proportional to the modulating voltage, also has dc component which represents the average envelope amplitude(i.e. carrier strength ) and a small R.F ripple. The unwanted components are removed in a practical detector. Fig(1) shows a practical diode detector. In this diode has been reversed, so that the negative envelope is demodulated. This has no effect on detection, but it does ensure that a negative AGC voltage will be available. Here tow resistors are used to ensure that there is a series dc path to ground for the diode, but at the same time a low pass filter has been added in the form of R1-C1 , this has the function of removing any RF ripple that might still be present. Capacitor C2 is a coupling capacitor, whose main function is to prevent the diode dc output from reaching the volume control R4. The combination of R3 C3 is low pass filter designed to remove AF components, proving a dc voltage whose amplitude is proportional to the carrier strength and which may be used for automatic gain control

42
Theory:
A Simple AGC is a system by means of which the overall gain of a radio receiver is varied automatically with the changing strength of the received signal, to keep the output substantially constant. The devices used in those stages are ones whose transconductance and hence gain depends on the applied bias voltage or current. It may be noted that, for correct AGC operation, this relationship between applied bias and transconductance need not to be strictly linear, as long as transconductance drops significantly with increased bias. All modern receivers are furnished with AGC, which enables tuning to stations of varying signal strengths without appreciable change in the size of the output signal thus AGC "irons out" input signal amplitude variations, and the gain control does not have to be re adjusted every time the receiver is tuned from one station to another, except when the change in signal strength is enormous. In addition, AGC helps to smooth out the rapid fading which may occur with long-distance short-wave reception and prevents the overloading of the last IF amplifier which might otherwise have occurred.

Now vary the amplitude of AF signal and observe the AM wave at output, note the percentage of modulation for different values of AF signal. % Modulation= (Emax -Emin) /(Emax+Emin) 100 6. Now adjust the modulation index to 30% by varying the amplitudes of RF & AF signals simultaneously. 7. Connect AM output to the input of AGC and also to the CRO channel -1 8. Connect AGC link to the feedback network through OA79 diode 9. Now connect CRO channel - 2 at output. The detected audio signal of 1 KHz will be observed. 10. Calculate the voltage gain by measuring the amplitude of output signal (Vo) waveform, using Formula A = Vo/V i 11. Now vary input level of 455 KHz IF signal and observe detected 1 KHz audio signal with and Without AGC link. The output will be distorted when AGC link removed i.e. there is no AGC action. 12.
