ComSys Lab-3 (Tuesday Batch)

This document provides instructions for students to complete tasks on amplitude modulation (AM) and demodulation as part of a communication systems laboratory. It describes tasks to generate and plot AM signals using MATLAB functions, calculate signal properties, and demodulate an AM signal. It also includes a bonus task to plot the variation of carrier power and sideband power with modulation index. The document is from a professor and contains detailed instructions and questions for students to answer as part of their lab work.

Task 1.(a): Amplitude Modulation (AM)

Consider single-tone modulation, that is, m(t) = Am cos(2fm t)


Understand following commands or library functions
clf, clc, clear
linspace
modulate
ammod
Use the following
Generate million points between 0 and 0.01 using linspace
carrier frequency=18 KHz; message signal frequency = 900 Hz;
carrier peak amplitude = 10 volt; message peak amplitude = 4 volt;

Task 1.(a): Amplitude Modulation (AM)

Questions:
1 What is the value of depth of modulation or modulation index ?
2 Write a program to plot message signal, carrier signal, and, modulated
signal without using MATLAB library function. In other words, use AM signal
expression directly. Give x-label, y-label, title etc. to all subplots.
3 Assume R = 1. Compute carrier power Pc , transmit power Pt , power in
sidebands, % power efficiency, and bandwidth.

Task 1.(b): Amplitude Modulation (AM)

Question:
1 Write a program to plot message signal, carrier signal, and, modulated
signal using MATLAB library function ammod. Use the same set of
parameters given in task 1.(a). Give x-label, y-label, title etc. to all subplots

Dr. B. Sainath (BITS, PILANI) Communication Systems Lab-3 Aug., 2017 5/7
Task 2: Demodulation

Understand following commands or functions


amdemod
butter
Use the following
Same set of parameters in AM (plus)
sampling frequency = 80000;
[num, den] = butter(10,fc*2/fs); (Butterworth LPF)
Question:
1 Write a program to plot modulated signal using MATLAB library function
ammod and demodulated (an estimate of message signal) using MATLAB
library function amdemod
2 Give x-label, y-label, title etc. to all subplots

Dr. B. Sainath (BITS, PILANI) Communication Systems Lab-3 Aug., 2017 6/7
Bonus Task: Power Efficiency

Question:
1 Write a program to plot variations of carrier power and total sideband power
(normalized with respect to the total average power) with %modulation
modulation index = 0:0.05:1;
2 Give x-label, y-label, title etc. to all subplots
Which curve has positive slope? Which curve has negative slope?
