Lab 5 Comm

This lab experiment aims to measure noise power density and examine the effect of noise on an AM signal. Key steps include: 1. Measuring noise power density from a noise source and calculating the noise power spectral density. 2. Sending a sinusoidal AM signal with and without noise and measuring the signal power, noise power, and signal-to-noise ratios at the transmitter and receiver. 3. Investigating how noise affects the modulated and demodulated signals by adding different levels of noise and observing the signals on an oscilloscope.

Noise Effect:
The additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel model is one in which the information is
given a single impairment: a linear addition of wideband or white noise with a constant spectral
density(expressed as watts per hertz of bandwidth) and a Gaussian distribution of amplitude. The
model does not account for the phenomena of fading, frequency selectivity, interference,
nonlinearity or dispersion. However, it produces simple and tractable mathematical models
which are useful for gaining insight into the underlying behavior of a system before these other
phenomena are considered

Procedure:
I- Measurement of noise power density
 Set up the noise source
 Connect the output of G (Noise generator) to the P (Ac) / V (Dc) converter.
 Adjust the “NOISE LEVEL” to the far right limit.
 Use cassy interface on measure DC voltage.
 Use the following formula to calculate the noise power density:
SE = UDC. 32 . 10-9 V/Hz SE = ___________?
 Sketch noise signal using cassy interface.
 Sketch the spectrum of noise signal using cassy interface. Write your comment
about this noise signal

II- Effect of Noise on AM (no carrier i.e. DSB-SC Signal)
 Set up the experiment as specified
 Set a sinusoidal signal with amplitude U=5V and frequency f=2 KHz.
 Adjust the “Noise Level” to the far left limit (without noise). Set carrier switch to off.
 Display and sketch the modulated signal(i.e. without noise)
 Use equation P1 = Umax2 /4 to calculate the power level of the modulated signal.
 Display and sketch the demodulated signal (i.e. without noise).
 Use equation P2 = Umax2 /2 to calculate the power level of the demodulated signal.

 Feed a noise power density of approx. 40.10-9 into the transmission channel.
 Display and sketch the modulated signal (i.e. with noise).
 Display and sketch the demodulated signal (i.e. with noise)
 Use equation N1 = S1 B T to calculate the noise power in the transmission channel (noisy
modulated signal).
Where S1 is the noise power density and B T is the transmission bandwidth.
 Use equation N2 = S2 B M to calculate the noise power in the demodulated signal.
Where S2 is the noise power density for demodulated signal and BM is the modulation
bandwidth(modulating signal).
 Now calculate signal- to-noise ratios
SNR1= P1/N1 i.e. signal to noise ratio for the signal on transmission line
SNR2= P2/N2 i.e. signal to noise ratio for demodulated signal.
 Calculate signal- to- noise ratio gain i.e. RN = SNR2 / SNR1 and then write your
comment(s).
