Week 3 Lab – Amplitude Modulation and demodulation Objectives: After completing this lab you should be able to, 1. Verify the operation of full carrier AM modulator and demodulator. 2. Measure the modulation index of an AM signal. 3. Use spectrum analyzer to measure the bandwidth of an AM signal. Procedures: 1. The following modulator is referred as Square-law modulator or diode modulator. Build the following circuit using Multisim. XFG1 COM XFG2 COM A1 0.1V/V 0V Y X R1 100Ω R2 100Ω R3 100Ω XSC1 A B Ext Trig + + _ _ + _ Modulating signal: Double-click to open the settings: Frequency: 1kHz Amplitude: 4Vp Oscilloscope Carrier signal: Double-click to open the settings: Frequency: 100kHz Amplitude: 8Vp
2. Double click on the Multiplier function and change the Output gain (K) to 0.1 as shown below. Multiplier function settings 3. Run the simulation and double click on the oscilloscope. You should be able to observe the following signal. You need to adjust the scope to observe the following. Amplitude Modulated signal 4. Place the cursor 1 and 2 at the maximum and minimum level of the AM signal as shown below. Cursors are located on the left side of the oscilloscope display as indicated above. Envelope of AM signal is the modulating signal Cursors
Cursor settings 5. Record the max. and min. voltage values in the table below under V max and V min respectively. 1 st row completed as an example. Modulating signal Amplitude V max V min Measured modulation index (%) 4Vp 3.566 1.592 38.27% 5Vp 3.935V 1.309V 50.07% 7Vp 4.499V 800.814m V 70.52% 8Vp 4.790V 591.118m V 79.23% 9Vp 5.059V 301.728m V 88.40% Modulation index calculations 6. Calculate the percentage modulation index using the formula below and record the result under measured modulation index (%) in table above. 1 st one completed as an example. Modulation index m (%) = Vmax Vmin Vmax + Vmin * 100 Since 1 st cursor is placed at the max. point which has 3.566V and 2 nd cursor is placed at min. point has a voltage of 1.5952V
