Exp# 01
Exp. Name: Amplitude Modulation
1. Theoretical Background:
Amplitude Modulation is characterized by the fact that the amplitude A of the
career
Ac cos (c t+ c) is varied in proportion to the baseband signal m (t). The
frequency c and the phase c are constant.
If the modulating signal is m (t) = Am cos (m t+ m) = Am cos (2fmt+ m) and
the career signal is c (t) = Ac cos (c t+ c) = Ac cos (2fct+ c). If there is no
phase difference between the career signal and message signal then = 0.
Then the modulation signal will be
AM = m (t) * c (t) = Ac (1 = m (t)) cos ct

4. Experimental procedure:
Step 1: Write the code in the M-file properly
Step 2: Save the code in the appropriate directory with the file type .m.
Step 3: Debug and run code and checking the command window to see is any
error occurred.

Step 4: Analyzing the figure
