 AIM

 To generate the Amplitude modulated signal.

 To determine the percentage of modulation with various amplitude
and frequency of message and carrier signals respectively.

COMPONENTS REQUIRED
 PROCEDURE

 Connections are made according to the circuit diagram. 

 Switch on +12 V DC supply. 
 Apply message signal of 1 kHz frequency, 2Vp-p amplitude and the
carrier signal of approximately 11 kHz frequency, 15 Vp-p amplitude. 
 Feed the modulating signal to the base terminal of the transistor.
 From DSO, note down the Vmax and Vmin values, where Vmax and Vmin
correspond to the maximum and minimum amplitudes of the AM signal
in positive direction. 
 Calculate the modulation index (m) using (Vmax - Vmin) / (Vmax + Vmin)
 Repeat the experiment for varying amplitude of the message or modulating
signal.

 RESULT

 The amplitude modulated wave is generated for all types of

modulation indexes. The modulation index observed was 0. 171.
 AMPLITUDE DEMODULATION

AIM
To detect the original message signal from the Amplitude Modulated signal
using envelope detector, and successfully demodulate the signal.

COMPONENTS REQUIRED

PROCEDURE

 Connect the output of the AM as input to the detector.

 Use oscilloscope to look at the input to the envelope detector. Adjust the
modulation
to 100 percent.
 Look at the output of the envelope detector.
 Vary the frequency of the audio generator and note what happens to
the output of the
envelope detector.
 The corresponding readings are noted and a graph is plotted.
