Lab 3
Amplitude Modulation
Objective:
The main objective of this lab is to get familiar of AM implementation in LabVIEW.

Introduction:
Amplitude modulation or AM as it is often called, is a form of modulation used for radio transm
issions for broadcasting and two way radio communication applications.

Although one of the earliest used forms of modulation it is still used today, mainly for long, me
dium and short wave broadcasting and for some aeronautical point to point communications.

One of the key reasons for the use of amplitude modulation was its ease of use. The system sim
ply required the carrier amplitude to be modulated, but more usefully the detector required in th
e receiver could be a simple diode based circuit. This meant that AM radios did not need compli
cated demodulators and costs were reduced - a key requirement for widespread use of radio tech
nology, especially in the early days of radio when ICs were not available.

Post-Lab Task 1:
Implement AM in Math script node and observe graphs of modulating signal, carrier signal and
modulated signal. Implement the following equation:

y(t)= Ac {1 + m*sin(2πfmt)} cos(2πfct)

Where, m is modulation index. Take modulation index 0.5, 1 and 1.5 and observe the modulated
signal.
