Modulation and demodulation of AM signal

Objective:
 Understand and apply principles of AM modulation and demodulation
 Gain hands-on experience with equipment and document results for practical
communication applications.
Introduction:
Amplitude Modulation (AM) is a technique in communication where
the amplitude of a carrier wave varies with the information signal. Demodulation is
the process of extracting the original signal from the modulated carrier, making it
essential for applications like AM radio

Sine Wave Block:

The Sine Wave block generates a sine wave signal, characterized by
its amplitude, frequency, phase, and other parameters. It is commonly used
to create periodic or oscillatory input signals in simulations or experiments.
Constant Block:
The Constant block provides a fixed or constant value that can be used
as an input in a system or model. It is often used to set initial conditions or
as a reference value for comparison.
Pulse Generator:
The Pulse Generator block generates a series of rectangular pulses
with defined properties, such as amplitude, width, and period. It is frequently
used to simulate digital signals or as a control signal in various applications.
Product Block:
The Product block is used to perform multiplication or scaling
operations on signals. It allows you to multiply two input signals or scale a
signal by a constant factor, which is essential in various mathematical and
engineering applications.
Switch:
The Switch block acts as a controlled switch, allowing or blocking
the flow of a signal based on a specified condition or control input. It's
useful for routing signals in different directions within a model or
simulation.
Mux Block:
The Mux (multiplexer) block is used to combine multiple input
signals into a single output signal. This is particularly useful when you need
to merge several data sources or control signals into a single stream.
Scope Block:
The Scope block is used for visualization and monitoring purposes. It
displays signals graphically, allowing you to observe and analyze the
behavior of your system or model over time. It is a crucial tool for
understanding the results of simulations and experiments

Working:
In simple terms, AM (Amplitude Modulation) modulation and demodulation
using Simulink in MATLAB work like this:
AM Modulation:
You start with a carrier signal (like a radio station's signal) and an information
signal (like music).
You mix these signals together, making the carrier signal get stronger and weaker
to represent the music's loudness.
The result is an AM-modulated signal that can be transmitted.
AM Demodulation:
You receive the AM-modulated signal.
You multiply it with another carrier signal that's just like the one used in
modulation. This reverses the process and extracts the music signal.
The signal still contains some high-frequency noise, so you use a filter to get rid of
it.
What's left is the original music signal, and you can listen to it. Simulink in
MATLAB helps you do all of this with visual block diagrams, making it easier to
understand and experiment with AM modulation and demodulation.

Conclusion:
In summary, Simulink in MATLAB simplifies the implementation of AM
modulation and demodulation processes, which are fundamental in communication
systems. It offers a visual and user-friendly approach for modeling, simulating, and
understanding these techniques
