Matlab: Am and FM Modulation: Experiment Number

The document discusses generating AM and FM signals using MATLAB. It explains that the ammod function uses a message signal to modulate a carrier signal using amplitude modulation. It also explains that the fmmod function modulates a message signal using frequency modulation. Examples are provided to generate AM using ammod and FM using fmmod by setting the sample rate, carrier frequency, and manipulating sinusoidal message signals. Printouts of the code and output plots are requested to be attached.

EXPERIMENT NUMBER -
MATLAB: AM AND FM MODULATION
Aim: Generation of AM Signal in MATLAB

Apparatus: PC, MATLAB v7 or greater

Theory:

- MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment.


- It is a proprietary programming language developed by MathWorks Inc.
- MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms,
creation of user interfaces and interfacing with programs written in other languages like C, C++, Java,
Python etc.
- Although MATLAB is primarily intended for numerical computing, a number of optional toolboxes allow
for extended functionality.
- Generation of AM using MATLAB:
o In Amplitude Modulation, the amplitude of the carrier (VC) signal is varied with respect to the
instantaneous amplitude of the information signal (VM).
o To generate AM signal in MATLAB, we use the inbuilt function ammod.
o ammod:
Syntax:
 y = ammod(x,Fc,Fs) uses the message signal x to modulate a carrier signal with frequency
Fc (Hz) using amplitude modulation. The carrier signal and x have sample frequency Fs
(Hz). The modulated signal has zero initial phase and zero carrier amplitude, so the result is
suppressed-carrier modulation.
 The x, Fc, and Fs input arguments must satisfy Fs > 2(Fc + BW), where BW is the bandwidth
of the modulating signal x.
 y = ammod(x,Fc,Fs,ini_phase) specifies the initial phase in the modulated signal y in
radians.
 y = ammod(x,Fc,Fs,ini_phase,carramp) performs transmitted-carrier modulation instead
of suppressed-carrier modulation. The carrier amplitude is carramp.
o Example:
% Set the sample rate to 100 Hz. Create a time vector 100 seconds long
fs = 100;
t = (0:1/fs:100)';
% Set the carrier frequency to 10 Hz. Generate a sinusoidal signal.
fc = 10;
x = sin(2*pi*t);
% create DSB signal using ammod
y = ammod(x,fc,fs);

- Generation of FM in MATLAB:
o In Frequency Modulation, frequency of the carrier is varied with respect to the instantaneous
amplitude of information signal.
o To generate FM, we use inbuilt function fmmod
o fmmod:
Syntax:
 y = fmmod(x,Fc,Fs,freqdev) modulates the message signal x using frequency
modulation. The carrier signal has frequency Fc (Hz) and sampling rate Fs (Hz), where Fs
must be at least 2*Fc. The freqdev argument is the frequency deviation constant (Hz) of the
modulated signal.
 y = fmmod(x,Fc,Fs,freqdev,ini_phase) specifies the initial phase of the modulated
signal, in radians.
o Example:

% Set the sample rate and carrier frequency. Generate a time vector having a
duration of 0.2 s.
fs = 1000;
fc = 200;
t = (0:1/fs:0.2)';
% create sinusoidal signal
x = sin(2*pi*30*t)+2*sin(2*pi*60*t);
% set frequency deviation to 50Hz
fDev = 50;
% frequency modulation using fmmod
y = fmmod(x,fc,fs,fDev);
