MATLAB Script Simulating The Modulating and Demodulation of An AM Wave

This MATLAB script simulates the modulation and demodulation of an amplitude modulated (AM) wave. It generates a carrier signal and modulating signal, uses them to create frequency and amplitude modulated carrier (FCAM) and double sideband suppressed carrier (DSB-SC) modulated signals. It then applies envelope detection and low pass filtering to demodulate the signals and recover the original modulating signal. Plots of the original, modulated, and demodulated signals are generated.
