Modulation is defined as the process by which some characteristics of a carrier
signal is varied in accordance with a modulating signal. The baseband signal is
referred to as the modulating signal and the output of the modulation process is
called as the modulation.

Amplitude modulation (AM) is a method of transmitting information by varying


the amplitude of a carrier wave in proportion to the message signal. In other
words, the original signal (the message) is superimposed onto a high frequency
carrier wave, resulting in a new signal that can be transmitted over long
distances.

The process of AM modulation involves multiplying the message signal with


the carrier signal to produce a new signal that has a varying amplitude, which is
proportional to the message signal. This new signal is then transmitted over the
communication channel, such as a radio wave.

At the receiver end, the process of demodulation is used to extract the original
message signal from the modulated signal. This involves multiplying the
modulated signal with a replica of the original carrier wave to obtain a new
signal that contains the original message signal. This new signal is then passed
through a low-pass filter to remove any high-frequency noise and obtain the
original message signal.

AM modulation is widely used in radio broadcasting, where the message signal


is typically an audio signal, and the carrier wave has a high frequency in the
range of several hundred kilohertz to several megahertz. AM modulation is
simple to implement and has been used since the early days of radio
communication. However, it is less efficient than other modulation techniques,
such as frequency modulation (FM), and is susceptible to noise and
interference.

Amplitude demodulation

Amplitude Demodulation The process of detection provides a means of


recovering the message Signal from modulated signal. Demodulation is the
reverse process of modulation.

The detector circuit is employed to separate the carrier wave and eliminate the
side bands. Since the envelope of an AM wave has the same shape as the
message, independent of the carrier frequency and phase, demodulation can be
accomplished by extracting envelope.

Procedure:
1. Open a new blank schematic in Multisim.

2. Place a signal generator on the schematic and configure it to generate a


carrier wave with the desired frequency and amplitude.

3. Place a voltage source on the schematic and configure it to generate the


modulating signal (i.e. the message signal).

4. Place a multiplier on the schematic and connect the carrier wave output of the
signal generator to one input of the multiplier and the modulating signal output
of the voltage source to the other input of the multiplier.

5. Connect the output of the multiplier to the input of the diode detector.

6. Place a diode detector on the schematic and connect the output of the
multiplier to one input of the diode detector and the carrier wave output of the
signal generator to the other input of the diode detector.

7. Connect the output of the diode detector to the input of the low-pass filter.

8. Place a scope on the schematic and connect it to the outputs of both the
multiplier and the low-pass filter.

9. Run the simulation and observe both the modulated and demodulated
waveforms on the scope.

Observations:
A. Amplitude Modulation and Amplitude Demodulation

Result:
When the circuit of Amplitude modulator was simulated, an output modulated
waveform was obtained which consisted of the message signal modulated with
the carrier signal.

When the circuit of the envelope detector was simulated, the input was the
modulated signal and the output obtained was the original message signal which
was sine wave. This sine wave was the obtained output wave.
