Lab9: Signal Encoding Techniques Coding and Error Control Lab 9.1: Amplitude Modulation (AM) Learning Objectives Upon completion of this lab, students will be able to: - Generate an amplitude-modulated signal and display it on oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer - Analyze the time domain and frequency domain of a generated AM signal Equipment Required A computer with Multisim installed Within Multisim use: Agilent Function Generator Tektronix Oscilloscope Spectrum Analyzer Procedure 1. Set up the modules as shown in Figure 9.1 and power up the equipment. Figure 9.1 Suggested Module Arrangement 2. Connect the OUTPUT of the Function Generator to the oscilloscope input (CH1) 3. Make the following adjustments: On the Function Generator: FUNCTION : OUTPUT FREQUENCY : Set to 5 kHz OUTPUT LEVEL : 2Vpp Using Shift function, select AM , as shown in figure 9.2: Figure 9.2 Function Generator Setup 4. Using Shift function, select the Modulation Frequency , as shown in figure 9.3: Figure 9.3 5. Using Shift function, select the Level ( depth), as shown in figure 9.4: Figure 9.4 6. Figure 9.5 shows both the low frequency modulating signal and the high frequency carrier waveform. Page 1 of 7
Lab9: Signal Encoding Techniques Coding and Error Control Figure 9.5 7. As you slowly increase the percentage modulation, by changing the Level (depth), the oscilloscope trace changes. Figure 9.6 shows the different levels of modulation. Figure 9.6 8. If you keep on increasing the modulation index, an over modulation occurs. This happens when the amplitude of the modulating signal becomes greater than the amplitude of the carrier signal. Figure 9.7 shows the results. Figure 9.7 9. Adjust the MODULATION Level at 20% 80, 100% at Function generator and calculate the modulation index. Click button “Cursor” in 2 nd row from top in Oscilloscope. Choose Type “Voltage” and Source CH1.Use Cursor1 and Cursor2 to find A max and A min Figure 9.8 a. 20% modulation i. Take SS#1 of Oscilloscope and paste in the designated space in the Lab Worksheet j. Calculate the modulation index n 20 and write in in the designated space in the Lab Worksheet N20 = 600-400 / 600 + 400 = 20% Page 2 of 7
Lab9: Signal Encoding Techniques Coding and Error Control b. 80% modulation i. Take SS#2 of Oscilloscope and paste in the designated space in the Lab Worksheet ii. Calculate the modulation index n 80 and write in in the designated space in the Lab Worksheet N80 = 917 – 127 / 917+127 =75% Appro c. 100% modulation i. Take SS#2 of Oscilloscope and paste in the designated space in the Lab Worksheet ii. Calculate the modulation index n 100 and write in in the designated space in the Lab Worksheet N100 = 1-0/1+0 = 1 10. Disonnect the oscilloscope but keep the settings on the Function Generator as above. Attach the Function Generator to the Spectrum Analyzer : Set up Spectrum Analyzer as shown below: a. Take Take SS#4 of Spectrum Analyzer for 20% modulation and paste in the designated space in the Lab Worksheet b. Take Take SS#5 of Spectrum Analyzer for 80% modulation and paste in the designated space in the Lab Worksheet c. Take Take SS#6 of Spectrum Analyzer for 100% modulation and paste in the designated space in the Lab Worksheet Question 1: Comment on the dispalys that you obtain for each modulation index. Write Answer in the designated space in the Lab Worksheet Question 2: What is Single Sideband AM? What is the advantage of SSB? Single-sideband modulation (SSB) or single-sideband suppressed-carrier modulation (SSB-SC) is a type of modulation used to send information across radio waves, such as an audio transmission. It is a refinement of amplitude modulation that makes better use of transmitter power and bandwidth. Question 3: What is Vestigial sideband and what are its characteristics and benefits? Vestigial sideband (VSB) modulation is a technology used in broadcasting, namely in television systems. It entails splitting a signal's frequency spectrum into two parts: a main carrier and a vestigial sideband. The main carrier carries the majority of the signal power and represents the real data being carried, whereas the vestigial sideband contains less power and serves as a reference signal for synchronization and demodulation. VSB has the following characteristics: Page 3 of 7
