AM Modulation and Demodulation
Introduction:
Amplitude modulation (AM) is one of the simplest methods for
modulating a sinusoidal carrier wave. The first use of AM for
transmission of voice signals by radio can be traced to the beginning
of the 20th century. Yet, AM continues to be used today in many
communication applications including broadcast radio, aircraft VHF
radios and two-way radios.
In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the carrier
wave is varied in proportion to the waveform being transmitted.
In general form, a modulation process of a sinusoidal carrier
wave may be described by the following equation
𝑆𝐴𝑀 (𝑡 ) = [𝐴𝑐 + 𝑚(𝑡 )] cos(2𝜋𝑓𝑐 𝑡 )
𝐴𝑐 represents amplitude of the carrier signal, 𝑓𝑐 frequency of the
carrier signal & 𝑚(𝑡 ) is the message signal.

Matlab Simulation
Part1

5- Use a Spectrum Analyzer to observe the frequency components of
the modulated signal, noting the presence of sidebands.

Discussion:
1- Discuss how varying the modulation index (ratio of message
amplitude to carrier amplitude) affects the modulation quality.
2- draw the spectrum of the SSBAM depending on the results.
3- what is AMDSB-SC?
4- Explain the BW for SSBAM.
