TASK 1:
Double Side Band Modulation:

Output: 1) Scope:

2) Spectrum Analyzer:

a) Vary the carrier frequency to 10 kHz. Changing the carrier frequency will result in number of outputs. Some carrier frequencies are usable while others are not. The carrier frequencies of i. 1k, 2k and 9k form the modulated spectrum at 1k. (Shown above) ii. 3k and 5k form the modulated spectrum at 3k. (Figure 1) iii. 6k and 7k form the modulated spectrum at 2k. (Figure 2) iv. The modulated spectrum of 4k and 8k is distorted. (Figure 3)

b) Vary the modulating frequency and amplitude Varying the amplitude of modulating wave will result in change of modulation index. The increase in amplitude will increase the modulation index hence causing over modulation. Results at various amplitudes are show below: (for all carrier amp. is 1)
i) Amplitude=4

ii)

Amplitude=6

iii)

Amplitude=8

Changing the modulating frequency causes considerable changes. Amplitude of the sidebands increase with the increase in freq. Results at various amplitudes are show below: (for all carrier freq. is 1k)
i. Modulating Freq.=200Hz

ii.

Modulating Freq.=300Hz

iii.

Modulating Freq.=500Hz

c) Change the carrier signal to a square wave.

d) Change the modulating signal to a square wave

Demodulation:

Here the LPF (Digital filter design) is designed to let only 100Hz (i.e. the frequency of the modulated signal) pass and block all other freqs.
