ANALYSIS
In this experiment, students were tasked to verify the process of amplitude
modulation. The ideas presented during the discussion were shown to be of application,
an example of this would be the modulation of a carrier frequency by the modulating
signal. For Activity 1, the group was tasked to see the output signals by using the
multiplier and adder operations. With this, the group noticed that the amplitude of the
sidebands were approximately the same. The modulating frequency does not affect the
carrier frequency, on the other hand, the amplitude of the modulating frequency is
affected by the carrier frequency.
For the demodulation process, the modulating signal is reverted back to its
original form with the use of a demodulator. The activity has showed the group that a
capacitor in a circuit affects the number of frequencies. Initially, when the capacitor was
removed, a number of frequencies were present namely the 5, 20, 40, and 60khz, upon
returning this capacitor, the number of frequencies were reduced to the Sideband and
Carrier Frequencies. This idea proved to be helpful, as it was necessary to reduce the
number of frequencies to promote efficiency in the use of power, we can then say that
the capacitor acted as a filter.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the researchers were able to verify the process of amplitude
modulation through the rigorous activities presented in the manual. The results proved
to be an accurate representation to the application of the theoretical understanding of
the modulation of signals. The experiment was also an aid in the concept of
demodulation; this gave a brief understanding on the effects of a filter.
