You are to write a program to achieve the objectives of this section of the assignment, 2. MATLAB ic recommended however you may not use » MATLAB toolbox, aor are you to uusea simulation package. 3. You may obtsin FFT code from mother source or use the MATLAB FFT fimction. All other code should be extizely your owa work. You must not collaborate with any ocber student. Any high level programming language is acceptable, providing it has graphing facilites. tall be necessary to sample all waveforms at regular instants of ime. It wll be easier to ‘compute the spectrum ifthe namber of samples per eyele is apower-of-wo. 6. The carrier frequency is 1600 Hz. Note that there are two cycles of camier per symbol, so the baud rate (symbol rat) is hence 800 symbols per second. The duration of each symbol. fr segment of carer, is therefore 1.25 ms. Any waveforms which do not comply with these parameters nat therefere be incorrect. 7. Tocheck and calibrate the FFT algorithm you are using. supply it with along duration 4160) Hz sinusoidal signl, and observe the output. This should allow yeu to check the frequency scale ‘8, The spectrum of the modulator output should show the lequency range from DC to 6400 Hz. You may present additional plots with different frequency scales if you think it necessary. 9. From the nature of the signal a the modulator output you should have some idea what to expect in the frequency spectrum Ask youself: What is the repetition rate of the time waveforms, aad what effect will this have inthe frequency domain? What is the ‘frequency spectrum of the rectangular pulses applied to the product modulators, and Ihow will this affact the spectrum af the modulator ouput? Remember that a product ‘modulator produces a double sideband suppressed carrer output. ve
