%% Defining the parameters

fs = 1000000; %sampling frequency

T = 1/fs; %sampling period
N = 10000; %length of the signal
t = (0:N-1)*T; %time vector
fm = 1000; %frequency of message signal (Hz)
fc = 10000; %frequency of carrier signal (Hz)
A = 1; %carrier amplitude

%% Defining message and carrier signal

message = sin(2*pi*fm*t); %message signal
carrier = sin(2*pi*fc*t); %carrier signal

m_size = size(message); % dimension of message signal

c_size = size(carrier); % dimension of carrier signal

%% Defining AM or DSB-LC signal

am_sig = message.*carrier + A*carrier; %AM signal

%% time-domain representation of the signals

%% message, carrier and am signal in the frequency domain

mess = fft(message); % fourier transform

carr = fft(carrier);
am = fft(am_sig);

mess_spec = fftshift(mess); %zero centered fft of message signal

carr_spec = fftshift(carr); %zero centered fft of carrier signal
am_spec = fftshift(am); %zero centered fft of DSB-SC signal
mess_mag_spec = abs(mess_spec)/N; %magnitude spectrum of message signal
carr_mag_spec = abs(carr_spec)/N; %magnitude spectrum of carrier signal
am_mag_spec = abs(am_spec)/N; %magnitude spectrum of DSB-SC signal

f_Hz = ((-N/2):(N/2-1))*(fs/N); % frequency axis range in Hz

f_normalized = f_Hz/fs; % frequency axis range in normalized frequency
