 Lab 02: Introduction to LABVIEW & USRP
Objective:
In this lab we will learn to get familiar of AM implementation in LabVIEW.
Introduction:
Amplitude modulation or AM as it is often called, is a form of modulation used for radio tra
nsmissions for broadcasting and two way radio communication applications.

Although one of the earliest used forms of modulation it is still used today, mainly for long,
medium and short wave broadcasting and for some aeronautical point to point communicatio
ns.

One of the key reasons for the use of amplitude modulation was its ease of use. The system s
imply required the carrier amplitude to be modulated, but more usefully the detector require
d in the receiver could be a simple diode based circuit. This meant that AM radios did not ne
ed complicated demodulators and costs were reduced - a key requirement for widespread use
of radio technology, especially in the early days of radio when ICs were not available.

The following algorithm is commonly used to represent amplitude modulation

Gathering like terms and simplifying the equation leaves:

y(t)= {Ac + Am sin(2πf mt)} sin(2πf ct)

Conclusion:
In the end of the lab
 Perform simulations for Sub VI s
 Perform AM modulation using Math script Node and Notice the Carrier Signal and
Modulating Signal
 We got familiar with amplitude modulation.
 We learn the effect of over modulation and under modulation and how high frequency
carrier signal can be modulated into a low frequency signal called the modulated
signal.
