Simulation of DSB-SC Modulation using MATLAB Simulink

Aim :
The aim of this experiment is to build a Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSB-SC)
modulated circuit for a continuous sinusoidal signal using MATLAB simulink and observe the
waveforms.

Equipment:

Circuit Model:

Figure 2: Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSBSC) Modulation

Procedure:
Given a continuous sinusoidal signal called modulating signal m(t) and a carrier signal c(t), we
can obtain a DSB-SC Amplitude modulated signal by following the expression
s(t)= c(t)*m(t).
Open the MATLAB, then click on ‘Simulink Library’ in tool bar to open it.

1. Create New Model.

2. Copy the blocks from Simulink library.
3. Click on blocks to enter the parameters (Shown in following Figures)
4. In Time based mode:
i) Consider modulating wave amplitude is 1 volt, frequency 50Hz, Sampling time is
0.00001sec
ii) Consider a carrier whose amplitude 1v, frequency 1 KHz and sampling time is
0.00001sec.
5. Save the Model.
6. Run the Model.
7. Finally click on Scope Block to see output waveforms.
 Output:

Result:
DSB-SC AM signal is generated and observed phase reversals at the zero crossings of in
the waveform.
