Experiment Name: Study of AM Transmitter.
Theory:
An AM (Amplitude Modulation) transmitter is an electronic device that is used to transmit
audio signals over long distances by modulating the amplitude of a high-frequency carrier
wave. The transmitter generates a high-frequency carrier wave, which is then modulated by
the audio signal to produce an AM signal that can be transmitted over the airwaves.

Fig 1.1: Basic Block Diagram of AM Transmitter.

The basic block diagram of an AM transmitter includes the following components;

Microphone: The microphone converts the sound waves into electrical signals. The
electrical signals are then amplified by the audio amplifier.
Audio Amplifier: The audio amplifier amplifies the electrical signals from the microphone
to a level that is suitable for modulating the carrier wave.
Modulator: The modulator combines the audio signal with a high-frequency carrier wave,
which results in the amplitude of the carrier wave being modulated in proportion to the audio
signal. The modulated carrier wave is then passed to the RF amplifier.
RF Amplifier: The RF amplifier amplifies the modulated carrier wave to a higher power
level that is suitable for transmission over the airwaves. The amplified signal is then passed
to the antenna.
Antenna: The antenna radiates the amplified modulated signal into the air, which can then
be picked up by an AM radio receiver.

Discussion & Conclusion:
In this lab, we studied the basic operation of an AM transmitter. We began by understanding
the fundamental concepts of amplitude modulation and how it can be used to transmit audio
signals over long distances.
We observed that the output of the microphone was a low-level signal, which needed to be
amplified before it could be used to modulate the carrier wave. The audio amplifier was used
to amplify the signal to a level that was suitable for modulating the carrier wave. We also
learned that the modulator was responsible for combining the audio signal with the carrier
wave, resulting in the amplitude of the carrier wave being modulated in proportion to the
audio signal. The modulated signal was then passed to the RF amplifier, which amplified the
signal to a higher power level that was suitable for transmission over the airwaves. Finally,
the amplified signal was radiated into the air using the antenna.
Through this lab, we gained a deeper understanding of the principles of AM transmission.
This knowledge is essential in the field of telecommunications.
Overall, this lab was a success, and we were able to observe the transmission of audio signals
over the airwaves using the AM transmitter.
