    LAB# 05: Implementation of AM Receiver on

    USRP Kit.
    Objectives

    In this lab you are required to implement AM receiver to demodulate the


    signal transmitted by the AM transmitter VI on a USRP using LabVIEW
    software. You are required to know the following concepts of LabVIEW:
    • Front Panel
    • Block Diagram
    • Construct a VI
    • MathScript Node
    • While Loop
    Pre-Lab Tasks:
    3. Software Defined Radio Fundamentals:
    Amplitude modulation or AM as it is often called, is a form of modulation used
    for radio transmissions for broadcasting and two-way radio communication
    applications.
    One of the key reasons for the use of amplitude modulation was its ease of use.
    The system simply required the carrier amplitude to be modulated, but more
    usefully the detector required in the receiver could be a simple diode-based
    circuit. This meant that AM radios did not need 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
    DSB Modulation

    DSB Demodulation
    Single sideband, SSB: Single sideband is widely used for HF communications. It is
    formed by taking a signal that has the carrier and one sideband removed. In this way it
    becomes far more efficient in terms of both spectrum and power.

    Quadrature amplitude modulation, QAM: This form of modulation is essentially


    derived from two carriers that are 90° out of phase and adding information, either analogue
    or digital. Quadrature Amplitude Modulation is widely used for carrying many digital
    signals, everything from Wi-Fi to Mobile phone communications and very much more.

    In-Lab Tasks:.
    Inputs:

    ➢ TX1: Active Antenna.


    ➢ Gain: 0
    ➢ IQ Rate (Sampling Frequency): 200kHz
    ➢ Carrier Frequency: 2GHz
    ➢
    Write your code (using either envelope detection, rectifier detection or coherent demodulation,
    depending on the type of modulation scheme used in Lab 12) in the MathScript Node

    Note: The broken lines must vanish and a solid line appear once your code is functional.
    Front Panel: Design a front panel using the knoweldge acquired in Labs 10 and 11.

    SOLUTION:
    2. Graph on u= 1
    1. Graph on u= 0.5

    Conclusion:
    In this lab we learned how to implement AM receiver to demodulate the signal transmitted by
    AM transmitter VI on a USRP using LabVIEW software. We make the block diagram of the receiver
    and write matlab code .After completing block diagram, we checked the signal at three different
    values.
    Single sideband is widely used for HF communications. It is formed by taking a signal that has the
    carrier and one sideband removed.
    QAM modulation is essentially derived from two carriers that are 90° out of phase and adding
    information, either analogue or digital.
