    AIM: To Demodulate the Amplitude modulated wave using envelope detector.
    APPARATUS REQUIRED:
    1. Amplitude Modulation and Demodulation Trainer
    2. Function Generator
    3. Oscilloscope
    4. Connecting Wires

    THEORY:
    Demodulation is the act of extracting the original information-bearing signal from a
    modulated carrier wave. A demodulator is an electronic circuit (or computer program in a
    software-defined radio) that is used to recover the information content from the modulated
    carrier wave. There are many types of modulation so there are many types of demodulators.
    The signal output from a demodulator may represent sound (an analog audio signal), images
    (an analog video signal) or binary data (a digital signal).

    These terms are traditionally used in connection with radio receivers, but many other systems
    use many kinds of demodulators. For example in a modem, which is a contraction of the
    terms modulator/demodulator. a demodulator is used to extract a serial digital data stream
    from a carrier signal which is used to carry it through a telephone line, coaxial cable, or
    optical fiber

    There are two methods used to demodulate AM signals.

    The envelope detector is a very simple method of demodulation. It consists of a rectifier


    (anything that will pass current in one direction only) or other non-linear that enhances one
    half of the received signal over the other, and a low-pass filter. The rectifier may be in the
    form of a single diode, or may be more complex. Many natural substances exhibit this
    rectification behavior, which is why it was the earliest modulation and demodulation
    technique used in radio. The filter is usually a RC low-pass type, but the filter function can
    sometimes be achieved by relying on the limited frequency response of the circuitry
    following the rectifier. The crystal set exploits the simplicity of AM modulation to produce a
    receiver with very few parts, using the crystal as the rectifier, and the limited frequency
    response of the headphones as the filter.

    The product detector multiplies the incoming signal by the signal of a local oscillator with the
    same frequency and phase as the carrier of the incoming signal. After filtering, the original
    audio signal will result. This method will decode both AM and SSB, although if the phase
    cannot be determined a more complex setup is required.

    An AM signal can be rectified without requiring a coherent demodulator. For example, the
    signal can be passed through an envelope detector (a diode rectifier and a low-pass filter).
    The output will follow the same curve as the input baseband signal.

    PROCEDURE:
    1. Switch on the trainer and check the O/P of carrier generator on oscilloscope.
    2. Connect 1 KHz with 2 Volts A.F signal at AF I/P to the modulator circuit.
    3. Connect the carrier signal at carrier I/P of modulator circuit.
    4. Observe the modulator output signal at AM O/P Spring by making necessary changes in
    A.F. Signal.
    5. Vary the modulating frequency and amplitude and observe the effects on the modulated
    waveform.
    6. The depth of modulation can be varied using the variable knob (potentiometer) provided at
    A.F. input.
    7. The percentage of modulation or modulation factor can be calculated using the following
    formulas.

    8. Find the value of R from fm=1/ (2*Pi*R*C) , C=0.1μF


    9. Connect the circuit diagram as shown in Fig.
    10. Feed the AM wave to the demodulator circuit and observe the output
    11. Note down frequency and amplitude of the demodulated output waveform.
    12. Draw the demodulated wave form.
