AIM: To Generate Amplitude Modulated Wave and Determine the Percentage
modulation.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
1. Amplitude Modulation and Demodulation Trainer
2. Function Generator
3. Oscilloscope
4. Connecting Wires

THEORY:
Modulation is defined as the process by which some characteristics of a carrier signal is
varied in accordance with a modulating signal. The base band signal is referred to as the
modulating signal and the output of the modulation process is called as the modulation signal.

Amplitude modulation is defined as the process in which is the amplitude of the carrier wave
is varied about a means values linearly with the base band signal. The envelope of the
modulating wave has the same shape as the base band signal provided the following two
requirements are satisfied

(1) The carrier frequency fc must be much greater then the highest frequency components fm
of the message signal m (t)
I.e. fc >> fm

(2) The modulation index must be less than unity. If the modulation index is greater than
unity, the carrier wave becomes over modulated

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 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.

PRECAUTIONS:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Apply the required voltages wherever needed.
3. Do not apply stress on the components.

RESULT:
Amplitude modulated wave generated and studied.
