Simulate a Source Sep. 23, 2010

Source Modulator

Channel


 Produces message signal … e.g. a simple Sine wave



Generate message signal (simple sine wave)
m( t ) = Vm sin ( 2πf mt )

 Define time instants (1000 sample points)
tmin = 0; tmax = 10^(-3); step = (tmax-tmin)/1000;
t = tmin:step:tmax;

 Define amplitude and frequency (initial phase is zero)
Vm = 1; % Amplitude
fm = 2*10^3; % Frequency

 Construct the Signal
m = Vm*sin(2*pi*fm*t);

 View the Signal
plot(t,m,'r');



Complete MATLAB Script [Prog1.m]

t = tmin:step:tmax;
fm = 2*10^3;
Vm = 1;
plot(t,m,'r');



Assignment #1 [Prog2.m], [Prog3.m]

 What happens if there is an initial phase?
phi_deg = 45;
phi_rad = phi_deg*pi/180;
m = Vm*sin(2*pi*fm*t+phi_rad);

 What happens if the message is not sinusoidal?
tmin = 0; tmax = 1; step = (tmax-tmin)/1000;
t = tmin:step:tmax;
f = 2;
m = sawtooth(2*pi*f*t);
plot(t,m,'r');

 Built-in functions are available (ammod, amdemod etc.)
 WYSIWYG?? No


Amplitude Modulation Sep. 23, 2010

Simulate with built-in functions [Prog4.m]
fs = 8000; % Sampling rate is 8000 samples per second
fc = 300; % Carrier frequency in Hz
t = [0:0.1*fs]'/fs; % Sampling times for 0.1 second
m = sin(20*pi*t); % Representation of the signal
v = ammod(m,fc,fs); % Modulate m to produce v

figure(1)
subplot(2,1,1); plot(t,m); % Plot m on top
subplot(2,1,2); plot(t,v); % Plot v below

mr = amdemod(v,fc,fs); % Demodulate v to produce m

figure(2);
subplot(2,1,1); plot(t,m); % Plot m on top
subplot(2,1,2); plot(t,mr); % Plot mr below

Don’t have the feel??? …. Try this

 Define message signal, m( t ) = Vm sin ( 2πf m t ) (as done earlier)

t = tmin:step:tmax;
Vm = 1;
fm = 2*10^3;

 Define carrier, c( t ) = Vc sin ( 2πf c t )

Vc = 2; % Amplitude
fc = 10^4; % Frequency
c = Vc*sin(2*pi*fc*t); % Carrier signal



Continued ….
 Vm 
 Modulate the Signal, v( t ) = Vc 1 + sin ( 2πf mt )  sin ( 2πf c t )
 Vc 
v = (1+m/Vc).*c; % DSB-FC modulation

 View Modulated Wave

plot(t,v); % Modulated Wave
hold on;
plot(t,Vc*(1+m/Vc),'r:'); % Upper Envelope
hold on;
plot(t,-Vc*(1+m/Vc),'r:'); % Lower Envelope
hold off ;



Complete MATLAB Script [Prog5.m]

clear all; close all; clc;
t = tmin:step:tmax; % Time
Vm = 1; Vc = 2; % Amplitude
fm = 2*10^3; fc = 10^4; % Frequency

m = Vm*sin(2*pi*fm*t); % Message
c = Vc*sin(2*pi*fc*t); % Carrier
v = (1+m/Vc).*c; % Modulated Wave

plot(t,v); hold on;
plot(t,Vc*(1+m/Vc),'r:'); hold on; % Upper Envelope
plot(t,-Vc*(1+m/Vc),'r:'); hold off % Lower Envelope



Assignment #2 [Prog6.m]

 How to view effect of changing modulation index?
t = tmin:step:tmax;
Vm = 1; mu = 1.5; Vc = Vm/mu;
fm = 2*10^3; fc = 10^4;

c = Vc*sin(2*pi*fc*t);
v = (1+m/Vc).*c;

plot(t,v); hold on;
plot(t,Vc*(1+m/Vc),'r:'); hold on;
plot(t,-Vc*(1+m/Vc),'r:'); hold off



Assignment #2 (Contd…) [Prog7.m]

 How to simulate DSB-SC modulation?
t = tmin:step:tmax;
Vm = 2; Vc = 1;
fm = 2*10^3; fc = 10^4;

v = m.*c;

plot(t,v); hold on;
plot(t,m,'r:'); hold on;
plot(t,-m,'r:'); hold off


Demodulation Sep. 23, 2010

Demodulate DSB-SC with filter [Prog8.m]
tmin = 0; tmax = 1; step = (tmax-tmin)/(10^3);
t = tmin:step:tmax;
Vm = 2; Vc = 1;
fm = 2; fc = 10^2;

v = m.*c;

r = v.*c;

[b a] = butter(1,0.01);
mr = filter(b,a,r);

figure(1)
subplot(2,1,1); plot(t,m);
subplot(2,1,2); plot(t,mr);



Ideal Demodulation of DSB-SC [Prog9.m]
fs = 10^5; N = 10^5;
t = 1/fs:1/fs:N/fs;
fm = 2; fc = 10^3;
m = sin(2*pi*fm*t);
c = sin(2*pi*fc*t);
v = m.*c;

r = zeros(1,N); n =f s/fc;
for k = 1:fc
mr((k-1)*n+1:k*n) = 2*v((k-1)*n+1:k*n)*c((k-1)*n+1:k*n)'/n;
end

subplot(2,1,2); plot(t,mr);

n = sqrt(vn)*randn(1,N);
v = v + n;

r=zeros(1,N); n=fs/fc;
for k=1:fc
mr((k-1)*n+1:k*n)=2*v((k-1)*n+1:k*n)*c((k-1)*n+1:k*n)'/n;
