You are free to choose the frequency and magnitude of the carrier and message signals. The am diode detector is an envelope detector it provides an output of the envelope of the signal. To test this circuit first use the same modulated signal you used in the simple diode envelope detector example. The circuit demodulates an am dsbfc signal using a diode half wave rectifier followed by an rc circuit. The coherent detection method is used for demodulation.
The main advantage of this form of am demodulator is that it is very simple and cheap. Its purpose is to remove any radio frequency components of the signal at the output. But the term demodulation tends to be used more widely when referring to the process of extracting the modulation from the signal. Es442 lab 4 amplitude modulation and demodulation i. Restoring or recovering the message signal from the received modulated waveform that is generally corrupted by noise types of am detectors. The am diode detector offers simplicity and low cost.
The advantage of adding the carrier to the message, which allows the use of a simple envelope detector, comes at the expense of increasing the power in the transmitted signal compared to the power of the suppressedcarrier am. As such the diode detector or demodulator is able to provide an output proportional to the amplitude of the envelope of the amplitude modulated signal. A simpler and lowercost approach is to use a leaky peak detector, i. This envelope detector consists of a diode and low pass filter. Without trying to over complicate things, an envelope detector is generally thought of as only applying to dsb and only when the modulation depth is less than 100%.
The diode rectifies the rf to produce a half wave of the rf which has an average value equal to the modulation signal.
