AM(Amplitude Modulation) Characteristics - ANSWER Amplitude changes(intel
is in amplitude), frequency stays the same
Contains:
a. Original Carrier Frequency
b. Modulation Signal
c. Sum of the carrier and modulation signal
d. Difference of the carrier and modulating signals
AM Receiver is made of: - ANSWER 1.) RF Section
2.) Mixer
3.) LO
4.) IF Amplifier
5.) AM Detector
6.) AGC(Automatic Gain Control)
7.) AF Amplifier
AGC(Automatic Gain Control) - ANSWER Automatically controls amplitude
increase from original input to amplified output.
Eliminates fluctuations in the output when the RF input varies.
Modulation Percentage Formula - ANSWER % Mod = (Vmax - Vmin)/(Vmax +
Vmin) x 100
, Heterodyning - ANSWER Changes a signal's frequency, WITHOUT changing the
signal's intelligence.
Heterodyned Signals - ANSWER Contain:
1.) Original RF Signal
2.) Orginal LO Signal
3.) Sum of the RF and LO signals
4.) Difference of the RF and LO signals
Mixer - ANSWER Mixes the carrier signal and LO signal to produce IF.
IF(Intermediate Frequency) - ANSWER Always 455 kHz in AM receivers.
Always 10.7 MHz in FM receivers.
Synthesized Tuning - ANSWER Uses a lower reference frequency (usually from
a PLL) to create a wide range of high frequencies.
PLL(Phase Locked Loop) - ANSWER A circuit that constantly adjusts to match an
input frequency.
Helps filter noise.
A PLL is made of: - ANSWER 1.) Phase Detector
2.) Frequency counter/divider
3.) VCO
4.) Loop Filter
