    This document describes the steps to construct a simple AM transmitter and measure its percent modulation. [1] The circuit uses an XR-2206 IC to generate a 100kHz carrier signal. [2] A second stage adds amplitude modulation using a potentiometer to control the bias on transistor Q2. [3] Testing shows the circuit achieves around 40% modulation, as increasing the potentiometer further does not increase modulation due to capacitance limitations in the transistor amplifier.

    Introduction

    In this experiment ,you will construct a 100KHZ sine wave signal source. You’ll then constant an RF
    amplifier and modulator stage. Next, you’ll vary the degree of modulation and measure the percent of
    modulation.

    Procedure

    1. Turn on the ET-3100 Experimenter and, using your DC voltmeter adjust the positive power
    supply to +12VDC. Turn off the experimenter.
    2. Mount the XR -2206 integrated circuit on the bread boarding socket .position it to either the left
    or right side of the socket to allow room for the AM transmitter .Be sure the IC is seated firms
    straddling the notch in the socket, and that none of the pins bent.
    3. Wire the circuit shown in Figure 1B. The pin connection for the XR-2206CP are shown in Figure
    1A.
    4. Connect your oscilloscope to the circuit output. Set the vertical input control to 1 volt /cm and
    the sweep control to 2µs/cm. Turn on the experimenter.
    5. Adjust the trigger controls for a stable oscilloscope display. What type of wave form appears at
    the output?

    6.Measure the period of the output wave and calculate the frequency.

    Period=

    Frequency=

    7.Turn of the experimenter and read the following discussion.


    Discussion

    In this part of experiment. You wired the carrier oscillator for the AM transmitter.in step 5, you should
    have written that the output waveform is a sine wave.The period, which is determinate by the 0.001µf
    capacitor and 10kΩ resistor, should be approximately 10µs. The frequency is therefore 100 KH . This is,
    of course , affected by the tolerance of the capacitor and resistor.

    The XR-2206 is a multipurpose function generator chip that is used throughout the course. It has sine,
    square , and triangle wave outputs .it can also amplitude modulated and frequency modulated .you will
    be using many of these functions later in the course.

    Procedure (continued)

    8. Wire the circuit of Figure 2 being sure to connect the XR-2206 Circuit to it as shown. Use the
    experimenter’s 100kΩ potentiometer for R1. Set the experimenter ’s generator the low range and the
    frequency knob fully counterclockwise or to 200 Hz.

    9. connect your oscilloscope to the AM output. Set the vertaical input to 2v/cm and the sweep to
    2ms/cm. set R1 to mid- range.
    10. The circuit of Fig 2 is an AM transmitter. What type of modulation

    is being used?

    Transistor Q1 is the transmitter’s and Q2 IS the

    Potentiometer R1 controls

    11.Turn on the experimenter and adjust the oscilloscope trigger controls for a stable display. If you
    cannot obtain a stable display you can use the experimenter’s square wave output as an external trigger
    source for the oscilloscope.

    12. With potentiometer R1 at mid-range,measre the percent of modulation.

    %Modulation=

    13.Adjust R1 clockwise to 100% modulation with this circuit? If not, why

    14. At this point you may wish to vary the modulating frequency and amplitude and observe the effects
    on the modulated wave form.

    15.Turn off your experimenter and disassemble the AM transmitter.Do not disassemble theXR-2206
    100kHZ source as it is used in experiment2.
    Discussion

    In the AM transmitter of fig 2 series modulation is being used. Transistor Q1 is the RF amplifier and Q2 is
    the modulator. Potentiometer RI CONTROLS THE PERCENT OF MODULATION. In this step12’the percent
    of modulation is approximately:

    %modulation= E max – Emin

    Emax + E min

    =40%

    In this step 13, it is not possible to obtain 100% modulation with this circuit this is because the full
    modulation through cannot be reached. This is due to the RF amplifier’s junction capacitance which
    allows RF to feed through to the output when the transistor is normally shut off. As ,mentioned in the
    next, this problem can be solved by modulating the driver as well as the final amplifier.
