    Project 3: FM Modulation and Demodulation

    Uploaded by

    Erman Al Hakim
    This document provides instructions for Project 3 of the ECE 460 course, which involves FM modulation and demodulation. Students are asked to: 1) Use Simulink blocks to modulate a baseband signal into an FM signal, observe the waveform and spectrum, and compare spectral values to theory. 2) Demodulate the FM signal using a Simulink block and observe the output, then add noise and determine the SNR at which distortion occurs. 3) Design a frequency discriminator demodulator and compare its performance in noise to the Simulink demodulator. The document also asks students to attempt improving the Simulink demodulator's performance.

    Project 3: FM Modulation and Demodulation


    Write up the results of this project in the format of a lab report. Clearly state each step, show your models and results, along with the answers to any of the questions. Be sure to include all of the waveform and spectrum plots. Waveform plots should show approximately 3 - 4 cycles of the baseband signal. Spectrum plots should have a resolution of 2 Hz and be expanded so that the component frequencies can be identified. Put your student ID number along with your name on the cover sheet. In this project you will create an FM signal and demodulate it using two different methods. Throughout the project, you will use a baseband signal, x(t), that is based on your student ID number. Assuming that your student ID number is of the form: ABC-DEF-GHI Use a baseband signal:
    x (t ) = G cos ( 200 Ht )

    If any of the values (G or H) are zero use a 5 instead. The carrier will have a frequency of 20KHz and amplitude of 1. Part A. FM Modulation Use the FM Modulator (Communications Systems Toolbox, Modulation, Analog Passband Modulation library) to generate an FM signal with = 2. Note that the Frequency Deviation parameter in the Simulink block is the frequency deviation constant, kf. Use a Scope and a Spectrum Scope to observe the FM waveform and spectrum. Set the Spectrum Scope to display the one sided spectrum in Watts. Compare the spectral values displayed to the expected values based on the Bessel function. Part B. FM Demodulation Method 1 Use the Simulink FM Demodulator Passband to demodulate this signal. Observe the waveform and the spectrum of the demodulator output to confirm that the correct output is obtained. Part C. FM Demodulation Method 1 with Noise Insert the AWGN Channel block between the modulator and demodulator (Communications Systems Toolbox, Channels library). Set the SNR (Signal to Noise ratio) to 100. Make sure to correctly indicate the input signal power. This block simulates the noise that would occur on an actual communications link. With an SNR of 100dB the output of the demodulator should match your results from part B. Increase the noise by decreasing the SNR. At what SNR do to you begin to see distortion on the demodulated waveform? Double the value of your frequency deviation constant (in both the

    modulator and demodulator) and re-run the simulation. How does this affect the distortion that was present? Part D. FM Demodulation Method 2 Return the modulator and demodulator to your original frequency deviation constant. Design and implement a frequency discriminator to demodulate the FM signal. Test your demodulator with the SNR set to 100dB to confirm that it works properly. Note that you may have a DC offset that is fine. Reduce the SNR and observe the output of the Simulink demodulator and your demodulator. Which is most affected by the lower SNR? Compare their performance. Part D. Improving the Simulink Demodulator By observing the output waveform and the spectra of both the Simulink demodulator and your demodulator, can you determine a method for improving the performance of the Simulink demodulator in noise? Modify the system as needed and show that the performance has improved.
