    In this lab experiment, students built an AM radio receiver circuit and tested it across multiple experiments. They measured gain and phase of opamps (Experiment 1). They generated an AM signal with a function generator and noticed the horizontal sweep enveloping the signal (Experiment 2). With the LC circuit, they calculated and measured resonant frequencies with the capacitor open and closed and found them to be close (Experiment 3). Finally, they observed the waveform of the AM radio by adjusting the variable capacitor to receive one station (Experiment 4). The summary concludes that the LC resonant circuit allows filtering of frequencies to receive the desired one.

    Experiment 1

    In this experiment, we used both inverting and non-inverting opamp. We measured the VPP and it
    was 5V. To calculate the gain, we had to measure first Vout and Vin. Both opamps had a phase of
    0. Our swing voltage was 26.7V. We also added a 1Ω resistor and got the maximum current of
    28.2mA.

    Figure 1: Schematic

    Inverting -1.04 2.48 -2.04 0
    Non-Inverting 2.12 7.60 3.06 0

    Experiment 2
    For this experiment, we set up the function generator with Amplitude = 10VPP, Carrier frequency
    = 1mHz, Modulation frequency = 500 Hz, Modulation index = 50%. As a result, we noticed that
    the horizontal sweep envelopes the AM signal.
    Experiment 3
    We tested the circuit with the capacitor both opened and closed. We started with the capacitor
    open. We calculated the resonant frequency for both open and closed using our measured
    capacitance and inductance (measured with the DMM). To calculate the resonant frequency, we
    used the equation,
    1
    𝑓0 = 2𝜋√𝐿𝐶.

    For this experiment, we had to test the circuit with the capacitor both closed and opened. First,
    we chose the capacitor to be open and then closed. We calculated the resonant frequency in each
    situation by using the capacitance and the inductance from the DMM. We used this equation
    1
    𝑓0 = 2𝜋√𝐿𝐶 to calculate the resonant frequency.

    (kHz) (kHz)
    Open 0.396 0.250 505 501
    Closed 0.203 0.250 704 697

    We noticed that the resonant frequency is the peak frequency. As soon as it passes the peak, the
    frequency becomes lower. Therefore, frequencies become higher until it passes the peak and then
    it falls. Our measured resonant frequency was very close to the calculated one.

    Experiment 4
    All we did in this experiment is observing the waveform of the AM radio. We set up the radio as
    shown in the schematic below. After building the circuit, we turned on our stereos to max
    volume and turned the variable capacitor. We only got 1 station out of it.

    Summary
    We saw that when we have high capacitance, we have less frequency and vice versa. We change
    the frequency by manipulating the capacitance. The LC resonant circuit allows us to filter out
    various frequencies, and only receive the one that we want.
