Experimental procedure: Simulation <strong>of</strong> an AM signal in Pspice requires three<br />

sinusoidal wave generators, with parameters shown below. These are then applied to a<br />

summing operational amplifier. The parameters are set up so as to achieve an AM<br />

wave with 50% modulation and a 1MHz carrier signal modulated by a 5kHz<br />

modulating signal, see Fig. 2 below. Therefore the bandwidth will be 10kHz. The<br />

amplitude <strong>of</strong> V1 is set to 1V (Em) and the value for V2 and V3 is given by:<br />

m =<br />

Em − Ec<br />

Em + Ec<br />

= 0.5<br />

0.5(Em+Ec)=Em-Ec<br />

1.5Ec=0.5<br />

Ec=0.33<br />

The phase is set to 90 as to achieve a cosine waveform as stated in the expression for<br />

the instantaneous amplitude <strong>of</strong> the carrier signal.<br />
