Urgent Help with AM Modulator Circuit - Resistor Value Assistance Needed

AI Thread Summary
An AM modulator circuit is needed for a university exhibition, but the provided diagram lacks specific resistor values. The circuit requires a 1 MHz oscillator, and the RC time is crucial for proper modulation. Suggestions include using a 4093 or 40106 Schmitt trigger to create the necessary signal, as they provide hysteresis and can convert voltage levels effectively. A 4051 multiplexer is also mentioned as a potential component for handling multiple inputs, although it is not a full multiplexer. Understanding amplitude modulation is essential, as it allows for communication by varying the amplitude of a carrier wave at a specific frequency.

urgent help with AM modulator

hello friends;
we have an exhibition in my university.my seniors asked me to make a AM modulator circuit to demonstrate AM modulation.They also provided me a circuit diagram of a AM modulator(level 4 lab sheet),But in that diagram some resistor values are not mentioned.I don't know how to calculate them because AM modulation is will be taught in next year and I have no idea about AM modulation.(I'm a level 2 student)


I'm attaching the diagram I have,Can some one take a look at it and help me to find missing values

PS
I have only today to make this circuit so quick help would be great

You need a 1 megahertz oscilator. The most important part is the RC-time.
A quick stand in can also be a 4093 or a 40106 Smittrigger. An inverter makes a 0 to 1 and a one to zero. The smittrigger does this in a very special way. It has hysteresis.
I think a smitttrigger (v=5 volt) goes off at 2,32 volt and goes on at 2,3.
At the input of the smittrigger comes a triangle voltage betwee these to vaulues. at the output comes a full swing of nearly 5 volt.

A very nice way could be a 4051, which can bring a input to one of eight channels.
It is not the requested A type full multiplexer, but it can bring a B type Amplitude modulation...
 


ok didnt understand a bit
 


Amplitude modulation is a way of communication. An oscilator of a certain frequency, in your case a 1 megahertz block switches form zero volt to 5 volt one million times a second.

A function with a frequency slower than this block (50 hertz<sound?<10.000 hertz) is to be communicated. If you sample the wave with the oscilator you get a function of changing amplitude. This signal can be transmitted. At the other side there is a receiver which can tune to 1 mehahertz. The receiver connects the samples with little lines (as you do when you draw graphs) physically this means filtering the 1 megahertz out of the signal and the receiver has the original sound.

For telefone things it is also usefull to have different calls through one line. The 4051 can make eight different call's through one line.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
