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.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
