1)The AM rectifier: is a device used to convert alternating current (AC) signals into direct current (DC) using
an electrical circuit. Its operation relies on the rotation of alternating current, where this AC is transformed
into direct current using the main circuit elements.
1. **Transformer:** The transformer is used to convert the voltage from the incoming AC to a level
suitable for operating the subsequent bridge rectifier.
2. **Bridge Rectifier:** This component converts AC into DC by directing the current in one direction
only.
3. **Capacitor:** Used to smooth the DC output from the bridge rectifier, storing energy and reducing
voltage fluctuations.
4. **Resistor:** Resistors may be used to enhance the stability of the DC when needed.
These elements work together to transform AC into stable DC that can be used in a wide range of applications,
such as powering electronic devices.
2)The peak detector in the AM circuit based on AD633: is used to detect the maximum value of an
alternating current (AC) signal, relying on the operational principles of the circuit components to determine
this value. Here is an explanation of the peak detector's operation:
1. **AD633 (Voltage Multiplier):** The AD633 amplifies and multiplies the AC signal, contributing to the
determination of the signal's maximum value.
2. **Comparator:** A comparator is used to compare the multiplied signal with a reference value. When
the level of the multiplied signal exceeds the reference value, a change in the circuit occurs.
3. **Capacitor:** Used to smooth the signal and reduce rapid fluctuations, making the detector more
stable.
4. **Logic Circuit:** Converts the detector signal into a logical signal (usually a digital signal) to indicate
the presence or absence of a peak.
These components work together to operate the peak detector in the AM circuit based on AD633, allowing for
precise and effective determination of peak signal values.
3)Define the tow parameters E and β:
a
E= . Am = (98/102)*100=96.07
b
β=b. Ap = 102*200=0.51
Under modulation (β=0.51 and a=98<b=102)
4)To achieve good envelope detection: (i.e., effectively removing modulation), the following condition
must be satisfied:
**Nyquist Criterion:**The sampling rate used for the detection process must be greater than twice the
highest frequency in the sampled signal. This means that the sampling rate should be higher than twice the
highest frequency in the signal being processed.
Yes ,investigator: if the highest frequency in the signal is 1kHz, the sampling rate should be greater than
100kHz samples per second to meet the Nyquist criterion and avoid issues like aliasing that could affect
detection quality and introduce interference.
