Project #: Experiment Design
Purpose:
The purpose of this project is to design an experimental procedure to evaluate the relative
performance of an AM radio. A report must be submitted documenting the experimental
procedure that has been designed. The report must be submitted as described below.
Requirements:
• to
develop a method
for measuring the
selectivity
of an AM radio. It is
suggested that the -6db point would be an appropriate measurement. Note that this
value is only a suggestion, and a different gain point (or points) can be selected if
deemed appropriate or necessary.
•
develop a method
for measuring the
sensitivity
of an AM radio.
• May specify the use of the function generators and other lab equipment
• Measurements are to be specified to be made at more than one carrier frequency in the
normal operating band of the radio.
• a report explaining the
detailed procedure
to be performed in the experiment.
Also, include a theoretical description of the underlying
communications theory
for the
various steps in the experimental procedure.
• report as a Microsoft Word file or a PDF file.
• Reports are to be in the E&CE, standard “Formal
Report” format.
