Task 1:
Comments on the each line of the above codes
Task 2:
Experiment with different modulation indices. Change the message signal frequency (fm) and observe
how it affects the Upper SSB modulated signal. Discuss the impact of the modulation index on the
spectral characteristics.
Task 3:
Compare the Upper SSB modulated signal with the Lower SSB modulated signal. Discuss the
differences in their spectra, bandwidth, and demodulation processes. Experiment with different
carrier signal polarities and observe the results.
