MAKING THE AERIAL

• CENTRE A PIECE OF CARD AROUND THE FERRITE ROD

• WIND THE COPPER WIRE AROUND THE INSULATING TAPE APPROXIMATELY 55 TURNS THE WINDING SHOULD MEASURE 25MM

• SECURE IT WITH INSULATING TAPE ON BOTH ENDS WITH THE WIRE COMING OUT TO THE SIDES

POSITION

CONSTRUCTION OF RECIEVER CIRCUIT BOARD

• ATTACH THE CONNECTING WIRES TO THE HEADPHONES SOCKET

• ATTACH THE HEADPHONES SOCKET TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD THEN SOLDER THE WIRES

• SOLDER THE AERIAL IN PLACE (REMOVE ENAMELLED COATING FROM WIRE FIRST)

• ATTACH THE AA BATTERY HOLDER TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD THEN SOLDER THE WIRES

AM TRANSMISSION DEMO

• OSCILLOSCOPE• FUNCTION GENERATOR• WIRE AERIAL• AM RADIO RECEIVER

EQUIPMENT USED FOR THE AM TRANSMISSION DEMO

DEMONSTRATION

• ALL SYSTEMS CONNECTED AND RESULTS OBTAINED

• TWO RADIO STATIONS RECEIVED• POSITIVE AMPLICATION OF THE RECEIVED

SOUND WITHOUT DISTORTION

RESULTS OF THE DEMOINSTEAD OF JUST HEARING ABOUT THE

PROCESS OF DEMODULATION THIS PROCESS GAVE THE GROUP OPPORTUNITY TO VISUALIZE

MODULATION AND DEMODULATION THIS WAS VERY USEFUL IN

CONCRETING THE KNOWLEDGE FOR THE GROUP ABOUT HOW THE

PROCESS WORKS
