The speech signal utter.au is to be amplitude modulated for transmission on an AM commercial radio band in the United States. Plot the frequency spectrum of the AM signal. Use any channel according to its separations and a modulation index ? = 1 in your design.
Find:
Frequency spectrum of the AM signal.
Analysis:
Pick the channel of carrier frequency 530KHz.
In MATLABĀ®, use the following script to generate the frequency spectrum of AM signal.

% speech utterance signal
[sp, fs] = auread('utter.au');
sp=sp(1:fs)';
l=length(sp);
sound(sp,fs);
% Time-domain carrier
Ac = max(sp);
Fc = 530e3;
Fs = 1120e3;
dt = 1/Fs;
t = 0:1/Fs:1-1/Fs;
c = Ac*cos(2*pi*Fc*(0:dt:1-dt));
% % Frequency-domain carrier

% Time-domain AM msg
au = interp1(0:1/fs:1-1/fs,sp,t,'spline');
for i = 1:Fs
s(i) = (Ac + au(i))*cos(2*pi*Fc*t(i));

Ms. Kim has 6.8 acres of peach trees. The trees are set 15 feet apart in the row, and the rows are 25 feet apart to allow for a drive. She expected an average of 4.2 bushels of peaches per tree. She had a 22.4 percent losscaused by a late freeze. She applied 95-40-110 units of fertilizer per acre using 46-0-0 urea, 18-46-0 DAP, and 0-0-60 muriate of potash.
