Virtual AM Spectrum Analyzer v5.6.4

License Python Framework

A desktop application for visual and interactive simulation and analysis of Amplitude Modulation (AM) spectrums. Created as a project to deepen the understanding of concepts in analog communication systems.

Key Features

  • Signal Generator: Generates message signals (sine, square, sawtooth, dual-tone) and a carrier signal.
  • AM Modulation: Supports DSB-FC (Double Sideband Full Carrier) and DSB-SC (Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier) modes.
  • Channel Simulation: Adds noise to the signal with an adjustable Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR).
  • Demodulation: Simulates Envelope and Coherent demodulators (with phase error control).
  • Real-Time Visualization: Interactive plots for signals in the time domain (message, carrier, modulated, demodulated) and frequency domain (FFT spectrum).
  • Spectrum Analysis: Zoom, pan, and markers on the FFT plot to analyze frequency components (Fc, LSB, USB).
  • Parameter Calculation: Automatically calculates and displays the Modulation Index (m), Bandwidth (BW), Efficiency (η), and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
  • Educational Presets: Comes with various presets for common modulation scenarios (good modulation, overmodulation, noisy signal, etc.).
  • Audio Playback: Listen to the original message signal and the demodulated result to compare sound quality.

Technologies Used

  • Language: Python 3
  • GUI Framework: Tkinter with a modern theme from ttkbootstrap.
  • Signal & Numerical Processing: NumPy and SciPy.
  • Data Visualization: Matplotlib.
  • Audio Playback: Sounddevice.
  • Packaging: PyInstaller to create an .exe file.
