AMPLITUDE MODULATION AND DEMODULATION Aim:To study the ampltude modulation and demodulation. Apparatus: 1.Amplitude modulation and demodulation. 2.Signal generator. 3.Oscilloscope 4.Connecting wires..
Theory: Amplitude modulation (AM)is defined as a process in which the amplitude of the carrier wave C(t) is varied abot a mean value ,linearly with the base band signal. An AM wave may thus be described , in its most general form,as a function of time as fallows. S(t)=Ac[1+Ka m(t)]Cos(2fct) Where Ka--Amplitude sensivity of the modulator S(t)-Modulated signal Ac-Carrier amplitude m(t)Message Signal The amplitude of Ka m(t) is always less than unity,that is Ka m(t)<1 for all t It ensures that the function 1+Ka m(t) is always positive.When the amplitude sensivity Ka of the modulator is large enough to make Ka m(t) >1for any t,the carrier wave becomes over modulated ,resulting in carrier phase reversal when ever the factor 1+Ka m(t)crosses zero.The modulated wave then exhibits envelope distortion as shown in fig below.

THEORY:FM is a system in which the amplitude of the modulated carrier is kept constant, while its frequency and rate of change are varied by the modulating signal. By the definition of FM, the amount by which the carrier frequency is varied from its unmodulated value, called the deviation , is made proportional to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating voltage. The rate at which this frequency variation changes or takes place is equal to the modulating frequency. FM is that form of angle modulation in which the instantaneous frequency f i(t) is varied linearly with the message signal m(t), as fi(t) = fC+ kfm(t) The term fC represents the frequency of the unmodulated carrier , and the constant K f represents the frequency sensitivity of the modulator expressed in Hertz per volt. Unlike AM, the spectrum of an FM signal is not related in a simple manner to that of modulating signal, rather its analysis is much more difficult than that of an AM signal. To tackle the spectral analysis of an FM signal: 1. Consider the simplest case possible, namely, that of a single tone modulation that produces a narrow band FM signal. 2. Consider the more general case also involving a single tone modulation, but this time the FM is wide band signal. In general, a sinusoidal modulating signal is defined by m(t) = Am Cos(2fm t) Instantaneous frequency of the resulting FM signal equals fi(t) = fC + Kf Am Cos(2fm t) = fC + f Cos(2fm t) Where f = Kf Am, f frequency deviation The ratio of the frequency deviation to the modulation frequency is called the modulation index () of the FM signal. =f / fm Depending on the value of the modulation index , we may distinguish two cases of FM: a. If < 1 radian, then Narrow band FM. b. If > 1 radian, then wide Band FM. We may define an approximate rule for the transmission bandwidth of an FM signal generated by a single tone modulating signal of frequency fm as BT = 2f + 2fm = 2f(1+ 1 / ) This relation is known as carsons rule. Generation of FM signals: There are essentially two basic methods of generating frequency modulated signals, namely , direct FM and indirect FM. In the direct method , the carrier frequency is directly varied in accordance with the input base band signal, which is readily accomplished using a voltage controlled oscillator. In the indirect method, the modulating signal is first used to produce a narrow band FM signal, and frequency multiplication is next used to increase the frequency deviation to the desired level. The indirect method is the preferred choice for FM
2-nd B.Tech
when the stability of carrier frequency is of major concern as in commercial radio broad casting. Indirect FM: A simplified block diagram of an indirect FM system is shown in fig. below Indirect method of generating a wide band FM signal(fig) The message signal m(t) is first integrated and then used to phase modulate a crystal controlled oscillator; the use of crystal control provides frequency stability. To minimize the distortion inherent in the phase modulator, the maximum phase deviation or modulation index is kept small, there by resulting in a narrow band FM signal.This signal is next multiplied in frequency by means of a frequency multiplier so as to produce the desired wide band FM signal. A frequency multiplier consists of a nonlinear device followed by a band pass filter, as shown in fig. below. Frequency multipler(fig) The implication of the nonlinear device being memory less is that it has no energy storage elements. Demodulation of FM signals: Frequency demodulation is the process that enables us to recover the original modulating signal from a frequency modulated signal. Here we describe a direct method of frequency demodulation involving the use of popular device known as a frequency discriminator , whose instantaneous output amplitude is directly proportional to the instantaneous frequency of the input FM signal. Basically, the frequency discriminator consists of a slope circuit followed by an envelop detector. Frequency Discriminator(fig) We may model the ideal frequency discriminator as a pair of slope circuits with their complex transfer functions, followed by envelope detectors and finally a summer. This scheme is called a balanced frequency discriminator. PROCEDURE: 1. Switch on the Physitech experimental board. 2. Connect Oscilloscope to the FM O/P and observe that carrier frequency at that point without any A.F input. 3. Connect around 1 KHZ with 2 volts sine wave (A.F .

Now observe the frequency modulation output on the 1st channel of CRO and adjust the amplitude of the AF signal to get clear frequency modulated wave form. 5. Vary the modulating frequency (A.F signal) , and amplitude and observe the effects on the modulated wave form. 6. Connect the FM o/p to the FM i/p of De-modulator. 7. Vary the potentiometer provided in the demodulator section. 8. Observe the output at demodulation o/p on second channel of CRO.

BALANCED MODULATOR
2-nd B.Tech
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of communication system is to transmit information bearing signals or baseband signals through a communication channel separating the transmitter from the receiver. The term baseband is used to designate the band of frequencies representing the original signal as delivered by a sources of information. The efficient utilization of the communication channel requires a shift of the range of baseband frequencies into other frequency ranges suitable for transmission a corresponding shift back to the original frequency range after reception. A shift of the range of frequency in a signal is accomplished by which some characteristic of a carrier is varied in accordance with a modulating wave. The base band signal is reffered to as the modulated wave. At the receiving end of the communications system, we usually require the original baseband signal or modulating wave to be restored. This is accomplished by using a process known as demodulation which is the reverse of the modulation process. In amplitude modulation the amplitude of a sinusoidal carrier wave is varied in accordance with the baseband signal. AIM: To Study Balanced Modulator Apparatus: 1. Balanced Modulator trainer. 2. Signal Generator (2) 3. CRO 4. BNC Probes
THEORY: In Balanced modulator, two non-linear devices are connected in the balnced mode, so as to suppress the carrier wave. A Balanced Modulator that generates DSB(product) signal is shown in fig below.

The Balanced Modulator consists of summing devise(operational amplifiers) and two matched nonlinear elements. If x(t) is band limited to fx and if fc > 2 fx , then the band pass filter output will be the desired product signal. Figure shows IC that have been specifically designed for use as balanced modulators. Figure is the 1496 balanced modulator which is manufactured by Motorola,National, and Signetics. This device uses a differential amplifier configuration. Its carrier suppression is rated at a minimum of -50db with a typical value -65 db at 500KHz. 2-nd B.Tech 11 analog communication lab manual
The trainer contains a balanced modulator using a 1496 integrated circuit. You will verify that it does suppress the carrier and also adjust it for optimum carrier suppression. Advantage of Balanced Modulator: In simple non-linear circuits, the undesired non-linear terms(harmonics) are eliminated by a band pass filter. Hence, the bandpass filter must be carefully designed. But in a balanced modulator,the undesired non-linear terms are automatically balanced out and at the output we get only the desired terms, so filter design is not so stringent. Procedure: 1. Switch on the trainer. 2. Connect 200Hz sine wave, and 100 KHz square wave from the Function Generators. Adjust R1 (1K linear pot). Connect your oscilloscope to the output . 3. Vary R1(1K) both clockwise and counter clockwise. Observe the output. 4. Disconnect the SINE input to R1(1K). The output should not be close to zero. 5.

THEORY: Frequency modulation is much more immune to noise than amplitude modulation and is significantly more immune than phase modulation. The threshold effect is more serious in FM as compared to AM, because in FM, the signal to noise ratio at the input of a detector , at which threshold effect starts, is higher , Lower the threshold level, better is the system because threshold can be avoided at a comparatively lower ratio, and a small signal is needed to avoid threshold level in the FM receivers. The process of lowering the
2-nd B.Tech
14
threshold level is known as threshold improvement , or threshold reduction. Two methods are used for the improvement of the threshold. 1. Pre Emphasis and De- Emphasis circuits. 2. FMFB ( Frequency Modulation with Feed Back) Pre-Emphasis and De-Emphasis:
The noise triangle shows, noise has a greater effect on the higher modulating frequencies than on the lower ones. Thus, if the higher frequencies were arificially boosted at the transmitter and correspondingly cut at the receiver , an improvement in noise immunity could be expected, there by increasing the signal to noise ratio. This boosting of the higher modulating frequencies , in accordance with a prearranged curve, is termed pre-emphasis , and the compensation at the receiver is called de-emphasis. An example of a circuit used for each function is shown in fig. below. a . pre-emphasis b.De- emphasis Two modulating signals having the same initial amplitude has been taken, with one them Pre-Emphasized to twice this amplitude, whereas the other is unaffected (being at a much lower frequency) . The receiver will naturally have to de-emphasize the first signal by a factor of 2, to ensure that both signals have the same amplitude in the output of the receiver . Before demodulation, i.e ., while susceptible to noise interference, the emphasized signal had twice the deviation it would have had without pre-emphasis and was thus more immune to noise. When this signal is de-emphasized, any noise side band voltage, are de-emphasized with it and therefore have a correspondingly lower amplitude than they would have had without emphasis. Their effect on the output is reduced. The amount of pre-emphasis in U.S , FM broadcasting , and in the sound transmissions accompanying television, has been standaralized as 75s, whereas a number of other services, notably Europeon and Australian broad casting and TV sound transmission, use 50s. The usage of micro seconds for defining emphasis is standard. A 75s de-emphasis corresponds to
2-nd B.Tech
15
a frequency response curve that is 3dB down of the frequency whose time constant RC is 75s. This frequency is given by f = 1/2RC and is therefore 2120Hz. With 50s de-emphasis it would be 3180Hz. Fig. below shows Pre-Emphasis and De-emphasis curves for a 75s emphasis, as used in the united states.
If emphasis were applied to amplitude modulation, some improvement would also result, but it is not as great as in FM because the highest modulating frequencies in AM are no more affected by noise than any others. Apart from that , it would be difficult to introduce preemphasis and de-emphasis in existing AM services since extensive modifications would be needed, particularly in view of the huge numbers of receivers in use. PROCEDURE: 1. Swich on Physitechs Pre-emphasis and De-Emphasis Trainer. 2. Give the input from signal generator to AF I/P of pre- emphasis circuit. By varying the amplitude knob set the input voltage to some milli volts say(4mV,6mV,etc.,) 3. Observe the output wavefrom on CRO channel 1, by connecting either 75mH or 50mH. 4. The output of pre-emphasis circuit must below the audio frequency range. 5. Connect the output of Pre-Emphasis to the I/P of De-emphasis circuit. 6. Observe the De-Emphasis output at AF O/P of De-Emphasis circuit. 7. Measure the output voltage in CRO for each frequency and notedown the values. 8. Calculate the attenuation and logF Values. 9. Plot the graph between frequencies on X-axis and attenuation on Y-axis to show the emphasis curve. 10. Various values of R and C are available so that, the time constant is suitably selected depending upon the application.

Both modulators produce an output consisting only of sidebands. It will be shown that both upper sidebands leads the input carrier voltage by 900. One of the lower sidebands leads the reference voltage by 900 , and the other lags it by 900 . The two lower sidebands are thus out of phase, and when combined in the adder , they cancel each other. The upper sidebands are in phase at the adder and therefore they add together and gives SSB upper side band signal. When they combined in the subtrator , the upper side bands are cancel because in phase and lower side bands add together and gives SSB lower side band signal. PROCEDURE: 1. 2.

Set the amplitudes of the RF signals to 0.1 VPP and connect 00 phase shift signal to one balanced modulator and 900 phase shift to another balanced modulator as shown in figure. Selected the required frequency (2K,4K or 6 KHz) of the AF generator with the help of switch and adjust the AGC potentiometer until the output amplitude is = 10Vpp ( when amplitude controls are in maximum condition).

MIXER CHARACTERISTICS
2-nd B.Tech
21
INTRODUCTION: A Mixer is a non linear device that mixes the incoming signal of frequency (f C) with a local oscillator voltage of frequency (f1) and generates an output voltage of an intermediate frequency (f1 f C) . The non linear mixer circuit produces the sum and difference frequency components (f1 f C) along with the input frequencies and their harmonics. The desired intermediate frequency fi = (f1 - f C) is selected by a tuned circuit known as input intermediate frequency transformer(IFT). The IFT is tuned by adjusting the core of the transformer. The process is known as inductive tuning. The mixer is also known as first detector. Some mixer circuits use separate devices for mixing and generating local oscillator voltage. Such circuits are referred as separately excited mixers. Another type of mixer circuit , known as self excited mixer utilizes a single device as mixer and local oscillator. They are also referred to as frequency converters. The frequency convertors and mixers perform the job of frequency changers.
AIM: To observer the characteristics of a Frequency Mixer and to measure its conversion gain. APPARATUS : 1. frequency mixer trainer kit. 2. Signal generator (2) 3. CRO 4. BNC Probes THEORY: A mixer is a non-linear circuit with two input signals and one output signal. The output signal is a distorted combination of the two input signals. Let the two input frequencies, given be Fx and Fy. Because of the nonlinear distortion, the output signal contains signal frequencies and their harmonics. In addition to the harmonics, a frequency signal with frequency = ( Fx Fy) and also appear across output terminals. A mixer circuit finds its application in a super heterodyne receiver in converting a RF signal into an IF signal with the help of a local Oscillator.
2-nd B.Tech
22
If RF signal frequency RF is 1000KHz, by choosing local Oscillator frequency to 1455 KHz the difference frequency becomes 455KHz, which is the intermediate frequency for Radio Receivers . Other frequencies such as 1455 KHz , 1000KHz,2455 kHz can be filtered out with the help of low pass filter But in out Physitechs frequency mixer trainer we are giving low frequencies ( in the range of 60 100 KHz) for getting clear output without distortion.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION: In a transistor Mixer, one signal drives the bvase, the other signal drives the Emitter. One of the input signals should be large enough to drive the transistor into non linear operation. In non linear mode of operation, the collector current contains fundamental frequency, its harmonics, sum frequency and also difference frequency . The low pass filter filters out all other frequencies except, the difference frequency component. Hence , a sinusoidal signal with frequencies is observed across the output terminals PROCEDURE 1. Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram. 2. Apply 99 KHz signal to the base of the transistor and 100KHz, signal to the emitter of the transistor. 3. Observe a sinusoidal signal with 1 KHz frequency across output terminals. 4. Vary Base signal frequency and note down O/P amplitude. The output reaches to a maximum value at a particular frequency.

AIM:- To study phase lock loop and its capture range, lock range and free running VCO frequency. APPARATUS:1. Physitechs Phase Lock Loop Using LM565 trainer. 2. Function generator. 3. CRO 4. Connecting Wires.
THEORY: PLL has emerged as one of the fundamental building block in electronic technology. It is used for the frequency multiplication, FM steriodetector , FM demodulator , frequency shift keying decoders, local oscillator in TV and FM tuner. 2-nd B.Tech 25 analog communication lab manual
C.M.R institute of Technology The block diagram of a PLL is shown in the fig.below.
It consists of a phase detector, a LPF and a voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) connected together in the form of a feed back system. The VCO is a sinusoidal generator whose frequency is determined by a voltage applied to it from an external source. In effect, any frequency modulator may serve as a VCO. The phase detector or comparator compares the input frequency , fin , with feedback frequency , f out , ( output frequency). The output of the phase detector is proportional to the phase difference between f in , and f out , . The output voltage of the phase detector is a DC voltage and thereforem is often refers to as error voltage . The output of the phase detector is then applied to the LPF , which removes the high frequency noise and produces a DC lend. The DC level, in term is the input to the VCO. The output frequency of the VCO is directly proportional to the input DC level. The VCO frequency is compared with the input frequencies and adjusted until it is equal to the input frequency . In short , PLL keeps its output frequency constant at the input frequency. Thus , the PLL goes through 3 states. 1. Free running state. 2. Capture range / mode 3. Phase lock state. Before input is applied, the PLL is in the free running state. Once the input frequency is applied, the VCO frequency starts to change and the PLL is said to be the capture range/mode. The VCO frequency cantinues to change (output frequency ) until it equals the input frequency and the PLL is then in the phase locked state. When phase is locked, the loop tracks any change in the input frequency through its repetitive action. The IC LM565 has a voltage controlled oscillator(VCO), whose frequency in the obsence of any synchoronising input, which is also called free running frequency F O is given by F O = in Hz

Where , R1 = external resistor C1 = external capacitor The above said VCO output can be divided, or as it is connected to VCO input (pin4) of phase camparator block, which compare & phase of VCO with that of external input signal. This gives a DC component output available at pin 7 and this is also fed internally to VCO voltage control. Lock Range or Tracking Range: It is the range of frequencies in the vicinity of f O over which the VCO, once locked to the input signal, will remain locked and is given by F2 = Hz Capture Range : (f C) : Is the range of frequencies in the vicinity of f O over which the loop will acquire lock with an input signal initially starting out of lock and is given by . . FC = Where C2 is the filter capacitor in farads. PROCEDURE: 1. Connect + 5V to pin 10 of LM 565. 2. Connect -5V to pin 1. 3. Connect 10k resistor from pin 8 to + 5V 4. Connect 0.01 f capacitor from pin 9 to 5V 5. Short pin 4 to pin 5. 6. Without giving input measure(f O) free running frequency. 7. Connect pin 2 to oscillator or function generator through a 1f capacitor, adjust the amplitude aroung 2Vpp. 8. Connect 0.1 f capacitor between pin 7 and + 5V (C2) 9. Connect output to the second channel is of CRO. 10. Connect output to the second channel of the CRO. 11. By varying the frequency in different steps observe that of one frequency the wave form will be phase locked. 12. Change R-C components to shift VCO center frequency and see how lock range of the input varies. Now compare the theoretical values and practical values using the given formula. FM DEMODUALTION: The IC LM 565 phase locked loop is a general purpose circuit designed for highlylinear FM demodulation. During lock, the average DC level of the phase camporator output signals is directly proportional to this frequency of the input signal. As the input frequency shifts, it is this output signal which caused the VCO to shift its frequency to match that of the input. Consequently the linearity of the phase comparator output with frequency is determined by the voltage to frequency transfer function of the VCO. Connection diagram for this experiment is also some as fig(2) with small changes. The VCO free funning frequency FO should be adjusted to be at the center of the input signal frequency range. C1 can be any value, R1 should be with in the range of 2 to 20k ohms with an optimum value of the order of 4k ohms. The input signal can be directly coupled if the DC resistance seen from pins 2&3 are equal and there is no DC voltage difference between the pins. Pin 6 provides a DC reference voltage that is also to the DC potential of the demodulated output(pin7) . Thus if a resistance is connected between pin 1 ,6&7, the gain of the output stage

27
can be reduced with little change in the DC voltage level at theoutput . This allows the lock range to be decreased with little change in free running. In this way the lock range can be reduced from 60% of FO to approximately 20% of FO ( at 6V) . A small capacitor (typically 1kpf) should be connected between pins 7 and 8 to eliminate the possible oscillation in the control current source. Single loop filter is formed by the capacitors C2 connected between pin 7 and + 5V supply. FREQUENCY MULTIPLICATION: There are two methods by which frequency multiplication can be achieved by using 565 IC. 1. Locking to a harmonic of the input signal. 2. Inclusion of a digital frequency divider or counter in loop between the VCO and phase camporator. The first method is the simplest, and can be achived by setting the free running frequency of the VCO to a multiple of the input frequency. A limitation of this method is that the lock range decreases as successively higher and weaker hormonics are used for locking. If the input frequency is to be constant with little tracking required the loop can generally be locked to any one of the first five hormonics. For higher orders of multiplication, a large lock range is desired the second scheme is more desirable. As shown in fig(3) the loop is broken the VCO and the phase
2-nd B.Tech
28
comporator and a 10 counter is inserted which is also provided on the trainer . The fundamental of the divided VCO frequency is locked to the frequency in this case so that the VCO is actually running at a multiple of the input frequency.The amount of the multiplication is determined by the frequency divider. Fig.3 Circuit Diagram for Frequency Multiplication To setup the circuit ( fig.3) , the frequency limit of the input signal must be determined. The free running frequency FO of the VCO is their adjusted by means of R1 & C1. So that the output frequency of the divider is midway between the input frequency limits. The filter capacitor C2 should be large enough to eliminate variations in the modulated output voltage (at pin7) in order stabilize the VCO frequency. The output can now be taken as the VCO square wave output , and its fundamental will be the desired multiple of the input frequency , as long as the loop is in lock. The important Characterisitics of the 565 PLL are : 1. Operating frequency range : 0.001Hz to 500 Hz. 2. Operating voltage range : 6V to 12V. 3.

SYNCHRONOUS DETECTOR AIM: To study about detection of AM demodulator (or) Syncronous Demodulator. APPARATUS: 1. Physitechs Syncronous Detector trainer kit 2. Function Generator 3. CRO 4. Connecting Wires THEORY: The phase and frequency of the locally generated carrier in synchronous detector is extremely critical . Precision phase and frequency control of the local carrier needs an expensive and a complicated circuitry at the receiver. Pilot carrier is one synchronization technique. A small amount of carrier signal known as pilot carrier is transmitted along with the modulated signal from the transmitter. This small amount of carrier signal is known as pilot carrier. This pilot carrier, separated at the receiver by an appropriate filter, is amplified, and is used to phase lock the locally generated carrier at the receiver. The phase locking provides synchronization. This system , where a weak carrier is transmitted along with AM SC signal, is also referred to as partially suppressed carrier system, as the carrier is not totally syppressed. The process in which a large carrier is transmitted along with AM-SC signal is called amplitude modulation. The large carrier simplifies the reception system. The AM-SC with partially suppressed carrier is equivalent to an over modulated AM signal. The base band signal m(t) can be uniquely recovered from a DSB-SC wave S(t) by first multiplying s(t) with a locally generated sinusoidal wave and then low-pass filtering the product, as in fig. below.
Coherent or synchronous detector for demodulating DSB-SC modulated wave It is assumed that the local oscillator signal is exactly coherent or synchronized, in both frequency and phase, with the carrier wave C(t) used in the product modulator to generate S(t) . This method of demodulation is known as Coherent of Synchronous demodulation. The type MC1496 is a Monolithic modulator / demodulator which is designed to produce the product of a voltage and a switching signal.

The ckt. of fig. shows external connections of MC 1496 which is used as an DSB ( double side band) product detector for this purpose all frequencies except the desired demodulated audio are in the spectrum and can be easily filtered at the output. As a result the usual carrier null adjustment not be included. The modulating signal is applied to the upper differential amplifier, while the carrier signal is applied to the lower differential amplifier. Ideally a constant amplitude carrier signal would be obtained by passing the modulating signal through limted ahead of the corresponding input terminals However in the upper input signal is at a high enough level typically 300mV. The signal amplitude variations of upper signal do not appear in the output signal. Due to this reason the product detector of fig. can be used as AM detectors, is no significant in most application. For this purpose, the modulating signal is applied to both the inputs at a level of about 600 mv. Here in this circuit if the input signal falls during modulation valleys distortion is not significant in most applications. It has an advantage of linear operation and ability to have detector stage with gain.

DIODE DETECTOR
The diode is by far the most common device used for A.M demodulation or detection. The simple diode detector has the disadvantages that demodulated output voltage in addition to being proportional to the modulating voltage, also has dc component which represents the average envelope amplitude(i.e. carrier strength ) and a small R.F ripple. The unwanted components are removed in a practical detector. Fig(1) shows a practical diode detector. In this diode has been reversed, so that the negative envelope is demodulated. This has no effect on detection, but it does ensure that a negative AGC voltage will be available. Here tow resistors are used to ensure that there is a series dc path to ground for the diode, but at the same time a low pass filter has been added in the form of R1-C1 , this has the function of removing any RF ripple that might still be present. Capacitor C2 is a coupling capacitor, whose main function is to prevent the diode dc output from reaching the volume control R4. The combination of R3 C3 is low pass filter designed to remove AF components, proving a dc voltage whose amplitude is proportional to the carrier strength and which may be used for automatic gain control. It can be seen from the fig. that the dc diode load is equal to R1+R2, whereas the audio load impedance Zm is equal to R1 in series with the parallel combination of R2,R3 and R4, assuming that the capacitors have reactances which may be ignored. This will be true at medium frequencies , but at high and low audio frequencies Zm may have a reactive component, causing a phase shift and distortion as well as an uneven frequency response.

SQUELCH CIRCUIT
INTRODUCTION: When no carrier present at the input of a receiver, i.e in the abcence of transmission on a given channel or between stations, a sensitive receiver will produce a disagreeable amount of loud noise. This is because AGC disappear in the abcence of any carrier. The receiver acquires its maximum sensitivity and amplifies the noise present at its input. In some circumstances this is not particularly important, but in many others it can be annoying and tiring. Systems such as those used by police, ambulance and coast radio stations, in which a receiver must be monitored at all times but transmission essporatic, are the principle beneficiaries of squelch. It enables the receivers output to remain in cutt off unless the carrier is present. Apart from eliminating inconvenience, such a system must naturally increase the efficiency of the operator. Sqelch is also called muting or quieting circuit. Squelch Circuit consists of wired circuitry of 1. AM Generator 2. Detector with A.F and AGC outputs. 3. A.F Amplifier 4. DC Amplifier. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION: The sqelch circuit as shown in fig(1) , consists of a dc amplifier to which AGC is applied and which operates upon the first Audio amplifier of the receiver. When the AGC is low or Zero , the dc amplifier, Q2 is in conduction and draws current so that bias voltage of Q1 drops and cutts of the A.F amplifier. Thus no signal or noise is passed. When the AGC voltage becomes sufficiently negative to cutt off Q2, this dc amplifier no longer draws current, so that the only now on Q1 is its self bias. The audio amplifier now functions as though squelch were not there. The squelch circuit is normally inserted immediately after the detector. AIM: - To study Squelch circuit. APPARATUS: 1. Squelch circuit trainer Board. 2. Dual trace Oscilloscope. 3. Funtion generator 4. Patching wires. PROCEDURE: 1. Study the circuit operation of squelch circuit. 2. Apply the 500Hz of A.F signal to the input of AM generator marked as A.F input. Observe the output of the AM generator using CRO. Adjust the amplitudes of A.F and A.M generators to get proper output of A.M wave form. 3. Now connect the A.M output to the input of the detector provided on board and monitor the detectors outputs of A.F and AGC . Measure the AGC output with a DC voltmeter. 4. Connect the A.F output from the detector to the input of the A.F amplifier and AGC output to the input of the DC amplifier. 5. Now you can study the effect of the squelch circuit by varying the amplitude of the A.M signal and adjust the sensitivity of squelch circuit by varying the potentiometer provided at the base of the transistor Q2.

THEORY: The main purpose of the receiver is to recreate the original message signal from the degraded version of the transmitted signal after propagation through the free space. THE SUPER HETERODYNE RECEIVER: The Basic receiver is shown in fig(1) . The first stage is a tuned RF amplifier, using two variable tuned circuits that each other and the local oscillator. The two tuned RF circuits form a band pass filter to pass the desired RF signal frequency while blocking others. This stage acts to boost the weak signal level from the antenna above the noise level to provide same signal selectivity and to prevent other channel signal to pass through. The output signal from the amplifier is fed to one input of the mixer circuit and the local oscillator signal to the other. The local oscillator is variable tuned so as to track the incoming signal frequencies. The mixer output (the difference frequency for down conversion) is fed to multistage tuned. If amplifiers, which are fixed tune and provided with sufficient selectivity to reject adjacent channel signals. The output from the IF amplifier chain is fed to the detector circuit. Where the audio signal is extracted from the IF signal or demodulated. The detector also provides signals for automatic gain control(AGC) . The AGC signal is used as a bias signal to reduce the gain of the RF and the IF amplifiers to prevent detector overload an strong signals. AGC is a system be means of which the overall gain of a radio receiver is varied automaticcly with the changing strength of the received signal, to keep the output substantially constant. The audio signal from the detector is passed through a low pass filter to remove unwanted high frequency components and then through a volume control to audio amplifier. The audio amplifier is usually one low level audio stage followed by a power amplifier and a speaker. The gain required in the RF and IF amplifier chain of the receiver depends on the required input and output. The input is the minimum variable signal level to be presented at the antenna terminals. The output is the minimum signal level at the input of the detector required to make the detector perform satisfactory. In this trainer we used Radio receiver IC 1619S which is having in built RF amplifier, local oscillator, a mixer, IF amplifiers and an AGC detector, audio amplifier to drive a speaker. The detailed pin configuration and functional diagrams are given at the end of this manual.

VCO
It consists of a phase detector , a LPF and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) connected together in the form of a feed back system. The VCO is a sinusoidal generator whose frequency is determined by a voltage applied to it from an external source. In effect, any frequency modulator may serve as a VCO. The phase detector or comparator compares the input frequency, fin, with feedback frequency, fout(output frequency) . The output of the phase detector is proportional to the phase difference betwwn fin and fout . The output voltage of the phase detector is a DC voltage and therefore, is often refers to as error voltage. The output of the phase detector is then applied to the LPF, which removes the high frequency noise and produces a DC lend. The DC level, interm is the input to the VCO. The output frequency of the VCO is directly proportional to the input DC level. The VCO frequency is compared with the input frequencies and adjusted until it is equal to the input frequency. In short , PLL keeps its output frequency constant at the input frequency. Thus , the PLL goes through 3 states: 1. free running state. 2. Capture range / mode. 3. Phase lock state. Before input is applied, the PLL is in the free funning state. Once the input frequency applied, the VCO frequency starts to change and the PLL is said to be the capture range/mode. The VCO frequency continues to change (output frequency) until it equals the input frequency and the PLL is then in the phase locked state. When phase is locked, the loop tracks any change in the input frequency through its repetitive action. The IC LM565 has a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) , whose frequency in the absence of any synchronizing input , which is also called free running frequency F 0 is given by 2-nd B.Tech 50 analog communication lab manual
F0 = 1.2 / 4R1C1 in Hz Where , R1 = external resistor C1 = external capacitor The above said VCO output can be divided , or as it is connected to VCO input (pin4) of phase comparator block, which compare & phase of VCO with that of external input signal . This gives a DC component output available at pin 7 and this is also fed internally to VCO voltage control. LOCK RANGE OR TRACKING RANGE: It is the range of frequencies in the vicinity of f 0 over which the VCO, once locked to the input signal, will remain locked and is given by F2 = 8f0 / Vcc Hz CAPTURE RANGE : (fc) is the range of frequencies in the vicinity of fo over which the loop will acquire lock with an input signal initially starting out of lock and is given by

By varying the frequency in different steps observe that at one frequency the wave form will be phase locked. 12.

FREQUENCY SYSNTHESIZER
2-nd B.Tech

Sysnthesizer is an equipment capable of generating a very large number of extremely stable frequencies within some design range, while generally employing only one single stable source. The required frequency range in most synthesizers now a days is obtained from a variable voltage controller oscillator(VCO) , whose output is corrected by comparison with that of a reference source. This inbuilt source is virtually a direct synthesizer. There are two methods by which frequency multiplication can be achieved by using 565 IC. 1. Locking to a harmonic of the input signal. 2. Inclusion of a digital frequency divider or counter in loop between the VCO and phase comparator. The first method is the simplest, and can be3 achieved by setting the free runningfrequency of the VCO to a multiple of the input frequency. A limitation of this method is that the lock range decreases as successively higher and weaker harmonics are used for locking. If the input frequency is to be constant with little tracking required the loop can generally be locked to any one of the first five hormonics . For higher orders of multiplication, a large lock range is desired for which the second scheme is more desirable. As shown in fig(3) the loop is broken between the VCO and the on the trainer . The fundamental of the divided VCO frequency is locked to the frequency in this case so that the VCO is actually running at a multiple of the input frequency . The amount of the multiplication is determined by the frequency divider.Phase comparator and a divide counter is inserted which is also provided To setup the circuit(fig3) , the frequency limit of the input signal must be determined. The free running frequency Fo of the VCO is then adjusted by means of R & C. So that the output frequency of the divider is mid way between the input frequency limits. The filter capacitor C2 should be large enough to eliminate variations in the modulated output voltage(at pin 7) in order stabilize the VCO frequency. The output can now be taken as the VCO square wave output, and its fundamental will be the desired multiple of the input frequency, as long as the loop is in lock. The important Characterisitics of the 565 PLL are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Operating frequency range : 0.001Hz to 500KHz. Operating voltage range : 6V to 12V.
