Demodulation Circuit:





THEORY:

Introduction

The transmission of digital signals is increasing at a rapid rate. Low-frequency analog signals are often
converted to digital format (PAM) before transmission. The source signals are generally referred to as
baseband signals. We can send analog and digital signals directly over a medium. From electro-magnetic
theory, for efficient radiation of electrical energy from an antenna it must be at least in the order of magnitude
of a wavelength in size; c = f, where c is the velocity of light, f is the signal frequency and is the
wavelength. For a 1kHz audio signal, the wavelength is 300 km. An antenna of this size is not practical for
efficient transmission. The low-frequency signal is often frequency-translated to a higher frequency range for
efficient transmission. The process is called modulation. The use of a higher frequency range reduces
antenna size.

ASK

Amplitude shift keying - ASK - in the context of digital communications is a modulation process, which
imparts to a sinusoid two or more discrete amplitude levels. These are related to the number of levels
adopted by the digital message.

For a binary message sequence there are two levels, one of which is typically zero. Thus the modulated
waveform consists of bursts of a sinusoid.

A binary ASK (BASK) wave is obtained by multiplying the message signal with the carrier. The B-ASK
signal has two levels 1 and 0 representing the presence and absence of the sinusoid respectively. This can
be shown in the waveform below. The message signal must be represented in NZR uni polar format only.
Binary ASK system has the largest probability of bit error when compared to FSK and PSK systems.


There are sharp discontinuities shown at the transition points. These result in the signal having an
unnecessarily wide bandwidth. Band limiting is generally introduced before transmission, in which case
these discontinuities would be rounded off. The band limiting may be applied to the digital message, or
the modulated signal itself.

One of the disadvantages of ASK, compared with FSK and PSK, for example, is that it has not got a
constant envelope. This makes its processing (eg, power amplification) more difficult, since linearity
becomes an important factor. However, it does make for ease of demodulation with an envelope detector.


PROCEDURE:

1) The circuit connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2) A message signal with frequency about _______ Hz and amplitude of about _______ volts is fed to the
transistor and carrier is fed to the collector (nearly ______ volts).
3) ASK output is now drawn at the collector.
4) This ASK output is fed to the demodulator circuit and the message signal at the output is obtained.
5) The modulated and the modulating signal are drawn on a graph.

02 FREQUENCY SHIFT KEYING
(MODULATION AND DEMODULATION)

AIM:

To design and study the working of FSK modulation and demodulation with the help of a suitable circuit.

THEORY:

As its name suggests, a frequency shift keyed transmitter has its frequency shifted by the message.
Although there could be more than two frequencies involved in an FSK signal, in this experiment the
message will be a binary bit stream, and so only two frequencies will be involved. The word keyed
suggests that the message is of the on-off (mark-space) variety, such as one (historically) generated by a
morse key, or more likely in the present context, a binary sequence.

Conceptually, and in fact, the transmitter could consist of two oscillators (on frequencies f1 and f2), with
only one being connected to the output at any one time.

Unless there are special relationships between the two oscillator frequencies and the bit clock there will
be abrupt phase discontinuities of the output waveform during transitions of the message.

Bandwidth:
Practice is for the tones f1 and f2 to bear special inter-relationships, and to be integer multiples of the bit
rate. This leads to the possibility of continuous phase, which offers advantages, especially with respect to
bandwidth control.

FSK signals can be generated at baseband, and transmitted over telephone lines (for example). In this
case, both f1 and f2 (of Figure 2) would be audio frequencies. Alternatively, this signal could be
translated to a higher frequency. Yet again, it may be generated directly at carrier frequencies.

Other forms of FSK

Minimum-shift keying
Minimum frequency-shift keying or minimum-shift keying (MSK) is a particularly spectrally efficient
form of coherent FSK. In MSK the difference between the higher and lower frequency is identical to
half the bit rate. Consequently, the waveforms used to represent a 0 and a 1 bit differ by exactly half
a carrier period. This is the smallest FSK modulation index that can be chosen such that the
waveforms for 0 and 1 are orthogonal. A variant of MSK called GMSK is used in the GSM mobile
phone standard.
FSK is commonly used in Caller ID and remote metering applications
Audio frequency-shift keying (AFSK) is a modulation technique by which digital data is represented
by changes in the frequency (pitch) of an audio tone, yielding an encoded signal suitable for
transmission via radio or telephone. Normally, the transmitted audio alternates between two tones:
one, the "mark", represents a binary one; the other, the "space", represents a binary zero.
AFSK differs from regular frequency-shift keying in performing the modulation at baseband
frequencies. In radio applications, the AFSK-modulated signal normally is being used to modulate an
RF carrier (using a conventional technique, such as AM or FM) for transmission.

AFSK is not always used for high-speed data communications, since it is far less efficient in both
power and bandwidth than most other modulation modes. In addition to its simplicity, however,
AFSK has the advantage that encoded signals will pass through AC-coupled links, including most
equipment originally designed to carry music or speech.

THEORY:
Phase shift keying is one of the most efficient digital modulation techniques. It is used for very high bit
rates. In PSK, the phase of the carrier is modulated to represent Binary values. In BPSK, the carrier phase
is used to switch The phase between 0

reversal keying. The modulated carrier is given by:

05 - DPSK MODULATOR AND DEMODULATOR


AIM:
To generate a DPSK for a given binary (digital) signal and Observe. Demodulate the same DPSK to get
back the original Digital signal, using carrier-receiving circuit & Demodulator.



THEORY:
In BPSK communication system, the demodulation is made by comparing the instant phase of the BPSK signal to an
absolute reference phase locally generated in the receiver. The modulation is called in this case BPSK absolute. The
greatest difficulty of these systems lies in the need to keep the phase of the regenerated carrier always constant. This
problem is solved with the PSK differential modulation, as the information is not contained in the absolute phase of the
modulated carrier but in the phase difference between two next modulation intervals.

In the block diagram (Fig.) 1 and 2 Shows the DPSK modulation and demodulation system.The coding is obtained by
comparing the output of an EXOR, delayed of a bit interval, with the current data bits (for detailed explanation see
experiment no.2). As total result of operation, the DPSK signal across the output of the modulator contains 180 deg.
phase variation at each data bit 1. The demodulation is made by a normal BPSK demodulator, followed by a decision
device supplying a bit 1 each time there is a variation of the logic level across its input.

The DPSK system explained above has a clear advantage over the BPSK system in that the former avoids the need for
complicated circuitry used to generate a local carrier at the receiver. To see the relative disadvantage of DPSK in
comparison with PSK, consider that during some bit interval the received signal is so contaminated by noise that in a
PSK system an error would be made in the determination of whether the transmitted bit was a 1 or 0. in DPSK a bit
determination is made on the basis of the signal received in two successive bit intervals. Hence noise in one bit interval
may cause errors to two-bit determination. The error rate in DPSK is therefore greater than in PSK, and, as a matter of
fact, there is a tendency for bit errors to occur in pairs. It is not inevitable however that errors occur in pairs. Single errors
are still possible.

06 - TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING


Aim:
To design and demonstrate the working of time division (for) multiplexing for Pulse Amplitude Modulated
Signals using discreet components.


Components Required:
Resisters 22K-2, 1k- 2, transistor SL 00 2, IC 4051-2


THEORY:
Time-division multiplexing (TDM) is a type of digital or (rarely) analog multiplexing in which two or
more signals or bit streams are transferred apparently simultaneously as sub-channels in one communication channel, but
are physically taking turns on the channel. The time domain is divided into several recurrent timeslots of fixed length,
one for each sub-channel. A sample byte or data block of sub-channel 1 is transmitted during timeslot 1, sub-channel 2
during timeslot 2, etc. One TDM frame consists of one timeslot per sub-channel. After the last sub-channel the cycle
starts all over again with a new frame, starting with the second sample, byte or data block from sub-channel 1, etc.


Application examples

- The plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH) system, also known as the PCM system, for
digital transmission of several telephone calls over the same four-wire copper cable (T-carrier
or E-carrier) or fiber cable in the circuit switched digital telephone network
- The SDH and synchronous optical networking (SONET) network transmission standards, that
have surpassed PDH.
- The RIFF (WAV) audio standard interleaves left and right stereo signals on a per-sample
basis
- The left-right channel splitting in use for stereoscopic liquid crystal shutter glasses
TDM can be further extended into the time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme, where several
stations connected to the same physical medium, for example sharing the same frequency channel,
can communicate. Application examples include:
- The GSM telephone system

BLOCK DIAGRAM:-
















THEORY:-
In 1963, J.B. Gunn discovered the bulk TRANFERRED ELECTRON EFFECT in Gallium Arsenide which
is a semiconductor material.Si & Ge are called INDIRECT GAP semiconductors because the bottom of the
conduction band does not lie directly above the top of the valence band.In GaAs the conduction band lies
directly above the top of the valence band. The lowest energy conduction band in ga as is called as
PRIMARY VALLEY. Gunn while measuring the current density J as a junction of electric field E in a
Gallium Arsenide n-type specimen discoveredthat after a threshold field E
th
is reached, the current in the
specimen suddenly becomes oscillatory w.r.t. time and these oscillations are in the microwave frequency
range. This effect is called GUNN EFFECT.
Gunn diodes are operated in two modes:-
1. The Gunn mode or the transit time mode
2. The LSA mode ( or limited space charge accumulation)

The Gunn diode is a bulk device i.e. it does not contain any junction but it is a slice of n-type GaAs .
Hence it is a reversible device and can be operated in both directions.

PROCEDURE:-

(a) TO FIND V-I CHARACTERISTICS

1. Set the Gunn diode oscillator micrometer screw for a suitable frequency to get a square wave.
2. Bias the gunn diode and Pin modulator from Gunn power supply.
3. Select the internal modulation in Gunn power supply.
4. Set modulating frequency and pin bias knobs to approximately half.
5. Change Gunn Bias in steps of 0.5v from 0to 7v and note down the corresponding current.
6. Plot V-I characteristic graph and find Threshold Voltage from the graph.

(b) TO FIND GUIDE WAVELENGTH (
g
) and OPERATING FREQUENCY (f
o
)

2. Set the gunn bias in such a way that the diode operates in Negative Resistance region.
3. Tune the crystal detector such that the demodulated square wave o/p is maximum.
4. Short circuit the load end of the slotted line and calculate the count of the slotted line scale.
5. Without disturbing the gunn bias, rotate the frequency meter till a dip in square wave is observed on CRO.
6. At that point read the Frequency meter to obtain the operating frequency of the gunn diode(f
o
).
7. The above steps are called as frequency determination using the direct method.
8. Locate a maxima on the CRO.This is also called a node.
9. Move the slotted line carriage to any node or antinode and note down the first reading as X
1.

10. Move the slotted section to the immediate next node or antinode and note down the 2
nd
reading X
2
.
11. Guide wavelength (
g
) is twice the difference of X

5. Move the slotted line section in any direction until the pointer deflects suddenly kicks back from the value
which is the VSWR.
6. The VSWR meter reading at the kick back point gives the VSWR.

( ii) Double Minima method:-

1. Measure
g
following appropriate procedure.
2. Locate any minima and note down the corresponding power in db.
3. Move the slotted line section to the right till power increases by 3 dB(X

09 - DIRECTIVITY & GAIN OF ANTENNAS

AIM: Measurement of directivity & gain of antennas : Standard dipole (or printed
dipole), microstrip patch antenna and Yagi antenna (printed).

Components Required : Power supply, VCO, 50 ohm transmission line, dipole
antenna, patch antenna, yagi antenna, oscilloscope or VSWR meter.


Theory: The simplest practical antenna is the half wave dipole. In its original form
it consists of two thin straight wires, each /4 in lengths, by a small gap. For this
simple antenna, under fairly realistic approximations, closed form expressions are
available for radiated fields, power, directivity etc.
The important feature of Yagi antenna is that it is an end-fire antenna, ie the direction
of maximum radiation is tangential to the plane formed by the parallel antenna
elements.
The design of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna begins with (a) choice of a
substrate, (b) selecting the feed mechanism, (c) determining patch length L, (d)
determining patch width w and (e) selecting the feed location.

Procedure:
Setup the system as shown in the figure for a standard dipole antenna.
Keeping the voltage at min, switch on the power supply and keeping the
gain control knob maximum, switch on VCO.
Vary the tuning voltage and check the output for different VCO
frequencies.
Keeping at the resonant frequency calculate and keep the min distance for
field between the transmitting & receiving antennas using the formula

Keeping the line of sight properly (0 degree at the turn table)
Note the readings on the CRO, convert the voltage reading reading into dB
by using the formula 20 log (V/V

10A Measurement of resonance characteristics of a
microstrip ring resonator and determination of dielectric
constant of the substrate.
(A) Aim: Measurement of resonance characteristics of a micro strip ring resonator and
determination of dielectric constant of the substrate.

Components Required: power supply,VCO,50 ohm transmission line, ring
resonator,50 ohm terminations, cables with Oscilloscope/VSWR meter/power meter.

Theory :
The ring resonator is known as a simple printed resonator that is useful for making
approximate measurement of dielectric constant. It is also used in filters, and in
antennas.
Ring resonators can be analyzed in two ways. Looking at a ring resonator in
isolation, it may appear that the field would be in the form of a wave circulating
around either direction, but in reality, the coupling structure plays an important role.

Procedure:

Part (a)

Set up the system as shown in figure.
Keeping the voltage at minimum, switch on the power supply.
Insert a 50ohm transmission line and check for the output at the end of the
system using a CRO/VSWR meter/RF power meter.
Vary the power supply voltage and check the output for different VCO
frequencies.
Replace the 50 ohm transmission line with ring resonator.
Vary the supply voltage, tabulate VCO frequency Vs output.
Plot a graph frequency and find the resonant frequency.

Tabulation:

Part (b)

Select a VCO frequency(say f1) where there is a measurable ouput.note
down the magnitude/power level of the output.
Place the unknown dielectric material on top of the ring resonator.Ensure
that there is no air gap between the dielectric piece and the resonator surface.
Observe the change in the magnitude/power level at the output.
Now reduce the supply voltage till maximum power level(before inserting
the dielectric) is achieved.This is the new resonance condition due to the
insertion of new dielectric material (eg:trflon).
Note down the VCO frequency (say f2).
Calculate the dielectric constant of the unknown material by using formula.
Experiment may be repeated with different unknown material or with same
material but for different hight of the material.

12 - SETTING UP A FIBRE OPTIC ANALOG LINK.


AIM:
The objective of this experiment is to study a 950nm-fiber analog
Link and to study the frequency response of the phototransistor at
Various load conditions.



THEORY:
Fiber optic links can be used for transmission of digital as well as analog signals. Basically a fiber optic
link contains three main elements transmitter and optical fiber & a receiver. The transmitter module takes
the input signal in electrical form and then transforms it into optical (light) energy containing the same
information. The optical fiber is the medium, which carries this energy to the receiver. At the receiver,
Light is converted back into electrical form with the same pattern as originally fed to the transmitter.

Receiver: - SFH-551V is a digital opt detector. It delivers a digital output, which can be processed
directly with little additional external circuitry. The integrated circuit inside the SFH 551V opth detector
comprises the photo diode device, a Trans impedance amplifier, a comparator and a level shifter. The
photo diode converts the detector light in to the photo current. With the aid of an integrated lens the light
emanating from the plastic fiber is almost entirely focused on the surface of the diode. At the next page
the Tran impedance amplifier converts the photo current into a voltage. In the comparator the voltage is
compared to a reference voltage. In over to ensure good synchronism between the reference and the
transimpedance output voltage, the former is derived from a second circuit of a similar kind, which
incorporates a blind photo diode. The comparator derives a level shifter with an open collector output
stage. Here a catch diode prevents the saturation of the output transistor, thus limiting the output voltage to
the supply voltage.

14 - STUDY OF LOSSES IN OPTICAL FIBER

AIM:
The objective of this experiment is to measure the propagation loss for two different wave lengths and
bending loss in plastic fiber provided in the kit.


APPARATUS:
Fiber optic kit, CRO, Signal generator, 1m &3m plastic fiber.



THEORY:
Optical fibers are available in different materials they are selected by considering the absorption
characteristics for different wavelengths of light.
Losses are introduced in the fiber due to a variety of reasons. As light propagates from one end of the fiber
to other end, part of it absorbed in the material exhibiting absorption loss. Part of the light is reflected back
or in some other direction from the impurity loss of the signal at the other end of the fiber. This
phenomenon is called propagation loss.
Whenever the condition for angle of incidence of the incident light is violated, the losses are
introduced due to refraction of light. This occurs when fiber is subjected for bending.

15 - STUDY OF NUMERICAL APERTURE OF OPTICAL FIBER


AIM:
The objective of this experiment is to measure the numerical aperture of the plastic fiber provided with the
kit using 660nm wavelength LED

APPARATUS:
Fiber optic kit, CRO, Signal generator, 1m &3m plastic fiber.


THEORY:
Numerical aperture refers to the maximum angle at a light incident on the fiber end is totally internally
reflected and is transmitted properly along with the fiber. The cone found by the rotation of this angle
along with the axis of the fiber is the cone of acceptance of the fiber. The light ray should strike the fiber
end within its cone of acceptance; else it is reflected out of the fiber core.

CONSIDERATION IN A MEASUREMENT:-

1. It is a very important that the source should be properly aligned with the cable & the distance from
the launched point & the cable be properly selected to ensure that the maximum amount of optical
power is transferred to the cable.
2. This experiment is best performed in a less illuminated room.

SWITCHING FAULTS

1. Put switch in SF1 to ON. This will open the Tx-marker signal at input U9.
2. This means that the channel one is removed at the mux section.
3. No marker is transmitted and hence the receiver synchronization is disturbed.

STUDY OF CHANNEL INPUTS & PCM DATA IN TDM
1. Once the frame is formed and marker is inserted for synchronization in the first channel the
remaining next 15 time slots are free for data information.
2. On the trainer kit we use channel 2-9 as 8 ON/OFF switchs.
3. Switches 10 & 11 aew kept blank.
4. In 12
th
time slot PCM data for codec-1 is inserted
5. 13
th
slot is again kept 0.
6. In the 14
th
PCM data of CODEC-2 is inserted
7. The 15
th
and 16
th
slots are kept 0.
OBSERVATIONS:-
a. Observe the test points of TDM OUT w.r.t the frame clock on the CRO.
b. Put the channel in ON/OFF and observe the position of each channel in the frame.
c. Also observe that the frame repeats at regular intervals.
d. Markers MRTX1 & MRTX2 w.r.t the frame data are observed to be transmitted as alternate
frames.
e. Also observe that the PCM coded voice data at PCM OUT test points of CODEC-1 &
CODEC-2 w.r.t the frame clock and also w.r.t the TDM OUT test point.

STUDY OF PCM VOICE CODING AND CODEC FREQUENCY RESPONSE.

AIM:- The aim of this experiment is to study the linearizized A-Law PCM cosing. The analog and
digital conversion as well as the reverse process and the filtering characteristics of the CODEC chip
145502 used in the OFC kit.

THEORY:-
Present techniques of voice communication use standards such as A-Law / U- law companded PCM
voice coding at 64kbits/sec. When the analog speech signal is converted to pulse code modulation, it
first is filtered using a low pass filter with a cut-off at about 3.4KHz. The analog signal is sampled at
8kHz as per the Nyquist Criteria. Each sample is quantized and coded into eight bits per sample.

Voice signal has a varying amplitude range that varies from one conversion to another. If the
quantization levels are uniformly spaced then it certainly creates problems such as.,
1. If the amplitude of the signal is small, quantization levels have to be closely spaced. This
gives proper resolution.
2. If the signal amplitudes are large then this fine resolution will result in increasing the no of
code bits.
3. Normally, unequal spacing of quantization levels are used.
The digital data output is in PCM form. The codec chip used exhibits both A-law and U-law
companding techniques.
