DIGITAL COMMUNICATION 2019
EXPERIMENT NO. 1
AIM: Study of Sampling theorem and Reconstruction of signal. Verify Nyquist criteria.
APPARATUS: Model ST 2151 trainer kit, connection wires, DSO, Power supply.
THEORY: The signals we use in the real world, such as our voice, are called "analog" signals.
To process these signals for digital communication, we need to convert analog signals to
"digital" form. While an analog signal is continuous in both time and amplitude, a digital signal
is discrete in both time and amplitude. To convert continuous time signal to discrete time signal,
a process is used called as sampling. The value of the signal is measured at certain intervals in
time. Each measurement is referred to as a sample.
In electronics, a sample and hold circuit is used to interface real world, changing analogue
signals to a subsequent system such as an analog-to-digital converter. The purpose of this
circuit is to hold the analogue value steady for a short time while the converter or other
following system performs some operation that takes a little time. In most circuits, a capacitor
is used to store the analogue voltage and an electronic switch or gate is used to alternately
connect and disconnect the capacitor from the analogue input. The rate at which this switch is
operated is the sampling rate of the system.
NYQUIST CRITERION (SAMPLING THEOREM):
The Nyquist Criterion states that a continuous signal band limited to fm Hz can be completely
represented by and reconstructed from the samples taken at a rate greater than or equal to 2fm
samples/second. The minimum sampling frequency is called as NYQUIST RATE i.e. for
faithful reproduction.
SAMPLE AND HOLD:
One way to maintain reasonable pulse energy is to hold the sample value until the next sample
is taken. This technique is formed as Sample and Hold technique. A buffered Sample and Hold
circuit consists of unity gain buffers preceding and succeeding the charging capacitor. The high
input impedance of the proceeding buffer prevents the loading of the message source and also
ensures that the capacitor charges by a constant rate irrespective of the source impedance.

EXPERIMENT NO. 2
AIM: To study the PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation), PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
& PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) of analog signal.
APPARATUS: Connecting Probes, DSO, PAM-PWM-PPM Modulation Kit.
THEORY: The aim of pulse modulation methods is to transfer a narrowband analog signal,
for example a phone call over a wideband baseband channel or, in some of the schemes, as a
bit stream over another digital transmission system.
Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM):
In pulse amplitude modulation system the amplitude of the pulse is varied in accordance with
the instantaneous level of the modulating signal. Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM), is a form
of signal modulation where the message information is encoded in the amplitude of a series of
signal pulses. It is an analog pulse modulation scheme in which the amplitudes of a train of
carrier pulses are varied according to the sample value of the message signal. Demodulation is
performed by detecting the amplitude level of the carrier at every symbol period.
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM):

Pulse-width modulation (PWM), or pulse-duration modulation (PDM), is a modulation
technique that controls the width of the pulse, formally the pulse duration, based on modulator
signal information. Although this modulation technique can be used to encode information for
transmission, its main use is to allow the control of the power supplied to electrical devices,
especially to inertial loads such as motors. In addition, PWM is one of the two principal
algorithms used in photovoltaic solar battery chargers.
Pulse Position Modulation (PPM):

In PPM System, the position of the pulse relative to the zero reference level is varied in
accordance with the instantaneous level of the modulating signal. Pulse Position Modulation
(PPM) differs from PWM in that the value of each instantaneous sample of a modulating wave
is caused to vary the position in time of a pulse, relative to its non-modulated time of
occurrence. Each pulse has identical shape independent of the modulation depth. This is an
attractive feature, since a uniform pulse is simple to reproduce with a simple switching power
stage. On the other hand, a limitation of PPM is the requirements for pulse amplitude level if
reasonable powers are required. The power supply level of the switching power stage will have
to be much higher than the required load voltage. This leads to sub-optimal performance on
several parameters as efficiency, complexity and audio performance.

AIM: To write a MATLAB program to sample the sinusoidal message signal at different
sampling rate and verify the Nyquist criteria. Also reconstruct the sampled signal using
low pass filter (Using FDA Tools).
APPARATUS: MATLAB Software
THEORY:
Sampling: Sampling is the process in which a continuous time signal is sampled by measuring
its amplitude at discrete instants.
Sampling Theorem: The Sampling Theorem states that a signal whose spectrum is band-
limited to Fm Hz can be reconstructed exactly (without error) from its samples taken uniformly
at a frequency Fs ≥ 2Fm (Samples per second).
In other words, the minimum sampling frequency is Fs = 2·Fm.
The frequency 2· Fm is called the Nyquist sampling rate.
The corresponding sampling interval Ts = 1/(Fs) is called Nyquist interval.

EXPERIMENT NO: 4
AIM: To study Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), its demodulation and its application in
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM).
APPARATUS: TDM Pulse code modulator & transmitter (ST2153), TDM Pulse code
Demodulator & receiver (ST2154), DSO, testing probes, connecting wires
THEORY:
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a method used to digitally represent sampled analog signals.
Analog voice data must be translated into a series of binary digits before they can be transmitted.
With PCM, the amplitude of the wave to be transmitted is sampled at regular intervals and
translated into a binary number.
Sampling and quantization of a signal for 4-bit PCM
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a type of digital (or rarely analog) multiplexing in
which switching takes place between two or more signals (mostly PCM signals), serially in
time. In this the time domain is divided into several recurrent time slots of fixed length, one for
each sub-channel.

Procedure:
1. Set the initial conditions on both the kits.

2. Make connections as shown in Figure 1.1 as follows:

a) ~2 KHz Signal to CH.I Input.
b) ~4 KHz Signal to CH.II Input.

Tx. TO output Rx. TO input

3. Set the 7- bit pattern for A/D conversion. Observe that the same set of data should be there
for D/A conversion.
4. Vary DC signal (I) and note that the LED's on the A/D converter block on ST2153 & D/A
converter of ST2154 always carries the same code. If you desire to examine the timing of
data flow & control signal in detail, switch the transmitter & receiver into SLOW mode.
5. Observe the two output waveforms at TDM PCM Receiver's CH.I (TP47) & CH.II (TP50)
outputs are distortion less & also observe the LED's in the error check code detector block
are 'OFF'.

CONCLUSION:

EXPERIMENT NO:6
AIM: To study and observe the performance of Return to Zero (RZ) and Non Return to
Zero (NRZ) types of Line Coding.
APPARATUS: Testing probes, DSO, connecting probes, Data formation and transmitter
carrier modulation kit (ST2156)
THEORY:
Line coding consists of representing the digital signal to be transported by an amplitude- and
time-discrete signal that is optimally tuned for the specific properties of the physical channel
(and of the receiving equipment). The waveform pattern of voltage or current used to represent
the 1s and 0s of a digital data on a transmission link is called line encoding. The common types
of line encoding are unipolar, polar, bipolar, and encoding. Line codes are used commonly in
computer communication networks over short distances. Each of the various line formats has
a particular advantage and disadvantage. It is not possible to select one, which will meet all
needs. The format may be selected to meet one or more of the following criteria:
 Minimize transmission hardware

 Facilitate synchronization
 Ease error detection and correction
 Minimize spectral content
 Eliminate a dc component
The Manchester code is quite popular. It is known as a self-clocking code because there is
always a transition during the bit interval. Consequently, long strings of zeros or ones do not
cause clocking problems.
Figure 1.1 Classification of Line Codes

Figure 1.2 Various Data formatting techniques
1. Non-Return-to-Zero Code
The non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format is the prototypical representation of binary data: A

logical zero state is transmitted as one signal level, and a logical one state as another level.
Levels change at bit boundaries only if the bit value changes and remain stable for the entire
duration of the bit period. If the level representing the zero logical bit state is lower than the
level for the one state, we call this positive logic, and the respective levels are then called low
level and high level. NRZ signals always have a clock signal associated with them, even if it is
not transmitted along with the data. Figure 1.3 shows the NRZ representation of a short data
sequence, together with a clock signal.
Figure 1.3 NRZ Waveforms
2. Return-to-Zero Code
The return-to-zero (RZ) code represents the zero logical state as a static low level and the one
state as a short high-level pulse. The signal always returns to the level representing a zero state
immediately after the high level, hence the name. RZ signals can be easily created from NRZ
signals, by a binary AND of the NRZ and a clock. The width of the pulses depends on the duty
cycle of the clock. Figure 1.4 shows the RZ representation of a short data sequence.

Figure 1.4 RZ Waveforms
3. (Biphase) Manchester
Manchester code is generated from NRZ data by a binary XOR with a clock signal. Since there
are two possible clock phases, there are also two variants of Manchester code. The coded data
has a transition in the middle of every bit, and the direction of this transition indicates a binary
zero or one. The original Manchester variant uses a falling edge for a one and a rising edge for
a zero; the other variant is the exact inverse. Figure 1.5 Shown the Manchester code.
Figure 1.5 Manchester Waveforms
4. Biphase (Mark):
For any bit either 1 or 0, first half bit duration +5V or 0V and invert of first half during next
half bit duration. Bit 0 Bit Pattern remains the same.
Figure 1.6 Mark Waveforms
5. Return to Bias (RB):
During the first half a period, positive level for bit 1 and a negative level for bit 0 and during
the second half bit time, both returns to the bias level.

Figure 1.7 RB Waveforms
6. Alternate Mark Inversion
Like RB encoding, the AMI always returns to the bias level during second half of the bit time
interval and during the first half the transmitted level can be a positive, a negative or bias
level, as for a bit 0 bias level and for a bit 1 either a positive level or negative level, the level
being chose opposite to what it was used to represent the previous bit 1.

CONCLUSION:

EXPERIMENT NO: 7
AIM: To perform the Delta and Adaptive delta Modulation and Demodulation technique
on Experiment kit and observe various outputs using DSO.
APPARATUS: Connecting Probes, DSO, Delta and Adaptive Delta Modulation Kit.
THEORY:
Delta modulator technique has evolved a simple, efficient method for digitizing input signal
for secure, reliable communications and for voice input- output in data processing.
What is Delta Modulator?

Delta modulator (DM or Δ-modulation) is an analog-to-digital and digital-to analog signal
conversion technique used for transmission of voice information where quality is not of
primary importance. DM is the simplest form of differential pulse-code modulation (DPCM)
where the difference between successive samples is encoded into n-bit data streams. In delta
modulation, the transmitted data is reduced to a 1-bit data stream.
The modulator is a sampled data system employing a feedback loop. A comparator senses
whether or not the instantaneous level of the analog input is greater or less than the feedback
signal. The comparator output is clocked by a flip-flop to form a continuous NRZ digital data
stream. This digital data is also integrated and feedback to the comparator. The feedback
system is such that the integrator ramps up and down to produce a rough approximation of the
input waveform. One can see that the digital data 0’s and 1’s are command to the integrators
to “go up” or “go down” respectively. Delta Modulation attempts to represent an analog signal
with a resolution of 1 bit. This is accomplished by successive steps, either up or down, by a
preset step size. In delta modulation, we have the step size (Δ) that is defined for each sampler,
and we have the following rules for output:
i) If the input signal is higher than the current reference signal, increase the reference
by Δ, and output a 1.
ii) If the input signal is lower than the current reference signal, decrease the reference
by Δ, and output a 0.
Delta demodulator is a simple integrator and as the logic 1s and 0s are received, the up-down
counter is incremented or decremented accordingly.

Adaptive delta modulator technique has evolved a simple, efficient method for digitizing input
signal for secure, reliable communications and for voice input- output in data processing.
What is Adaptive Delta Modulator?

Delta modulation is an important modulation technique employed for data communication.
Since slope overload error is a big problem in delta modulation, adaptive delta modulation
became more important.
Working: A simple block diagram of the ADM is shown in Fig. The accumulator generates a
data based on the past ADM pulses transmitted, which would always try to approach the given
analog signal. The sampled form of the analog signal and the analog equivalent of the
accumulator are compared in an analog comparator C and the present ADM pulses are
produced. The step generator produces the new step at every clock. The proposed algorithm
for generating the step size can be stated as follows. When the accumulated signal doesn’t cross
the analog signal in the comparator, the step size is doubled so that it would catch the input
analog signal quickly and when once it crosses it, the step size is made as half the previous step
and not made unity step. If there is another crossover by the next clock the step again reduces
to half of the previous value. Nevertheless, the minimum step size that can be reached is kept
as unity. If the accumulated signal is continuously above (or below) the given analog input
signal the step size doubles every time and it is made as half of the previous step after reaching
three consecutive increase in step size and thereafter the step doubling process would continue.

Adaptive Delta Demodulator:
The ADM demodulator has somewhat similar function as modulator. The receiver also follows
the same algorithm as that of the transmitter and the accumulator at the receiver at any time
would build the same pattern of signal generated by the accumulator of the transmitter. The
received ADM pulses are given to the SP register and used as the instantaneous command for
the ADD/SUB input of the 8AS. If this is of logic ‘1’ it adds up the STR register to the
accumulator (AC) otherwise it would subtract it from the AC.

AIM: To study the Raised Cosine Filter in time domain as well as in frequency domain
using MATLAB software.
Apparatus: MATLAB software.
THEORY:
Raised Cosine Filter
A raised cosine filter is a low-pass filter which is commonly used for pulse shaping in data
transmission systems (e.g. modems). The frequency response |H(f)| of a perfect raised cosine
filter is symmetrical about 0 Hz, and is divided into three parts : it is flat (constant) in the pass-
band; it sinks in a graceful cosine curve to zero through the transition region; and it is zero
outside the pass-band. The response of a real filter is an approximation to this behaviour.
The equations which defined the filter contain a parameter ``beta'', which is known as the roll-
off factor or the excess bandwidth. ``beta'' lies between 0 and 1.
A family of spectra that satisfy the Nyquist Theorem is the raised cosine family whose spectra
are
 f is the frequency.
 T is the symbol time.
 beta is the rolloff factor.
Where the parameter roll-off factor beta is a real number on the interval 0≤ β ≤1that
determines the bandwidth of the spectrum.
BW= (1+ β)/Ts = (1+ β) Rs
The corresponding time domain signal is
 t is the time.
 T is the symbol time.
 beta is the rolloff factor.

EXPERIMENT NO: 10
AIM: To study Modulation and Demodulation of signal using Quadrature Amplitude

Modulation and to study the Constellation diagram as well as Eye-diagram on MATLAB
software.
APPARATUS: MATLAB software.
Theory:
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation or QAM is a form of modulation which is widely used for
modulating data signals onto a carrier used for radio communications. It is widely used because
it offers advantages over other forms of data modulation such as PSK, although many forms of
data modulation operate alongside each other.
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, QAM is a signal in which two carriers shifted in phase by
90 degrees are modulated and the resultant output consists of both amplitude and phase
variations. In view of the fact that both amplitude and phase variations are present it may also
be considered as a mixture of amplitude and phase modulation. A motivation for the use of
quadrature amplitude modulation comes from the fact that a straight amplitude modulated
signal, i.e. double sideband even with a suppressed carrier occupies twice the bandwidth of the
modulating signal. This is very wasteful of the available frequency spectrum. QAM restores
the balance by placing two independent double sideband suppressed carrier signals in the same
spectrum as one ordinary double sideband suppressed carrier signal.
Quadrature amplitude modulation, QAM, when used for digital transmission for radio
communications applications is able to carry higher data rates than ordinary amplitude
modulated schemes and phase modulated schemes. As with phase shift keying, etc., the number
of points at which the signal can rest, i.e. the number of points on the constellation is indicated
in the modulation format description, e.g. 16QAM uses a 16 point constellation.
When using QAM, the constellation points are normally arranged in a square grid with equal
vertical and horizontal spacing and as a result the most common forms of QAM use a
constellation with the number of points equal to a power of 2 i.e. 4, 16, 64 . . . . By using higher
order modulation formats, i.e. more points on the constellation, it is possible to transmit more
bits per symbol. However the points are closer together and they are therefore more susceptible
to noise and data errors. Normally a QAM constellation is square and therefore the most
common forms of QAM 16QAM, 64QAM and 256QAM.
The advantage of moving to the higher order formats is that there are more points within the
constellation and therefore it is possible to transmit more bits per symbol. The downside is that
the constellation points are closer together and therefore the link is more susceptible to noise.
As a result, higher order versions of QAM are only used when there is a sufficiently high signal
to noise ratio.

Constellation Diagram
A constellation diagram is a representation of a signal modulated by a digital modulation
scheme such as quadrature amplitude modulation or phase-shift keying. It displays the signal
as a two-dimensional scatter diagram in the complex plane at symbol sampling instants. In a
more abstract sense, it represents the possible symbols that may be selected by a given
modulation scheme as points in the complex plane. Measured constellation diagrams can be
used to recognize the type of interference and distortion in a signal.
Eye Diagram
In telecommunication, an eye pattern, also known as an eye diagram, is an oscilloscope display
in which a digital data signal from a receiver is repetitively sampled and applied to the vertical
input, while the data rate is used to trigger the horizontal sweep. It is so called because, for
several types of coding, the pattern looks like a series of eyes between a pair of rails. It is an
experimental tool for the evaluation of the combined effects of channel noise and Inter-symbol
interference on the performance of a baseband pulse-transmission system. It is the
synchronized superposition of all possible realizations of the signal of interest viewed within a
particular signaling interval.

In other words, the minimum sampling frequency is Fs = 2·Fm.

The frequency 2· Fm is called the Nyquist sampling rate.

The corresponding sampling interval Ts = 1/(Fs) is called Nyquist interval.
