Time Division Multiplexing of2BandlimitedSignals

Aim: To design and demonstrated the working of TDM using Pulse Amplitude
Modulated signals
Components required: Transistors-SL-l00, SK-l00, Resistors- 1kΩ, 1.5kΩ, Op-Amp
µA741.

Theory:-TDM is a technique used for transmitting several message signals over a


communication channel by dividing the time frame into slots, one slot for each
message signal. This is a digital technique in which the circuit is highly modular in
nature and provides reliable and efficient operation. There is no crosstalk in TDM due
to circuit nonlinearities since the pulses are completely isolated. But it also has its
disadvantages, which include timing jitter and synchronization is required. In pulse-
amplitude modulation, the amplitude of a periodic train of pulses is varied in
proportion to a message signal. TDM provides an effective method for sharing a
communication channel.

Procedure:
1. Rig up the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram for multiplexer.
2. Feed the input message signals ml and m2 of 2 volts P-P at 200 Hz.
3. Feed the high frequency carrier signal of 2V (P-P) at2kHz.
4. Observe the multiplexed output.
5. Rig up the circuit for demultiplexer.

Theory:

Amplitude Modulation is an electronic communication systems technique wherein the


base band signal is superimposed with the amplitude of the carrier wave ie the amplitude of
the carrier wave is varying with proportion to the base waveform being transmitted. Amplitude
Modulation has been in use since the earliest days of radio technology.
When an amplitude modulated signal is created, the amplitude of the created signal
represents the original base band signal to be transmitted. This amplitude forms an envelope
over the under lying high frequency carrier wave. Here the overall envelope of the carrier is
modulated to carry the audio signal.
Demodulation is a process where the signal that is a mixture of the amplitude of the
base band signal and the frequency of the carrier signal, is deconstructed to yield the original
signal that is to be transmitted. Amplitude modulation and demodulation are equally simple
toperform.TheAmplitudemodulatedsignalneedsjustasimplediodedetectorcircuittodemodulate.
The Diode rectifier rectifies the incoming signal, allowing only one half of the signal wave
format pass through. The capacitor is then used to remove the radio frequency parts of the
signal, leaving just the original waveform.

Aim : To conduct an experiment to generate FSK signal and also design a circuit to
demodulate the same.

Components Required: Op-amp (741), Diode(OA79), SL-100 transistor, Resistor,


Capacitor, function generator.

Theory: Frequency-shift keying (FSK) is a frequency modulation scheme in which digital


information is transmitted through discrete frequency changes of a carrier wave. The simplest
FSK is binary FSK (BFSK). As suggested by the name, BFSK uses two discrete frequencies
to transmit binary (O's and J's) information. In this scheme, binary 1 represents the frequency
of one carrier and 0 represents the frequency of the other carrier. Here frequency of the
carrier is switched between two values. A sinusoidal of amplitude' A' and frequency fc1 is
used to represent a binary '1' and frequency fc2 is used to represent binary '0'. FSK modulated
waveform can be represented as,

Procedure:

1. Before connection check all the components.

tethe above signal with suitable circuit.

Components Required: Resistors, Capacitors, Op-amps, diodes, signal generators, CRO,


power Supply

Theory: Phase shift keying is also one of the simplest digital modulation technique. In this
system of modulation symbol 'l' is represented by phase 'Ǿ1' and symbol 'O' is represented by
phase' Ǿ2' DPSK is one of the digital modulation schemes like PSK. Alternative to P.SK,
instead of using the patterns to set the phase of the wave, it can instead be used to change it
by a specified amount. The demodulator then determines the changes in the phase of the
received signal rather than the Phase itself. Since this scheme depends on the difference
between successive phases, it. termed Differential phase-shift keying(DPSK).

FREQUENCY MODULATION USINGIC8038


Aim: To design and conduct an experiment to generateFMwaveusingIC8038.

2 capacitor 1µf 1
0.01µf 1
3 IC 8038 1
4 DC power supply 12V 1
5 CRO & probes
6 Signal generator Sine-wave 1

Theory: FM is one of the angle modulation in which the instantaneous frequency is varied
linearly with the message signal. The IC 8038 waveform generator is a monolithic integrated
circuit capable of producing high accuracy sine square, triangular, saw tooth and pulse
waveforms with a minimum number of external components.
BasisprincipleofIC8038
The operation of IC 8038 is based on charging and discharging of a grounded capacitor
C, whose charging and discharging rates are controlled by programmable current generators Ia
and Ib. When switch is at position A, the capacitor charges at a rate determined by current source
Ia . Once the capacitor voltage reaches Vut, the upper comparator (CMP 1) triggers and reset the
flip-flop output. This causes a switch position to change from position A to B. Now, capacitor
charge discharging at the rate determined by the current sink Ib .Once the capacitor reaches
lower threshold voltage, the lower comparator (CMP 2) triggers and set the flip-flop output. This
causes the switch position to change from position B to A. And this cycle repeats. As a result, we
get square wave at the output of Flip flop and triangular wave across capacitor. The triangular
wave is then passed through the on chip wave shaper to generate sign wave. To allow automatic
frequency controls, currents Ia and Ib are made programmable through an external control
voltage Bi. For equal magnitudes of Ia and Ib, output waveforms are symmetrical conversely,

Page15
COMMUNICATION LAB 18ECL67

when two currents are unequal, output waveforms are asymmetrical. By making, one of
the

currents much larger than other we can get saw-tooth waveform across capacitor and
rectangular wave format the output of flip-flop.
Working:
The frequency of the waveform generator is direct function of the dc voltage at terminal
By altering this voltage, frequency modulation is performed. For small deviations, the
modulating signal can be applied to pins, merely providing dc-dc coupling with a capacitor. An
external resistor between pins 7and 8 is not necessary but it can be used to increase input
impedance from about8k. The sine wave has relatively high output impedance. The circuit may
use a simple op amp follower to provide a buffering gain and amplitude adjustments. The
IC8038 is fabricated with advanced monolithic technology, using Schottky-barrier diodes and
thin film resistors, and the output is stable over a wide range of temperatures and supply
variations.

Measurement of Frequency, Guide Wavelength, Power, Vswr and


Attenuation In A Microwave Test Bench
Aim :To conductanexperimenttoobtainguidewavelength,frequency,powerandattenuationin a
microwave test bench.

Components required: Attenuator, frequency meter, isolator, oscillator, detector, klystron


power supply, vswr meter and CRO.

Theory:
There flex klystron makes use of velocity modulation to transform a continuous electron
beam into microwave power. Electrons emitted from the cathode are accelerated and passed
through the positive resonator towards negative reflector, which retards and finally, reflects
the electrons and the electrons turn back through the resonator, suppose an rf field exist
between the resonators the electrons travelling forward will be accelerated electrons leave the
resonator at an the voltage at the Resonator changes in amplitude. The accelerated electrons
leave the resonator at an increased velocity and the retarded electrons leave at the reduced
velocity. The electrons leaving the resonator will need different time to return, due to change
in velocities. As a result, returning electrons group together in bunches. As the bunches pass-
through resonator, they interact with voltage at resonator grids. If the bunches pass the grid at
such a time that the electrons are slowed down by the voltage then energy will be delivered
totheresonatorandKlystronwilloscillate.Thedimensionsofresonantcavityprimarilydetermine
the frequency. Hence, by changing the volume of resonator, mechanical tuning of Klystron is
possible. Also a small frequency change can be obtained by adjusting the reflector voltage.
This is called Electronic Tuning.

Theory of Ring Resonator


The open-end effect encountered in a rectangular resonator at the feeding gaps can be
minimized by forming the resonator as a closed loop. Such a resonator is called a ring
resonator. Figure 7.4 shows the layout of a ring resonator along with the input and output
feed lines. As explained in the case of the rectangular resonator, the coupling can be loose or
tight depending on the gap width. Resonance is established when the mean circumference of
the ring is equal to integral multiples of guide wavelength.

Fig..18 Layout of a micro strip ring resonator with input and output lines
In (.6), ro is the mean radius of the ring and n is the mode number. The other symbols are
defined in section .1. The ring has the lowest order resonance for n = 1. For this mode, the
field maxima occur at the two coupling gaps and nulls occur at 90 locations from the
coupling gaps.
Equation (.6) does not take into account the coupling effects at the gaps. As explained in
section .1 for the rectangular resonator, the resonance frequency of the ring is also affected by
the coupling gap. The deviation from the intrinsic resonant frequency, however, is much
smaller than in the case of a rectangular resonator.
Coupling can be increased up to some extent by making the feeding lines as curved shown in
fig..5.

Power Division and Isolation characteristics of a micro strip 3dB


Power divider
Aim: To measure the power division and isolation characteristics of micro strip power
divider.

Apparatus: Power supply, attenuators, detector, active filter, CRO, metal zig, VSWR,
50ohm mismatch terminals.

Procedure:

1. First check only for sine wave without connecting the metal zig and set the frequency as 5
GHz.
2. Now remove the connection to CRO and connect It to VSWR.
3. Set the VSWR to 0.
4. Connect the metal zig also.
5. If p2 is considered as output then p3 is connected to 50ohm mismatch terminator and vice-
versa.
6. pI is always considered as input.
7. Calculate the power arm2 and 3and isolation which should be zero.

Theory:

Power divider is a 3 port device in which one input port and two output ports. When the
power is fed at input port 1,power will emerge from the other two ports 2 and 3.it is
impossible

Filter Using Simu- link Raised Cosine Filter Blocks

The Raised Cosine Transmit Filter and Raised Cosine Receive Filter blocks are designed for
raised cosine filtering. Each block can apply a square-root raised cosine filter or a normal
raised cosine filter to a signal. You can vary the roll off factor and span of the filter.
The Raised Cosine Transmit Filter and Raised Cosine Receive Filter blocks are tailored for
use at the transmitter and receiver, respectively. The transmit filter outputs an up
sampled(interpolated)signal,while the receive filter expects its input signal to be up sampled.
The Receive filter lets you choose whether to have the block down sample (decimate) the
filtered signal be for sending it to the output port.
Both raised cosine filter blocks introduce a propagation delay, as described in Group Delay.
Combining Two Square-Root Raised Cosine Filters
This model shows how to split the filtering equally between the transmitter's filter and the
receiver's filter by using a pair of square root raised cosine filters.
The use of two matched square root raised cosine filter s is equivalent to a single normal
raised cosine filter. To see this illustrated, load the model doc_rrcfilter compare by typing the
following at the MATLAB command line.
doc_rrc filter compare

Fig3: Simulink Model for eye diagram and signal space diagram

The filters share the same span and use the same number samples per symbol but the filter s
on the upper path have a square root shape while the filter on the lower path has the normal
shape. Run the model and observe the eye and constellation diagrams. The performance is
nearly identical for the two methods. Note that the limited impulse response of practical
square root raised cosine filters causes a slight difference between the response of two
cascaded square root raised cosine filters and the response of one raised cosine filter.

Building Simulink Model of QPSK Modulator and Demodulator:


I. Standard QPSK Simulation
The Simulink model of QPSK modulator and demodulator is shown below

Page55
COMMUNICATION LAB 18ECL67

Build the Simulink model shown in Figure1.


1. Double-click on the Random Integer Generator and adjust the set size to a proper value
(Remember that the input to the QPSK modulator should be either 0, 1, 2, or3).
2. In the Random Integer Generator block, set the Sample Time to 1e-6 (i.e. 1 µs) and the
Samples per frame parameter to 1024.
3. In the AWGN block, set the Symbol period parameter to 1e-6 (i.e. 1 µs) and the Number
of bits per symbol parameterto2 (since QPSK uses 2 bits per symbol).
4. For the Error Rate Calculation block, set the Output data field to “port” so you can
connect the Display block.
5. The Display Block will show you three values. The first value is the BER, the second
value is the number of incorrect bits, and the third value is the total number of bits
received. Set the simulation time to 10 seconds.
6. In both QPSK Modulator and Demodulator blocks, set the Constellation ordering to
Gray. Take a note of the constellation points.
7. In this experiment, you will adjust the value of the in the AWGN block, starting from 3,
incrementing by 1 every step, and ending at 15, and observe the error rate displayed in
the Display block. Make a table recording the value of and the corresponding BER.
8. Plot BER vs. and compare with the theoretical values. Comment on the results.
9. Repeat for Binary Constellation ordering in both QPSK modulator and demodulator
blocks and comment on the results

RESULT Thus QPSK transmitter, receiver constellation diagram we regenerated using


MATLAB and output was verified successfully.

BER Performance Analysis of M-ary DPSK Techniques Using Simulation Modeling


Data at every time step. The Sample time parameter enables to specify a sampling interval at
which to display points. In this simulation, a generic m file is used together with simulink to
simulate the BER vs. Eb/No graphs. This m file declares the parameters defined in the
Simulink‟s block diagram checkbox. First, the simulation is done by running the concerned
.mdl file of the designed model. Once the output values are stored in the workspace, the
associated .m file is typed under the command window and it is run. Finally, BER graph
vsEb/No(SNR) graphs are obtained once the simulation is complete.

1. TheBERforallthedigitalModulationschemesdecreasemonotonicallywithincreasingvalu

2. It is observed from the simulation curves and the mathematical analysis of the signals
that, as the number of signals or number of M increases, the error probability or more
clearly the probability of error rate is increased.
3. Both simulation using Simulink and .m files show that the performance of M-
arydifferentialmodulationtechniquesinAWGNchannelhasalmostsamebiterrorperforma
nce. So, the simulation of higher order modulation techniques can be done easily
using Simulink as compared to creating complex m files.
4. Simulation of DBPSK using Simulink gives the best results. This tool also simplifies
the process of passing from simulation to implementation, without the necessity of
being a specialized hardware engineer.
