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 f0 and f1), 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 f0 and f1 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 f0 and f1 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 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", Department of ECE 1 ME& DC Lab

RVR Institute of Engineering and Technology 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.

Procedure:
1. Study the theory of operation. 2. Connect the trainer to mains and switch on the power supply. 3. Verify the operation of the logic source using CRO.

Block Diagram:

Fig 3.1: Block Diagram of TDM and De-multiplexing System

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. Applications 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.
