1. AMPLITUDE MODULATION AND DEMODULATION

AIM: To study the AM waveforms for different modulation depths and measure the

value of modulation index.

APPARATUS:

1. Experimental board on AM, FT 1501 -- 1 no


2. Dual trace CRO -- 1 no

Theory:
In Amplitude modulation, the amplitude of the carrier signal is varied in accordance with
the instantaneous values of the modulating signal whose frequency is lower than that of
the carrier frequency. In practice, the carrier signal is high frequency and the modulating
signal is audio frequency.
Let the carrier voltage and the modulating voltage, Vc and Vm respectively
represented by

Vc=Vc sin ωct


Vm=Vm sin ωct and V is the Amplitude of AM signal and is given as
V=Vc+Vm
V =Vc+m Vc sin ωct (where m=Vm/Vc)
And m is the modulation index or depth of modulation of the AM signal
V=Vc(1+m sin ωct)
Instantaneous value of AM amplitude is V sin θ
V=V sin ωct=Vc(1+m sin ωct) sin ωct
=Vcsin ωct+mVc/2 cos(ωct+ ωmt)-mVc cos(ωct- ωmt)

In the above equation first term indicates the un modulated carrier, second and third
terms indicates the upper & lower side bands respectively.

Where USB=fc+fm & LSB=fc-fm


Modulation index can be calculated from the following:

experiment. Adjustments for Amplitude and Frequency are provided in
panel for ease of operation.

Modulator:

The IC MC 1496 is used as Modulator in this experiment. MC 1496 is a


monolithic integrated circuit balanced modulator/Demodulator, is versatile
and can be used up to 200 MHz.

Multiplier:

A balanced modulator is essentially a multiplier. The output of the MC


1496 balanced modulator is proportional to the product of the two input
signals. If you apply the same sinusoidal signal to both inputs of a
ballooned modulator, the output will be the square of the input signal
AM-DSB/SC: If you use two sinusoidal signals with deferent frequencies
at the two inputs of a balanced modulator (multiplier) you can produce
AM-DSB/SC modulation. This is generally accomplished using a high-
frequency “carrier” sinusoid and a lower frequency “modulation”
waveform (such as an audio signal from microphone). The figure 1.1 is a
plot of a DSB-SC waveform, this figure is the graph of a 100 KHz and a 5
KHz sinusoid multiplied together. Figure 1.2 shows the circuit that you
will use for this experiment using MC 1496-balanced
modulator/demodulator.

3. FREQUENCY MODULATION & DEMODULATION

AIM:

To study the process of frequency modulation and demodulation and measure the modulation
index.

APPARATUS:

1. Dual trace CRO -- 1 no


2. Experimental board, FT 1502 -- 1 no

Theory:

In frequency modulation the frequency of the carrier is varied in accordance with the
instantaneous values of the modulating signal. Thus the amplitude of the carrier does not change
due to frequency modulation. This is an advantage, since any incidental disturbances such as
atmospheric disturbance or manmade static primarily appears in the form of variation of
amplitude of the carrier voltage and may be eliminated in a frequency modulated receiver which
is made insensitive to amplitude variation.

The frequency variation in the carrier called the frequency deviation is proportional to the
instantaneous value of the modulating voltage. The frequency deviation is represented by fd &
given as fd=f max-fc or fc - fmin

Where fc – carrier frequency

fmax=fc+kf Vm/2π

fmin=fc-kfVm/2π

where kf modulating signal voltage

Vm=Vm cos ωmt

Vc=Vc cos ωmt

The modulation index mf of FM is

δ=mf=fd/fm=ωd/ωm=kf vm/ωm

5. VERIFICATION OF SAMPLING THEOREM

AIM: To verify the sampling theorem.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

1. Sampling theorem verification trainer kit -- 1 No.

2. Function Generator (1MHz) -- 1 No.

3. Dual trace oscilloscope (20 MHz) -- 1 No.

Theory :

Pulse modulation is used to transmit analog information. In this system continuous wave forms
are sampled at regular intervals. Information regarding the signal is transmitted only at the
sampling times together with synchronizing signals.

At the receiving end, the original waveforms may be reconstituted from the information regarding
the samples.

Sampling theorem Statement:

A band limited signal of finite energy which has no frequency components higher than fm Hz, is
completely described by specifying the values of the signal at instants of time separated by ½ f m
seconds.

The sampling theorem states that, if the sampling rate in any pulse modulation system exceeds
twice the maximum signal frequency, the original signal can be reconstructed in the receiver with
minimum distortion.

Fs>2fm is called Nyquist rate.

Where fs – sampling frequency

Fm – Modulating signal frequency

If we reduce the sampling frequency fs<fm, the side bands and the information signal will overlap
and we cannot recover the information signal simply by low pass filter. This phenomenon is
called fold over distortion or Aliasing.

There are two methods of sampling (i) Natural sampling (ii) flat top sampling.

Sample and Hold circuit holds the sample value until the next sample is taken.

R.V.R. & J.C. College of Engineering, Guntur – 15 Page No. 23


EC 361 ANALOG & DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS LAB Dept. of ECE

Sample & Hold technique is used to maintain reasonable pulse energy.

The duty cycle of a signal is defined as the ratio of pulse duration to the pulse repetition period.
The duty cycle of 50% is desirous taking the efficiency into account.

5. Initially set the potentiometer to minimum level and sampling frequency to 200Hz and
observe the output on the CRO. Now by adjusting the potentiometer, vary the amplitude of
modulating signal and observe the output of sampling circuit. Note that the amplitude of
the sampling pulses will be varying in accordance with the amplitude of the
modulating signal.

7. PAM AND RECONSTRUCITON

AIM: To verify the Pulse Amplitude Modulation and demodulation processes

APPARATUS:

1. Dual Trace CRO -- 1 no


2. Experimental board, FT 1503 -- 1 no

Theory:
Pulse modulation is used to transmit analog information. In this system
continuous waveforms are sampled at regular intervals. Information regarding the signal
is transmitted only at the sampling times together with syncing signals.
At the receiving end, the original waveforms may be reconstituted from the
information regarding the samples.
The pulse amplitude modulation is the simplest form of the pulse modulation.
PAM is a pulse modulation system is which the signal is sampled at regular intervals, and
each sample is made proportional to the amplitude of the signal at the instant of sampling.
The pulses are then sent by either wire or cable are used to modulated carrier.
The two types of PAM are (i) double polarity PAM and (ii) The single polarity
PAM, in which a fixed dc level is added to the signal to ensure that the pulse are always
positive. Instantaneous PAM sampling occurs if the pulses used in the modulator are
infinitely short.
Natural PAM sampling occurs when finite-width pulses are used in the modulator,
but the tops of the pulses are forced to follow the modulating waveform.
Flat-topped sampling is a system quite often used because of the ease of
generating the modulated wave.
PAM signals are very rarely used for transmission purposes directly. The reason
for this lies in the fact that the modulating information is contained in the amplitude
factor of the pulses, which can be easily distorted during transmission by noise, crosstalk,
or other form of distortion. They are used frequently as an intermediate step in other
pulse-modulating methods, especially where time division multiplexing is used.
Demodulation:
The demodulation section comprises of a fourth order low pass filter and an AC
amplifier. The TL074 (U5) is used as a lowpass filter and AC amplifier the output of the
modulator is given as the input to the lowpass filter.
The lowpass filter output is obviously less and it is fed to the AC amplifier which
comprises of a single Op-amp and whose output is amplified.

8. Generation and Detection of Pulse Code Modulation


Aim: To study the Pulse Code Modulation and Demodulation using PCM trainer kit

Apparatus: PCM kit, CRO and connecting probes.

Theory:

Pulse code modulation is a process of converting a analog signal into digital. The
voice or any data input is first sampled using a sampler (which is a simple switch) and
then quantized. Quantization is the process of converting a given signal amplitude to an
equivalent binary number with fixed number of bits. This quantization can be either
mid-tread or mid-raise and it can be uniform or non-uniform based on the requirements.
For example in speech singles, the higher amplitudes will be less frequent than the low
amplitudes. So higher amplitudes are given less step size than the lower amplitudes and
thus quantization is performed non-uniformly. After quantization the signal is digital and
the bits are passed through a parallel to serial converter and then launched into the
channel serially.

At the demodulator the received bits are first converted into parallel frames and each
frame is de-quantized to an equivalent analog value. This analog value is thus equivalent
to a sampler output. This is the demodulated signal.

In the kit this is implemented differently. The analog signal is passed trough a ADC
(Analog to Digital Converter) and then the digital code word is passed through a parallel
to serial converter block. This is modulated PCM. This is taken by the serial to parallel
converter and then through a DAC to get the demodulated signal. The clock is given to
all these blocks for synchronization. The input signal can be either DC or AC according
to the kit. The waveforms can be observed on a CRO for DC without problem. AC also
can be observed but with poor resolution.

Procedure:

The kit is self-explanatory. Identify the blocks according to the theory mentioned and
generate a PCM modulated signal and demodulate to check if the same signal is obtained
or not. The steps are also given below in a detailed fashion:

1. Power on the Future Tech PCM kit


2. Measure the frequency of sampling clock.
3. Apply the DC voltage as modulating signal.

4. Connect the DC input to the ADC and measure the voltage.


5. Connect the clock to the timing and control circuit.
6. Note the binary work form LED display. The serial data through the channel
can be observed in the CRO.
7. Also observe the binary word at the receiver end.
8. Now apply the AC modulating signal at the input
9. Observe the waveform at the output of DAC
10. Now the amplitude of the input voltage and the codeword. Also note the value
of the output voltage. Show the codeword graphically for a DC input.

Result: Pulse code modulation and demodulation for sinusoidal signal and DC signal are
observed and plotted.

9. Generation and Detection of Amplitude Shift Keying


Aim: To study the Amplitude Shift Keying Modulation and Demodulation using ASK
trainer kit.

Apparatus: ASK kit, CRO and Connecting probes.

Theory:

Amplitude Shift Keying modulation technique is used to transmit digital data using
sinusoidal carrier. When the output of source is binary „1‟ a sinusoidal carrier of
frequency „fc‟ and amplitude „Ac‟ will be transmitted. Whereas when binary „0‟ comes at
the output of the source no signal will be transmitted. ASK modulation technique is also
known as On-Off Keying (OOK). To demodulate the ASK waveform either envelope
detector or synchronous detector can be used. In this kit envelope detector is used. ASK
waveform is a kind of Amplitude Modulated waveform therefore information can be
recovered by passing the waveform through envelope detector followed by a low – pass
filter.

Procedure:

1. Connect the ac adaptor to the mains and the other side to the experimental trainer.
2. Observe the bit clock frequency on the oscilloscope and adjust the frequency to 10
KHz thereafter connect clock to pin no. 2 of IC 74165.
3. Set SPDT switches pattern to the desired code.
4. Parallel load by changing the switch to opposite side to shift side for a short duration
and get back to shift position.
5. Observe the 8 bit word pattern at the output of the 8 bit word generator and this is
the modulating signal.
6. Adjust the carrier frequency of 100KHz and 5V p-p and apply this as input to the
ASK modulator.
7. Connect the 8 bit word generators output to the data input terminal of the ASK
modulator.
8. Observe the data input on one channel of CRO and ASK output on the second
channel.
9. Apply ASK modulator output to the input of ASK demodulator and observe the
demodulated signal. Compare this waveform with modulating signal.

Result: Amplitude shift keying for sinusoidal carrier and square wave modulating signal are
observed and plotted.

10. Generation and Detection of Frequency Shift Keying


Aim: To study the operation of Frequency Shift Keying modulation and demodulation
with the help of kit.

Apparatus: FSK kit, CRO and connecting probes

Theory:

Frequency Shift Keying is the process generating a modulated signal from a digital
data input. If the incoming bit is 1, a signal with frequency f1 is sent for the duration of
the bit. IF the bit is 0, a signal with frequency f2 is sent for the duration of this bit. This is
the basic principle behind FSK modulation.

Basically a 555 timer is used as an A stable multivibrator, which generates a clock


pulse of frequency determined by the values of R and C in this circuit. This is divided by
2, 4, 8 and 16 using 74163 IC, and two of these outputs are used in a NAND logic gates
circuit, to generate a FSK modulated wave. To this NAND gates‟ circuit a binary data
sequence is also supplied. The circuit operation causes a frequency f1 for bit 1, and f2 for
bit 0. In the demodulator circuit, the FSK modulated signal is applied to a high Q tuned
filter. This filter is tuned to the frequency of either 0 or 1. This filter passes the selected
frequency and rejects the other. The output is then passed through a FWR (Full Wave
Rectifier) circuit and the output is now above zero volts only. It is then passed through a
comparator. If the input to the comparator is generator than threshold value, the output is
1, else it is 0. This digital output of the comparator is the demodulated FSK output.

Procedure:

1. Power on the kit. Apply one binary sequence as input message to the FSK modulator.
This sequence is taken form decade counter outputs.
2. Give the modulated FSK signal to the demodulator input. Observe the output of the
demodulator on the CRO along with the original data sequence. Adjust the tuning
controls (of filter and comparator) so that input and demodulated outputs are the same.
Do not touch the tuning controls after the adjustment is done.
3. Apply another data sequence input form the decade counter as input message and
observe the demodulated output message. Both will be identical. Note the FSK
modulated and demodulated waveforms. Sketch them with proper indications.

11 Generation and Detection of Phase Shift Keying


Aim: to study the operation of Phase Shift Keying modulation and demodulation with the
help of kit.

Apparatus: PSK kit, CRO and connecting probes

Theory:

Phase shift keying is a digital modulation technique. A cosinusoidal of a fixed frequency


and amplitude is taken. The digital data of 1‟s and 0‟s is converted to

S1(t)=Ac cos (2πfct)

S2(t)=Ac cos (2πfct+π)

respectively. In the kit, phase shift keying is obtained using an Op-AMP circuitry and
switch. If incoming bit is 0, the output is same as the carrier; if it is zero, the output is
1800 phase shifted version of the carrier signal. For demodulation a coherent detector is
used. It has 3 parts, a multiplier, and integrator and decision device.

Procedure:

1. Power on the kit. Apply carrier signal to the input of the modulator
2. Apply the modulating data signal from one of the decade counter‟s outputs.
Observe the modulated signal in the CRO.
3. Apply the PSK modulator output to the input of demodulator. Also apply the
carrier signal to the demodulator.
4. Observe the demodulator output on the CRO.

12 Generation and Detection of Quadrature Phase Shift Keying

Aim: To study the operation of Quadraturei Phase Shift Keying modulation and
demodulation with the help of kit.

Apparatus: QPSK kit, CRO and Connecting probes

Theory:

To transmit Digital Signal over limited band width channel various methods of
Modulation techniques were developed. In simple PSK system the phase of the carrier
was modulated such that the carrier phase is reversed during the logic „1‟ bit while the
carrier without any phase shift is transmitted during logic „0‟ bit. This method is also
known as Binary Phase Shift Keying. In QPSK the phase of the carrier depends upon the
pair of successive bits in the data stream. Thus there are four possible combinations of bit
pair viz 00,01,10, and 11. The block diagrammatic representation of QPSK modulator
and demodulator are shown in figure (a) and figure (b) respectively.

13. Generation and Detection of Differential Phase Shift Keying

Aim: To study the various steps involved in generating the differential binary signal and
differential phase shift keyed signal at the modulator and recovering the binary signal from
the received DPSK signal.

Apparatus: Cathode ray oscilloscope, Probes, Patch chords

Theory:
Figure below shows the block diagram of differential phase shift key modulation and de
modulation. The circuit has IC 8038 a basic wave form generator which generates sine,
square, triangle waveforms. The sine wave generated by 8038 Ic is used as a carrier signal to
the system. The square wave generated by 8038IC is ±12V level, so this is converted into a
+5V signal with the help of a transistor and diodes as shown in fig 1. This square wave is
used as a clock input to a decade counter which generates the modulating data outputs.

The differential signal to the modulating signal is generated using an Exclusive OR gate
and a 1 – bit delay circuit. CD 4051 is an analog multiplexer to which carrier is applied with
and without 180 degrees phase shift (created by using an operational amplifier connected in
inverting mode) to the two inputs of the IC 741. Differential signal generated by Ex-OR gate
(IC 7486) is given to the multiplexers control signal input depending upon the level of the
control signal, carrier signal applied with or without phase shift is steered to the output 1 –
bitdelay generation of differential signal to the input is created by using a D-flip flop
(IC7474). During the demodulation, the DPSK signal is converted into a +5V square wave
using a transistor and is applied to one input of the Ex-OR gate. To the second input of the
gate, carrier signal is applied after conversion into a +5V signal. So the Ex-OR gate output is
equivalent to the differential signal of the modulating data. This differential data is applied to
the one input of the Ex-OR gate and to the second input after 1-bit delta the same signal is
given. So the output of this Ex-OR gate is modulating signal.

trace oscilloscope, and observe the DPSK signal with respect to differential data also.

the carrier input of demodulator.

14. Generation and Detection of Delta Modulation


Aim: To study the operation of delta modulation and demodulation with the help of
kit.

Apparatus: DM kit, CRO and connecting probes

Theory:
Delta modulation is the DPCM technique of converting an analog message signal to a
digital sequence. The difference signal between two successive samples is encoded into a
single bit code. The block and kit diagrams show the circuitry details of the modulation
technique. A present sample of the analog signal m(t) is compared with a previous sample and
the difference output is level shifted, i.e. a positive level (corresponding to bit 1) is given if
difference is positive and negative level (corresponding to bit 0) if it is negative. The
comparison of samples is accomplished by converting the digital to analog form and then
comparing with the present sample. This is done using an Up counter and DAC as shown in
block diagram. The delta modulated signal is given to up counter and then a DAC and the
analog input is given to OPAMP and a LPF to obtain the demodulated output.

Procedure:
1. Switch on the kit. Connect the clock signal and the modulating input signal to the
modulator block. Observe the modulated signal in the CRO.
2. Connect the DM output to the demodulator circuit. Observe the demodulator output on
the CRO.
3. Also observe the DAC output on the CRO.
4. Change the amplitude of the modulating signal and observe the DAC output. Notice the
slope overload distortion. Keep the tuning knob so that the distortion is gone. Note this
value of the amplitude. This is the minimum required value of the amplitude to overcome
slope overload distortion.
5. Calculate the sampling frequency required for no slope overload distortion.
6. Compare the calculated and measured values of the sampling frequency.
