Theory:
Designing a balanced modulator using a center-tapped transformer and a tank circuit is an analog approach that takes
advantage of symmetry for carrier suppression. This method can effectively generate Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier
(DSB-SC) signals.
A balanced modulator multiplies the input message signal and the carrier signal A center-tapped transformer ensures the
signals are applied with the proper phase relationships.
A tank circuit (LC circuit) helps select the desired sidebands and filter out the carrier. Carrier suppression occurs due to
phase cancellation facilitated by the balanced structure.
The center-tapped secondary winding connects to the diodes.
One diode conducts during one half-cycle of the carrier and the other two during the opposite half-cycle.

This mixes the carrier and message signals.
Tank Circuit:
Connected at the output of the diodes to filter out the carrier frequency and pass the sidebands.

3. Frequency Modulation and Demodulation
Theory:
The IC 8038 is a versatile function generator chip capable of generating various waveforms such as sine,
square, triangular, and sawtooth waves. While it's primarily used for generating waveforms, it can be utilized in
frequency modulation (FM) circuits with additional components.
The process, in which the frequency of the carrier is varied in accordance with the instantaneous amplitude of
the modulating signal, is called “Frequency Modulation”.
We can set up frequency modulation circuit using the IC 8038 with following steps:
1.IC 8038 Connections: We need to connect the various pins of the IC 8038 according to its datasheet. Key
connections include:
Power supply connections (VCC and -VEE), External capacitors and resistors -for setting frequency range and
stability.
Control voltage input (CV) for frequency modulation, Output pins for the generated waveform.
Control Voltage Input (CV): This is where you'll apply the signal that modulates the frequency. The frequency of
the output waveform will vary based on the voltage applied to this pin. You can use an external voltage source,
such as an oscillator or another function generator, to modulate the frequency.

Frequency response of Pre-emphasis Frequency response of Deemphasis
Theory
The pre-emphasis and de-emphasis help to improve the quality of any communication
especially audio signals on the transmitter and receiver sides. The presence of noise is also
an issue in FM and we know that noise usually has higher amplitude and higher
frequency. When the amplitude of a high-frequency noise is higher than the current
component in the modulation signal, it causes high-frequency interference. To deal with this
issue, most FM circuits use a technique called pre-emphasis during transmission and de-
emphasis during receiving. Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis circuits are commonly used in
FM transmitters and receivers to improve the output signal-to-noise ratio.
The pre-emphasis circuit is actually a high pass filter and de-emphasis circuit a low pass
filter.The amount of pre-emphasis and de-emphasis used is defined by the time constant of a
simple RC filter circuit. Simple pre-emphasis and de-emphasis circuits using op-amp are

Theory
The sampling theorem can be defined as the conversion of an analog signal into a discrete form by taking the
sampling frequency as twice the input analog signal frequency. Input signal frequency denoted by Fm and
sampling signal frequency denoted by Fs. If the sampling frequency (Fs) equals twice the input signal
frequency (Fm), then such a condition is called the Nyquist Criteria for sampling. When sampling frequency
equals twice the input signal frequency is known as “Nyquist rate”. If the sampling frequency (Fs) is less
than twice the input signal frequency, such criteria called an Aliasing effect.
In flat-top sampling or rectangular pulse sampling, the top of the samples remains constant and isequal to the
instantaneous value of the baseband signal x(t) at the start of sampling. During transmission, noise is
introduced at top of the transmission pulse which can be easily removed if the pulse is in the form of
flat top. Here, the top of the samples are flat i.e. they have constant amplitude. Hence, it is called as flat
top sampling or practical sampling. Flat top sampling makes use of sample and hold circuit.”

Thoery :
Pulse amplitude modulation is a technique in which the amplitude of each pulse is controlled by the
instantaneous amplitude of the modulation signal. It is a modulation system in 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.
This technique transmits the data by encoding in the amplitude of a series of signal pulses. In PAM,
the signal amplitudes can be changed based on the modulating signal. The pulse train works like a periodic
switching signal toward the modulator. Once it is switched ON, and then allows the samples of modulating
Page 14 of
Page 17 of 29
signals to supply toward the output. The pulse train’s periodic time is called the sampling period.
PAM is mostly applied in non-based modulating transmission of digital data and applications replaced by
pulse-code modulation and pulse-position modulation. Particularly all phone modems faster than 300 bit/s
use quadrature amplitude modulation.

3. Set the pulsed carrier amplitude to around 5V (p-p) and frequency, fc = 1 k-10 kHz.

Circuit Diagram
Theory
The IC 555 is an extremely useful and versatile device which can be applied for configuring many useful circuits. One very
useful feature of this IC is its ability to generate PWM pulses .
A modulation technique where the width of the pulses of the pulsed carrier wave is changed according to the modulating
signal is known as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). It is also known as Pulse duration modulation (PDM.
Operation:
The 555 timer in this configuration will operate in astable mode, continuously generating a square wave.
The frequency of the PWM signal is determined by the values of R1, R2&C.
The duty cycle (the proportion of the time the output is high versus the total period of the waveform) can be adjusted
by changing the resistance R2.
TON = 0.693 * (R1 + R2) * C TOFF = 0.693 * R2 x C Period T = TON + TOFF Frequency F = 1/T =
= 0.693 * (R1 +2*R2) * C 1.44 / ( (R1 + 2R2) * C) Hz
The following table shows few of the common values for R1, R2 and C and the corresponding frequency.
Page 16 of 25
Page 19 of 29
The effects of the square wave on pin 5:
Applying a sine wave to Pin 5 of a 555 timer in PWM mode modulates the duty cycle of the PWM output. The
modulation occurs because the control voltage input alters the internal threshold and trigger levels, changing the
timing intervals for charging and discharging the capacitor. This results in a dynamic PWM signal whose duty cycle
varies in accordance with the input sine wave.
The sine wave should not exceed the supply voltage of the 555 timer. Excessively high frequencies might not be
effectively processed by the internal circuitry.

Theory
Pulse position modulation is a modulation technique in which the position of pulse varies according to instantaneous value
of amplitude of sampled modulating signal. Displacement of pulse is directly proportional to amplitude value of
message signal.
With increase in amplitude of signal, the position of pulse shifts-keeping the width of pulses constant, only position
changes.
Operation:
The output of the PWM signal is connected to pin no 2 via differentiator network of R1, C1& diode(generating spikes-
that acts as trigger for IC 555)
The 2nd 555 timer will operate in monstable mode, continuously generating a square wave.
Hence, with the trailing edge of the PWM signal, the output of the monostable goes high.
This is why a pulse of PPM signal begins with the trailing edge of the PWM signal.
Page 18 of 25
Page 21 of 29
The output will remain high for a period of time determined by resistors R2 and C2, keeping the width
and amplitude of each pulse constant and thereby we will get a PPM signal of constant width at the
output.
