Theory:
A bandpass filter using an operational amplifier (op-amp) typically consists of a combination of
high-pass and low-pass filter stages. High-pass Filter Stage: This stage allows high-frequency
signals to pass while attenuating low-frequency signals. Low-pass Filter Stage: This stage allows
low-frequency signals to pass while attenuating high-frequency signals.
The Q factor (quality factor) is a measure of the bandwidth of a resonant circuit or filter relative to
its center frequency. Q Factor Definition: The Q factor is defined as the ratio of the center
frequency (f0) of the filter to its bandwidth (BW) at the -3 dB points.
Q = f0 / BW
The Q factor determines the selectivity and bandwidth of the bandpass filter. Higher Q factors
result in narrower bandwidths and sharper frequency response curves, while lower Q factors result
in wider bandwidths and more gradual roll-offs. If Q<0.5 is called wideband filter and ifQ> 0.5
is called narrow and filter

Theory:
A Diode Ring Modulator, also known as a Lattice Modulator, is a type of balanced modulator
commonly used in electronic communications. Its primary function is to produce double- sideband
suppressed-carrier (DSBSC) signals, which involve suppressing the radio frequency carrier while
preserving the sum and difference frequencies at the output. This modulation technique allows for
efficient transmission of information while conserving power.
The Diode Ring Modulator typically consists of four diodes arranged in a ring configuration, hence
the name "ring modulator." These diodes are interconnected in such a way that they form aclosed
loop or ring structure. The input signals, usually the carrier signal and the modulating signal, are
applied to opposite pairs of diodes in the ring.
The output waveform of the Diode Ring Modulator lacks the carrier signal but contains all the
information present in a traditional amplitude modulated (AM) signal. This makes it an efficient
means of transmitting information, especially in applications where power saving is crucial.
Procedure
1. Connections are made as shown in figure
2. Apply modulating signal (Sine Wave Vm =2Vp) with frequency fm = 1K Hz, and carrier
signal (Square Wave Vmc = 3Vp) with frequency fc = 10KHz (fc = 10fm).
3. Observe the phase reversal of 180o at each Zero Crossing modulating signal in the output
DSBSC signal.

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.”

Theory :
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 ofthe
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 onthe
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 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.

Theory
Multiplexing is a technique is used to combine various signals into a single signal using a shared
medium. There are different types of multiplexing techniques like TDM, FDM, CDMA & WDM
which are utilized in data transmission systems.
Time-division multiplexing or TDM definition is; a multiplexing technique that is used totransmit
two or above streaming digital signals above a common channel. In this type of multiplexing
technique, incoming signals are separated into equivalent fixed-length time slots. Once
multiplexing is done, these signals are sent over a shared medium & after de-multiplexing, they
are reassembled into their original format. TDM is commonly used in telecommunications,
broadcasting, and computer networking to increase data transmission efficiency.
The CD4051 is an analog multiplexer/demultiplexer integrated circuit (IC) commonly used in
electronic circuits. It has eight channels, allowing it to selectively route one of eight analog signals
to a single output based on digital control inputs. It's often used in applications where multiple
analog signals need to be processed or switched, such as in audio systems, instrumentation, and
data acquisition systems. The CD4051 operates over a wide range of 5V - 15V voltages and is
relatively easy to use, making it a popular choice in various electronic projects.

5. Observe the reconstructed message waveforms m1(t) and m2(t) at pin numbers 13 and 14

Theory
In electronics, a mixer, or frequency mixer, is an electrical circuit that creates new frequencies
from two signals applied to it. In its most common application, two signals are applied to a mixer,
and it produces new signals at the sum and difference of the original frequencies. Active mixers
use an amplifying device (such as a transistor or vacuum tube) that may increase the strength of
the product signal. Active mixers improve isolation between the ports, but may have higher noise
and more power consumption. Mixers may also be classified by their topology:
An unbalanced mixer, in addition to producing a product signal, allows both input signals to pass
through and appear as components in the output.
A single balanced mixer is arranged with one of its inputs applied to a balanced (differential) circuit
so that either the local oscillator (LO) or signal input (RF) is suppressed at the output, but not both.
A double balanced mixer has both its inputs applied to differential circuits, so that neither of the
input signals and only the product signal appears at the output.[1] Double balanced mixers are
more complex and require higher drive levels than unbalanced and single balanced designs.
Procedure
1. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Apply the input signals as mentioned in the circuit diagram.
3. Observe the output waveforms in CRO
4. Measure the output frequency, it has to be equal to ∆ f =f 1−f 2
5. Repeat the steps 3 and 4 by decreasing frequency of V2 in the step of 1KHz.

Theory
Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a method of changing the duration of a pulse with respect to the
analog input. The duty cycle of a square wave is modulated to encode a specific analog signallevel.
The PWM signal is digital because at any given instant of time, the full DC supply is either ON or
OFF completely. one input of the comparator is fed by the input message or modulating signal and
the other input by a sawtooth signal which operates at carrier frequency. Considering both ±ve
sides, the maximum of the input signal should be less than that of sawtooth signal. The comparator
will compare the two signals together to generate the PWM signal at its output as shown in the
third waveform
The PWM pulses obtained at the comparator output are applied to a monostable multivibrator. The
monostable is negative edge triggered. Hence, corresponding to each trailing edge of PWM signal,
the monostable output goeshigh. It remains high for a fixed time decided by its own RC components.
Thus, as the trailing edges of the PWM signal keep shifting in proportion with the modulating signal
m(t), the PPM pulses also keep shifting, as shown in Waveform of PWM and PPM
Procedure
a. Make the connection as per Circuit diagram.
b. Set the M(t) = 2Vp and C(t) = 2Vp amplitudes using different signal generator.
c. Vary the frequency of M(t) =100 Hz and C(t) = 1KHz and adjust until we get proper output.
d. Observe the PWM output waveforms.
e. After getting PWM then the output of PWM is fed to triggering input of IC 555 timer to
result is PPM.
f. The output is taken at terminal 3 of timer 555 IC.
g. The wave is observed on CRO and Toff is noted during +Ve & -Ve peak of message signal
M(t).
