Theory: Amplitude Modulation is defined as a process in which the amplitude of the carrier

wave c (t) is varied linearly with the instantaneous amplitude of the message signal m(t). The

standard form of amplitude modulated (AM) wave is defined by

s(t)=A (1+ ma m(t))cos (2fct)

Under modulation:

In this case ma1.Here the amplitude of the baseband signal exceeds the maximum

carrier amplitude, i.e. |x(t)|max >A. Here the percentage modulation is greater than 100,the

baseband signal is preserved in the envelope. The message signal recovered from the envelope

will be distorted. This distortion is called envelope distortion.

Aim:

To study the process of frequency modulation and demodulation and to calculate the modulation

index

Apparatus:

1) Hi-Q test equipment Pvt. Ltd Frequency modulation and demodulation trainer kit

2) Oscilloscope 20MHz dual channel / DSO

3) Patch cords

Theory:

Frequency modulation (FM) is the encoding of information in a carrier wave by varying

the instantaneous frequency of the wave. (Compare with amplitude modulation, in which the

amplitude of the carrier wave varies, while the frequency remains constant).

In analog signal applications, the difference between the instantaneous and the base

frequency of the carrier is directly proportional to the instantaneous value of the input-signal

amplitude.

Frequency modulation is used in radio, telemetry, radar, seismic prospecting, and monitoring

newborns for seizures via EEG. FM is widely used for broadcasting music and speech, two-way

radio systems, magnetic tape-recording systems and some video-transmission systems. In radio

systems, frequency modulation with sufficient bandwidth provides an advantage in cancelling

naturally-occurring noise.

A sine wave which is the modulating signal is generated by using the IC 8038(U1).An 8 pin

IC LF356(U4) is used as an amplifier which amplifies the sine wave which is generated by using

IC 8038(U7) which is inbuilt.

In this circuit IC 8038(U7) is used to generated FM.The frequency of the waveform

generator is a direct function of the DC voltage at pin 8.By altering this voltage,FM is


7 | P a g e

performed.For small deviations the modulating signal will be applied directly at pin 8 and for

larger FM deviations,the modulation signal is applied between the positive supply voltage at pin

8.An IC 741(U6) is the unity gain amplifier which is used as a buffer.The FM output is taken at

pin 6 of U6.

In the demodulation section it comprises of PLL and AC amplifier.The output of modulator

is given as input to PLL.

The PLL output is obviously less and it is fed to the AC amplifier which comprises of single

operational amplifier and whose output is amplified.

PRE-EMPHASIS AND DE-EMPHASIS

Aim:

To find the frequency response characteristics of pre-emphasis and de-emphasis circuits

Equipments Required:

S.No. Component Range Quantity

1. Transistor AC128 1

2. Capacitor 0.01F,47F 2

3. Resistor 1k,10k,100k 4

5. RPS (0-30)V/2A 1

6. CRO 30MHz 1

7. Audio frequency oscillator 1

8. Breadboard &Connecting

wires 1

Theory:

In processing electronic audio signals, pre-emphasis refers to a system process designed

to increase (within a frequency band) the magnitude of some (usually higher) frequencies with

respect to the magnitude of other (usually lower) frequencies in order to improve the overall

signal-to-noise ratio by minimizing the adverse effects of such phenomena as attenuation

distortion or saturation of recording media in subsequent parts of the system. The mirror

operation is called de-emphasis, and the system as a whole is called emphasis.


13 | P a g e

Pre-emphasis is achieved with a pre-emphasis network which is essentially a calibrated filter.

The frequency response is decided by special time constants. The cutoff frequency can be

calculated from that value.

Pre-emphasis is commonly used in telecommunications, digital audio recording, record cutting,

in FM broadcasting transmissions, and in displaying the spectrograms of speech signals.

One example of this is the RIAA equalization curve on 33 rpm and 45 rpm vinyl records.

Another is the Dolby noise-reduction system as used with magnetic tape.

In high speed digital transmission, pre-emphasis is used to improve signal quality at the output of

a data transmission. In transmitting signals at high data rates, the transmission medium may

introduce distortions, so pre-emphasis is used to distort the transmitted signal to correct for this

distortion. When done properly this produces a received signal which more closely resembles the

original or desired signal, allowing the use of higher frequencies or producing fewer bit errors.

Pre-emphasis is employed in frequency modulation or phase modulation transmitters to equalize

the modulating signal drive power in terms of deviation ratio. The receiver demodulation process

includes a reciprocal network, called a de-emphasis network, to restore the original signal power

distribution.

In telecommunication, de-emphasis is the complement of pre-emphasis, in the antinoise system

called emphasis. Emphasis is a system process designed to decrease, (within a band of

frequencies), the magnitude of some (usually higher) frequencies with respect to the magnitude

of other (usually lower) frequencies in order to improve the overall signal-to-noise ratio by

minimizing the adverse effects of such phenomena as attenuation differences or saturation of

recording media in subsequent parts of the system.

Special time constants dictate the frequency response curve, from which one can calculate the

cutoff frequency.

Pre-emphasis is commonly used in audio digital recording, record cutting and FM radio

transmission.


14 | P a g e

In serial data transmission, de-emphasis has a different meaning, which is to reduce the level of

all bits except the first one after a transition. That causes the high frequency content due to the

transition to be emphasized compared to the low frequency content which is de-emphasized. This

is a form of transmitter equalization; it compensates for losses over the channel which are larger

at higher frequencies. Well known serial data standards such as PCI Express, SATA and SAS

require transmitted signals to use de-emphasis.

Circuit Diagram:

Fig: Pre-emphasis circuit

Procedure:

1. Connect the circuit as per circuit diagram as shown in Fig..


15 | P a g e

2. Apply the sinusoidal signal of amplitude 20mV as input signal to pre emphasis circuit.

3. Then by increasing the input signal frequency from 500Hz to 20KHz, observe the output

voltage (Vo) and calculate gain 20 log10 (Vo / Vi)

4. Plot the graph between gain Vs frequency.

5. Repeat above steps 2 to 4 for de-emphasis circuit (shown in Fig.2). by applying the sinusoidal

signal of 30mV as input signal

Observations:

Pre-emphasis:

S.No. Frequency (Hz) Vo Gain = V0/Vi Gain in dB = 20log10(V0/Vi)

De-emphasis:

S.No. Frequency (Hz) Vo Gain = Vo / Vi Gain in dB = 20log10 (Vo / Vi)


16 | P a g e

Waveforms:

Precautions:

1. Check the connections before giving the power supply

2. Observations should be done carefully

Result:

Thus the frequency response characteristics of pre-emphasis and de-emphasis circuits are

determined and are plotted on semi log graph.

SINGLE SIDEBAND MODULATION AND

DEMODULATION

Aim:

To study the process of single side band modulation and demodulation.

Apparatus:

1) Hi-Q test equipment Pvt .Ltd Single sideband modulator and demodulator

2) CRO / DSO

3) Patch cords

Theory:

In radio communications, single-sideband modulation (SSB) or single-sideband suppressed-

carrier (SSB-SC) is a refinement of amplitude modulation that more efficiently uses transmitter

power and bandwidth. Amplitude modulation produces an output signal that has twice the

bandwidth of the original baseband signal. Single-sideband modulation avoids this bandwidth

doubling, and the power wasted on a carrier, at the cost of increased device complexity and more

difficult tuning at the receiver.

SSB was also used over long distance telephone lines, as part of a technique known as

frequency-division multiplexing (FDM). FDM was pioneered by telephone companies in the

1930s. This enabled many voice channels to be sent down a single physical circuit, for example

in L-carrier. SSB allowed channels to be spaced (usually) just 4,000 Hz apart, while offering a

speech bandwidth of nominally 3003,400 Hz.

Amateur radio operators began serious experimentation with SSB after World War II. The

Strategic Air Command established SSB as the radio standard for its aircraft in 1957.It has

become a de facto standard for long-distance voice radio transmissions since then.


18 | P a g e

One method of producing an SSB signal is to remove one of the sidebands via filtering, leaving

only either the upper sideband (USB), the sideband with the higher frequency, or less commonly

the lower sideband (LSB), the sideband with the lower frequency. Most often, the carrier is

reduced or removed entirely (suppressed), being referred to in full as single sideband suppressed

carrier (SSBSC). Assuming both sidebands are symmetric, which is the case for a normal AM

signal, no information is lost in the process.

The front end of an SSB receiver is similar to that of an AM or FM receiver, consisting of a

super heterodyne RF front end that produces a frequency-shifted version of the radio frequency

(RF) signal within a standard intermediate frequency (IF) band.

To recover the original signal from the IF SSB signal, the single sideband must be frequency-

shifted down to its original range of baseband frequencies, by using a product detector which

mixes it with the output of a beat frequency oscillator (BFO). In other words, it is just another

stage of heterodyning (mixing down to base band).

8) Connect the outputs of DSB GEN1 &DSB GEN2 to input of adder circuit and observe

0.4V.

9) In this method of SSB GEN both the LSB signals get added as they are in phase and USB

get cancelled. As they are out of phase by 1800. This is the output of LSB SSB.

10) For obtaining USB as the SSB signal connect the circuit as shown in wiring diagrams 3.

11) Connect FM signal to FM signal to input of DSB GEN1 and Fc+900 to Fc input of DSB

GEN1.

13) Connect the outputs of DSB GEN1 to the inputs of adder circuit and observe the SSB

output.

14) In this method of SSB GEN the lower side band get added as they are in phase. This is

the output of USB SSB at SSB output.

Demodulation:

1) For demodulation connect SSB output to SSB demodulation input and also connect Fc

signal to Fc input of SSB demodulation and observe its output.

2) Connect SSB demodulation output to input of filter and observe filter output as smooth

modulating signal.

synchronizing pulses that may be required. At the receiving end, the original waveforms may be

reconstituted from the information regarding the samples, if these are taken frequently enough.

Despite the fact that information about the signal is not supplied continuously as in AM and FM,

the resulting receiver output can have negligible distortion.

6. Capacitor 0.01F 1

7. Regulated power supply (0-30)V/2A.

8. Function Generator 10MHz

9. Bread board.

10. Connecting Wires.

Theory:

Pulse Width Modulation is also known as Pulse Duration Modulation (PDM). Three

variations of the pulse width are possible. In one variation, the leading edge of the pulse is held

constant and change in pulse width with signal is measured with respect to leading edge. In

other variation, the tail edge is held constant and with respect to it, pulse width is measured. In

the third variation, centre of the pulse is held constant and pulse width changes on either side of

the centre of the pulse.

The Pulse Width Modulation is basically a monostable multivibrator with a modulating input

signal applied at the control voltage input. Internally, the control voltage is adjusted to the 2/3

Vcc. Externally applied modulating signal changes the control voltage, and hence the threshold


29 | P a g e

voltage level. As a result, the time period required to charge the capacitor up to threshold

voltage level changes, giving pulse modulated signal at the output.

Unlike Pulse Amplitude Modulation, noise is less since in PWM, amplitude is held constant.

Signal and noise separation is very easy in case of PWM. PWM communication does not require

synchronization between transmitter and receiver.

In PWM, pulses are varying in width and therefore their power contents are available. This

requires that the transmitter must be able to handle the power contents of the pulse having

maximum pulse width. Large bandwidth is required for the PWM communication as compared

to PAM. The pulse width is controlled by the input signal voltage, and we get the pulse width

modulated waveform at the output.

8. Breadboard

9. Connecting Wires

10. Function Generator 30 MHz

Theory:

In Pulse Position Modulation, the amplitude & width of the pulse are kept

constant, while the position of each pulse, with reference to the position of a reference pulse,

is changed according to the instantaneous sampled value of the modulating signal. Thus, the

transmitter has to send synchronizing pulses to keep the transmitter and receiver in

synchronism. As the amplitude and width of the pulses are constant, the transmitter handles

constant power output, a definite advantage over the PWM. But the disadvantage of the

PPM system is the need for transmitter-receiver synchronization. Pulse position modulation

is obtained from pulse width modulation. Each trailing edge of PWM pulse is a starting

point of the pulse in the PPM. Therefore, position of the pulse is 1:1 proportional to the

width of pulse in PWM and hence it is proportional to the instantaneous amplitude of the

sampled modulating signal.


33 | P a g e

The PPM generation consists of a differentiator and a monostable multivibrator. The input

of the differentiator is a PWM waveform. The differentiator generates positive and negative

spikes corresponding to leading and trailing edges of the PWM waveform. Diode D1 is used

to bypass the positive spikes. The negative spikes are used to the trigger monostable

multivibrator. The monostable multivibrator then generates the pulses of same width and

amplitude with reference to trigger to given pulse position modulated waveform. In case of

pulse-position modulation, it is customary to convert the received pulses that vary in

position to pulses that vary in length. Like PWM, in PPM amplitude is held constant thus

less noise interference. Like PPM, signal & noise separation is very easy. Because of

constant pulse widths and amplitudes, transmission of power of each pulse is same.
