The light transmitted inside a fiber amount the total internal refelction, light travel not only along fibers central axis but also various angles to center line. ATTENUATION The power coming out of the fiber should be less than the power entering it called attenuation. If the fibre should be less than communication attenuation is decrease in the light power or intensity during light propagation along a fiber. Here the light loss caused by the violation of the total internal reflection concept due to improper fibre coupling called coupling loss. PROCEDURE 1.

Advanced fiber optic communication trainer link 2. 66nm fiber cable 3. AFO 4. CRO 5. Patch chords THEORY The analog signal can be send using one of several modulation techniques. The simplest form of optical fiber link is direct intensity modulation, where optical output from the source is modulated simply by varying the current around the bios point in proportion to the message signal level. Thus information signal is transmitted directly in the end of the base band. More efficient method is to translate the baseband signal into an electrical sub carrier prior to intensity modulation or phase modulation techniques. PROCEDURE 1.

MEASUREMENT OF VSWR OF UNKNOWN LOADS Ex.No.5 Date: AIM To determine the VSWR & impedance unknown load by measuring VSWR. APPARATUS REQUIRED Klystron power supply, Reflex klystron isolator, frequency meter, variable attenuator, slotted section, VSWR meter, detector mount & CRO FORMULAE USED VSWR ,S=E MAX /E MIN (i.e) V MAX /V MIN Reflection coefficient , ||= (S- 1)/(S+1) THEORY The electromagnetic field at any point of transmission line,may be considered as the sum of 2 travelling waves: the incident wave which propagates from the generator and the reflected wave which propagates towards the generator. The reflected wave is set up by the reflection of incident wave from a discontinuity on the line or from the load impedance. The magnitude and phase of the reflected wave depends upon amplitude of phase of the reflected impedance.The presence of two travelling waves gives rise to standing waves along the line.The maximum field strength is found when the two waves are inphase and the minimum where the two waves add in opposite phase.The distance between two successive minima(or maxima) is half the guide wavelength of the line.The ratio of electrical field strength of reflected and incident waves is called reflection coefficient.The voltage standing wave ratio between maximum and minimum field strength along the line. VSWR, S=E MAX /E MIN = (E I +E R ) / (E I -E R ) =E R /E I = (Z-Z O ) / (Z+Z O ) Z is the impedance at a point on the line. Z o is the characteristic impedance The equation above gives the following equation. ||= (S-1)/(S+1) OPTICAL AND MICROWAVE LAB MANUAL SRINIVASAN ENGINEERING COLLEGE, PERAMBALUR IV YEAR

It makes use of velocity modulation to a continuous electron beam into microwave power. Its oscillation frequency can be varied over wideband and it can be pulse and frequency modulated. Electrons emitted from the cathode are accelerated by and pass through a position resonator grids towards the reflector and negative terminal to the cathode are consequently and finally reflex the electrons which then turn back through the resonator grids. In case klystron starts to oscillate a bifixed exist and these electrons leave at a reduced velocity because of the different in velocity. PROCEDURE 1.

STUDY OF GUNN DIODE CHARACTERISTICS Ex.No.8 Date: AIM To study the following characteristics of Gunn diode. 1. V-I characteristics. 2. Output power & frequency as a function of voltage.
APPARATUS REQUIRED Gunn power supply, Gunn oscillator pin Modulator, Isolator, frequency meter, attenuator, slotted section with probe carriage, Detector mount & VSWR meter. THEORY The Gunn oscillator is based on negative differential conductivity effect in bulk. Semiconductor, which has two conduction, bands minima separated by an energy gap (greater agitational energies). A disturbance at the cathode gives rise to high field region, which travels towards the anode. When this high field domain reaches the anode, it disappears and another domain is formed at the cathode and starts moving towards anode and so on. The time required for domain to travels from cathode to anode (Transit time) gives oscillation frequency. In a Gunn oscillator, the Gunn diode is placed in a resonant cavity. In this case the oscillator frequency is determined by cavity dimension than by diode itself. Although Gunn oscillator can be amplitude modulated with the bias voltage, we have used separate pin modulator through pin diode for square wave modulation. A measure of the square wave modulation capability is the modulation depth (i.e.) the output ratio between ON and OFF state.
