PHASE SHIFT KEYING

Objectives:

To generate the waveforms of Phase shift keying.

Pre-Lab Work:
1. Basic theory of Phase shift keying.
2. Understanding Important Electrical Characteristics of AD633 IC.
3. Understanding the data sheets of components used in the experiment.
4. Computer simulations (Multisim / pSpice) are performed and the objectives are
obtained prior to the hardware experiment.
Equipment and Components:
1. ICs AD633
2.Resistors.
3. NI ELVIS III
4. CRO,Patch cords

Basic Theory:

The phase of carrier is shifted between two values is called Phase Shift Keying. The
amplitude of carrier remains constant. Phase Shift Keying is also called Phase Reversal
Keying. The performance of PSK is more than ASK. PSK is a non linear modulation.
PSK needs a complicated. Synchronous circuit at the receiver. The bandwidth of PSK is
2fm.

Precautions:
1.Connections should be made carefully.
2.The components (resistors, capacitors and ICs) must be identified properly before
giving the circuit connections.
3.The components must be properly doped into the bread board.
Procedure:
1. Apply the carrier signal of amplitude20v (p-p) with frequency of 5 KHz to the modulator
input and observe the signal on the channel of the CRO.
2. Apply the modulating signal of amplitude 10V (p-p) and frequency of 1 KHz.
3. Observe the output of PSK modulator on the channel 2 of the CRO.
4. Now connect the demodulator circuit and apply the PSK modulated output, then
observe the demodulated output.

Results:

Post-Lab Requirements
1.Check and Create the illustration for PSK Generation
2.Compare the results are obtained in hardware lab with that of computer simulations.
3.Submit your illustration to the lab instructor at next week's lab.

Viva Questions:
1. Drawback of DPSK compared to BPSK?
2. Write the advantage of BPSK over the BPSK?
3. What is the effect of carrier amplitude on the output?
4. What is the effect of modulating signal frequency on the output?
