2) INTRODUCTION TO LAB: Communication has been one of the deepest needs of the
human race throughout recorded history. It is essential to forming social unions, to educating
the young, and to expressing a myriad of emotions and needs. Good communication is
central to a civilized society.
Digital communication systems, by definition, are communication systems that use such a
digital1 sequence as an interface between the source and the channel input (and similarly
between the channel output and final destination placing a binary interface between source
and channel. The source encoder converts the source output to a binary sequence and the
channel encoder (often called a modulator) processes the binary sequence for transmission
over the channel. The channel decoder (demodulator) recreates the incoming binary
sequence (hopefully reliably), and the source decoder recreates the source output.
In modulation, the message signal changes the amplitude, frequency, or phase of the carrier
signal.

2) CONNECTION WITH PREVIOUS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR: This lab is related
to Signal & System subject and Signal Processing Lab in which basics and different
modulation technique are studied and in next year it is related to wireless communication
subject as well as wireless communication Lab in which advancement digital
communication is learnt.

THEORY:-
Amplitude modulation (AM) is a technique used in electronic communication, most
commonly for transmitting information via a radio carrier wave. AM works by varying the
strength of the transmitted signal in relation to the information being sent.
For example, changes in signal strength may be used to specify the sounds to be
reproduced by a loudspeaker, or the light intensity of television pixels. Contrast this with

frequency modulation, in which the frequency is varied, and phase modulation, 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:
V(t) =A Cos(2πft+φ)
The demodulation circuit is used to recover the message signal from the incoming AM
wave at the receiver. An envelope detector is a simple and yet highly effective device that
is well suited for the demodulation of AM wave, for which the percentage modulation is
less then 100%. Ideally, an envelope detector produces an output signal that follows the
envelop of the input signal wave form exactly; hence, the name. Same version of this
circuit is used in almost all commercial AM radio receivers.

M= (Emax+ Emin)*100
(Emax -E min)

Where, Emax and E min are the maximum and minimum amplitudes of the modulated wave.

THEORY:-
Amplitude modulation is defined as the process in which the amplitude of the carrier wave
c(t) is varied about a mean value, linearly with the baseband signal. An AM wave may thus
be dscribed, in the most general form, as a function of time as follows.
S(t)=Ac{1+Kam(t)}cos(2πfct)
Where Ka- Amplitude sensitivity of the modulator
S(t) –Modulated signal
Ac- carrier signal
m(t) –modulating signal
The amplitude of Ka m(t) is always less than unity, that is K a m(t) <1 for all t. It ensure that
the function 1+Ka m(t) is always positive. When the amplitude sensitivity Ka of the
modulator is large enough to make Ka m(t)>1 for any carrier wave becomes over
modulated ,resulting in carrier phase reversal whenever the factor 1+K am(t) crosses zero.
The modulate wave then exhibits envelope distortion.
The absolute maximum value of Ka m(t) multiplied by 100 is referred to as the percentage
modulation.
Vmax-Vmin
Or percentage modulation = -------------- ×100
Vmax +Vmin
The carrier frequency fc is much greater than the highest frequency component ω of the
message signal m(t),that is fc >>W. Where W is the message bandwidth.
If the condition is not satisfied, and envelope cannot be visualized satisfactorily. The trainer
kit has a carrier generator, which can generate the carrier wave of 100 KHz when the trainer
is switched on. The circuit’s carrier generator, modulator and demodulator are provided with
the built in supplies, no supply connections are to be given externally.

AM Fundamentals

Combining (“mixing”) the intelligence and carrier signals can be done:

1. Using linear device (e.g. resistor) –simple addition, but not suitable for
transmission (receiver cannot detect intelligence)
2. Non-linear device (e.g., BJT or OpAmp) –method used in practice
•Non-linear mixing results on:
–DC Component
–Components at original frequencies (intelligence & carrier)
–Components at sum & difference of original frequencies
–Harmonics of original frequencies

Only the following components resulting from non-linear mixing are used on an AM
waveform:
–Carrier frequency (fc)
–Lower-side frequency (fc-fi)
–Upper-side frequency (fc+ fi)

Fig. 2.1 Linear addition of two sine waves

Expected AM Waveforms

An AM modulated signal can be expressed as:


e(t) = (Ec+ Eisin wit) sin wct
where:
Ec= peak value of carrier signal
Ei=peak value of intelligence signal
wc= angular frequency of carrier signal
wi= angular frequency of intelligence signal

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 21


It can be demonstrated that:

e(t)= Ec sinwct+ (Ei/2)cos (wc-wi)t -(Ei/2)cos (wc+wi)t

THEORY:-
In communication systems information is transmitted from one place to another using
electrical signals (telephone, TV and radio broadcast etc.). Usually the information bearing
signals (message signals) are not suitable for transmission due to its propagation qualities (a
large wavelength). Also, since these signals generally exist in the same frequency range it is
necessary to transmit them using different frequency allocations to avoid interference. One
of the methods used to solve these problems is linear modulation, which is merely the
frequency translation of the spectrum of the information (or message) signal to a usually
much higher frequency. The translated spectrum can be modified before transmission in
different forms resulting in different linear modulation schemes. Specifically, there are four
linear modulation methods: double-sideband (DSB) (also known as double-sideband with
suppressed carrier DSB-SC), amplitude modulation (AM) or DSB-LC (large carrier), single-
sideband (SSB) and vestigial-sideband (VSB). This experiment examines the characteristics
of the DSB modulation.
DSB-SC GENERATION:

Fig. 3.1: Block Diagram of DSB-SC generation

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 23


A DSB-SC signal can be obtained by simply multiplying modulating signal x(t) with carrier
signal cosωct . So we need to use a device called product modulator for the generation of
DSB-SC waves .
Consider two sinusoids, or cosinusoids, cosμt and cosωt. A double sideband suppressed
carrier signal, or DSBSC, is defined as their product, namely:

DSBSC = E.cosμt . cosωt (1)


Generally, and in the context of this experiment, it is understood that::

ω >> μ (2)

Equation (1) can be expanded to give:

cosμt . cosωt = (E/2) cos(ω - μ)t + (E/2) cos(ω + μ)t


(3)

Equation 3 shows that the product is represented by two new signals, one on the sum

frequency (ω + μ), and one on the difference frequency (ω - μ).


These two components were derived from a ‘carrier’ term on ω rad/s, and a message on μ
rad/s. Because there is no term at carrier frequency in the product signal it is described as a
double sideband suppressed carrier (DSBSC) signal.
The term ‘carrier’ comes from the context of ‘double sideband amplitude modulation'
(commonly abbreviated to just AM). AM is introduced in a later experiment (although,
historically, AM preceded DSBSC).

THEORY:-
Frequency modulation (FM) conveysinformationover a carrier wave by varying it
sinstantaneous frequency. This contrasts with amplitude modulation, in which the
amplitude of the carrier is varied while its frequency remains constant. In analog
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.
If we make the frequency of our carrier wave a function of time, we can get a generalized
function that looks like this:

SFM= ACos(2π[fc+ks(t)]+φ)

We still have a carrier wave, but now we have the value ks(t) that we add to that carrier
wave, to send our data.
Modulation:

FM signals can be generated using either direct or indirect frequency modulation:

 Direct FM modulation can be achieved by directly feeding the message into the input
of a VCO. For indirect FM modulation, the message signal is integrated to
generate a phase modulated signal. This is used to modulate a crystal-controlled
oscillator, and the result is passed through a frequency multiplier to give an FM signal.

Block Diagram of FM Transmitter:

Fig.4.1 FM TRANSMITTER

Demodulation:

Many FM detector circuits exist. A common method for recovering the information signal
is through a Foster-Seeley discriminator. A phase-locked loop can be used as an FM
demodulator. Slope detection demodulates an FM signal by using a tuned circuit which has
its resonantfrequency slightly offset from the carrier. As the frequency rises and falls the
tuned circuit provides a changing amplitude of response, converting FM to AM. AM
receivers may detect some FM transmissions by this means, although it does not provide
an efficient means of detection for FM broadcasts.

EXPERIMENT NO:-5

AIM:- Verification of Sampling Theorem.

APPARATUS USED:-
1. Sampling and Reconstruction Trainer kit, ST-2151 ( Scientech Technologies)
2. A 20 MHz, dual channel Oscilloscope.

THEORY:-
NYQUIST CRITERION (Sampling Theorem):-
The Nyquist criterion states that a continuous signal band limited to f m hz, can be completely
represented by and reconstructed from, the samples taken at a rate greater than or equal to 2 f m
samples per second. This minimum frequency is called as "Nyquist Rate". Thus, for the faithful
reconstruction of the information signal from its samples, it is necessary that the sampling rate, f s
must be greater than 2fm.

Aliasing;-
If the information signal is sampled at a rate lower than that stated by Nyquist criterion, than there
is an overlap between the information signal and the side bands of the harmonics. Thus the lower
and the higher frequency components get mixed and cause unwanted signals to appear at the
demodulator output. This phenomenon is termed as Aliasingor Fold-over Distortion. The various
reasons for aliasing and the ways for its prevention may be summarized as under:-
A) Aliasing due to under-Sampling:-
If the signal is sampled at a rate lower than 2 f m, then it causes aliasing, as illustrated in the

following figure, where a sinusoidal signal of frequency fm is being sampled at a rate fs< 2fm, and
the dots represent the sample points

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 31


ANALOG AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LAB MANUAL
PCE/ECE/IV SEM/ 4EC4-21

The LPF at demodulator effectively joins the sample causing an unwanted frequency component to
appear at the output. This unwanted component has a frequency = (fs – fm)

B) Aliasing due to wide band signal:-


The system is designed to take samples at a frequency slightly greater than that stated Nyquist rate.
If higher frequencies are ever present in the information signal, or it is affected by H. F. noise, then
the aliasing will occur. To prevent the aliasing, Anti-aliasing filters are usually installed prior to
sampling. In telephone networks, the speech signals are band-limited by filters before sampling to
avoid the effect of aliasing.
C) Aliasing due to noise:-
If very small duty cycle is used in sample-and-hold circuit, aliasing may occur if the signal has been
affected by the noise. High frequency noise generally mixes with the High frequency component of
the signal and hence causes undesirable frequency components to appear at the output. This type of
aliasing may, therefore, be prevented by slightly increasing the duty cycle of the sampling pulses.
D) Aliasing due to Filter Roll-off:-
Aliasing may also occur, if appropriate filter response is not chosen and the frequencies above the
nominal cut-off frequency of the filter have significant amplitudes at the filter's output. This is
called Aliasing due to Filter Roll-off

THEORY:-
The super heterodyne circuit is used in almost all the transistor radios (excepting a few used
for receiving local stations). In this system the frequency of incoming signals are changed to
a fixed frequency known as intermediate frequency IF. The main work of amplifying the
signal and of selecting the desired station, is done in IF section. This permits higher

amplification per stage and better selectivity. The block diagram of Radio receiver is shown

1. frequency converter (Mixer and Oscillator)


2. I.F. amplifier
3. Detector
4. Audio Preamplifier
5. Driver
6. Output
7. Power supply

FREQUENCY CONVERTER
It has two sections Mixer and Oscillator. Usually only one transistor is used for both
Sections. The oscillator produces oscillations at a frequency which is higher than the
frequency of the station being received. The difference equals the intermediate frequency
(I.F). Out of the signals interrupted by the aerial, the signals from the desired stations are
selected by a tuned circuit at the input of the mixer stage. These signals and the oscillations
from the oscillator are mixed by the mixer. The mixing of these signals results in the
production of their sum (f1+f2) and the difference (f1-f2) frequencies. The difference is IF
signal. It contains the same modulation as contained by the received signals. The IF signals
are given to the IF amplifier.

IF AMPLIFIER
It amplifies the IF signals. It provides a large part of the gain and selectivity. Two stages are
used in this section to obtain the required amplification. Tuned transformers known as IFT
are used as a collector load and for interstate coupling in the IF amplifier. The amplified IF
signals are given to detector.

DETECTOR
The detector separates the audio signal from the modulated carrier. A diode is generally used

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 38


for detection.
AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER
The audio signals received from the detector are given to the audio preamplifier stage. This
stage amplifies these signals and gives them to the driver stage.
DRIVER
The signals obtained from the preamplifier are not strong enough to drive the output stage.
The driver stage further amplifies these signals and gives them to the output stage.
OUTPUT STAGE
The output stage amplifies the audio signals obtained from the driver and develops sufficient
power to drive the loud speaker. To obtain maximum economy in battery consumption, push
pull output stages using two transistors in class B circuit is normally used
POWER SUPPLY
Most of the transistor radios operate on a few cells/battery. The supply voltages from3 to 9V
are common. Some transistor radios can be operated from batteries as well as mains. In these
transistor the mains voltage is converted into D.C. by diode rectifier.

THEORY:-
Pulse-amplitude modulation, acronym PAM, is a form of signal modulation where the
message information is encoded in the amplitude of a series of signal pulses. It is an analog
pulse modulation scheme in which the amplitude of train of carrier pulse are varied
according to the sample value of the message signal.

In pulse Amplitude Modulation the amplitude of the carrier pulses varies in


accordance with the instantaneous values of message signal and the pulse width is fixed, in
practice this is realized by a simple mechanical commentator or by electronic circuit.
Natural PAM signal sampling occurs when finite width is used in the modulators and tops of
the pulses are forced to follow the magnitude of modulating waveform. Flat tapped PAM
system is quite often used because of the generating the modulating waveform and

width pulses are used but they are flat topped after modulation. Reconstruction of original
signal is possible by passing the modulated signal through a low pass filter.

THEORY:-
(Pulse Width Modulation):-
A modulation technique that generates variable-width pulses to represent the amplitude of
an analog input signal. Like its fixed-width pulse density modulation (PDM) cousin, the
output switching transistor is on more of the time for a high-amplitude signal and off more
of the time for a low-amplitude signal. The digital nature (fully on or off) of the PWM
circuit is less costly to fabricate than an analog circuit that does not drift over time. See
PDM.
If the widths of the pulses are varying in accordance with the modulating signal it is called
pulse width modulation. In Pulse width modulation, the amplitude of the pulses is constant.
Generation of PWM the input modulating signal is given to non - inverting terminal of op-
amp .the op-amp now compares with both the input signals. The output of the comparator is
high only when instantaneous value of input modulating signal is grater then that of saw
tooth waveform. When saw tooth waveform voltage is grater then input modulating signal at

that instant the output of the comparator remains zero i.e. in negative saturation. Thus output
of comparator is PWM signal.

THEORY:-
PPM can be considered version of PDM in PDM, long pulses expend considerable
power during the pulse while bearing no additional information. If an arrangement is made
so that the unused power could be subtracted from the PDM, we get a more efficient pulse
modulation. In PPM the position of a pulse relative to its un-modulated time of occurrence
is varied in accordance with the message signal PPM may be obtained from PWM, in which
the position of PWM pulses are position modulated.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 47

Thus these pulses will have time displacement proportional to the instantaneous
value of the signal voltage. The simplest method of generation of PPM from PWM is to use
a mono-stable multi-vibrator. It is to be designed in such away that it triggers the trailing
edges of a PWM signal. If a PWM signal is applied at the inputs, the output will be
obviously a pulse position modulated signal whose duration will be determined by the
timing circuit of multi-vibrator. For demodulation of PPM, first it converted into PWM with
help of flip-flop, and then it is demodulated.

AIM:- To observe the transmission of four signals over a single channel using
TDM-PAM method.

APPARATUS USED:
TDM Trainer kit, CRO

THEORY:-

Time Division Multiplexing – TDM


Several messages are sampled and their samples are interlaced to form a composite, or Time
Division Multiplexed-TDM signal.
By using quite short carrier pulses (small width), other sampled pulses can be placed in the
gaps between the pulses of PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation). This process is called as
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM). Therefore, more than one message signal can be
carried via a single communication channel. The operational fundamentals of TDM will be
examined by using the PAM; however TDM can be applied to other type of pulse
modulations as well.

If two messages are sampled at the same rate but at slightly different times, then two of
trains of samples can be added without mutual interaction. In Figure-1.a the signal x (t) and
the corresponding PAM signal are depicted.

(A): TDM of two signals

If the band-widths of both signals (x1(t) and x2(t)) is 3 kHz, according to the sampling
theorem each signal should be sampled with the frequency of 6 kHz. But in this case the
clock frequency should be 12 kHz. The distance between the pulses is Tn=Ts/n. Here, n
indicates the number of the input signals, Ts denotes the sampling period required for one
signal. The obtained TDM wave is shown below:

(B) :PAM (TDM) Wave
As considered before, if two different signals have the frequency of 3 kHz, the sampling
period of each signal will be Ts=1/6000 = 166.7 µsec. Since number of input signals n=2,
from Tn=Ts/n; the distance between samples becomes Tn=Ts/2 = 83.3 µsec. Therefore the
Minimum bandwidth to transmit these samples by TDM should be; B≥166.7.10−6 =6 kHz. A
TDM receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 4 below. The most significant issue in
recovery of input signals from TDM signals is the requirement for the proper
synchronization between TDM transmitter and receiver. Therefore, the clock signal in the
transmitter should be passed to the receiver correctly.

EXPERIMENT-9

AIM:- To study the PCM modulation & demodulation and study the effect of
channel like attenuation, noise in between modulator & demodulator through
the experimental setup.

APPARATUS USED:-
PCM Trainer kit, Power chords, 20 MHz Dual trace CRO,Power supply.

THEORY:-
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is different from Amplitude Modulation (AM) and
Frequency Modulation (FM) because those two are continuous forms of modulation. PCM
is used to convert analog signals into binary form. In the absence of noise and distortion it is
possible to completely recover a continuous analog modulated signal. But in real time they
suffer from transmission distortion and noise to an appreciable extent. In the PCM system,
groups of pulses or codes are transmitted which represent binary numbers corresponding to

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 56


ANALOG AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LAB MANUAL
PCE/ECE/IVSEM/ 4EC4-21
modulating signal voltage levels. Recovery of the transmitter information does not depend
on the height, width, or energy content of the individual pulses, but only on their presence
or absence. Since it is relatively easy to recover pulses under these conditions, even in the
presence of large amounts of noise and distortion, PCM systems tend to be very immune to
interference and noise. Regeneration of the pulse reroute is also relatively easy, resulting in
system that produces excellent result for long distance communication.

PCM ENCODING:

The encoding process generates a binary code number corresponding to modulating signal
voltage level to be transmitted for each sampling interval. Any one of the codes like binary,
ASCII etc., may be used as it provides a sufficient number of different symbols to represent
all of the levels to be transmitted. Ordinary binary number will contain a train of’1’ and ‘0’
pulses with a total of log2N pulses in each number. (N is no of levels in the full range). This
system is very economical to realize because it corresponds exactly to the process of analog
– to – digital (A/D) conversion.

QUANTIZATION:

The 1st step in the PCM system is to quantize the modulating signal. The modulating signal
can assume an infinite no. of different level between the two limit values, which define the
range of the signal. In PCM a coded no is transmitted for each level sampled in the
modulating signal. If the exact no corresponding to the exact voltage were to be transmitted
for every sample, an infinitely large no of different code symbols would be needed.
Quantization has the effect of reducing this infinite no of levels to a relatively small
number, which can be coded without difficulty.

In the quantization process, the total range of the modulating signal is divided into a no of
small sub ranges. The number will depend on the nature of the modulating signal and will
form as few as 8 to as many as 128 levels. A number that is an integer power of two is
usually chosen because of the ease of generating binary codes. The result is stepped
waveform, which follows the counter of the original modulating signal with each step
synchronized to the sampling period.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 57


ANALOG AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LAB MANUAL
PCE/ECE/IVSEM/ 4EC4-21

The quantized staircase waveform is an approximation to the original waveform. The


difference between the two-wave form amounts to “noise” added to the signal by the
quantizing circuit. The mean square quantization noise voltage has a value of
E2np = S2/12 Where S is the voltage of each step. As a result the number of quantization
levels must be kept high in order to keep the quantization noise below some acceptable limit
given by the power signal-to-noise ratio, which is the ratio of average noise power.

DECODING:
The decoding process reshapes the incoming pulses and eliminates most of the transmission
noise. A serial to parallel circuit passes the bits in parallel groups to a digital to analog
converter (D/A) for decoding. Thus decoded signal passes through a sample and hold
amplifier, which maintains the pulse level for the duration of the sampling period,
recreating the staircase waveform approximation of the modulation signal. A low-pass filter
may be used to reduce the quantization noise.

THEORY:-
Pulse Code Modulation technique involves following steps:

(a) Sampling:
The analog signal is sampled according to the nyquist criteria. Then nyquist criteria states
that for faithful reproduction of a band limited signal, the sampling rate must be at least
twice the highest frequency component present in the signal.So sampling frequency ≥ 2fm,
where fm is maximum frequency component present in the signal.
Practically the sampling frequency is kept slightly more than the required rate.

AIM:- To study the Delta & Adaptive delta modulation & demodulation and
also study the effect Of channel like attenuation, noise in between modulator &
demodulator through the experimental setup.

APPRATUS USED:-
Delta Modulator Trainer Kit, Digital Storage Oscilloscope, Connecting Probes.

THEORY:-
Delta modulation is a system of digital modulation developed after pulse code modulation.
In this system, at each sampling time, say the Kth sampling time, the difference between the
sample value at sampling time K and the sample value at the previous sampling time (K-1)
is encoded into just a single bit. I.e. at each sampling X time we ask simple question. Has
the signal amplitude increased or decreased since the last sample was taken? If signal
amplitude has increased, then modulator's output is at logic level 1.If the signal amplitude
has decreased, the modulator output is at logic level 0.Thus, the output from the modulator
is a series of zeros and ones to indicate rise and fall of the waveform since the previous
value. One way in which delta modulator and demodulator is assembled is as shown:

Delta Modulation

Delta Demodulation

The Delta Modulator works as follows: The analog signal which is to be encoded into
digital data is applied to the +veinputof the voltage comparator which compares it with the
signal applied to its –veinputfrom the integrator output (more about this signal in forth
coming paragraph).The comparator's output is logic '0' or '1' depending on whether the input
signal at +veterminal is lower or greater than the -ve terminals input signal.The
comparator's output is then latched into a D-flip-flop which is clocked by the transmitter
clock. Thus, the output of D-flip-Flop is a latched 'l' or '0'synchronouswith the transmitter
clock edge.This binary data stream is transmitted to receiver and is also fed to the unipolar
to bipolar converter. This block converts logic '0' to voltage level of + 4V and logic 'l' to
voltage level - 4V.The bipolar output is applied to the integrator whose output is as follows:
a. Rising linear ramp signal when - 4V is applied to it, (corresponding to binary 1)
b. Falling linear ramp signal when + 4V is applied to it (corresponding to binary 0).
The integrator output is then connected to the -ve terminal of voltage comparator, thus
completing the modulator circuit.
Let us understand the working of modulator circuit with the analog input waveform
applied as below:

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 66


ANALOG AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LAB MANUAL
PCE/ECE/IVSEM/ 4EC4-21

Technique of Delta Modulation


Suppose at some time-instance t = 0, the integrator output voltage is lower than the analog
input. This causes the voltage comparator voltage to go high i.e. logic '1'. Thisdata is latched
in the D- Flip- Flop at the rising edge of transmitter clock., The latched'1' output of D- flip
is translated to - 4V by the unipolar to bipolar converter block.The integrator then ramps up
to catch analog signal.
At the next clock cycle t = 1, the integrator output becomes more than the analoginput, so a
'0' is latched into D-Flip-Flop. The integrator now ramps downward as +4V voltage signal
from unipolar to bipolar converter appears at its input. Thus, theramp signal again tries to
catch the fallen analog signal.
As we can observe, after several clock cycles the integrator output is approximation ofthe
analog input which tries to catch up the analog input at each sample time. The datastream
from D-flip-flop is the delta modulators output.
The delta demodulator consists of a D-Flip-Flop a unipolar to bipolarconverter followed by
an integrator and a low pass filter. The delta demodulator receives thedata from D-Flip-Flop
of delta modulator. It latches this data at every rising edge ofreceiverclock, which is delayed
by half clock period with respect to transmitter clock.This has been done so that the data
from transmitter may settle down before beinglatched into the receiver Flip-Flop.The
unipolar to bipolar converter changes the output from D-Flip-Flop to either - 4Vor + 4V for
logic '1' and '0' respectively. As it has been seen in case of modulator when the output from
unipolar to bipolarconverter is applied to integrator, its output tries to follow the analog
signal in rampfashion and hence is a good approximation of the signal itself. The
integrator's output contains sharp edges, which are 'smoothened out' by the low - pass filter,
whose cut-offfrequency is just above the audio band.
Delta modulation offers many advantages as listed below:

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 67


ANALOG AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LAB MANUAL
PCE/ECE/IVSEM/ 4EC4-21
1. Simple system / circuitry
2. Cheap
3. Single bit encoding allows us to increase the sampling rate or to transmit more
information at some sampling rate for given system bandwidth.
Unfortunately, the practical use of delta modulation is limited due to the following several
drawbacks:
a. Noise
Noise is defined as any unwanted unpredictable random waveform accompanying the
information signal. Whenever the signal is received at thereceived by any communication
medium, it is always accompanied by noise.
b. Distortion
Distortion means that the receiver's output is not the true copy of the analoginput signal at
the transmitter.Distortion in delta modulation occurs due to following causes:
As it has been seen, when the analog signal is greater than the integrator output,
theintegratorramps up to meet the analog signal. The ramping rate of integrator isconstant.
Therefore, if the rate of change of analog input is faster than the rampingrate, the modulator
is unable to catch up with the information signal. This causes a large disparity between the
information signal and its quantized approximation. This error / phenomenon are known as
slope - overloading and causes the loss of rapidlychanging the information.

Information Loss due to Rapid input Changes


At first it may look as though the problem of slope overloading can be solvedincreasing the
ramping rate of the integrator. But as it can be seen from the figure theeffect of the large
step-size is to add large sharp edges at the integrator output andhence it adds to noise
problem faced at receiver. This effect itself leads to distortedreceiver outputIncreasing

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 68


ANALOG AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LAB MANUAL
PCE/ECE/IVSEM/ 4EC4-21
sampling rate cannot be the solution to the slope - overloading problem as it determines
how fast the samples are taken and not the ramping rate of theintegrator.

Effect of Sampling Rate on Quantization Noise & Step-Size


Another problem with delta modulation is that it unable to pass DC information. This is not
a serious limitation of speech communication but for the systems like video (picture)
transmission DC level does not provide information about brightness level of the picture for
more details see page no. 40.The above stated limitations of the delta modulation may
Be traded for acceptable price in speech application but is totally unsatisfactory for music or
video signals. Testing instruments needed for experimentation in this workbook

Various formats of line coding

Non - Return to Zero (Level) NRZ (L): It is the simplest form of data representation. The
NRZ (L) waveform simply goeslow for one bit time to represent a data '0' & high for one bit
time to represent a data'1'. Thus the signal alternates only when there is a data change. See
figure 2

NRZ (L) Encoding

Clock Regeneration:
Since the level transition takes place at a predetermined moment (e.g. at rising/falling edge
of the data clock), it is possible to extract clock information at the receiver. However the
synchronization & clock information is sparse & sometimes even lost when a long stream of
zero or ones are encountered. The clock regeneration is very difficult in such cases. This
makes the clock regeneration design more complex.

Bandwidth:
The maximum rate at which NRZ (L) waveform can change is half the data clock.This
happens when the data stream consists of an alternate 0's and 1's. As it is known,it is the
maximum signal frequency which determines the bandwidth occupied by theNRZ (L) code.
As you will study other data formats you will appreciate that the NRZ
(L) Waveform requires comparatively narrow bandwidth.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 73


ANALOG AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LAB MANUAL
PCE/ECE/IVSEM/ 4EC4-21
DC Levels: Another problem with NRZ (L) code is that it contains DC Level hence cannot
be used for communication systems which cannot pass DC. E.g. transmission paths
involving transformers AC coupled amplifiers or series capacitors filters etc. This happens
particularly in telephone systems. Let us see now an NRZ (L) code is rendered useless in
such systems. Assume a sequence of repetitive data sent is 0110001 with data 1 level at +
5V & data '0' at 0V.
If the DC Level is lost, the waveform balances at the mean level Mean level = total value of
samples ÷ no of samples.= (0+5+5+0+0+0+5) ÷ 7 = 15 ÷ 7 = 2.14VThus if the DC Level
information is lost, the whole signal balances about 2.14V.Thus the peak value of + 5V will
shift to 5 - 2.14 = 2.86VIt may slip down to a level where the receiver cannot recognize as
level '1' & thus the data could be misread. In extreme case where the input is constant series
of logic 0'sthen the NRZ (L) output would be a constant level. Now if the input changed to a
stream of logic 0's, the output would still be a constant level. The only difference is the DC
Level. Therefore if the DC Level information is lost, we have no way of knowing whether
the original input will have all 0's or all 1's.Recommended testing instruments needed for
experiments in this work book

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 74


ANALOG AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LAB MANUAL
PCE/ECE/IVSEM/ 4EC4-21

Clock Recovery:
The receiver can extract the timing information from the NRZ (M) waveform unless there
are long periods of no level changes corresponding to long streams of ‘0's. Here long stream
of 1's are not a problem as in NRZ (L) because now it causes a level change continuously &
the receiver can easily extract the clock information. This is a slight improvement over NRZ
(L) waveform.
Bandwidth A DC Level: The NRZ (M) is similar to NRZ (L) waveform in respect of the
bandwidth utilized &the passing of DC Levels. A considerable advantage of NRZ (M) is
that it is independent of the absolute level of the incoming data. The receiver simply has to
know the level changes. This is an advantage in phase shift keying as will be discusses later
on, where the receiver looks for a change in phase of the incoming signal.
Decoding: The NRZ (M) can be converted to NRZ (L) code by a bit decoder. The bit
decode r samples the incoming data bit, holds it for a moment takes a new sample
&compare the two, to see whether the changes has occurred. If it has occurred it gives
output logic '1' & if not it gives outputs logic '0'. This is the required NRZ (L).

Return to Zero (RZ) Format:


The RZ code provides a partial solution to overcome the receiver clock regeneration
problem with NRZ (L) code. It is similar to NRZ (L) code, except that the information is
contained in the first half of the bit, interval, while the level during the second half of each
period is always 0 volts. The comparison of the two waveforms for a given data is shown in
figure 7. The change may not see much, but it has two main effects as will be discussed in
following paragraphs.
RZ Format

RZ Format

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 75


ANALOG AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LAB MANUAL
PCE/ECE/IVSEM/ 4EC4-21
Introduction to Bi phase Codes
The main disadvantage with all the previous formats is their inability to provider eliable
clock synchronized information to the receiver clock. Bi-phase code sover come this
problem by providing the transition in both 0's and ‘1’s.The two most common bi-phase
codes in practice are bi phase (Manchester) &bi-phase (Mark) codes. Also these codes are
independent of the DC Levels i.e. they have zero DC component.

Biphase (Manchester) Coding: The encoding rules for bi-phase (Manchester) code are as
follows. A data '0' is encoded as a low level during first half of the bit time and a high level
during the second half. A data'1' is encoded as a high level during first half of the bit time
and a low level during the second half. Thus string of l's or 0's as well as any mixture of
them will not pass any synchronization problem in receiver.

Biphase (Manchester) Format Bandwidth:


The Biphase (Manchester) code always contains at least one transition per bit time,
irrespective of the data being transmitted. Hence the maximum frequency of the Biphase
(Manchester) code is equal to the data clock rate when a stream of consecutive data '1' & '0'
is transmitted. Therefore the required bandwidth is same asthat of the RZ code & double as
that of the NRZ (L) code.

DC Level: Since the biphase (Manchester) code has a high level for half of each data bit
time &low level for second half irrespective of the data. The effective DC level of the
biphase coded waveform is zero. This allows it to be used in AC coupled communication
systems.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 76


ANALOG AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LAB MANUAL
PCE/ECE/IVSEM/ 4EC4-21

Problem in Decoding:
This form of coding certainly provides plenty of rising edges for clock synchronization but
they do not all occur at same time e.g. we have a rising transitionat the start of code for data
'I' where as for data '0' we have it at the midway of thedata bit time. This causes confusion
in the clock regeneration circuit.To overcome this, we employ a special biphase clock
recovery circuit which can besynchronized by the rising edge occurring at either time.Rest
of the decoding is same as for the RZ code. Since the valid data iscarried for infirst half of
each clock period, we ensure that the regenerated receiver clock's rising edge occurs at this
time.

Biphase (Mark) Format

Bandwidth:
The biphase (Mark) code being very similar to the biphase (Manchester) codingrequires
same amount of bandwidth i.e. double as that of the NRZ (L) code. This isthe required
bandwidth in worst case when a series of consecutive 'l's occur.

DC Level:

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Page | 77


ANALOG AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION LAB MANUAL
PCE/ECE/IVSEM/ 4EC4-21
Similar, to the biphase (Manchester) code, this code too is independent of the DCLevel.
This is so because for every bit time the level is high for a half period &lowfor other half.
This feature makes it useful in applications & systems supporting onlythe AC coupling.

Receiver Clock Regeneration:


This coding provides plenty of rising edges for clock synchronization. But as with biphase
(Manchester) these do not all occur at the same time e.g. in one of the rising edge may occur
at the start of the bit interval where as in other bit it may occur midway between the bit
interval. Again to overcome this problem biphase clock recovery circuit is used which can
be synchronized by rising edge occurring at either time, as we have studied earlier. Rest of
decoding is same as that for biphase (Manchester). But since the output gives the
information other than the actual levels, it needs to be further processed in bit decoder as
has been studied in NRZ (M) decoding. In this circuit each sample is compared with the
previous one. If they are same, logic '0' is produced if different, alogic '1'.The advantage of
this system over biphase (Manchester) is that it is suitable for the systems where it is easier
to spot the changes in sequence.
Decoding: A simple comparator decodes the RB signal into RZ waveform. The comparator
output is logic 1(+5V), if the signal is greater than the bias voltage (threshold Voltage)
applied to the other input and logic 0 (0V) output .

Signal Decoding

The clock can be simply extracted by a circuit that gives a positive output when RBsignal is
not at 0volts (polarity doesn't matter) & provides a zero voltage whenever theRB waveform
is at bias level.

EXPERIMENT NO:-13(A)

AIM:- To perform the experiment of generation and detection of


ASK signal with variable length data pattern.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:-
ASK Trainer kit, Dual Trace oscilloscope

THEORY:-
Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK):
The simplest method of modulating a carrier with a data stream is to change the amplitude
of the carrier wave every time the data changes. This modulation technique is known
amplitude shift keying. The simplest way of achieving amplitude shift keying is by
switching ‘On’ the carrier whenever the data bit is '1' & switching off. Whenever the data
bit is '0' i.e. the transmitter outputs the carrier for a' 1 ' & totally suppresses the carrier for a
'0'. This technique is known as ‘On-Off’ keying figure 20 illustrates the amplitude shift
keying for the given data stream.
Thus, Data = 1 carrier transmitted, Data = 0 carrier suppressed
The ASK waveform is generated by a balanced modulator circuit, also known as linear
multiplier. As the name suggests, the device multiplies the instantaneous signal at its two
inputs. The output voltage being productof the two input voltages at any instance of time.
One of the inputs is AC coupled 'carrier' wave of high frequency. Generally; the carrier
wave is a sine wave since any other waveform would increase the bandwidth, without
providing any advantages. The other input which is the information signal to be transmitted,
is DC coupled. It is known as modulating signal.
The data stream applied is unipolar i.e. 0 volts at logic '0' & + 5 Volts at logic '1'. The
output of balanced modulator is a sine wave, unchanged in phase when a data bit ‘l' is
applied to it. In this case the carrier is multiplied with a positive constant voltage when the
data bit '0' is applied, the carrier is multiplied by 0 volts, giving rise to 0 volt signal at
modulator's output. The ASK modulation result in a great simplicity at the receiver. The
method to demodulate the ASK modulation results in a great simplicity at the receiver. The
method to demodulate the ASK waveform is to rectify it, pass it through the filter &'Square

Up' the resulting waveform. The output is the original data stream. Figure 22shows the
functional blocks required in order to demodulate the ASK waveform atreceiver.

BLOCK DIAGRAM

ASK Modulator

ASK Demodulator
PROCEDURE:-
1. The ASK waveform is rectified by a diode rectifier, giving a positive going signal. This
signal is too rounded to be used as digital data. Also the carrier component is still present &
it is of unreliable amplitude due to the attenuation &noise in transmission path. In fact it is a
great drawback associated with ASK modulation. The data level may be misinterpreted by
the receiver if the amplitude change is too much.
2. After rectification, the signal is passed through the low pass filter to remove the carrier
component. This result in slightly rounded pulses of unreliable amplitude.
3. These rounded pulsed are then 'Squared Up' (i.e. shaped in a square wave fashion) by
passing it through voltage comparator set at a threshold level. If the input voltage exceeds
The threshold level, the comparator output is a +5V signal and into her case it is O\Z Thus
at the end we have the true copy of the original input

EXPERIMENT NO.14
AIM:- To generate and demodulate quadrature phase shifted (QPSK) signal
using MATLAB

APPRATUS USED:-
MATLAB R2010a

THEORY:-
Generation of Quadrature phase shift keyed (QPSK) signal
QPSK is also known as quaternary PSK, quadrature phase PSK, 4-PSK, or 4-QAM. It
is a phase modulation technique that transmits two bits in four modulation states.
Phase of the carrier takes on one of four equally spaced values such as π/4, 3π/4, 5π/4
and7π/4.
Si (t) = √2E/T cos {2 πƒct + (2i – 1) π/4}, 0≤ t ≤T
0, elsewhere
Where i = 1,2,3,4, & E= Tx signal energy per symbol
T= symbol duration
Each of the possible value of phase corresponds to a pair of bits called dibits.
Thus the gray encoded set of dibits: 10,00,01,11
Si (t) = √2E/Tcos [(2i – 1) π/4] cos (2πfct) - √2E/Tsin [(2i –1) π/4)] sin (2πfct) ,0≤ t
≤Tb
0, else where
There are two orthonormal basis functions
c1 (t) = √2/T cos 2πƒct, 0≤ t ≤Tb
c2 (t) = √2/T sin 2πƒct, 0≤ t ≤Tb

4. Multiply carrier 1 with odd bits of message signal and carrier 2 with even bits of
message signal
5. Perform addition of odd and even modulated signals to get the QPSK modulated signal
6. Plot QPSK modulated signal.
7. End FOR loop.
8. Plot the binary data and carriers.

QPSK demodulation
1. Start FOR loop
2. Perform correlation of QPSK modulated signal with quadrature carriers to get two
decision variables x1 and x2.
3. Make decision on x1 and x2 and multiplex to get demodulated binary data.
If x1>0and x2>0, choose ‘11’. If x1>0and x2<0, choose ‘10’. If x1<0and x2>0,
choose ‘01. If x1<0and x2<0, choose ‘00’.
End FOR loop
Plot demodulated data
