Theory
Amplitude modulation is defined as the process in which the amplitude of the carrier wave is
varied in accordance with the base band signal (Modulating Wave). The envelope of the
modulated wave has the same shape as the base band signal.
Procedure
DEMODULATION
Theory
Demodulation is the reverse process of modulation. The detector circuit is employed to separate
the carrier wave and eliminate the side bands. Since the envelope of an AM wave has the same
shape as the message, independent of the carrier frequency and phase, demodulation can be
accomplished by extracting envelope.

Theory
Delta modulation is a simplified PCM. The output of a delta modulator is a bit stream of
samples, at a relatively high rate the value of each bit being determined according as to whether
the input message sample amplitude has increased or decreased relative to the previous sample.
It is an example of differential pulse code modulati0n (DPCM) . The operation of a delta
modulator is to periodically sample the input message, to make a comparison of the current
sample with that preceding it, and to output a single bit which indicates the sign of the difference
between the two samples

External Function Generator.
ACS-04
Theory
Time Division Multiplexing is outcome of the principle of sampling signals. It is used to
simultaneously transmit several signals over a single channel. Each of the signals is sampled at
a rate in excess of the Nyquist rate. The samples are interleaved in a multiplexer, and a single
composite signal consisting of all the interleaved pulses is transmitted over the channel. At the
receiving end the interleaved samples are separated by a demultiplexer, and then each signal is
reconstructed from the appropriate set of samples.
The samples can be coded into pulses using different modulation schemes such as PAM, PWM,
PPM and PCM. In this experiment two channels PAM-TDM system will be demonstrated. Fig.
4.1
shows how the two signals s1(t) & s2(t) are sampled and how the samples are interleaved in time
before transmission. The mechanical commutator, implemented using analog switches,
multiplexes the two signals. At the receiver a similar mechanical commutator now called as
demultiplexer, separates the interleaved samples and sends them on to appropriate LPF for signal
reconstruction. For successful demultiplexing the two commutators must operate in precise
synchronism.

• ACS-03
Theory:
In AM signals, where the amplitude of the carrier is modulated by the modulating signal y(t),
and, hence, the information content of y(t), lies in the amplitude variation of the AM signal. On
the other hand in frequency modulation (FM), the carrier frequency is modulated by the
amplitude of the modulating signal and the information content of y(t), therefore, lies in the
frequency variation of the FM signal. Mathematically, FM signal is described by the equation:
XFM(t) = A. cos( wct + kjy(t).dt)
where k is constant and A is the amplitude of the carrier. The frequency of the carrier at any
instant is given by:
w(t) = wc + k.y(t).
Therefore, in FM, the instantaneous frequency of the carrier, varies directly with the amplitude
of the modulating signal. Depending upon the maximum ampltude of y(t) signal, the maximum
deviation in the frequency of the carrier from its center frequency o)c, is given by:
Δw = k. | y(t) | max
Practically, FM, is generated by various methods given in text books. In this experiment FM will
be generated by a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) whose frequency can be controlled by
externally applied voltage.
The FM signal is demodulated using different methods also described in various text books. In
this experiment use of a phase lock loop (PLL), has been made to demodulate the FM signal.

Theory
A band-limited signal f(t)with maximum signal frequency fm (bandwidth) can be reconstructed
by filtering when sampled at a rate greater than twice fm. If a signal is sampled at Nyquist rate
i.e. 2fm, then an ideal low pass filter is required to reconstruct the original signal. In practice we
can’t realize ideal LPF (with brick wall response), therefore in order to reconstruct the signal free
of distortion, we sample the signal at rate greater than 2fm so as to spread out in frequency
domain, the sidebands of the sampled signal. The cut off frequency of LPF must be equal to the
fm and order should be high enough to reject side bands to a sufficient level. Mathematically, if a
band limited signal f(t), is sampled with sampling function g(t) shown below, then sampled
signal r(t), can written as,
r(t) = f(t).g(t)
The Fourier spectrum of the sampled signal is

The analog signal is sampled, quantized and coded to convert into digital signal. Block diagram
of PCM generation system is shown in Fig.9.1.
ADC
X(t)
Fig.1
The analog signal is band limited by a LPF and applied to sample-and-hold unit. The sampled
signal is then rounded off to the nearest discrete value in a set of L quantized levels. The
resulting waveform is discrete in time (by virtue of sampling) and discrete in amplitude (by
virtue of quantization). Next, an encoder translates the quantized samples into digital code
words. The encoder works with binary digits (0 & 1) and produces for each sample a code word
consisting of n bits in parallel. The number of quantized levels “L” and length of code word un",
are related by:
L = 2n
Finally, successive code words are readout serially, to constitute PCM waveform. If fs is the
sampling frequency, then output bit rate of PCM waveform for word length n is nf#.
In PCM receiver (Fig. 2), the received signal contaminated by noise, is regenerated to yield a
clean PCM waveform. Using sync and timing information, the serial bits are converted into
parallel words. DAC (digital to analog converter) then regenerates sample and hold (staircase)
waveform.
Department of Electrical Engineering
The University of Faisalabad
This staircase waveform differs from original S/H waveform by the round off error, introduced
in the quantizer. Low pass filter then produces smoothed output signal, which differs from the
original signal to the extent that the quantized samples differ from the exact sample values.
Quantizing process, introduces noise in PCM signal, which depends upon word length “n”. The
signal to noise ratio (SNR), of a PCM signal is given by:
SNR = 3. 2".K or
SNR (dB) = 10.log(K) + 4.8 +6.0.n dB
where K is the ratio of rms to peak signal amplitudes and is always <1. For above it is obvious,
that SNR depends upon K and n. SNR improves by 6 dB whenever PCM word length “n”, is
increased by one bit.
In this experiment, use of 8 bit PCM (word length n-8) has been made. Clock signal of 64 KHz
has been made. Each PCM word (encoded signal sample), is followed by a zero to differentiate it
from the succeeding PCM word (next signal sample). PCM waveform is shown in Fig. 9.3

4.Dual Beam Scope
Theory:
Pulse Time Modulation represents a category of the pulse modulation techniques in' which the
timingof pulse, and not the amplitude, is varied parameter. Two types of Pulse Time Modulations
are pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse position modulation (PPM). The analog signal is
sampled, and sample value is used to vary the width of th* pulse to produce PWM signal and
position of the pulse to output PPM signal.
Fig.1 shows the block diagram of pulse width and position modulator. Timing diagram relating
the modulating and the sampling signals to the PWM and PPM signals, is shown in Fig. 2.
Tlfe pulse width modulator shown in fig. 2 takes sampling signal and converts it into a Sawtooth
waveform using an integrator. The modulating signal is sampled and passed through sample and
hold circuit to generate a staircase signal, which is compared with sawtooth waveform using a
voltage comparator. The output of the comparator is the PWM signal which is then fed to pulse
generator which triggers at the -ve going transition and its output is the PPM signal. The PWM
and PPM signals Min be demodulated using a low pass filter.

Theory:
So far we have carried out experiments regarding base band digital modulation techniques,
which are suitable for transmission of signals over wire and short distances. When base band
signal is transmitted over a radio link, its spectrum is shifted to high frequency range to
efficiently radiate the low frequency base band signal. A spectrum shift is also required to
transmit several message signals simultaneously by sharing the large bandwidth of the
transmission medium. The spectrum can be shifted to a higher frequency by modulating the
amplitude, phase and frequency of the high frequency carrier. In amplitude modulation, NRZ
base band signal y(t), is multiplied with the carrier cosct, we have modulated carrier y(t).cosct,
as shown in Fig.1. This modulation scheme of transmitting binary data is known as amplitude
shift keying (ASK). When the data is transmitted by varying the

carrier frequency, the modulation scheme is known frequency shift keying (FSK). A “0” bit is
transmitted by a carrier pulse of “f1” frequency, and “1” bit is transmitted by carrier pulse of “f 2”

frequency. FSK signal waveform, is shown in Fig.1. If the base band signal y(t), were polar
(where “1” data bit is represented by +ve pulse, and “0” bit is represented by –ve pulse), the
corresponding modulated signal would appear as shown in Fig.1. The phase of the carrier, when
“1” bit is transmitted differ by radians than that when “0” bit is transmitted. The bit
information therefore resides in the phase of the carrier. This scheme is known as phase shit
keying. We will take up ASK & PSK in next experiment, however, we perform experiment on
FSK here. Mathematically, we can represent FSK signal as summation of two ASK signals as
under:
s(t) = y(t).cos(1t) + y(t).cos(2t)
where 1, 2 are carrier frequencies of ASK signals and y(t) & y(t) are NRZ and NRZ
complement are data signals. The PSD of FSK is then summation of PSD two AASK signals.
Practically, FSK is generated by modulating a frequency modulator with a digital signal y(t).
This type of FSK is known as Continuous–phase FSK “CPFSK” which can be represented
mathematically as,
s(t) = Ac.cos(ct + +d

FSK Demodulator
The FSK signal is demodulated using a phase lock loop. FSK Demodulation section of
the module will be used for this purpose. Observe VCO free running frequency at Test
point TP3 (pin # 12 of IC XR2211), on the scope. Using 10K potentiometer, adjust VCO
frequency till it is equal to the mean of the two frequencies recorded in table above.
Now apply FSK modulated signal to the FSK Demodulated signal. The modulating data
NRZ signal will appear at the output of the demodulator. If the NRZ data is not
recovered properly, then readjust VCO frequency slightly. Display the recovered NRZ
data on CH1 and original NRZ data on CH2 of the scope. Compare the two waveforms.

Theory
We have already discussed digital carrier modulation schemes and we performed experiment on
frequency shit keying (FSK). In this experiment we will look at Phase Shift Keying (PSK) and
Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK). Briefly, in PSK, it is phase changes of a sine wave that
represents the binary ones and zeroes of digital signals. A binary zero is 180 out of phase
(phase shifted) with respect to a binary one. Each phase shift occurs at 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 transition.
The amplitude and frequency of the carrier remains constant. Mathematically, PSK signal is
represented by the following equation:
Where y(t) is the NRZ/Manchester signal. Fig 7.1C shows PSK modulated signal for given NRZ
data. In ASK, it is the amplitude difference or the presence and absence of a sine wave that
represents the binary ones and zeroes. A binary 1 represents fixed amplitude sine wave and
absence of sine wave carrier represents, zero. Fig7.a shows the ASK signal. Mathematically,
ASK signal is represented by y(t).coswt.
PSK modulator is shown in Fig.1, where coswt and cos(wt+180) are generated by a phase
shifter. The NRZ data y(t) and its complement y(t), are multiplied in Digital switch IC 4046,
with coswt and cos(wt+180) carrier, respectively. The two components are added together to
generate PSK signal. To generate ASK signal, y(t).cos(wt+180) is set to zero.

To demodulate PSK or ASK signals, a balance modulator is used where ASK & PSK signals are
demodulated synchronously by multiplying the signals with the carrier. The demodulated signals
are passed through LPF to recover y(t) data waveform.
