AM DETECTION
THEORY:
The process of detection provides a means of recovering the modulating Signal
from modulating signal. 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.
An increased time constant RC results in a marginal output follows the
modulation envelope. A further increase in time constant the discharge curve become
horizontal if the rate of modulation envelope during negative half cycle of the modulation
voltage is faster than the rate of voltage RC combination ,the output fails to follow the
modulation resulting distorted output is called as “ diagonal clipping : this will occur
even high modulation index.
The depth of modulation at the detector output greater than unity and circuit
impedance is less than circuit load (Rl > Zm) results in clipping of negative peaks of
modulating signal. It is called “negative clipping “

THEORY:
Pulse amplitude modulation is a scheme, which alters the amplitude of
regularly spaced rectangular pulses in accordance with the instantaneous values of a
continuous message signal.
Then amplitude of the modulated pulses represents the amplitude of the
intelligence.
A train of very short pulses of constant amplitude and fast repetition rate is
chosen the amplitude of these pulse is made to vary in accordance with that of a slower
modulating signal the result is that of multiplying the train by the modulating signal the
envelope of the pulse height corresponds to the modulating wave .the Pam wave contain
upper and lower side band frequencies .besides the modulating and pulse signals.

PRE-EMPHASIS CIRCUITS
The circuits are the transmitting side of the frequency modulator. It is used to
increase the gain of the higher frequency component as the input signal frequency
increased, the impendence of the collector voltage increase. If the signal frequency is
lesser then the impendence decrease which increase the collector current and hence
decrease the voltage.
DE-EMPHASIS CIRCUITS:
The circuit is placed at the receiving side. It acts as allow pass filter. The boosting
gain for higher frequency signal in the transmitting side is done by the pre-emphasis
circuit is filtered to the same value by the low pass filter. The cut off frequency is given

5. ANALOG MULTIPLEXING
AIM:
To perform time division multiplexing and de- multiplexing using PAM signals.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
The purpose of which is to transform the multiplexed signal into a form suitable for
transmission over the communication channel.
At the receiving end of the system, the received signal is applied to a pulse
amplitude demodulator, which performs the reverse operation of the pulse amplitude
modulator. The short pulses produced at the pulse demodulator output are distributed to
the appropriate low-pass reconstruction filters by means of a decommutator, which
operates in synchronism with the commutator in the transmitter. This synchronization is
essential for satisfactory operation of the TDM system, and provisions have to be made
for it
PROCEDURE:
1. Take the inputs from the function generator and give it to the channel in the
transmitter (Ch0..Ch3)using a patch chords
2. Note down the amplitude and time period of each signal that is available in
(Ch0...Ch3).
3. Measure the voltage and time period at the transmitter output.
4. Using a patch chord, connect transmitter output to receiver input.
5. For synchronization purpose, connect the transmitter clock and receiver clock
and also Txch0 and Rx0.

6. STUDY OF FM DEMODULATION
Several types of fm detectors have been developed and are in use, but in this
section we will study two of the most common: (1) the slope detector, (2) Foster-seeley
discriminator.
SLOPE DETECTION
FOSTER-SEELEY DISCRIMINATOR
The output of the Foster-Seeley discriminator is affected not only by the input
frequency, but also to a certain extent by the input amplitude. Therefore, using limiter
stages before the detector is necessary.
Figure (e) shows a typical Foster-Seeley discriminator. The collector circuit of the
preceding limiter/amplifier circuit (Q1) is shown. The limiter/amplifier circuit is a special
amplifier circuit which limits the amplitude of the signal. This limiting keeps interfering
noise low by removing excessive amplitude variations from signals. The collector circuit
tank consists of C1 and L1. C2 and L2 form the secondary tank circuit. Both tank circuits
are tuned to the center frequency of the incoming fm signal. Choke L3 is the dc return
path for diode rectifiers CR1 and CR2. R1 and R2 are not always necessary but are
usually used when the back (reverse bias) resistance of the two diodes is different.
Resistors R3 and R4 are the load resistors and are bypassed by C3 and C4 to remove RF.
C5 is the output coupling capacitor.
The input signal applied to the primary tank circuit is shown as vector ep. Since
coupling capacitor C8 has negligible reactance at the input frequency, RF choke L3 is
effectively in parallel with the primary tank circuit. Also, because L3 is effectively in
parallel with the primary tank circuit, input voltage ep also appears across L3. With
voltage ep applied to the primary of T1, a voltage is induced in the secondary which
causes current to flow in the secondary tank circuit. When the input frequency is equal to
the center frequency, the tank is at resonance and acts resistive. Current and voltage are
in phase in a resistance circuit, as shown by is and ep. The current flowing in the tank
causes voltage drops across each half of the balanced secondary winding of transformer
T1. These voltage drops are of equal amplitude and opposite polarity with respect to the
center tap of the winding. Because the winding is inductive, the voltage across it is 90
degrees out of phase with the current through it. Because of the center-tap arrangement,
the voltages at each end of the secondary winding of T1 are 180 degrees out of phase and
are shown as e1 and e2 on the vector diagram.
The voltage applied to the anode of CR1 is the vector sum of voltages ep and e1,
shown as e3 on the diagram. Likewise, the voltage applied to the anode of CR2 is the
vector sum of voltages ep and e2, shown as e4 on the diagram. At resonance e3 and e4 are
equal, as shown by vectors of the same length. Equal anode voltages on diodes CR1 and
CR2 produce equal currents and, with equal load resistors, equal and opposite voltages
will be developed across R3 and R4. The output is taken across R3 and R4 and will be 0
at resonance since these voltages are equal and of appositive polarity.
The diodes conduct on opposite half cycles of the input waveform and produce a
series of dc pulses at the RF rate. This RF ripple is filtered out by capacitors C3 and C4.
A phase shift occurs when an input frequency higher than the center frequency is
applied to the discriminator circuit and the current and voltage phase relationships
change. When a series-tuned circuit operates at a frequency above resonance, the
inductive reactance of the coil increases and the capacitive reactance of the capacitor
decreases. Above resonance the tank circuit acts like an inductor. Secondary current lags
the primary tank voltage, ep. Notice that secondary voltages e1 and e2 are still 180 degrees
out of phase with the current (iS) that produces them. The change to a lagging secondary
current rotates the vectors in a clockwise direction. This causes el to become more in
phase with ep while e2 is shifted further out of phase with ep. The vector sum of ep and e2
is less than that of ep and e1. Above the center frequency, diode CR1 conducts more than
diode CR2. Because of this heavier conduction, the voltage developed across R3 is
greater than the voltage developed across R4; the output voltage is positive.
When the input frequency is lower than the center frequency, the current and
voltage phase relationships change. When the tuned circuit is operated at a frequency
lower than resonance, the capacitive reactance increases and the inductive reactance
decreases. Below resonance the tank acts like a capacitor and the secondary current leads
primary tank voltage ep. This change to a leading secondary current rotates the vectors in
a counterclockwise direction. From the vector diagram you should see that e2 is
brought nearer in phase with ep, while el is shifted further out of phase with ep. The
vector sum of ep and e2 is larger than that of e p and e1. Diode CR2 conducts more than
diode CR1 below the center frequency. The voltage drop across R4 is larger than that
across R3 and the output across both is negative.
DISADVANTAGES
These voltage outputs can be plotted to show the response curve of the
discriminator discussed earlier (figure (d)). When weak AM signals (too small in
amplitude to reach the circuit limiting level) pass through the limiter stages, they can
appear in the output. These unwanted amplitude variations will cause primary voltage ep
[view (A) of figure (e)] to fluctuate with the modulation and to induce a similar voltage in
the secondary of T1. Since the diodes are connected as half-wave rectifiers, these small
AM signals will be detected as they would be in a diode detector and will appear in the
output. This unwanted AM interference is cancelled out in the ratio detector and is the
main disadvantage of the Foster-Seeley circuit.
7. AM MODULATOR USING PSPICE
DESCRIPTION:
Two signal generators are used in this circuit, one representing a high frequency
(200 kHz) RF carrier, VG2; the other signal generator is used to inject a 1 KHz audio
signal. The two signals are mixed and amplified by the transistor and an amplitude
modulated signal appears at the collector of the T1 (2N 2222). The DC component is
removed by C2 and R3 and the RF output now appears across the load resistor R3.

To produce an output in Spice Opus start the program and load the new Vmod.cir the
modulated signal appears across R3 which is now node 3 and earth. After loading the
circuit the command "listing" will display the net list. The command "run" will then
simulate the circuit; "display" will print a list of all variables in the circuit. The command
plot v(3) will display the AM wave between node 3 and 0 i.e. the load resistor R3.
Note to speed up simulation, the RF carrier has been limited to 200KHz only, and the
output waveform just shows two complete cycles of the audio wave, i.e. 2ms as the
modulating frequency is 1k.

Is chosen to be less than or equal to 1, from reasons having to do with demodulation, i.e.
recovery of the signal
Figures 1 and 2 are some mat lab plots of what the modulated signal looks like for
. The frequency of the modulating signal is chosen to be much smaller than that of the
carrier signal. Try to think of what would happen if the modulating index were bigger
than 1.

9. FREQUENCY MODULATION
AIM:
THEORY:
Frequency modulation uses the information signal, Vm(t) to vary the carrier
frequency within some small range about its original value. Here are the three signals in
mathematical form
• Information: Vm(t)
• Carrier: Vc(t) = Vco sin ( 2 π fc t + φ )
• FM: VFM (t) = Vco sin (2 π [fc + (Δf/Vmo) Vm (t) ] t + φ)
We have replaced the carrier frequency term, with a time-varying frequency. We have
also introduced a new term: Δf, the peak frequency deviation. In this form, you should be
able to see that the carrier frequency term: fc + (Δf/Vmo) Vm (t) now varies between the
extremes of fc - Δf and fc + Δf. The interpretation of Δf becomes clear: it is the farthest
away from the original frequency that the FM signal can be. Sometimes it is referred to as
the "swing" in the frequency.
Example: suppose in FM radio that the audio signal to be transmitted ranges from 20 to
15,000 Hz (it does). If the FM system used a maximum modulating index, β, of 5.0, then
the frequency would "swing" by a maximum of 5 x 15 kHz = 75 kHz above and below
the carrier frequency. Here is a simple FM signal:
Here, the carrier is at 30 Hz, and the modulating frequency is 5 Hz. The modulation index
is about 3, making the peak frequency deviation about 15 Hz. That means the frequency
will vary somewhere between 15 and 45 Hz. How fast the cycle is completed is a
function of the modulating frequency.
