General Introduction

Television is a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens,
chiefly used to broadcast programs for entertainment, information, and education.
The television set has become a commonplace in many households, businesses, and institutions.
It is a major vehicle for advertising.

Basic Principles of Television


RADAR stands for Radio Detection and Ranging System. It is basically an electromagnetic
system used to detect the location and distance of an object from the point where the RADAR is
placed. It works by radiating energy into space and monitoring the echo or reflected signal from
the objects. It operates in the UHF and microwave range.

A Basic Idea of RADAR

The RADAR system generally consists of a transmitter which produces an electromagnetic


signal which is radiated into space by an antenna. When this signal strikes any object, it gets
reflected or reradiated in many directions. This reflected or echo signal is received by the radar
antenna which delivers it to the receiver, where it is processed to determine the geographical
statistics of the object. The range is determined by the calculating the time taken by the signal to
travel from the RADAR to the target and back. The target’s location is measured in angle, from
the direction of maximum amplitude echo signal, the antenna points to. To measure range and
location of moving objects, Doppler Effect is used.

A Basic RADAR System

Given below are 6 major parts of a RADAR System:

 A Transmitter: It can be a power amplifier like a Klystron, Travelling Wave Tube or a


power Oscillator like a Magnetron. The signal is first generated using a waveform generator
and then amplified in the power amplifier.
 Waveguides: The waveguides are transmission lines for transmission of the RADAR signals.
 Antenna: The antenna used can be a parabolic reflector, planar arrays or electronically
steered phased arrays.

20
Laboratory Manual
TV AND RADAR ENGG (EC- 804) 2017-18

 Duplexer: A duplexer allows the antenna to be used as a transmitter or a receiver. It can be a


gaseous device that would produce a short circuit at the input to the receiver when transmitter
is working.
 Receiver: It can be super heterodyne receiver or any other receiver which consists of a
processor to process the signal and detect it.
 Threshold Decision: The output of the receiver is compared with a threshold to detect the
presence of any object. If the output is below any threshold, the presence of noise is assumed.

EXPERIMENT NO 1

AIM: To Study the Circuit Description of RF Tuner Section

APPARATUS REQUIRED: T.V. kit


THEORY:

A Television receiver commonly called TV or Television set receives the telecast signals and
reproduces the televised scene and sound. The following functions are performed by various
stages of a television receiver.

1. To intercept the telecast signals, to select the signals of the desired channel and to amplify
these.

2. To separate the video (vision or picture) signals from the combined signals, to amplify these
and to reproduce these in to form of picture on the picture-tube screen. This is done with the
help of horizontal and vertical sweeps.
3. To separate the FM sound signals, to amplify to detect and to reproduce the sound.
4. To separate the synchronizing signals (in brief sync signal ) from the composite video-signals.
5. To produce horizontal (line ) and vertical (frame ) sweep signals, synchronized with the help
of sync signals and to give these to the respective deflection coils producing the two sweeps.
6. To provide power at suitable D.C. voltages for operating various stages, providing supply to
various electrodes of the picture tube and for heating its cathode.

22
Laboratory Manual
TV AND RADAR ENGG (EC- 804) 2017-18

The working of the various stages/sections of a solid-stage TV receiver has been briefly
described here with the help of the block schematic diagram in which various stages have been
depicted in the form of boxes. While the number of ICs used in different models of TV receivers
may differ, this block schematic which is based on four ICs represents a fairly balanced
circuit optimizing the use of ICs.

AERIAL:
The aerial picks up the telecast signals and gives these to the input of the tuner through the
feeder wire and an impedance matching transformer know as “ balun”.

TUNER: The signals picked up by the aerial are given to the tuner which consists of two stages
of RF amplifier and frequency changer (converter). The RF amplifier partly selects the signals
of the desired channel and amplifies these. The amplified signals are given to the frequency
changer.

23
Laboratory Manual
TV AND RADAR ENGG (EC- 804) 2017-18

The frequency changer (converter) performs two functions. Firstly it produces oscillations at a
frequency which is higher than the frequency of the incoming signals by the intermediate
frequency (IF), secondly it mixes the incoming signals and the oscillations. This mixing results
in the production of intermediate frequency (IF) signals. Since there are two independent
signals video and audio, two frequencies are produced. The usual intermediate frequencies in the
system used in our country are 38.9 MHz for picture and 33.4 MHz for the sound respectively.

A single channel or multichannel tuner may be used depending on whether a receiver is meant
for single channel or multichannel reception. Bipolar tuners having turret tuning or incremental
tuning are common in multichannel TV receivers. Electronic tuners are also gaining popularity.

Viva Question:
1. Mention the major function of the camera tube?

The major function of the camera tube is to convert an optical image into electrical signals.

2. Define visual acuity?

Visual acuity can be defined as the ability of human eye to resolve finer details in a picture

3. What do you refer by persistence of eye?

The persistence of eye refers to the storage capability of the human eye

4. Define luminous intensity?

It is the measure of light intensity responsible for stimulating visual sensation.

AIM: To Perform the Fault Simulation and Step-by-Step Fault Finding Procedure
for RF Section

APPARATUS REQUIRED: T.V. kit

THEORY:

A Television receiver commonly called TV or Television set receives the telecast signals and
reproduces the televised scene and sound. The following functions are performed by various
stages of a television receiver.

1. To intercept the telecast signals, to select the signals of the desired channel and to amplify
these.

2. To separate the video (vision or picture) signals from the combined signals, to amplify these

To provide power at suitable D.C. voltages for operating various stages, providing supply to
various electrodes of the picture tube and for heating its cathode.

VIDEO IF SECTION

The picture (vision ) and sound IF signals obtained from the tuner are given to the video IF
section. Two or three wave-traps are provided at the input of this section to suppress the signals

25
Laboratory Manual
TV AND RADAR ENGG (EC- 804) 2017-18

from the adjacent channels and also to reduce the amplitude of the sound IF signals (to eliminate
interference from these signals with picture signals).The main functions performed by this

section are amplification of the signals, detection of the picture (video) IF signals to obtain the
video signals, pre-amplification of video signals mixing of picture and sound IF signals,
resulting in the production of inter carrier sound IF signal (5.5 MHz) keyed AGC for the IF
amplifier and producing keyed and delayed AGC voltage for the RF amplifier in the tuner.As
the band width of the picture signals is rather large, this section is designed to provide adequate
band width. Staggered tuned circuits (circuits tuned to different frequencies ) are used for
interstage coupling to obtain the desired band width. An IC such as CA 3068 is normally used in
this section.

VIDEO OUTPUT:

The video output stage amplifiers the video signals obtained from the video (picture) IF section
and given these signals to the cathode of picture tube. As the bandwidth of the video signals is
rather large (from D.C. to abut 5.0 MHz) the video output section has to be designed to provide
sufficient gain over the entire band.Three transistors are normally used in the video output
section one as the driver the second as output and the third for the horizontal and vertical retrace
lines on the picture tube.

PICTURE TUBE:

The picture tube is a specially designed cathode ray tube which displays the video signals in the
form of picture on its screen with the help of horizontal (line) and vertical (frame) sweeps.
Electromagnetic deflection is used in the television picture tubes. A set of two windings one for
producing the horizontal sweep and the other for vertical sweep, is placed on the neck of picture
tube. These are known as deflection coils or yoke. The sweep signals are given to the respective
windings of this yoke. An IC CA 3065 (or similar) is commonly used in this section. The
functions given above, this IC also includes an electronic attenuator for volume control and a
zener diode regulated power supply for supplying its various stages.

SOUND OUTPUT :

The sound (audio) signals obtained from the sound IF section are not of sufficient amplitude to
drive the loudspeaker. The output section amplifies the sound signals and gives sufficient output
power. Two stages a driver and output are used in this section. The driver transistor (BC 148 or
similar) amplifies the sound signals obtained from the sound IF subsystem the output stage,
which normally is based on two transistors (matched pair of versa tile transistors 2N 5296 and
2N 6110 or similar types) in a complementary , symmetry single- ended push pull circuit,
further amplifies the sound signals and gives them to the loudspeaker. Positive and negative
flyback pulses are also obtained from this stage for keyed AGC, line frequency control and

26
Laboratory Manual
TV AND RADAR ENGG (EC- 804) 2017-18

suppressing the retrace lines on the picture tube. The line output section utilises two transistor –
one as driver and the other as output. A high voltage power transistors such as BU 205/508A is
used in the output stage.

VERTICAL SWEEP-SECTION:

The vertical (frame) sweep-section produces vertical sweep signals and provides saw-toothed
frame-sweep current to the frame (vertical) sweep coil. This section consists of a controlled
oscillator the frequency and phase of which are kept in synchronization by the sync signals. This
is followed by an

amplifier cum output stage which amplifiers these oscillations and drives quiescent current
through the frame deflection coil. An IC like IC 2130 is commonly used in this sweep current to
the frame (vertical) sweep coil. This section consists of a controlled oscillator the frequency and
phase of which are kept in synchronization by the sync signals. This is followed by an amplifier
cum output stage which amplifiers these oscillations and drives sufficient current through the
frame defection coil.An IC like IC 2130 is commonly used in this section. In some earlier
models transistorized circuits have also been used in the sections.

POWER SUPPLY:

In solid state television receiver power is required at different D.C. voltage for operating various
stages. These are obtained from the main power supply and the auxiliary power supply. The
main power supply provides D.C. voltages of about 110 to 130 volts. This is obtained by
rectifying the mains voltage and smoothening it . This power from the main supply is usually
given to the video amplifier line output section and the grid of the picture tube. A 12 volt supply
is also obtained from it by dropping and stabilizing this voltage, for feeding the line oscillator
sub-section. The auxiliary power supply is a part of the line output stage. DC voltage ranging
from 12 to14 volts are provided by the auxiliary power supply. These are used for supplying to
various sections operating at low voltage. In some television receivers an IC like CA 810 may
be used in sound section in place of the transistors. ICs are now available which are capable of
performing the complete functions of sound IF and sound output sections. CA 1190 (BEL) is an
example of these ICs.

LINE OSCILLATOR SUB – SECTION

The main function of the line oscillator is to produce oscillations at the line sweep (15625 Hz).
The frequency and phase of these oscillations is controlled by the sync signals. A preamplifier
for amplifying the oscillations and sync separator are also included in this section.An IC like CA
920 (BEL) is commonly used in this sub-section. This IC combines the following function sync-

27
Laboratory Manual
TV AND RADAR ENGG (EC- 804) 2017-18

separator, noise-gating for reducing the effect noise pulses on synchronizing, line oscillator,
phase detector for comparing the phase of the line oscillator with reference to sync signals (for
correcting the oscillator phase and frequency) and preamplifier.

LINE OUTPUT:

The line output section is one of the most important section in a television receiver. It provides
saw-toothed line sweep current to the line (horizontal) deflection coil. It also performs the
following functions.

1. Producing a high voltage D.C. known as EHT (around 17,000 volts in black and white
television receivers ). This is given to the final anode of the picture-tube.

2. Producing a high voltage D.C. of about 1000 volts giving to the accelerating and focusing
anodes of the picture tube.

3. Providing low voltage A.C. for heating the filament of the picture tube.

4. Providing low voltage D.C. at suitable voltages for feeding some of the ICs and transistors.

GENERATION OF EHT

As explained under generation of sweep, the collector current of the output transistor builds up
a magnetic field around the deflection coil during trace. When the deflection current reaches its
peak value the voltage at the base of this transistor suddenly falls to zero and cuts- off this
transistor. The magnetic field around the deflection coil will therefore collapse. As the rate of
collapse of the magnetic field is very fast a high voltage is induced in the primary winding of the
line output transformer. This voltage is further stepped up by the secondary winding which
consists of a large number of turns.The voltage obtained at the secondary winding is rectified by
a diode and is smoothed by the capacity formed between the inner and outer coating in the
picture tube. This provides a D.C. voltage of about 17000 volts. A high voltage is also induced
during retrace on the primary winding of the line output transformer.

FLYBACK PULSES

During the retrace, pulses are also induced in the windings of the line output transformer. The
pulses so obtained are given to the line oscillator IC CA 920 to serve as reference of oscillator
for correction of its phase. These pulses are also given to the video amplifier for suppressing the
horizontal retrace lines.

AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY The auxiliary supply gives supply at three D.C. voltages –12 volts,
24 volts and 40 volts A voltage of about 6.3 volts from the line output transformer is given to
the heater of the picture tube (pins 1 and 8).

Various Test Point.
APPARATUS REQUIRED: Monochrome TV trainer kit, CRO, CRO probes, and multimeter.
THEORY: The Horizontal section consists of following subsections, the sync amplifier, sync
separator, AFC section, and Horizontal oscillator amplifier section. The sync pulses separated
from the composite video signal are fed to the sync amplifier. The sync amplifier amplifies the
sync signal. The amplified sync signal is given to the sync separator section, which separates the
horizontal sync signal and vertical sync signal from the original amplified sync signal. After this
separation, vertical sync signal is given to the vertical section and simultaneously horizontal sync

EXPERIMENT NO 10

AIM: To Study CCTV (closed circuit television)

CCTV (closed-circuit television) is a TV system in which signals are not publicly distributed but
are monitored, primarily for surveillance and security purposes.

CCTV relies on strategic placement of cameras, and observation of the camera's input on
monitors somewhere. Because the cameras communicate with monitors and/or video recorders
across private coaxial cable runs or wireless communication links, they gain the designation
"closed-circuit" to indicate that access to their content is limited by design only to those able to
see it.

Older CCTV systems used small, low-resolution black and white monitors with no interactive
capabilities. Modern CCTV displays can be color, high-resolution displays and can include the
ability to zoom in on an image or track something (or someone) among their features. Talk
CCTV allows an overseer to speak to people within range of the camera's associated speakers.

CCTV is commonly used for a variety of purposes, including:

44
Laboratory Manual
TV AND RADAR ENGG (EC- 804) 2017-18

 Maintaining perimeter security in medium- to high-secure areas and installations.

 Observing behaviour of incarcerated inmates and potentially dangerous patients in medical


facilities.

 Traffic monitoring.

 Overseeing locations that would be hazardous to a human, for example, highly radioactive or
toxic industrial environments.

 Building and grounds security.

 Obtaining a visual record of activities in situations where it is necessary to maintain proper


security or access controls (for example, in a diamond cutting or sorting operation; in banks,
casinos, or airports).

CCTV is finding increasing use in law-enforcement, for everything from traffic observation (and
automated ticketing) to observation of high-crime areas or neighbourhoods. Such use of CCTV
technology has fuelled privacy concerns in many parts of the world, particularly in those areas in
the UK and Europe where it has become a routine part of police procedure.

EXPERIMENT NO 11

AIM: To Study of Doppler Effect with working principles of radar system.

INTRODUCTION:

Radar is something that is in use all around us, although it is normally invisible. Air traffic
control uses radar to track planes both on the ground and in the air, and also to guide planes in
for smooth landings. Police use radar to detect the speed of passing motorists. NASA uses radar
to map the Earth and other planets, to track satellites and space debris and to help with things
like docking and maneuvering. The military uses it to detect the enemy and to guide weapons.
Meteorologists use radar to track storms, hurricanes and tornadoes. You even see a form of radar
at many grocery stores when the doors open automatically! Obviously, radar is an extremely
useful technology.

RADAR BASICS:
When people use radar, they are usually trying to accomplish one of three things:

• Detect the presence of an object at a distance - Usually the "something" is moving, like an
airplane, but radar can also be used to detect stationary objects buried underground. In some
cases, radar can identify an object as well; for example, it can identify the type of aircraft it has
detected.

• Detect the speed of an object - This is the reason why police use radar.

46
Laboratory Manual
TV AND RADAR ENGG (EC- 804) 2017-18

• Map something - The space shuttle and orbiting satellites use something called

Synthetic Aperture Radar to create detailed topographic maps of the surface of planets and
moons.

All three of these activities can be accomplished using two things you may be familiar with from
Eeryday life:

Echo and Doppler shift. These two concepts are easy to understand in the realm of sound
because your ears hear echo and Doppler shift every day. Radar makes use of the same
techniques using radio waves. In this article, we'll uncover radar's secrets. Let's look at the sound
version first, since you are already familiar with this concept.

ECHO AND DOPPLER SHIFT:

Echo is something you experience all the time. If you shout into a well or a canyon, the echo
comes back a moment later. The echo occurs because some of the sound waves in your shout
reflect off of a surface (either the water at the bottom of the well or the canyon wall on the far
side) and travel back to your ears. The length of time between the moment you shout and the
comment that you hear the echo is determined by the distance between you and the surface that
creates the echo.

Doppler shift is also common. You probably experience it daily (often without realizing it).
Doppler shift occurs when sound is generated by, or reflected off of, a moving object. Doppler
shift in the extreme creates sonic booms (see below). Here's how to understand Doppler shift
(you may also want to try this experiment in an empty parking lot). Let's say there is a car
coming toward you at 60 miles per hour (mph) and its horn is blaring. You will hear the horn
playing one "note" as the car approaches, but when the car passes you the sound of the horn will
suddenly shift to a lower note. It's the same horn making the same sound the whole time. The
change you hear is caused by Doppler shift.

47
Laboratory Manual
TV AND RADAR ENGG (EC- 804) 2017-18

Doppler shift: The person behind the car hears a lower tone than the driver because the car is
moving away. The person in front of the car hears a higher tone than the driver because the car is
approaching Now let's say that the car is moving toward you at 60 mph. It starts from a mile
away and toots it's horn for exactly one minute. You will still hear the six-second delay.
However, the sound will only play for 54 seconds. That's because the car will be right next to
you after one minute, and the sound at the end of the minute gets to you instantaneously. The car
(from the driver's perspective) is still blaring its horn for one minute. Because the car is moving,
however, the minute's worth of sound gets packed into 54 seconds from your perspective. The
same number of sound waves is packed into a smaller amount of time. Therefore, their frequency
is increased, and the horn's tone sounds higher to you. As the car passes you and moves away,
the process is reversed and the sound expands to fill more time. Therefore, the tone is lower. You
can combine echo and Doppler shift in the following way. Say you send out a loud sound toward
a car moving toward you. Some of the sound waves will bounce off the car (an echo). Because
the car is moving toward you, however, the sound waves will be compressed. Therefore, the
sound of the echo will have a higher pitch than the original sound you sent. If you measure the
pitch of the echo, you can determine how fast the car is going.

UNDERSTANDING RADAR:
We have seen that the echo of a sound can be used to determine how far away something is, and
we have also seen that we can use the Doppler shift of the echo to determine how fast something
is going. It is therefore possible to create a "sound radar," and that is exactly what sonar is.
Submarines and boats use sonar all the time. You could use the same principles with sound in the
air, but sound in the air has a couple of problems:

48
Laboratory Manual
TV AND RADAR ENGG (EC- 804) 2017-18

• Sound doesn't travel very far -- maybe a mile at the most.

• Almost everyone can hear sounds, so a "sound radar" would definitely disturb the neighbors
you can eliminate most of this problem by using ultrasound instead of audible sound).

• Because the echo of the sound would be very faint, it is likely that it would be hard to detect.

Radar therefore uses radio waves instead of sound. Radio waves travel far, are invisible to
humans and are easy to detect even when they are faint. Let's take a typical radar set designed to
detect airplanes in flight. The radar set turns on its transmitter and shoots out a short, high-
intensity burst of high-frequency radio waves. The burst might last a microsecond. The radar set
then turns off its transmitter, turns on its receiver and listens for an echo. The radar set measures
the time it takes for the echo to arrive, as well as the Doppler shift of the echo. Radio waves
travel at the speed of light, roughly 1,000 feet per microsecond; so if the radar set has a good
high-speed clock, it can measure the distance of the airplane very accurately. Using special
signal processing equipment, the radar set can also measure the Doppler shift very accurately and
determine the speed of the airplane.

The radar antenna sends out a short, high-power pulse of radio waves at a known frequency.
When the waves hit an object, they echo off of it and the speed of the object Doppler-shifts the
echo. The same antenna is used to receive the much-weaker signals that return. In ground-based
radar, there's a lot more potential interference than in air-based radar. When a police radar shoots
out a pulse, it echoes off of all Sorts of objects -- fences, bridges, mountains, buildings. The
easiest way to remove this entire sort of clutter is to filter it out by recognizing that it is not
Doppler-shifted. Police radar looks only for Doppler-shifted signals, and because the radar beam
is tightly focused it hits only one car.

RESULT:
Basics of Doppler radar have been discussed.

VIVA QUESTIONS:

1) What is Doppler Principle?

A: When the source for signals and the observer are in relative motion, there is change in
frequency (wavelength) observed by the observer. In case the source and observer are moving
closer, frequency increases and vice versa. The principle was first discovered by Austrian
physicist Christian Doppler, hence named after him as Doppler Principle.

2) What is PPI -Plan Position Indicator?

49
Laboratory Manual
TV AND RADAR ENGG (EC- 804) 2017-18

This product is same as available from conventional radars. A constant elevation surface data is
presented as a cloud image around the radar station. The data displayed is on the slant range
depending on the elevation angle (generally 0.5 degree); thus the PPI is quite similar to a
classical radar display.

3) What is radar?

A: Radar is acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging. It uses electro-magnetic waves in
microwave region to detect location (range & direction), height (altitude), intensity (in case of
weather systems) and movement of moving and non-moving targets.

Q: What is the working principle of radars?

A: Radars are used for detection of aircrafts, ships, weather systems and a variety of other
applications. Our discussion is restricted to weather radars only. Radar transmitter transmits
electro-magnetic waves through a directional antenna in any given direction in a focused manner.
A part of the transmitted energy is absorbed by the atmosphere. Some of the energy travels
further through the atmosphere and a fraction of it is scattered backward by the targets and is
received by the radar receiver. The amount of received power depends upon radar parameters.

proper deflection in the form of Doppler frequency.

6) Now measure the Doppler frequency at TP1.

Now we know that, frequency (f)=Cycles or rotation per second. Now


frequency(HZ)×60=Rotation per minute It means RPM calculated by Doppler frequency is
approximately equal to the actual RPM of the fan.
