Aim: Study of delta modulation /demodulation system

Objective:

(a) To understand the working principle of delta modulation and demodulation.

(b) Study of slope overload distortion and methods those are used for minimising it.

Requirement: Trainer Kit ST2105

Introduction:

Delta modulation is a system of digital modulation developed after pulse code modulation. In this

system, at each sampling time, say the k th 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), thus the O/P from the modulator is a series of zeros and ones.

Working of delta modulator:

The analog signal, which is to be encoded into a digital data, is applied to the positive input of the

voltage comparator, which compares it with the signal applied to its negative input from the

integrator O/P.

The comparator’s O/P is logic “High” or “Low” depending on whether the input signal at the

terminal is lower or greater than the negative terminal input signal. The comparator’s O/P is then

lathed into a flip-flop, which is clocked by the transmitter clock. This binary data stream is

transmitted to receiver and is also fed to the unipolar to bipolar converter block.

This block convert logic “0” to voltage level of +4V and logic “1” to voltage level –4V

Bipolar O/P is applied to the integrator, whose O/P is rising linear ramp signal when -4V is

applied to it and falling linear ramp signal when +4V is applied to it. The integrator O/P is then

connected to the negative terminal of voltage comparator.

Delta demodulation consists of flip-flop, a unipolar to bipolar converter followed by an integrator

and LPF.

Procedure:

1. Connect the mains supply

2. Connect the board as shown in diagram 1.

3. Select clock frequency selector block switches A & B are in A=0 & B=0 position.

4. The integrator 1 block’s switches are in following positions:

a. Gain control switch in left-hand position

b. Switch A & B are in A=0 & B=0 positions.

Page 2: Com Lab Manual

5. The integrator 2 block switches are in following positions:

a. Gain control switch in right hand position

b. Switch A & B are in A=0 & B=0 positions.

6. First connect the “+” input of the delta modulator’s VOLTAGE COMPARATOR to 0V

and monitor on an oscilloscope O/P of integrator 1 (t.p.17)

7. Adjust the transmitter’s LEVEL CHANGER preset until the O/P of integrator (t.p.17) is

triangle wave cantered around 0 volts. The peak –to-peak amplitude of the triangle wave

at the integrator’s O/P should be 0.5V(approx) this amplitude is known as the integrator

STEP size. The O/P from the transmitter BISTABLE circuit (t.p.14) will now be stream of

alternate ‘1’ and ‘0’s this is also the O/P of delta modulator itself.

8. Examine the signal at the O/P of the INTEGRATOR 2 (t.p.47) at the Receiver. This

should be triangle wave, with step size equal to that of integrator 1, and ideally centred

around 0 volt. otherwise remove it by adjusting the receiver’s LEVEL ADJUST preset.

The receiver’s LPF leave a DC level at the filter’s O/P (t.p.51).

9. Now disconnect the voltage comparator’s “+” input from OV and reconnect it to the

250Hz O/P from the FUNCTION GENERATOR block; i.e 250Hz sine-wave.

10. Display the data of the transmitter’s BISTABLE (t.p.14) together with the analog input at

t.p.9 and note that the 250Hz sine wave has effectively been encoded into a stream of data

bits.

11. Now display the O/P of INTEGRATOR 2 (t.p.47) together with the O/P of the receiver’s

LPF block (t.p.51), note that some ripple still remains at the filter’s O/P. This ripple is due

to “quantisation noise” at the integrator’s O/P, which is caused by relatively large

integrator step size.

12. This step size can be reduced by increasing the rate at which the system is clocked that is

(the sampling frequency) since this reduces the sampling period and hence the time

available between samples for the integrators to charges up and down.

13. Now increases the system clock frequency to 64KHz, by putting the switches in the A=0,

B=1 position in CLOCK FREQUENCY SELECTOR block.

14. Now examine the ripple at the LPF’s O/P (t.p.51) note that this is now less than it was

before.

15. By changing the system Clock frequency to first 128KHz (A=1, B=0) and then to 256KHz

(A=1, B=1 position) note the improvement in the LPF’s O/P signal (t.p.51). Once again, it

may be necessary to adjust slightly the transmitter’s LEVEL ADJUST preset in order to

obtain a stable oscilloscope trace.

16. Now disconnect the comparator’s ‘+’ input from 250Hz sine wave O/P and reconnect it to

the 500Hz, 1KHz and 2KHz O/P in turn. Note that as the frequency of the analog signal

increases so the LPF’s O/P becomes more distorted and reduced in amplitude.

Page 3: Com Lab Manual

17. Now when the comparator’s + input is 2KHz sine wave then examine the O/P of

INTEGRATOR 2 (t.p.47) which is no longer an approximation to the analog i/p signal but

is instead somewhat triangular in shape.

Since the analog signal is now changing so quickly that the integrators O/P can’t ramp fast

enough to “Catch Up” with it and the result is known as “ Slope overloading”

18. Although the system clock frequency (i.e. the sampling freq.) determine how often the

integrator’s o/p direction (up or down) can change, it does not affect how quickly the

integrator’s o/p can ramp up and down.

19. Slope over loading can be avoided by

a. Reducing the frequency of the analog input signal since there was no problem with

the 250Hz analog i/p

b. Reducing the amplitude of the i/p signal. This can be shown by slowly tuning the

2KHz preset anticlockwise.

c. By increasing the gain of the integrators, so that they can ramp up and down faster.

To illustrate this, first return to 2KHz preset to its fully clock wise (max

amplitude) position, so that slope overloading can once again be seen on the scope.

d. At both integrator blocks there are integrator gain switch A&B: now change the

position A&B switches from A=0, B=0 to A=0, B=1, to double the gain of the two

integrators, note that a slope overloading still occurs and continue to A=1, B=1

slope overloading can be eliminated.

Aim: Study of AM Transmitter and Receiver.

Objective: 1. Generate a DSB AM signal

2. Generate a DSB-SC signal by removing the carrier component from the DSB AM signal

3. To understand each and every block used in AM transmission and receptation

Equipments Required: Trainer Kit ST-2201 and ST-2202.

Theory: The AM transmission Block consists of following functional blocks..

(1) Audio Oscillator: This block comprises of monolithic function generator IC 8038, which

generates sine wave output whose frequency can be adjusted from 300 Hz to 3.4 KHz by

varying the frequency pot. This frequency will be used as our modulating signal, fed to

audio amplifier balanced modulator & balanced modulator & band pass filter circuit.

(2) 455 KHz Oscillators: The circuit comprises of a coil and a transistor 2N3904 generates as

frequency lightly less than 455khz and is used a carrier signal for a balanced modulator.

(3) 1MHz Crystal Oscillator: This crystal generate 1MHz frequency which is used as carrier

for the two balanced modulators& band pass filter circuits, this is being amplitude

modulated by the output from audio oscillator.

(4) Balanced Modulator: It generates two sidebands viz. upper sideband & lower side band

with carrier, than it feeds back inverted variable carrier, which then generates an output,

which contains only two side bands.

(5) Ceramic Band pass Filter: It is used to generate a SSB signal from the DSBSC signal

obtained from the balanced modulator. Which is achieved by feeding the DSBSC signal to

the input of ceramic band pass filter, whose band is so chosen as to pass only upper side

band and reject lower side band.

(6) Output Amplifier: The input to this section may be a DSB or SSB signal depending on

the position of mode switch. The output is an amplified signal, which will be transmitted

via a cable or through antenna, which is selected.

Page 7: Com Lab Manual

AMPLITUDE MODULATION (AM): The information signal should control the amplitude of the carrier wave. As the information signal increases in amplitude, the carrier wave is also made to increases in amplitude. Likewise, as the information signal decreases, then the carrier amplitude decreases.

DSB Receiver

The EM Wave from the transmitting antenna will travel to the receiving antenna carrying the information with it.

The Receiving Antenna: It operates in the reverse mode to the transmitter antenna. The electromagnetic wave strikes the antenna and generates a small voltage in it.

The Radio Frequency (RF) Amplifier: The first stage of amplification, which amplify the incoming signal above the level of the internally generated noise and also to start the process of selecting the wanted station and rejecting the unwanted ones.

The Local Oscillator: An Oscillator producing a sinusoidal output similar to the carrier wave oscillator in the transmitter, however its output frequency is adjustable. It is always maintained at a frequency, which is higher, by a fixed amount, then the incoming RF signals, therefore it follows, or tracks, the RF amplifier frequency.

Mixer: It performs a similar function to the modulator in transmitter. It combines the signal from the RF amplifier and the frequency input from the local oscillator to produce three frequencies:

(i) A ‘difference’ frequency of local oscillator frequency -RF signal frequency.(ii) A ‘sum’ frequency equal to local oscillator frequency +RF signal frequency.(iii) A component at the local oscillator frequency.

Intermediate Frequency Amplifier (IF Amplifiers): It consists of two stages of

amplification and provides the main signal amplification and selectivity, of this has

removed the unwanted components generated by the mixing process.

The Diode Detector: The function of the diode detector is to extract the audio

signal from the signal at the output of the IF Amplifiers. It performs this task in a very similar

way to a half wave rectifier converting an AC input to a DC output.

The result is an output, which contains three components:

(i) The wanted audio information signal.(ii) Some ripple at the IF frequency.(iii) A positive DC voltage level.

The Audio Amplifier: at the input to the amplifier, a low pass filter is used to remove the IF ripple and a capacitor blocks the DC voltage level as shown in figure.

The Automatic Gain Control (AGC): The AGC circuit is used to prevent very strong signals from overloading the receiver. It can also reduce the effect of fluctuations in the received signal strength.

sideband modulator.

5. At t.p.3 the output of the BALANCED MODULATOR & BANDPASS FILTER CIRCUIT

1block is a double-sideband. AM waveform, which has been formed by amplitude-

modulating the 1 Mhz carrier sine wave with the audio-frequency sine wave form the audio

oscillator, by adjusting its preset we are removing the carrier component altogether means the

carrier has been`balanced`out or suppressed to leave only the two sidebands.

6. Note that the DSBSC waveform appears, amplified slightly, at t.p. is the OUTPUT

AMPLIFIERS output signal, which will be transmitted to the receiver

Aim: To measure the losses in an optical fiber communication link.

Objective: (a) Propagation loss in the fiber

(b) Bending loss

Equipment Required: OFT, CRO, Function generator, 1 Hz – 10 MHz

Introduction:

The fiber used in OFT is multimode plastic fiber with 1000 m core diameter. Unlike

its Glass-Glass and Plastic Coated Silica fiber counterparts, this fiber has very low

attenuation. This fiber has been selected for OFT because of the ease of handling it

affords. Apart from the above propagation loss in a fiber, bending of fiber, connectors,

splices and couplers may all contribute significantly to the losses in a fiber optic

communication link.

An Optical fiber is a circular waveguide. A small bend in a fiber will not significantly

affect the propagation characteristics and therefore the losses in the fiber. However, if

the fiber is bent with a radius of curvature smaller than a certain value, the propagating

signal may suffer significant bending losses. Two optical fibres are joined using either

a connector or a splice. The alignment of the cores of the two fibres is critical in both

the situations, as even the minutes misalignment or gap between the fibres may cause

significant coupling losses.

Procedure:

Set Up:

1. The interfaces used in the experiment should be as:

a) At JP2, A1&B should be shorted

b) At S6, A&B shortd

c) At S26, A&B shorted

S26.

the signal at the function generator or the gain setting throughout the rest the experiment.

fiber by the 3m fiber between LED1 and PD1.

8. Note the peak value of the received signal and designate it as V3 . If is the attenuation in

Aim: Study of FSK modulation and demodulation.

Objective:

1. To familiarisation with frequency shift keying method.

2. To observe the FSK modulator / demodulator output waveform.

Equipments Required: Trainer Kit FT-1506, CRO.

Theory:

FSK is a system of frequency modulation in the nominal unmodulated carrier frequency

corresponds to mark condition and a space is represented by a downward frequency shift. Fig.

Shows the circuit diagram of a FSK modulation and demodulation system. Basically a 555IC is

connected in astable multivibrator mode; generating a clock pulse of frequency determined by the

values of RT and CT this clock signal is given by to a divided by 16 counter(74163) which

generates divided by 2,4,8 and 16 outputs of the input clock signal.

In this system divided by 2 and 8 output are given taken as two-carrier frequency, so these

are given to a FSK modulator constructed by using NAND gates. Divided by 16 output is given to

a decode counter (IC-7490) which generate the modulating data signals, so depending on the level

of the modulating data signal given to the FSK modulator either divided by 2 or divided by 8

frequency output of the IC 74163 and transmitted to the output of the FSK modulator.

In the demodulator section high-Q turned filter is used which is tuned to any frequency

divided by 2 or 8 so the filter passes one frequency and stops the other frequency than we are

using a envelop detector and comparator, its output is equivalent to the modulating data given at

the input of the FSK modulator.

Procedure: 1. Switch on the experimental board.

2. Apply any one data output of the decade counter (IC-7490) to the data input point of FSK

modulator and observe the same signal in one channel of a dual trace oscilloscope.

3. Observe the output of the FSK modulator on the second channel of the CRO.

4. During the demodulation connect the FSK output to the input of the demodulator.

5. Adjust the potentiometer P1 and P2 until we get the demodulated O/P equivalent to the

modulating data signal.

Aim: Measurement of Numerical Aperture of a Fiber using Optical Fiber Trainer Kit.

Equipments Required: ST-2502 WB-Trainer, Numerical aperture Jig.

Theory: Numerical aperture refers to the maximum angle at which the light incident on the fibre

end is totally internally reflected and is transmitted properly along the fibre. It shows the

light collection efficiency of the fiber. Its maximum value may be one. The cone formed

by the rotation of this angle along the axis of the fibre is the cone of acceptance of the

fibre. The light ray should strike the fibre end within its cone of acceptance else it is

refracted out of the fibre.

distance from the launched point & cable be properly selected to ensure that the maximum

amount of optical power is transferred to the cable.

Aim: Study of an optical fiber kit and setting up of an analog/digital link.

Equipment Required: ST2502WB Trainer Kit.

Objective (a): To study an 650nm fiber optic analog link.

Theory:

Fiber optic links can be used for transmission of digital as well as analog signals.

Basically a fiber optics link contains three main elements, a transmitter, an optical

fiber and a receiver. The transmitter module takes the input signal in electrical form

and then transforms it into optical (light) energy containing the same information. The

optical fiber is the medium, which takes the energy to the receiver. At the receiver

light is converted back into electrical form with the same pattern as originally fed to

the transmitter.

Transmitter:

Fiber optic transmitters are typically composed of a buffer driver and optical source. The

buffer provides both an electrical connection and isolation between the transmitter & the

electrical system supplying the data. The driver provides electrical power to optical

source. Finally the optical source converts the electrical current to the light energy with

same pattern. Commonly used optical source are light emitting diodes and a laser beam.

The transmitter section comprises of:

(1) Function Generator.

(2) Frequency Modulator & Pulse width modulator block.

(3) The function generator generates the input signals that are going to be used as

information to transmit through the fiber optic link. The output voltage available is

1KHz sinusoidal signal of adjustable amplitude and fixed amplitude 1KHz square

wave signal. The modulator section accepts the information signal and converts it into

suitable form for transmission through the fiber optic link.

The fiber optic link:

Emitter and detector circuit on board form the fiber optic link. This section provides the light source for the optic fiber and the light detector at the far end of the fiber optic links. The optics plugs into the connector provided in this part of the board. Two separate links are provided.

Page 19: Com Lab Manual

The receiver:

The comparator circuit, low pass filter, phase Locked Loop, AC Amplifier Circuits form receiver on the board. It is able to undo modulation process in order to recover the original information signal. In this experiment the trainer board is used to illustrate one-way communication between digital transmitter and receiver circuits.

Procedure:

1. Connect the power supply to the board.

2. Ensure that all switch faults are off.

3. Make the following connection

a. Connect the F.G 1KHz sine wave output to emitter 1’s input.

b. Connect the Optical Fiber cable between emitter output and detectors input.

c. Detector 1’s output to Amplifier 1 input.

a. To observe multiplexed (TDM) signals

Introduction: The basis of digital modulation system lies on pulse modulation i.e. a particular characteristic of

pulse is varied in accordance with the information signals.

In PCM system the amplitude of the sampled waveform at define time intervals is represented as

a binary code. The pulse code modulation/demodulation comprises of the following steps

Sampling

Quantisation

Encoding

Decoding

Reconstruction filter

Coding allows us a great deal of detection and correction it generally cannot detect or correct all

errors. Detection of errors allows the system to request the retransmission of data, but it doesn’t

solve the problem.

A better solution would be to introduce a method of error detection and correction. Many

different types of codes have been developed and are in use, commonly employed codes are

Parity coding

Hamming coding

Parity Coding:

It is its simplest method of error coding. Parity is a method of encoding such that the number of

one’s in a codeword is either even or odd. If even parity is to be establish a ‘1’ bit is added to

each code word containing odd ‘1’ and a ‘0’ bit is added to each word containing even number of

one’s.

Similarly the parity coding can ensure that the total numbers of one’s in a encoded words is odd.

In such cases it is called as odd parity.

Parity coding is normally only used on transmission systems where the probability of error

occurring is low.

Page 21: Com Lab Manual

Hamming Coding:

Hamming coding recode each word at transmitter in two way new code by stuffing the

word with extra redundant bits. Three bits Hamming code provide single bit error

detection and correction. Therefore only four bits are used for transmitting data, if

Hamming code is selected.

For transmitting data than the format becomes D6, D5, D4, D3, C2, C1, C0

where C2, C1 and C0 are Hamming code bits.

The code on this trainer is generated by adding parity check bit to each group as shown

below

Group1 D6, D5, D4 Parity Bit-C2

Group2 D6, D5, D3 Parity Bit–C1

Group3 D6, D4, D3 Parity Bit-C0

The groups and parity bits forms an even parity check group. If an error occurs in any of

the digits, the parity is lost and can be detected at receiver e.g.

Let us encode binary value D6, D5, D4, D3 of ‘1101’

Group1 D6 D5 D4 C2

1 1 0 0

Group2 D6 D5 D3 C1

1 1 1 1

Group3 D6 D4 D3 C0

1 0 1 0

So, the data word after coding will be

D6 D5 D4 D3 C2 C1 C0

1 1 0 1 0 1 0

At the receiver, the four digits representing a particular quantise value are taken in as three

groups.

The error detection/ Correction logic carries out parity checks on the three groups

Group1 D6 D5 D4 C2

Group2 D6 D5 D3 C1

Group3 D6 D4 D3 C0

If none of them fails, than no errors has occurred in transmission and all bit values are

valid.

Suppose a case, where the following parity check was carried out and the listed groups

failed.

Page 22: Com Lab Manual

Group1 D6 D5 D4 C2

0 1 0 0 Failed

Group2 D6 D5 D3 C1

0 1 1 1 Failed

Group3 D6 D4 D3 C0

0 0 1 1 Passed

If we suppose only a single bit error the passing of group three means that all D6, D4, D3

and C0 are valid.

Table given below gives the location of possible single bit errors.

Aim: Study of PSK Modulation/Demodulation

Objective:

1. To familiarisation with phase shift keying method.

2. To observe the PSK modulator/demodulator output waveform.

Equipment Required: Trainer kit FT-1507, CRO.

Theory:

Modulation is defined as the process by which some characteristics of a carrier is varied in

accordance with a modulating signal. In digital modulating wave consist of binary data or

an M-ary encoded version of it with a sinusoidal carrier, the feature i.e used by modulator

to distinguish one signal from another is a step change in amplitude, frequency or the

phase of the carrier.The result of this modulation process is amplitude shift keying(ASK),

frequency shift keying(FSK) or phase shift keying(PSK), respectively. Ideally, PSK and

FSK signals have a constant envelop. In PSK the carrier may be phase shifted by +ive90°

for a mark, and by –ive90° for a space.

(Fig-1) shows the circuit diagram of PSK modulator and demodulator. IC-8038 is abasic

waveform generator, which generates Sine, Triangle and Square waveforms. Sine wave

generated is used as carrier signal to the system. Square wave is used as clock input to a

decade counter (IC-7490), which generate modulating data output. IC-CD4051 is a

multiplexer to which carrier is applied with and without phase shift. Modulating data input

is applied to its control input. The 180° phase shift to the carrier is created by an

operational amplifier (IC-741). During the demodulation the PSK signal is converted into

square wave signal and is applied to one input of an EX-OR gate, on second input of gate

carrier signal is applied, so the EX-OR gate output is equivalent to the modulating data

signal.

Procedure:

1. Switch ON the experimental board.

2. Apply the carrier signal to the input of the modulator.

3. Apply the modulating data signal to the modulator input and observe the signal on

channel-1 of CRO.

Aim: Sampling and reconstruction of an analog signal.

Objectives: a. Study of sampling and reconstruction.b. To verify the Nyquist rate and see the Aliasing effect.c. To observe the effect of duty cycle on the reconstruction waveform in Sample and

Hold output.

Equipment required: Trainer kit ST2101, CRO, Function Generator

Introduction: The signal, which contains the information to be transmitted, is known as information signal. Our aim is to reproduce this information signal as accurately as possible at the receiving end of the communication system. Sampling can be defined as measuring the value of an information signal at predetermined time instants. The rate at which the signal is sampled is known as the sampling rate or sampling frequency. If the signal is sampled quite frequently (The limit being specified by Nyquist rate), then it can be reproduced exactly at the receiver with no distortion.

Procedure:

1. Set that the ‘Ext.int’ sampling selector switch in ‘internal’ position.

2. Put the duty cycle selector switch in position 5. This gives a duty cycle of 0.5.

3. Link 1 kHz sinewave output to analog input.

4. Turn on the Trainer (Power ON).

5. Select 32 kHz sampling rate.

6. Display 1 kHz sinewave (t.p.12) and sample output (t.p.37) on CRO. The display shows 1 kHz sinewave being sampled at 32 kHz, so that there are 32 samples for every cycle of the sinewave (Fig.1).

7. Link the sample output to fourth order low pass filter. Display sample output (t.p.37) and the output of filter (t.p.46) on the CRO. The display shows the reconstructed original 1 kHz sinewave (fig.2). Repeat with the filters of 2nd order and observe the difference.

8. By successively pressing of frequency selector switch, change the sampling frequency to 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz, 16 kHz and back to 32 kHz (Sampling frequency is 10% of the frequency indicated by the illuminated LED).

9. Observe how sampled output changes in each case and how the lower sampling frequencies introduce distortion in the reconstructed output.

10. So far, we have used sampling frequencies greater than twice the maximum input frequency. To study Nyquist criteria, set sampling rate of 8 kHz, 50% duty cycle.

11. Remove the link from 1 kHz sinewave output to the signal input.

Page 33: Com Lab Manual

12. Obtain a 2 Volt peak, 2 kHz sinewave from 50 output of the function generator to signal input.

13. Observe the waveform at signal input and fourth order LPF filter (t.p.46).

14. Decrease the sampling rate to 32 kHz and then to 2 kHz. Observe the distorted waveform at the filter output (t.p.46). This is due to the fact that we under sampled the input waveform overlooking the Nyquist criteria and thus the output was distorted even though the signal lie below the cut off frequency of the filter. This also describes the phenomenon of Aliasing.

15. To see the effect on reconstructed waveform of the use of sample/hold circuitry and effect of sampling pulse duty cycle on the reconstructed waveform in sample and sample/hold output. Process is as given below.

a. Follow steps 1-5 as described above.b. Observe the sample output (t.p.37) and the fourth order LPF filter output (t.p.46). c. Vary the position of duty cycle selector switch from 0% to 90%, observe how the

sample output changes and how the amplitude of filter output changes.d. Disconnect the sample output from filter input.e. Link sample and hold output to fourth order low pass filter input. Set the duty

cycle selector switch to position 5 (fig.3).f. Observe the waveform at sampled and hold output (t.p.39) on CRO. Vary the

sampling frequency to illustrate how each sample is held at the sample/ hold output.

Aim: -\ Study of TDM Pulse Amplitude Modulation/Demodulation

Objective: 1. To observe individual PAM signals.2. To observe multiplexed (TDM) signals.3. To study sync and control signals.4. To observe synchronisation requirement in time division multiplexing

Equipment Required: Trainer kit ST2102, CRO 30MHz

Circuit Diagram:

Procedure: The circuit, which ensures precisely timed action, is the clock circuit for receiver clock

must match with the transmitter clock. Besides clock signal, the receiver also requires

information from the transmitter to identify one timeslot per frame. It is accomplished

by frame synchronisation signal. These two signals namely the clock signal and frame

synchronisation signal may be transmitted by the transmitter along with the

information signal.

The most vital requirement of a time division multiplexed system is synchronization. We can use three different modes of these information transfers.

Clock signal and frame synchronisation signal should be transmitted by the transmitter along with the information signal. The receive clock must match with the transmitter clock, the receiver also required an information from the transmitter to identify one time slot per frame and so as to pass the time slot to correct output channel. This ensured by frame synchronisation signal.

Mode1: Three links between transmitter and receiver (Fig.1)

In this mode a separate transmission media are used to carry the information signal the

clock signal and the frame synchronisation signal.

Mode2: Two links between transmitter and receiver (Fig.2)

The number of links between transmitter and receiver can be reduced to two, by extracting

the clock information from the frame synchronisation signal.

Mode3: One link between transmitter and receiver (Fig.3)

The number of links connecting transmitter and receiver can be reduced to one the

reduction in number of links is achieved by using one time slot to transmit synchronisation

signal along with the information samples.

The word ‘Link’ refers to one set of dedicated connections.

Page 36: Com Lab Manual

Synchronisation signal must be different from the information samples for the receiver to

distinguish it from the other samples. The distinction is achieved by fixing the amplitude

of the synchronisation level samples considerably greater than maximum information

signal amplitude. We are using de-multiplexer to be able to distinguish the

synchronisation signal from the information samples.

1. Set the duty cycle control switch in position 5.

2. Turn the all potentiometers in function generator block viz., synk level, 250 Hz, 1KHz, 2

KHz fully clockwise.

3. Turn the potentiometer mark comparator threshold level in phase locked loop timing logic

block fully clockwise.

4. Ensure that the delay control port in receiver timing logic block is fully anticlockwise.

5. Make following connections

a. 250Hz to CH.0 input socket of Transmitter block

b. 500Hz to CH.1 input socket of Transmitter block

c. 1KHz to CH.2 input socket of transmitter block

d. 2KHz to CH.3 input socket of Transmitter block

6. Turn on the power to the Trainer; The Transmitter circuit samples all channels at different

time intervals. Time division multiplexed samples appear at the Tx. Out (t.p.20).

7. Make the following connections

a. Tx. Output to Rx. Input

b. Tx. Clock to Rx. Clock

c. Tx. CH.0 to Rx. CH.0

8. This ensures Mode1 operation of the ST2102 trainer (See Diagram 1 for interconnections)

Tx. Clock signal is used by the receiver to synchronise it’s activity & TX.CH0 signal is

used by the receiver to know which sample belongs to channel 0.

9. With the help of oscilloscope, observe the Tx. Output signal (t.p.20) & the Receiver”s

CH.0 Low Pass Filter input (t.p.41). The Oscilloscope displays the extracted sample

corresponding to channel 0 from the time division multiplexed sample.

10. Display the Receiver’s Low Pass Filter’s input (t.p.41) & output (t.p.42) simultaneously

on the oscilloscope. The signal at t.p. 42 shows the reconstructed ~ 250 Hz. sine wave

which was transmitted at CH.0. Similarly view the outputs of all Receiver Low Pass

Filters in turn (t.p.44, 46,48). Observe that each of the original sine wave have been

correctly reconstructed.

11. The three links required between Transmitter & Receiver in Mode 1 of operation can be

reduced to two in Mode2. To configure the trainer in Mode 2 of operation, discount

TX.CH.0 & RX.CH.0 link & make following new links.

Page 37: Com Lab Manual

a. Tx. CH.0 to PLL I/P

b. SYNC to RX.CH.0

c. PLL O/P to Rx clock

Also ensure that level of toggle switch in Phase Locked Loop Timing

Logic is in upward position. The configuration is given in Diagram 2.

12. The Phase Locked Loop locks onto the Tx.CH.0 signal & produces two outputs.

a. SYNC. This serves the same purpose as TX.CH.0 RX.CH.0 link i.e. it tells the

Receiver which of the transmitted signal belongs to channel 0.

b. CLK It is used to clock the receiver.

These signals can be examined on t.p. 28 & 26 respectively.

13. Observe the Receiver’s CH.0, CH.1, CH.2, CH.3 output on the oscilloscope (t.p.42, 44,

46, 48). Notice that the wave shapes are still preserved in Mode2.

14. The number of links can be further reduced to one in Mode3. In this operational mode, the

sync pulse are transmitted along with the other samples in channel ‘0’ time slot i.e.

channel ‘0’ is dedicated to carry sync pulses.

To configure the trainer in Mode3 of operation, remove following links.

a. ~250 Hz. To transmitter’s CH.0 Input.

b. TX.CH.0 to PLL I/P socket.

Now establish the following connections,

a. SYNC Level in Function Generator Block to Transmitter’s CH.0 Input.

b. Ensure that the toggle switch lever in Phase Locked Loop Timing Logic Block

is in Upward Position.

The configuration is as shown in Diagram 3.

15. Display Tx. Output & Transmitter’s CH.1 input (t.p.13) on the oscilloscope.

16. Sync Level Pot should be to fully clockwise position.

These sync pulses are fed to the voltage comparator, which extracts the sync pulses. The

threshold level of the comparator has been set such that it can easily distinguish between sync

pulses & the other samples. These pulses are fed to the Phase Locked Loop Circuitry, which

locks on to the sync pulse, and generates sync clock signal as in Mode 2.

17. Observe the Receiver’s CH.1, CH.2 & CH.3 Outputs (t.p. 44, 46, 48) on oscilloscope.

Notice that the waveshapes still preserved in Mode3. Receiver CH.0 output (t.p.42) is a D.C.

Aim: Harmonic analysis of a given signal using Spectrum Analyzer.

Objective: 1. To understand the working of spectrum analyser.2. To measure frequency and level of a given unknown signal.3. To measure Harmonics of square wave and Triangular wave.4. To check the frequency response of a low pass filter.5. To check the frequency response of a high pass filter.

Equipments Required: Spectrum analyser, Function Generator and CRO

Introduction:

The spectrum analyzer permits the detection of spectrum components of electrical signals in the frequency range of 0.15 to 1050MHz. In contrast to an oscilloscope where the amplitude is displayed on the time domain, the spectrum analyzer displays amplitude on the frequency domain. The individual spectrum components of a signal become visible on a spectrum analyzer. The oscilloscope would display the same signal as one resulting waveform.The HM5014 includes a tracking generator. This generator provides sine wave within the frequency range of 0.15 to 1050MHz. Spectrum analyzer and tracking generator are synchronized.

Controls (Fig.1)

(1) Power: After about 10 second the noise level will appear on the bottom base line.

(2) INTENS: Beam intensity adjustment.(3) FOCUS: Beam sharpness adjustment.(4) A/B/A-B:

The instrument has two memories, memory A and memory B. Actual measurement results are always stored in A, whereby memory B can only accept copies of memory A results, Function A-B allows for the subtraction of B results from updated measuring results stored in A.

(5) AB:Allows for temporary storage of settings from memory A to memory B for comparison purposes. Push short to store the actual contents of A in B. the instrument will automatically display stored B memory. To get back to the actual signal, push, ‘A/B/A-B’ two times. If pushed one time, AB will be displayed. Memory contents of B will be deleted when power is turned off.

(6) AVERAGE:This function allows the automatic storage of average signal level readings of

the instruments. Using the AVERAGE function the displayed noise band can be reduced. Pushing the AVERAGE button for a short time activates the AVERAGE function. The respective LED will light to show function is activated.

(7) CENTER FREQUENCY:

Page 40: Com Lab Manual

By pushing CENTER FREQ. Button, input for center frequency is being enabled and respective LED is lit. Now Center Frequency can be adjusted via tuning knob (14). The frequency is displayed in the upper left-hand corner behind the letter ‘C’.

(8) FINE:If the FINE button is pushed (LED is lit), a Marker movement is performed in

very small steps.

(9) MARKER:In order to evaluate measurement curves, the instrument is equipped with a

running Marker (X). The Marker can be moved in X-orientation via the tuning dial and follows the measurement curve in Y-orientation. The Marker is activated (LED lit) by pushing MARKER button . The numeric indication of marker frequency and amplitude is displayed on-screen. Push CENTER to leave MARKER mode.

(10) Tuning Dial:The tuning dial either selects Center Frequency or Marker position, depending

on CENTER FREQUENCY or MARKER being activated.

(11) SPAN:The span of sweep of the analyzer is set via the two SPAN buttons. The SPAN

is displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and is marked with the letter ‘S’. At full SPAN (1000MHz) the frequency axis is scaled in 100MHz step per (vertical) graticule line. The frequency reduces accordingly when moving towards the left screen edge.

(12) ZERO SPAN:With the ZERO SPAN button a SPAN of 0 Hz is being selected. Pushing the

ZERO SPAN button activates the ZERO SPAN mode. Press again to revert to previous span.Select the precise Center Frequency and the SPAN as low as possible (resolution of display) so the signal can be viewed easily. 5dB/Div.

Py pushing the 5 dB/Div. Button, the vertical scale is set to 5 dB/Div. The respective LED will then be lit. To enter again in 10 dB/Div. Mode, push 5 dB/Div. again.

(13) RBW (Resolution Bandwidth):The instrument is equipped with resolution filters of 9KHz, 120KHz, and

400KHz, which can be selected via the ‘RBW’ buttons. The respective LED will indicate which resolution bandwidth is selected.

(14) VBW-Video Filter:

The Video Filter has the purpose of reducing video and noise bandwidth and therefore reducing noise distribution. When measuring low-level values, which are situated within the regular noise level, the Video Filter (low pass) can be used to reduce the noise level. This allows for the detection of even small signals, which might otherwise not be visible.

(15) ATTN:

Page 41: Com Lab Manual

The buttons to set the input attenuation are marked ATTN. By pushing the UP and DOWN buttons, the attenuation can be set from 0 db to 40 dB in 10 dB steps. To enter 0 dB attenuation, it is necessary to push button long, this is for protection of the input stage, and so that this setting can’t be set accidentally.

(16) REFERENCEWith rotary knob REFERENCE the so-called reference level is set, to this level

all amplitude readings on screen are referenced. The reference level is always at the topmost horizontal graticule line. Depending also on attenuator setting, the reference level may be set between –99.8 dBm and +13 dBm.

(17) INPUT:

Without attenuation of input signal the maximum allowable input voltage is +- 25V DC or +10dBm AC respectively. With a maximum attenuation of the input signal (40dB) +20dBm is allowed. These values should not be exceeded; otherwise the input stages will be damaged.

(18) ATTN. The Track Generator output attenuator HM5014 has 5 positions, which can be

chosen via the UP/DOWN – buttons. The output attenuator is used for reducing the output level of the Tracking Generator.

(19) LEVELWith the LEVEL knob the output level of the Tracking generator can be varied

in steps of 0.2dB. The output level is shown in the readout, also dependent on the attenuator setting.

(20) Tracking Generator After switching on the instrument, the Tracking generator will be inactive. This

is a security measure to protect any loads connected. In the readout this is shown by the ‘t’. By pushing TRACK GEN. The Tracking Generator is activated. Now a ‘T’ will appear in the readout, and one of the attenuator LED’s (26) will be lit. By again pushing TRACK GEN., the Tracking Generator is deactivated.

(21) Output

50 output of Tracking Generators. The output level is set using the rotary knob LEVEL (27) and the attenuator buttons (26).

If the noise band moves upward on screen when decreasing input attenuation, this indicates a possible other high-amplitude input signal present but not visible in the chosen frequency range. If no signal is visible, the attenuation can be consecutively decreased.Measuring in full-span mode serves mostly as a quick overview. To analyze the detected signals more closely, the span has to be decreased. Previous to this, the center frequency has to be set so the signal is at center of screen. Then span can be reduced.

Then the resolution bandwidth can be decreased, and the video filter used if necessary. The warning ‘uncal’ in the readout must not be displayed; otherwise measurement results may be incorrect.

Page 42: Com Lab Manual

Obtaining values:For a numerical value of a measurement result the easiest way is the use of the marker. The rotary dial, if necessary sets the marker frequency, uses the fine step mode. Then, read the value for the amplitude, which is shown in the readout. If a value is to be measured without using the marker, then measure the difference of the reference line to the signal. Observe that the scale may be either 5 dB/Div. in the reference level value the setting of the input attenuation is already included; it is not necessary to make a correction afterwards.

The signal shown in the picture shows an amplitude difference of about – 16dB to the reference line. Assuming that the reference level is –27 dBm, and the scale 10 dB/Div.Thus the signal has an amplitude of (-27 dBm) + (-16 dB) = -43dBm. In this value the setting of the input attenuator is already included.

Calculation Of Level Of Signal In Spectrum Analyzer

1. All levels are in RMS reading

2. The display has 8 * 10 divisions on graticule.

3. The top line has a level of –27 dBm or 10 mV (reference)

4. Each division of graticule (vertical) is 10 dBm.

EXAMPLE (Fig.2)1. Say signal is 2 divisions down from the top line. This means 20 dBm down with

reference.2. Suppose you have pushed 2 switches (attenuator 10 dB each) of spectrum analyzer.

Now add to the reference the following

Reference level – display level + attenuator level = - 27 dBm (-27 dB) (20 dB) (20 dB) =10 mV rms.

ABOUT TELEPHONE ELECTRONICS: -

The public switched telephone network is one of the true marvels of the modern word. It

provides the ability to interconnect any two out of more than one hundred million telephones,

usually with in a few seconds of the request for connection. It is controlled by the world’s largest

network of interconnected and co-operating computers. Yet the telephones in this network are

usable by unskilled operators without formal training. (Almost any child of four or five can make

a telephone call).

Let us understand the basics of telephone system

THE TELEPHONE SET: -

Telephone sets like those used to originate and received telephone calls. It is simple in appearance and operation yet it performs a surprising number of functions. The most important one is:(1) It requests the use of the telephone systems when the handset is lifted.(2) It indicates that the system is ready for use by receiving a tone, called the dial tone. (3) It sends the number of the called telephone to the system. This number is initiated by the caller when the number is pressed or the dial is rotated. (4) It indicates the stage of the call in progress by receiving tones indicating the status (ringing, busy etc.).(5) It indicates the incoming call of the called telephone by ringing bells or other audible tones.(6) It changes speech of a calling party to electrical signal for transmission to distant party through the system. It changes electrical signals received from the distant party to speech for the called party.

Caller Phone

CalledPhone

Page 48: Com Lab Manual

(7) It automatically adjusts for change in the power supplied to it.(8) It signals the system that a call is finished when a caller “hangs up” the handset.

Of course, for a telephone to be of any use, it must be connected to another telephone. In the very early days of telephony, the phone was simply wired together with no switching. As the number of phones increased this became impractical, so the local exchange or central office was established to handle the switching and other functions.

THE LOCAL LOOP:

Each subscriber telephone is connected to a central office that contains switching

equipment, signaling equipment, and batteries that supply direct current to operate the telephone.

Each phone is connected to the central office through a local loop of two wire pair. One of the

wires is called T (for tip) and the other is called R (for ring) that refers to the tip and ring parts of

the plug used in the early manual switchboards.

Switches in the central office respond to the dial pulses or tones from the telephone to connect the calling phone to the called phone. When the connection is established, the two telephones communicate over transformer-coupled loop using the current supplied by the central office batteries.

INITIATING A CALL:

When the handset of the telephone is resting in its cradle, the weight of the handset holds the switch hook buttons down and the switches are open. This is called the on-hook condition. The circuit between the telephone handset and the central office is open; however, the ringer circuit in the telephone is always connected to the central office is open; however, the ringer circuit in the telephone is always connected to the central office as shown. The capacitor, C, blocks the flow of DC from the battery but passes the AC ringing signal. (The ringer circuit presents high impedance to speech signals so it has no effect on them).

When the handset is removed from its cradle, the spring-loaded buttons come up and the switch hook closes. This completes the circuits to the exchange and the current flows in the circuit. This is called off-hook condition. (The on-hook, off-hook, and hang-up terms came from the early days of telephony, when the receiver was separate and hung on the switch hook when not in use as shown. This also explains why many people still refer to the handset of as the receiver).

The off-hook signal tells the exchange that some one wants to make a call. The exchange returns a dial tone to the calling to let the caller know that the exchange is ready to accept a telephone number. (The telephone number also may be referred to as an address).

SENDING A NUMBER:

Some telephone sets send the number by dial pulses while others send it by audio tone.

DIAL PULSING:

Page 49: Com Lab Manual

Telephone sets that use dial pulsing have rotary dial, which opens and closes the local

loop circuit at a timed rate. The number of dial pulses resulting from one operation is determined

by how far the dial is rotated before releasing it.

Although all network facilities are currently compatible with pulse dialing telephones with

today’s standard embraces the tone method of dialing.

DUAL TONE MULTIFREQUENCY (DTMF):

Most modern telephone sets employ the newer method of using audio tones to send the

telephone number. These can be used only if the central office is equipped to process the tones.

Instead of a rotary dial, these telephones set a push button keypad with twelve keys for the

number 0 through 9 and the symbols (asterisk) and # (Pound sign).

Pressing one the keys causes an electronic circuit in the keypad to generate two output

tones that represent the number.

CONNECTING THE PHONES:

The central office has various switches and relays that automatically connects the calling

and called phones. For now, that the connection has been made.

If the called phone handset is off-hook when the connection is attempted, a busy tones

generated by the central office is returned to the calling phone. Otherwise, a ringing signal is sent

to the called phone to alert the called party that a call is waiting. At the same time, a ring back

tone is returned to the calling phone to indicate that the called phone ringing.

RINGING THE CALLED PHONE:

Early telephone circuits were point-to-point (not switched), and the caller gained the

attention of the party at the other end by picking up the transmitter and shouting

“Hello” or “Ahoy”. This was not very satisfactory, and schemes based on the mechanical

signaling arrangements were soon invented. The one common use today, called the “polarized

ringer”, or bell, was patented in 1878 by Thomas A. Watson

(Mr. Bell’s assistant). Electronic ringing circuits are quickly replacing polarized ringer in

new telephone designs.

ANSWERRING THE CALL:

Page 50: Com Lab Manual

When the called party removes the handset in response to a ring, the loop to that phone is

completed by its closed switch hook and loop current flows through the called telephone. The

central office then removes the ringing signal and the ring back tone from the circuit.

TALKING:

The part of the telephone in to which a person talks is called the transmitter. It converts

speech (acoustical energy) in to variations in an electric current (electrical energy) by varying or

modulating the loop current in accordance with the speech of the talker.

The part of the telephone that converts the electric current variations in to sound that a

person can hear is called the receiver. The signal produced by the transmitter is carried by the

loop current variations to the receiver of the called party. Also, a small amount of the transmitter

signal is fed back in to the talker’s receiver. This is called the side tone.

BEYOND THE LOCAL LOOP:

Thus far, the discussion of connecting two telephones together has been limited to local

loops and a central office exchange. Most central office exchange can handle up to 10,000 phones

in different cities, different states, or countries? Over the years, a complex network of many

telephone exchanges has been established to accomplish these requirements.

b. Basic features of EPABX

(1) Access to Trunk Line (0) (Line hunting):

Extensions may be programmed to have or all trunk lines by dialing 0.Extensions can also

be denied this access.

(2) Access to Reserved line (9):

One or two lines may be kept reserved for certain extensions. Extension can access this

line by dialing 9.

(3) Extension to Extension Call (Ex):

When one extension user wish to talk to another, the user has to proceed as follows:

Lift hand set and hear dial tone and dial Extns. No.(30, 31,32,33), Wait for the internal

ring tone. Speak when called party answers.

Note: in case the called Extension is busy, use the call back facility explained in point 7.

(4) Re-Dial (*):

Any extension user can repeatedly dial the last no. (whether internal or external) without

passing all the numbers again. For this follow the procedure given below.

Disconnect previous call, lift handset and hear dial tone, Dial ‘*” key. The last dialed

number will be redialed automatically.

(5) Barge in (# Ex):

If an extension is found busy, this feature allows the caller to interrupt the conversation of

the busy extension. The feature can be used with a warning tone or without a warning tone. To

use this feature operate as follows:-

Page 52: Com Lab Manual

Lift hand set, dial extension No. and on hearing a busy tone, disconnect. Lift hand set and

hear dial tone, then Dial # Extension No., wait for second (If the feature is with a warning tone

you will hear the same and if without a warning tone you will not.), Interrupt conversation.

(6) Automatic Call Back on Busy Extension (# 13):

If the called extension is busy, this feature automatically connects, as soon as the called

extension gets free. On hearing a busy tone wait for a few seconds for the dial tone to return then

Dial # 13 and hang up. As soon as the called extension gets free, your extension will ring. Lift

hand set, you will hear an internal ring tone, wait for the called party to answer.

(7) Automatic Call Back on Busy Trunk Line (# 13):

If all/any CO. Jn. Lines are/is busy, this feature inform the user as soon as the CO. Jn.

(Trunk Line) Gets free. If a user gets a busy tone after attempting to seize any CO.Jn. Line, wait

for a few seconds for the dial tone to return and then operate as follows.

Dial (# 13) and hang up. Wait for the extension to ring, lift hand set and hear dial tine, dial

0 or access code for CO.Jn. Line.

(8) Do not Disturb (# 14) :

If an extension user does not wish to called, this allows the extension to prevent itself

from being called. However, the extension user can call others. Lift set and obtain dial tone. Dial

# 14 and hang on. To cancel this feature, Lift hand set and obtain dial tone. Dial # 0.

(9) Extension Privacy (#15):

The feature protects an extension user from being interrupted by any other extension

during a conversation. Lift hand set and hear dial tone, Dial # 15 hang up. To cancel this feature,

Lift hand set, hear dial tone and dial #0.

(10). Call Pick-up (8 or # 8 Ex. No.):

If another extension is ringing, this feature allows the user to receive that call at his own

extension with out physically moving to the ringing extension. Lift hand of your extension and

hear the dial tone. If the user extension no. is from a different pick up group dial # 8 followed by

the extension no. which is ringing.

If from the same group, then just dial 8 and talk to the caller.

(11). Follow Me (#16 Ex.):

Incoming calls can be made to follow the extension user. In other words, the extension to

receive incoming calls directed at his original extension. Lift hand set where user wants to receive

calls, hear dial tone. Dial # 16 AB. (AB is the no. of original extension being used). All calls for

Page 53: Com Lab Manual

AB will now ring at the extension from where the above code has been dialed. To cancel this

feature, dial # 17AB.\

Note: After using the follow me feature care must be taken to cancel the feature otherwise

all calls will be diverted to the extension, till the feature is cancelled.

(12). Call Transfer (HF EX.):

Any internal or external call received/originated at any extension can be

transferred from that extension to any other extension. Hook Flash and heat feature mode tone.

Dial the extension No. to which you want to transfer the call. Wait for the internal ring tone. If

called extension is busy then use feature No. 8. The held party will hear music while on hold.

(13). Conference (HF Extn.1 or TN 1 + HF EXT2 or TN 2):

If while conversing with an outside line or an extension you want to arrange for a third or

even a fourth party to conference, you may do it the following way. While conversing with party

A use the hook flash, party A goes on hold. Listen to the dial tone and dial the extension number

of party B. Speak to party B and hook flash to conference between yourself, party A and party B.

Repeat the procedure to extend the conference to party C in the same manner. A maximum of 4

people can conference at any point of time.

Block Diagram

Page 54: Com Lab Manual

THEORY:

The Telephone system as it presently exists to a discussion of how it is changing and

improving as electronic devices, usually in the form of integrated circuits, replace mechanical and

conventional electrical devices. These Devices have most of the required components on the chip

with connections provided for outboard components such as resistors and capacitors, which are

used to “program” the chip. The emphasis is on the circuits that provided two-way speech in the

telephone set.

THE SPEECH CIRCUIT:

A simplified block diagram of a speech circuits suitable for implementation as an

integrated circuit is shown in built in transmit, receive , and side tone circuits, as well as a DC

loop interface regulator, and equalizer circuit. It is connected to the telephone line by a

conventional rectifier bridge. The bridge is dynamically equivalent to a small resistant in series

with the signal path, and a high resistance in parallel to it. External components are used to adjust

transmits, receive and side tone gains and frequency responses.

The DC line interface controls the voltage and current characteristics of the entire speech

network depending upon the value of loop current in the subscriber line. Regulator circuitry sets

the operating voltage in the integrated circuit and biases the speech circuits.

PROCEDURE:

(1) Pick up hand set of extension 30 and dial 31. You can hear ring at extension 31.

(2) Pick up hand set at extension 31 as you pick up hand set loop between two extension is

completed and speech path is established.

Page 55: Com Lab Manual

(3) Observe the wave form on C.R.O. at TP14 for extension 30 and at TP 15 for extension 31.

You can observe ring signal at TP15 during ringing and after pick up you can observe voice

signal (Voice Frequency) at test points.

e. Study of tone generation.

Theory:

Various tones are used for both control and status indication. The tones may be single

frequency or combinations of frequencies. These are analog signals that are either continuous

tones or tone bursts (tones turned on and off at various rates). The call progress tones are sent by

the exchange to the calling phone to inform the caller about the status of the call e,g, Dial tone is a

continuous tone made by combining the frequencies of 350Hz and 440Hz. The busy signal that

tells the caller that the called appears in bursts of 0.5 second on time separated by an off time of

0.5 second. All of these tones are in band signaling. Tone signaling between exchanges may be

in-band or out-of-band.

PROCEDURE AND OBERVATION:

(1) Exchange dial tone: Lift the hand set of extension 30 and hear the dial tone is a

continuous sound which lasts for 8seconds during which exchange waits for dialing to be initiated

this signal is as shown in figure and can be observed at TP18. If no dialing takes place during this

period the EPABX times the user out and starts issuing a busy tone.

(2) P and Dial tone: On accessing a direct line by dialing ‘0’ , you will obtain the normal

P and T dial tone.( DOT line must be connected at COI and COII). This signal can be observed at

TP9.

(3) Busy Tone: Lift the hand-set of extn.31 and keep it aside. Then lift the hand-set of

extn.30 and dial the no.31 you will hear a busy tone which is a discontinuous sound(Du------Du).

There are two types of busy tones one is a high speed busy tone which consists of equal duration

ON and OFF signals. This tone indicates that the system is too busy. This tone consist of double

duration ON and single duration OFF.

(4) Internal Ring Back Tone: Lift the handset of extn.30 and dial any extn. Number like

31, 32 you will hear ring back tone that can be observed at TP14 for extn. E0. This is a

discontinuous sound of two frequencies sounds for one second with a tw9o second silence

interval. You will hear this tone till thee extension answers. This waveform is as shown in figure.

(5) Ringing Tone: Two types of tings can be heard from the telephone instrument

connected to the system. When your instrument is called by another internal instrument the ring

Page 57: Com Lab Manual

will be continuous one with a one second ON and two second OFF waveform of ring signal is as

shown in figure. A from a CO jn. Line will ring like a normal telephone.

Equipment Required: Trainer Kit ST-2266 and CRO

Introduction: Transmission lines are means of conveying signals or power from one point to another.

One of the simplest forms of the transmission line is the open wire line or the twisted pair. Since

the two conductors of this type of line have same relationship with respect to ground. It is

BALANCED LINE but this type of line has very poor shielding properties and has a tendency to

radiate.

Another co-axial line consists of a central conductor and an outer conductor with the outer

conductor referred to as shield normally grounded. Due to shielding, co-axial line have extremely

low radiation loss. Since each conductor has certain length and diameter, it must have resistance

and inductance, since there are two wires close to each other, there must be capacitance between

them. Finally the wires are separated by a medium called the dielectric, which cannot be prefect

in its insulation, the current leakage through it can be represented by a shunt conductance.

The ohmic resistance R & conductance G are responsible for energy disputation in the form of

heat. The losses, which determines the attenuation characteristic are expressed in terms of

attenuation “a” and can be calculated by

a= 20Log(V2/V1)

Where V1= amplitude of signal at i/p

V2= amplitude of signal at o/p

a= attenuation for given length.

Here total effective resistance of line is 68, for optimum power transfer we should have the

source resistance and terminating resistance also as 68. Assuming generator resistance Rg as

50.

We must connect 18 Ri in series with the generator to match the line.

Procedure:

A. Measuring the Attenuation of a transmission line

1. Adjust Ri and RL for 18 and 68 respectively with the help of DMM.

2. Make the connections as shown in dig. 2.

3. Set the sine-wave frequency to approx. 100KHz and level to 0.4V.

4. Oscilloscope CH1 shows applied input CH2 shows outputs.

5. Measure signal level at Input and at 25, 50 75 and 100m length.

6. Tabulate as under:

Length (m) V1 (input) V2 (output)

25

50

75

100

7. Now calculate the attenuation in its at various length by for formulae given below

a=20Log(V2/V1)

B. Measuring the input impedance a line8. Repeat step 1

9. Make a connection as shown in dig. 3

10. A 1 resistance in series between the generator & the transmission line as shown

in fig.6 allows to measure the value of i/p current.

11. Set the i/p at 0.4VPP and frequency 100KHz of sine-wave (both measurement on

CRO)

12. Take readings of Vin & Vm (across 1) on oscilloscope

13. Calculate the i/p impedance according to the following formula:

Zi=Vin/I =Vin/Vm* 1
