1.1Aim: To design and demonstrate the working of TDM and Recovery of two band limited
signals.
1.3 Theory: Multiplexing is a method by which multiple analog message signals or digital
data streams are combined into one signal over a shared medium. The aim is to share an
expensive communication channel resource. The multiplexed signal is transmitted over a
communication channel, which may be a physical transmission medium. The multiplexing
divides the capacity of the high-level communication channel into several low-level logical
channels, one for each message signal or data stream to be transferred. A reverse process,
known as de-multiplexing, can extract the original channels on the receiver side. A device that
performs the multiplexing is called a multiplexer (MUX), and a device that performs the
reverse process is called a de-multiplexer (DEMUX).
Multiplexing technologies may be divided into several types, all of which have
significant variations: Space-division multiplexing (SDM), Frequency-division multiplexing
(FDM), Time-division multiplexing (TDM), and Code division multiplexing (CDM).
Code division multiplexing (CDM) or spread spectrum is a class of techniques where several
channels simultaneously share the same frequency spectrum, and this spectral bandwidth is
much higher than the bit rate or symbol rate
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a type of digital multiplexing in which two or more
signals are transferred appearing simultaneously as sub-channels in one communication
channel, but are physically taking turns on the channel. The time domain is divided into several
recurrent time slots of fixed length, one for each sub-channel. A sample byte or data block of
Dept. of E&CE 1
Advance Communication Lab (15ECL76) SVCE, Bengaluru
sub-channel 1 is transmitted during time slot 1, sub-channel 2 during time slot 2, etc. One TDM
frame consists of one time slot per sub-channel plus a synchronization channel and sometimes
error correction channel before the synchronization. After the last sub-channel, error
correction, and synchronization, the cycle starts all over again with a new frame, starting with
the second sample, byte or data block from sub-channel 1, 2 and so on.
Here carrier used is a square wave, like in pulse modulation techniques. When the
carrier is on, one of the message signal get sampled and is multiplexed, similarly when the
carrier is off another message signal get sampled and is multiplexed. The amplitude of a
periodic train of pulses is varied in proportion to the message signals. Thus TDM provides an
effective method for sharing a communication channel.

2.1 Aim: Design and study an Amplitude Shift Keying system to transmit the digital data of
500bits/sec, using a suitable carrier signal and demodulate the same.
2.3 Theory: The analog signals are often converted to digital signals by means Pulse Code
Modulation (PCM) before transmission. The transmission of digital signal is more efficient
when compared to the direct transmission of analog signal. These digital source signals are
generally referred to as baseband signals. We can send analog and digital signals directly over
a medium. From electro-magnetic theory, for efficient radiation of electrical energy from an
antenna it must be at least in the order of magnitude of a wavelength in size; c = fλ, where c is
the velocity of light, f is the signal frequency and λ is the wavelength. For a 1kHz audio signal,
the wavelength is 300 km. An antenna of this size is not practical for efficient transmission.
The low-frequency signal is often frequency-translated to a higher frequency range for efficient
transmission. The process is called modulation i.e. the process of changing the characteristics
of a carrier signal in accordance with the modulating message signal. The use of a higher
frequency range reduces antenna size. The modulation techniques are divided into the two
methods Analog Modulation and Digital Modulation Techniques. In case of analog modulation
techniques the base band signal is analog in nature where as in digital the base band message
signal is digital in nature.
Amplitude Shift Keying: The binary ASK system was one of the earliest form of digital
modulation technique used in wireless telegraphy. In binary ASK symbol 1 is represented by
Dept. of E&CE 7
Advance Communication Lab (15ECL76) SVCE, Bengaluru
transmitting a sinusoidal carrier wave of fixed amplitude and frequency for the entire duration
of the bit 1 for Tb seconds and binary 0 is represented by switching off the carrier for Tb seconds.
the context of digital communications is a modulation process, which imparts to a sinusoid two
or more discrete amplitude levels. These are related to the number of levels adopted by the
digital message. This signal can be generated simply by turning carrier of a sinusoidal oscillator
ON and OFF for the prescribed periods indicated by the modulating pulse train. For this reason
it is called as ON-OFF keying. The message signal must be represented in Non return to zero
(NRZ) uni-polar format only. Binary ASK system has the largest probability of bit error when
compared to FSK and PSK systems.
One of the disadvantages of ASK, compared with FSK and PSK, for example, is that it has not
got a constant envelope. This makes its processing (eg, power amplification) more difficult,
since linearity becomes an important factor. However, it does make for ease of demodulation
with an envelope detector.

Yagi-Uda Antenna
3.1 Aim: To measure the Directivity and gain of the Microstrip Yagi-Uda antenna.
3.3 Theory: The Yagi-Uda antenna or Yagi Antenna is one of the most brilliant antenna
designs. It is simple to construct and has a high gain, typically greater than 10 dB. The Yagi-
Uda antennas typically operate in the HF to UHF bands (about 3 MHz to 10 GHz), although
their bandwidth is typically small, on the order of a few percent of the center frequency. The
Yagi antenna was invented in Japan, with results first published in 1926. The work was
originally done by Shintaro Uda, also work was presented for the first time in English by Yagi,
so the antenna is called as Yagi-Uda antenna.
Yagi-Uda antennas consist of arrays of independent antenna elements, with only one of the
element driven to transmit electromagnetic waves. The number of elements determines the gain
& directivity. Yagi antennas are not as directional as parabolic dish antennas, but more
directional than flat panel antennas. The simplest practical antenna is the half wave dipole. In
its original form it consists of two thin straight wires, each λ/4 in lengths, by a small gap. For
this simple antenna, under fairly realistic approximations, closed form expressions are available
for radiated fields, power, directivity etc.
The important feature of Yagi antenna is that it is an end-fire antenna, i.e. the direction of
maximum radiation is tangential to the plane formed by the parallel antenna elements.
The design of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna begins with (a) choice of a substrate, (b)
selecting the feed mechanism, (c) determining patch length L, (d) determining patch width w
and (e) selecting the feed location.

4.1 Aim: To measure the frequency, guide wavelength, VSWR and attenuation in a
Microwave test Bench and to obtain the V-I Characteristics of a GUNN diode oscillator.
4.2 Components Required: Microwave Test Bench, GUNN power Supply, CRO
4.3 Theory: In 1963, J.B. Gunn discovered the bulk TRANFERRED ELECTRON EFFECT
in Gallium Arsenide which is a semiconductor material. Si & Ge are called INDIRECT GAP
semiconductors because the bottom of the conduction band does not lie directly above the top
of the valence band. In GaAs the conduction band lies directly above the top of the valence
band. The lowest energy conduction band in Ga as is called as PRIMARY VALLEY. Gunn
while measuring the current density J as a junction of electric field E in a Gallium Arsenide n-
type specimen discovered that after a threshold field Eth is reached, the current in the specimen
suddenly becomes oscillatory w.r.t. time and these oscillations are in the microwave frequency
range. This effect is called “GUNN EFFECT”.
Gunn diodes are operated in two modes:-
1. The Gunn mode or the transit time mode
2. The LSA mode (or limited space charge accumulation)
The Gunn diode is a bulk device i.e. it does not contain any junction but it is a slice of
n-type GaAs. Hence it is a reversible device and can be operated in both directions. The reflex
klystron makes use of the velocity modulation to transform a continuous electron beam into
microwave power. Electrons emitted from the cathode are accelerated and passed through the
positive resonator towards negative reflector, which retards and finally reflects the electrons
and the electrons turn back through the resonator. Suppose an RF-field exists between the
resonators, the electrons travelling forward will be accelerated or retarded as the voltage at the
resonator changes in amplitude. The accelerated electrons leave the resonator at an increased
velocity and the retarded electrons leave at the reduced velocity. The electrons leaving the
resonator will need different time to return due to change in velocities. As a result the returning
electrons group together in bunches. As the electron bunches pass though the resonator they
Dept. of E&CE 17
Advance Communication Lab (15ECL76) SVCE, Bengaluru
interact with voltage at the resonator grids. If the bunches pass the grid at such a time that the
electrons are slowed down by the voltage then energy will be delivered to the resonator; and
klystron will oscillate.

5.2 Components Required: VCO, Microwave source, Microstrip Ring Resonator, Co-
axial wave guide adapter, dielectric Teflon, Universal test Rig, Active filter, 6dB attenuator,
BNC-BNC cable CRO.
5.3 Theory: The ring resonator is known as a simple printed resonator that is useful for
making approximate measurement of dielectric constant. It is also used in making filters (Band
pass or Band stop) to some extent as an antenna element. Ring resonators can be analysed in
two ways. Looking at a ring resonator in isolation, it may appear that the field would be in the
form of a wave circulating around either direction, but in reality, the coupling structure plays
an important role.
Sections of transmission lines of finite length with their ends terminated in either an
open or a short circuit are used as resonator elements at microwave frequencies. In a microstrip,
an open end is far simpler to realize than a short circuit. Hence in practice, rectangular
resonators with open ends are more commonly employed. Another useful form that can be
conveniently realized in microstrip configuration is the ring resonator. These resonators find
applications in the design of filters, oscillators, mixers etc.

Coupler.
Dept. of E&CE 28
Advance Communication Lab (15ECL76) SVCE, Bengaluru
If the directional coupler is designed to “lightly sample” the input power, the coupled signal
may be either 10 dB or 20 dB relative to the input signal strength. Such directional couplers
are often used to sample (lightly couple) the signal strength of the input signal for application
s like the network analyser
Types of couplers:
Directional couplers: When two transmission lines are close together, because of the
interaction of the electromagnetic fields of each line, power can be coupled between the lines.
Those coupled lines are used to construct directional couplers.
Dept. of E&CE 29
Advance Communication Lab (15ECL76) SVCE, Bengaluru
Parallel line Coupler: A parallel line coupler is created when two transmission lines are
brought close together so that their field lines interact. In looking at the parallel couplers we
will consider micro strip configurations. In microstrip a quasi-TEM wave can be propagate. A
pure TEM wave has a propagation velocity which is independent of the conductor geometry.
A quasi-TEM wave, but the propagation velocity depends upon the conductor geometry.

4. Directivity: Directivity is a measure of how well the coupler isolates two opposite-
travelling (forward and reverse) signals. The higher the directivity specified in dB, the
higher the measurement accuracy. Directivity is not directly measurable, and is
calculated from the isolation and coupling measurements as:
Directivity (dB) = Isolation (dB) - Coupling (dB)

is used for very high bit rates. In PSK, the phase of the carrier is modulated to represent
Binary values. In BPSK, the carrier phase is used to switch The phase between 00 and 11 by
digital polar Format. Hence it is also known as phase reversal keying. The modulated carrier

Divider.
8.2 Components Required: VCO, Microwave source, Microstrip Power Divider, Co-
axial wave guide adapter, Universal test Rig, 6dB attenuator, BNC-BNC cable CRO, and 50
transmission line, matched load termination.
8.3 Theory: Power dividers and Combiners are used at the microwave frequencies. Power
dividers at the microwave frequencies are not just resistive power dividers as in the low
frequency model. The important issues while using power dividers are the specifications or
properties of the dividers. In microwave frequency applications, for example power can be
reflected from the output ports. Then to avoid the reflected power expected power divider
should satisfy the maximum power transfer theory, which says the impedance of the load
should be the complex conjugate of the impedance seen from the load end when load is not
connected. This is called “matching” of the ports. This leads to transferring maximum power
to the load & because of no reflection. Also, again to maximally transfer the power to the output
ports, the network should not dissipate power & this property is called “lossless ness”.
Dept. of E&CE 37

Wilkinson power divider is a lossy 3 port network & it has a property of being lossless when
the output ports are matched. In addition, the isolation between output ports can be achieved in
Wilkinson power divider. Dissipated power in the Wilkinson power divider is from the
reflected power. There are two general types of the Wilkinson power dividers; first one is the
equal power divider & the second one is unequal power divider.
Wilkinson equal power divider: the equal power division concept is dividing input power
to equal or more than two ways equally. The mostly used one is the three port network equal
two way divider. it is also called 3dB power divider.
In this type of dividers, there are four different sections.
1) Input port 2) Quarter –wave transformers 3) isolation resistors 4) output ports
Input & output ports are identical & the value of the impedances of them is Zo. Quarter- wave
transformer parts are called as quarter- wave transformer because of the length of these parts.
The length of these parts is equal to the one fourth of the wavelength of the electromagnetic
wave, which is propagating in this three port network.
Wilkinson Unequal divider: Wilkinson unequal power dividers are used for the unequal
amount power division for the microwave frequencies.

9.1 Aim: To measure the Directivity and gain of the Microstrip Standard Dipole antenna.
9.3 Theory: An Antenna is a device that is made to efficiently radiate & receive radiated
electromagnetic waves. There are several important antenna characteristics that should be
considered when choosing an antenna for any application they are as follows:
Dept. of E&CE 41
Advance Communication Lab (15ECL76) SVCE, Bengaluru
Power gain: The power gain of an antenna is the ratio of the power input to the antenna
to the power output from the antenna. This gain is most often referred to with the units
of dB, which is logarithmic gain relative to an isotropic antenna. An isotropic antenna
has a perfect spherical radiation pattern & a linear gain of one.
Directivity: The directive gain of an antenna is a measure of the concentration of the
radiated power in a particular direction. It is usually a ratio of radiation intensity in a
given direction to the average radiation intensity.
Polarization: Polarization is the orientation of electromagnetic waves far fro the
source. There are several types of polarization that apply to antennas. They are linear,
which comprises, vertical, horizontal & Oblique, & circular , which comprises, circular
right hand (RHCP); Circular Left Hand (LHCP), Elliptical Right Hand & Elliptical Left
Hand. Polarization is most important if you trying to get the maximum performance
from the antennas. For best performance the polarization of the transmitting antenna &
the receiving antenna should match.
The different type of antennas with most relevant designs at 2.4GHz that are detailed as
follows:
Dipole antennas: All dipole antennas have a generalized radiation pattern. First, the
elevation pattern shows that a dipole antenna is best used to transit & receive from the
broad side of the antenna. It is sensitive to any movement away from a perfectly vertical
position. You can move about 45 degrees fro perfect verticality before the performance
of the antenna degrades by more than half. Other dipole antennas may have different
amounts of vertical variation before there is noticeable performance degradation.
Multiple Element Dipole antennas: Multiple Element Dipole antennas have some of
the same general characteristics as the dipole. We see a similar elevation radiation
pattern, as well as a similar azimuth pattern. The biggest differences will be the
directionality of the antenna in the elevation pattern, & the increased gain that is a result
of using multiple elements. By using multiple elements to construct the antenna, the
antenna can be configured with different amounts of gain . This allows for multiple
antenna designs with similar physical characteristics.
Flat panel antennas: these are configured in a patch type format & physically have the
shape of a square or rectangle. Flat panel antennas are quite directional as they have
mostly of their power radiated in one direction in both the vertical & horizontal planes.
Parabolic antenna: parabolic dish antenna also works to catch all the radiated energy
from the antenna & focus it in a narrow beam when transmitting.
Slotted antenna: The slotted antenna exhibits radiation characteristics that are very
similar to those of the dipole. The elevation & azimuth patterns are similar to those of
the dipole, but its physical construction consists only of a narrow slot cut into ground
plane. As with microstrip antenna mentioned below. Slotted antennas provide little
antenna gain, & do not exhibit high directionality, as evidenced by their radiation plots
& their similarity tot the dipoles. Their most attractive feature is the ease with which
they can be constructed & integrated into an existing design, & their low cost.
Microstrip antennas: Microstrip antennas can be made to emulate many of the
different styles of the antennas explained above. Micro strip antennas offer several
tradeoffs that need to be considered. Because they are manufactured with PCB traces
on actual PCB boards, they can be very small& lightweight. This comes at the cost of
not being able to handle as much output power as other antennas & they are made for
very specific frequency ranges. In many cases, limiting the frequencies that can be

10.3 Theory: Optical Fibres are available in different variety of materials. These materials
are usually selected by taking into account their absorption characteristics for different
wavelengths of light. In case of Optical Fibre, since the signal is transmitted in the form of
light, which is completely different in nature to study the losses in fibre.
Losses are introduced in fibre due to various reasons. As light propagates from one end
of fibre to another end part of it is absorbed in the material exhibiting absorption loss. Also part
of the light is reflected back or in some other directions from the impurity particles present in
the material contributing to the loss of the signal at the other end of the fiber. This is called
propagation loss. Losses are also introduced due to refraction of light. This occurs when the
fibre is subjected to bending. Lower the radius of curvature more is the loss. Losses also occur
due to coupling of cables which is termed as coupling loss.
Numerical aperture refers to the maximum angle at a light incident on the fibre end is
totally internally reflected and is transmitted properly along with the fiber. The cone found by
the rotation of this angle along with the axis of the fiber is the cone of acceptance of the fiber.
The light ray should strike the fiber end within its cone of acceptance; else it is reflected out of
the fiber core.

11.1 Aim: Design and study Frequency Shift Keying system to transmit the digital data of
500bits/sec, using a suitable carrier signal and demodulate the same.
11.3 Theory: Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) is the another form of digital modulation
technique in which the amplitude of the modulated signal is kept constant while the frequency
is varied in accordance with binary data ‘1’ and ‘0’. If the incoming bit is ‘1’ a signal with
frequency f1 is sent for the duration of the bit Tb seconds. If the bit is ‘0’ a signal with frequency
f2 is transmitted for the duration of the bit Tb seconds.
In the FSK modulation circuit two transistors are used in switching configuration to
obtain FSK signal. When the input bit is ‘1’, NPN transistor is ON and the corresponding
carrier signal applied at the collector is output. Similarly if the input bit is ‘0’, PNP transistor
is ON and the corresponding carrier is output. These two signals are applied to the summer
circuit adjusted to obtain the suitable gain. In the demodulation the first stage of the detector
consists of Low-pass filter which is designed for the lower carrier frequency. The output of the
low-pass is an ASK signal which is applied to the envelope detector followed by the comparator
circuit.

13.2 Theory: Pulse code modulation is a process of converting a analog signal into digital.
The voice or any data input is first sampled using a sampler (which is a simple switch) and then
quantized. Quantization is the process of converting a given signal amplitude to an equivalent
binary number with fixed number of bits. This quantization can be either mid-tread or mid-
raise and it can be uniform or non-uniform based on the requirements. For example in speech
signals, the higher amplitudes will be less frequent than the low amplitudes. So higher
amplitudes are given less step size than the lower amplitudes and thus quantization is
performed non-uniformly. After quantization the signal is digital and the bits are passed
through a parallel to serial converter and then launched into the channel serially.
At the demodulator the received bits are first converted into parallel frames and each frame is
de-quantized to an equivalent analog value. This analog value is thus equivalent to a sampler
output. This is the demodulated signal. In the kit this is implemented differently. The analog
signal is passed through a ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) and then the digital code word
is passed through a parallel to serial converter block. This is modulated PCM. This is taken by
the Serial to Parallel converter and then through a DAC to get the demodulated signal. The
clock is given to all these blocks for synchronization. The input signal can be either DC or AC
according to the kit. The waveforms can be observed on a CRO for DC without problem. AC
also can be observed but with poor resolution.

12.2 Components Required: DPSK trainer kit with power supply, Patch cords, CRO.
12.3 Theory: In BPSK communication system, the demodulation is made by comparing the
instant phase of the BPSK signal to an absolute reference phase locally generated in the
receiver. The modulation is called in this case BPSK absolute. The greatest difficulty of these
systems lies in the need to keep the phase of the regenerated carrier always constant. This
problem is solved with the PSK differential modulation, as the information is not contained in
the absolute phase of the modulated carrier but in the phase difference between two next
modulation intervals.
In the block the DPSK modulation and demodulation system are shown. The coding is obtained
by comparing the output of an EXOR, delayed of a bit interval, with the current data bits (for
detailed explanation see experiment no.2). As total result of operation, the DPSK signal across
the output of the modulator contains 180 deg. phase variation at each data bit 1. The
demodulation is made by a normal BPSK demodulator, followed by a decision device
supplying a bit 1 each time there is a variation of the logic level across its input.
The DPSK system explained above has a clear advantage over the BPSK system in that the
former avoids the need for complicated circuitry used to generate a local carrier at the receiver.
To see the relative disadvantage of DPSK in comparison with PSK, consider that during some
bit interval the received signal is so contaminated by noise that in a PSK system an error would
be made in the determination of whether the transmitted bit was a 1 or 0. in DPSK a bit
determination is made on the basis of the signal received in two successive bit intervals. Hence
noise in one bit interval may cause errors to two-bit determination. The error rate in DPSK is
therefore greater than in PSK, and, as a matter of fact, there is a tendency for bit errors to occur
in pairs. It is not inevitable however that errors occur in pairs. Single errors are still possible.

13.2 Components Required: QPSK trainer Kit, Connecting cords, Power supply, CRO
13.3 Theory: Similar to binary PSK, in QPSK information carried by the transmitted wave
is contained in the phase. In QPSK, the phase of the carrier takes on one of four equally spaced
values 0, 90,180 and 270. Each possible values of phase correspond to a unique pair of bits
called as “dibit”.
QPSK transmitter:
The input binary sequence is divided by the bit splitter to the in phase and Quadrature phase
channels. The product modulator is realized using a mux, with the select line as the incoming
bit stream. Accordingly, either positive or negative amplitude of the carrier wave is given to
the summer for 1 or 0 respectively. The summer combines in phase and Quadrature phase data.
QPSK receiver:
The receiver consists of a pair of correlators (product modulator and LPF). The correlator
outputs are compared with threshold of zero volts. Finally, these two binary sequences are
combined using bit comparator. The constellation diagram is shown in the figure 13.1
