Theory:
A band limited signal of finite energy has no frequency components higher than ‘W’ Hertz is
completely described by specified the values of the signal of instants of time separated by 1/2W seconds,
where ‘W’ is the higher frequency content. The zero order hold circuit is used for practical reconstruction. It
simply holds the value x (n) for ‘T’ seconds. Here ‘T’ is the sampling period; the output of zero order hold is
stair case signal. The reconstructed signal is the succession of sine pulses weighted by x (nTs) these pulses
are interpolated with the help of a LPF. It is also called reconstruction filter or interpolation filter Natural
sampling is chopper sampling because the waveform of the sampled signal appears to be chopped off from
the original signal waveform. The top of the samples remains constant and equal to instantaneous value of x
(t) at start of sampling fs = 1/Ts

Theory:
Modulation is defined as the process by which some characteristics of a carrier signal is varied in
accordance with a modulating signal. The base band signal is referred to as the modulating signal and the
output of the modulation process is called as the modulation signal. The carrier frequency fc must be much
greater than the highest frequency components fm of the message signal m(t) i.e. fc >>fm The modulation
index must be less than unity. if the modulation index is greater than unity, the carrier wave becomes over
modulated.
The process of detection provides a means of recovering the modulating Signal from modulating
signal. Demodulation is the reverse process of modulation. The detector circuit is employed to separate the
carrier wave and eliminate the side bands. Since the envelope of an AM wave has the same shape as the
message, independent of the carrier frequency and phase, demodulation can be accomplished by extracting
envelope.
The modulating and carrier signal are given by
Vm(t) = Vm sinmt
VC (t) = VC sinCt
Where
Vm = maximum amplitude of modulating signal
VC = maximum amplitude of carrier signal

Theory:
Modulation is the process of varying one or more parameters of a carrier signal in accordance with
the instantaneous values of the message signal. The message signal is the signal which is being transmitted
for communication and the carrier signal is a high frequency signal which has no data, but is used for long
distance transmission. There are many modulation techniques, which are classified according to the type of
modulation employed. Of them all, the digital modulation technique used is Pulse Code Modulation.
A signal is pulse code modulated to convert its analog information into a binary sequence, i.e., 1s and
0s. The output of a PCM will resemble a binary sequence. The following figure shows an example of PCM
output with respect to instantaneous values of a given sine wave.
Instead of a pulse train, PCM produces a series of numbers or digits, and hence this process is called
as digital. Each one of these digits, though in binary code, represents the approximate amplitude of the signal
sample at that instant. In Pulse Code Modulation, the message signal is represented by a sequence of coded
pulses. This message signal is achieved by representing the signal in discrete form in both time and
amplitude.

The noise triangle shows, noise has a greater effect on the higher modulating frequencies than
on the lower ones. Thus, if the higher frequencies were artificially boosted at the transmitter and
correspondingly cut at the receiver, an improvement in noise immunity could be expected, there by
increasing the signal-to-noise ratio. This boosting of the higher modulating frequencies, in
accordance with a prearranged curve, is termed pre-emphasis, and the compensation at the receiver is
called de-emphasis.
Procedure:
Pre-Emphasis:
1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram
2. Apply a sine wave to the input terminals of 2 VP-P (Vi)

the output amplitude (Vo) with respect to the input frequency.

Theory:
Pulse modulation is used to transmit analog information. In this system continuous wave forms are
sampled at regular intervals. Information regarding the signal is transmitted only at the sampling times
together with syncing signals. At the receiving end, the original waveforms may be reconstituted from the
information regarding the samples.
The pulse amplitude modulation is the simplest form of the pulse modulation. PAM is a pulse
modulation system is which the signal is sampled at regular intervals, and each sample is made proportional
to the amplitude of the signal at the instant of sampling. The pulses are then sent by either wire or cables are
used to modulate carrier.
PAM signals are very rarely used for transmission purposes directly. The reason for this lies in the
fact that the modulating information is contained in the amplitude factor of the pulses, which can be easily
distorted during transmission by noise, crosstalk, and other forms of distortion. They are used frequently as
an intermediate step in other pulse modulating methods, especially where time-division multiplexing is used.
Natural PAM:
The amplitude of each pulse is directly proportional to modulating signal amplitude at the time of
pulse occurrence. Then follows the amplitude of the pulse for the rest of the half-cycle.
Result:
Thus the pulse amplitude modulation and demodulation was constructed and performed and graph
also plotted.

The pulse Width Modulation of the PTM is also called as the Pulse Duration Modulation (PDM) &
less often Pulse length Modulation (PLM). In pulse Width Modulation method, we have fixed and starting
time of each pulse, but the width of each pulse is made proportional to the amplitude of the signal at that
instant. This method converts amplitude varying message signal into a square wave with constant amplitude
and frequency, but which changes duty cycle to correspond to the strength of the message signal.

Thus the pulse with modulation and demodulation was constructed and performed and graph also

The pulse position modulation is one of the methods of the pulse time [Link] is generated
by changing the position of a fixed time slot. The amplitude& width of the pulses is kept constant, while the
position of each pulse, in relation to the position of the recurrent reference pulse is valid by each instances
sampled value of the modulating wave. Pulse position modulation into the category of analog
communication. Pulse-Position modulation has the advantage of requiring constant transmitter power output,
but the disadvantage of depending on transmitter receiver synchronization.

Thus the pulse position modulation and demodulation was constructed and performed and graph also

Theory:
Amplitude shift keying (ASK) is the simplest digital modulation technique. In this modulation
method there is only one carrier which is switched ON/OFF depending upon the input binary sequence to
transmit symbol 0 and 1. The binary ASK system was one of the earliest form of digital modulation used in
wireless telegraphy. In an binary ASK system binary symbol 1 is represented by transmitting a sinusoidal
carrier wave of fixed amplitude Ac and fixed frequency fc for the bit duration Tb where as binary symbol 0
is represented by switching of the carrier for Tb seconds. This signal can be generated simply by turning the
carrier of a sinusoidal oscillator ON and OFF for the prescribed periods indicated by the modulating pulse
train. For this reason the scheme is also known as on-off shift testing. The ASK signal can be generated by
applying the incoming binary data and the sinusoidal carrier to the two inputs of a product modulator. The
resulting output is the ASK wave.
Procedure: -
1. Make connections as per block diagram.
2. Set the input and carrier signal.

Theory:
Frequency-shift keying (FSK) is a frequency modulation scheme in which digital information is
transmitted through discrete frequency changes of a carrier wave. The simplest FSK is binary FSK (BFSK).
BFSK uses a pair of discrete frequencies to transmit binary (0s and 1s) information. With this scheme, the
"1" is called the mark frequency and the "0" is called the space frequency. If the incoming bit is 1, a signal
with frequency f1 is sent for the duration of the bit. If the bit is 0, a signal with frequency f2 is sent for the
duration of this bit. This is the basic principle behind FSK modulation. In the demodulator circuit, the FSK
modulated signal is applied to a high Q tuned filter. This filter is tuned to the frequency of either 0 or 1. This
filter passes the selected frequency and rejects the other.
The output is then passed through a FWR (Full Wave Rectifier) circuit and the output is now above
zero volts only. It is then passed through a comparator; if the input to the comparator is greater than
threshold value, the output is 1, else it is 0. This digital output of the comparator is the demodulated FSK
output.
Procedure: -
(a)Modulation:
1. Connect any one data output of the decade counter to the Data Inputs of the FSK Modulator.
2. Also connect the outputs of carrier generator to the input of Modulator.

5. Repeat the above step for remaining Data also.
(b)Demodulation:
1. Connect the output of the FSK Modulator to the input of the FSK demodulator.
2. Observe the output of the FSK demodulator on the CRO.
3. Adjust the potentiometers provided in demodulator circuit until we get the demodulator output
corresponding to the data input
Result:
Thus the Frequency Shift Keying was constructed and performed and graph also plotted.
Theory:
PSK is a digital modulation scheme which is analogues to phase modulation. Binary Phase Shift
Keying (BPSK) is the simplest form of PSK. In binary phase shift keying two output phases are possible for
a single carrier frequency one out of phase represent logic 1 and logic 0. As the input digital binary signal
change state the phase of output carrier shift two angles that are 180o out of phase. In a PSK modulator the
carrier input signal is multiplied by the digital data. Each time a change in input logic condition will change
the output phase consequently for PSK the output rate of change equal to the input rate range and widest
output bandwidth occurs when the input binary data are alternating 1/0 sequence. The fundamental
frequency of an alternate 1/0 bit sequence is equal to one half of the bit rate. For demodulation coherent
detector is used. It has 3 parts, a multiplier, and integrator and decision device.
Procedure: -

1. Connect the carrier output of the carrier generator to the carrier input of the PSK modulator.

modulator.

2. Connect the carrier to the carrier input of the PSK Demodulator.
