Experiment-1

Second Order Low Pass Filter


AIM:- Design a Second order active low pass filter for a given cut-off frequency fc=1 kHz.
And conduct an experiment to draw frequency response and verify roll-off.
COMPONENTS REQUIRED: - Op-amp 741 IC, Resistors, Capacitors, Connecting wires,
Connecting board, CRO-probes.
THEORY:-A low pass filters is the filter that passes low frequency signals but attenuates
Signals with higher frequencies than the cut-off frequency. It is a Second order low pass
filter which means that noise above a certain preset cut-off frequency is weakened by
40db/decade. Op-amp stage is unity gain amplifier. They are often rated for general
audio/video, automotive, avionics, commercial, computers and many industrial, medical
and military applications.
Circuit for the LPF uses two stage passive RC filters connect to the input of Noninverting op-amp. The frequency response of op-amp will be same as that of passive RC
filter, except that the amplitude of output signal is increased by pass band voltage gain
(AF) of the amplifier and non-inverting amplifier as this is given as 1+Rf/R1.For noninverting amplifier circuit the voltage gain of the filter is generally expressed in decibels
and is a function of feedback (Rf) divided by corresponding input resistor (R1) value and is
given by
Voltage gain=20log (Vout/Vin) =

Where Af= pass band gain of a filter,(1+Rf/R1)


f=frequency of input signal in hertz
fc=cut-off frequency in hertz

Half wave precision rectifier


Aim:-To design and obtain half wave precision rectification using OP-Amp and to observe
the transfer characteristics.
Components required:-OP-amp, resistors, diode, connecting board, connecting wires.
Theory:-Rectifiers are often called into action to measure signal strength. A rectifier is an
electrical device that converts AC to DC the process is known as rectification. Although
the series diode is the classic rectifier, it cant rectify signals than its own forward voltage
0.7V threshold which must be overcome before appreciable conduction occurs, therefore
above this threshold we have

Due to this, output of conventional rectifier is distorted, as shown in the figure below

Full wave precision rectifier


Aim:-To design and obtain full wave precision rectification using OP-Amp and to observe
the transfer characteristics.
Components required:-OP-amp, resistors, diode, connecting board, connecting wires.
Theory:-The full wave rectifier depends on the fact that both the half-wave and summing
amplifiers are precision circuits. It operates by producing an inverted half-wave rectified
signal and then adding that signal at double amplitude to the original signal in the
summing amplifier. Vo=-Vi+2Vi=Vi
The result is a reversal of the selected polarity of the input signal. The resistor values
shown are reasonable, the resistors themselves must be of high precision in order to keep
the rectification process accurate.

Astable multivibrator
Aim:-To design an Astable multivibrator using IC 555 to generate a clock signal of
[a].Frequency 1KHz with 0.50 duty cycle.(symmetrical)
[b].Frequency 1KHz with 0.75 duty cycle.(asymmetrical)
Components required:-IC 555, capacitors, resistors, connecting boards and wires.
Theory:-An astable multivibrator often called a free running multivibrator, is a
rectangular wave generating circuit unlike the monostable multivibrator, this circuit does
not require an external trigger to change the state of the output hence the name free
running. However the time during which the output is either high or low is determined by
the two resistors and capacitors, which are connected externally.
In the circuit initially when the circuit output is high capacitor equals 2/3 Vcc comparator1 triggers the flip flop and the output goes high, then the cycle repeats. The time during
which capacitor charges from 1/3 Vcc is equal to the time the ouput is high and given by
tc=0.69(Ra+Rb)C.
Similarly the time during the capacitor discharge from 2/3 Vcc to 1/3 Vcc is equal to the
output is low and is given by td=0.69(Ra+2Rb)C
Thus the total period of the output waveform is T=ta+td.and the frequency of oscillation
is F=1.44/(Ra+2Rb)C.

To calculate Duty cycle:Note Ton and Toff from CRO o/p waveform and D=Ton/(Ton+Toff).

Experiment-8

Monostable multivibrator
Aim:-To design a Monostable multivibrator using IC 555 for a given pulse width.
Components required:-IC 555, capacitors, resistors, connecting boards and wires.
Theory:-The monostable multivibrator often called a one shot multivibrator,is a pulse
generator circuit in which the duration of the pulse is determined by the R-C network
connected externally to the 555 timer. In such a vibrator, one state of output is stable
while the other is quasi-stable (unstable).For auto triggering of the output from quasistable to stable energy is stored by an externally connected capacitor C to a reference
level. The time taken in storage determines the pulse width. The transition of the output
from stable state to quasi-stable state is accomplished by external triggering.
Circuit Diagram:-

Design:-Tc=1msec,Tc=1.1RC let C=0.1F hence R=10K


Time period of the trigger input RC=0.0016T1 let T1=3msec and C=0.01F

R-2R ladder network


Aim:-[a].To design 4 bit DAC using R-2R ladder network.
[b].To generate a staircase waveform using the DAC circuit.

Components required:-OP-amp, resistors, diode, connecting board, connecting wires.


Theory:-A ladder is a series/parallel resistor network, a R-2R ladder requires only two
resistor value R and 2R. Nowadays digital systems are used in many applications because
of their increasingly efficient, reliable and economical operation. Since digital systems
such as microcomputers use a binary system of ones and zeros, the data to be put into
the microcomputer have to be converted from analog form to digital form. The circuit
that performs this conversion and reverse conversion are called A/D and D/A converters
respectively. D/A converter in its simplest form use an op-amp and resistors either in the
binary weighted form or R-2R form. The fig. below shows D/A converter with resistors
connected in R-2R form. It is so called as the resistors used here are R and 2R. The binary
inputs are simulated by switches b0 to b3 and the output is proportional to the binary
inputs. Binary inputs are either in high (+5V) or low (0V) state. The analysis can be carried
out with the help of Thevenins theorem. The output voltage corresponding to all possible
combinations of binary inputs can be calculated as below. V0 = - RF [ (b3/2R) + (b2/4R) +
(b1/8R) + (b0/16R) ] Where each inputs b3, b2, b1 and b0 may be high (+5V) or low (0V).
The great advantage of D/A converter of R-2R type is that it requires only two sets of
precision resistance values. In weighted resistor type more resistors are required and the
circuit is complex. As the number of binary inputs is increased beyond 4 even D/A
converter circuits get complex and their accuracy degenerates. Therefore in critical
applications IC D/A converter is used. Some of the parameters must be known with
reference to converters. Theyre resolution, linearity error, settling time etc. Resolution =
0.5V / 28 = 5 / 256 = 0.0195.
Procedure:[1].Verify all the components and patch chords whether they are in good condition.
[2].Make the connections as shown in circuit diagram.
[3].Give the supply to trainer kit.
[4].For different digital inputs measure the output voltage using multi-meter.
[5].Verify whether the theoretical value is matching with practical values and observes
the outputs.

Pulse width modulation


Aim:-To conduct an experiment to generate PWM for a given frequency.
Components required:-OP-amp, resistors, diode, connecting board, connecting wires.
Theory:- Pulse width Modulation (PWM) is also known as Pulse duration Modulation
(PDM). Three variations of PWM are possible. In One variation, the leading edge of the
pulse is held constant and change in the pulse width with signal is measured with respect
to the leading edge. In other Variable, the tail edge is held in constant and w.r.t to it, the
pulse width is measured in the third variation, the center of the pulse is held constant and
pulse width changes on either side of the center of the pulse. The PWM has the
disadvantage when compared to PDM that its pulses are of varying width and therefore
of varying power content, this means the transmitter must be powerful enough to handle
the max width pulses.
Circuit Diagram:-

Procedure:[1]. Make the connections as shown in the circuit diagram,

Pulse Position modulation


Aim:-To conduct an experiment to generate PPM for a given frequency.
Components required:-OP-amp, resistors, diode, connecting board, connecting wires.
Theory: - In this type of modulation, the amplifier and width of the pulses is kept constant
while the position of each pulse with reference to the position of a reference pulse is
changed according to the instantaneous sampled value of the modulating signal. Pulse
position modulation is observed from pulse width modulation. Any pulse has a leading
edge and trailing edge in this system the leading edge is held in fixed position while the
trailing edge varies towards or away from the leading edge in accordance to the
instantaneous value of sampled signal.

Frequency modulation
Aim:-To design and conduct a suitable experiment to generate an FM wave using IC 8038.
Components required:-OP-amp, resistors, diode, connected board, connecting wires.
Theory: - Frequency modulation: FM is that form of angle modulation in which the
instantaneous frequency is varied linearly with the message signal. The IC 8038 waveform
generator is a monolithic integrated circuit capable of producing high accuracy sine
square , triangular, saw tooth and pulse waveforms with a minimum number of external
components.
Basic principle of IC 8038 The operation of IC 8038 is based on charging and discharging of
a grounded capacitor C, whose charging and discharging rates are controlled by
programmable current generators Ia and Ib. When switch is at position A, the capacitor
charges at a rate determined by current source Ia . Once the capacitor voltage reaches
Vut, the upper comparator (CMP 1) triggers and reset the flip-flop out put. This causes a
switch position to change from position A to B. Now, capacitor charge discharging at the
rate determined by the current sink Ib . Once the capacitor reaches lower threshold
voltage, the lower comparator (CMP 2) triggers and set the flip-flop output. This causes
the switch position to change from position B to A. And this cycle repeats. As a result, we
get square wave at the output of Flip flop and triangular wave across capacitor. The
triangular wave is then passed through the on chip wave shaper to generate sign wave.
To allow automatic frequency controls, currents Ia and Ib are made programmable
through an external control voltage Bi. For equal magnitudes of Ia and Ib, output
waveforms are symmetrical conversely, when two currents are unequal, output
waveforms are asymmetrical. By making, one of the currents much larger than other we
can get saw tooth waveform across capacitor and rectangular waveform at the output of
flip-flop.

Components required:-OP-amp, resistors, diode, connecting board, connecting wires.
Theory:- In PAM the amplitude of the pulses are varied in accordance with the
modulating signal. (Denoting the modulating signal as m (t). PAM is achieved simply by
multiplying the carrier with the m (t) signal. The balanced modulators are frequency used
as multipliers for this purpose. The Output is a series of pulses, the amplitude of which
vary in proportion to the modulating signal. The form of pulse Amplitude modulation
shown in the circuit diagram is referred to as natural PAM because the tops of the pulses
follow the shape of the modulating signal. As shown in fig, the samples are taken at
regular interval of time. If enough samples are taken, a reasonable approximation of the
signal being sampled can be constructed at the receiving end. This is known as PAM.

Amplitude modulation
Aim: - To generate AM signal, information signal given the collector. Also, demodulate it.
Measure the modulation index using two different methods.
Components Required:- IFT, AFT, SL 100/BF 194 transistor, resistors, capacitors, diode
0A79, connecting board, connecting wires and CRO.
Theory: - The modulator is a linear power amplifier that takes the low-level modulating
signal and amplifies it to a high power level. The modulating output signal is coupled
through a modulating transformer to the Class C amplifier. The secondary winding of the
modulation transformer is connected in series with collector supply voltage Vcc of the
Class C amplifier. This means that modulating signal is applied in series with the collector
power supply voltage of the Class C amplifier applying collector modulation. In the
absence of the modulating input signal, there will be zero modulation voltage across the
secondary of the transformer. Therefore, the collector supply voltage will be applied
directly to the Class C amplifier generating current pulses of equal amplitude and output
of the tuned circuit will be a steady sine wave. When the modulating signal occurs, the
a.c. voltage across the secondary of the modulating transformer will be added to and
subtracted from the collector supply voltage. This varying supply voltage is then applied
to the Class C amplifier resulting in variation in the amplitude of the carrier sine wave in
accordance with the modulating signal. The tuned circuit then converts the current pulses
into an amplitude-modulated wave.
Design:- Let fm= kHz m= RC>>tc
or RC (1/mm)
Or RC/3= (1/mm) m=2fm
Assuming value of C=0.01F
Substituting value of C and fm=1 kHz,
we get R=9.5k 10k
m= (Vmax-Vmin)/ (Vmax+Vmin)
Vm= (Vmax-Vmin)/2
Procedure:1. Design the collector modulator circuit assuming fm=1 kHz and m=0.5 take C=0.01F.
2. Before wiring, check all components using multimeter.
3. Make connections as shown in figure.
4. Set the carrier frequency to 2v and 455 kHz.
5. Set the modulating signal to 5v and 1 kHz.
6. Keep carrier amplitude constant and vary the modulating voltage in steps and measure
Vmax and Vmin, and calculate modulation index.
