TESTING OF EQUIPMENTS BEFORE STARTING THE


CONDUCTION
1. OP AMP
Apply sine wave of amplitude 1
volt (1 kHz) as shown in ckt
diagram, if IC is good the output
be a square wave with peaks at +
VSAT and – Vsat.

2. 555 Timer :
If IC is good for the applied 5 V D.C supply as in
ckt diagram the voltage at pin no. 5 will be 2/3
Vcc (3.3 Volts)

3. Transistor
Identify emitter, base and collector of the
transistor, with DMM in diode position, if
transistor junctions are good it should indicate a
low resistance upon forward biasing emitter base junction or collector – base
junction and should indicate either OL or 1.(depending on DMM) upon
reverse biasing EB or CB junctions.
4. Source impedance of ASG:
1. Connect the DRB with the maximum resistance to ASG as in figure.
2. Adjust the amplitude of sine wave of 5V pp at 1 KHz.
3. Start reducing the resistance of DRB this reduces the output voltage also.
Source resistance Rs is that value of DRB resistance when the amplitude of
the output signal is half of the initial value. (2.5 V pp)

II – Order Low Pass and High Pass Active Filters

AIM: - Design a second order Butterworth active low pass / high pass filter for a
given cut-off frequency fC = ______Hz. Conduct an experiment to draw frequency
response and verify the roll off.

PROCEDURE: -

1. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram.


2. Apply sine wave i/p signal of peak amplitude 5 volts.
3. Check the gain of non-inverting amplifier by keeping the frequency of the
input signal in the pass band of the filter. Note down the output voltage
VO max.
4. Keeping the input signal amplitude constant, vary the frequency until the
output voltage reduces to 0.707 Vo max, the corresponding frequency is

the cut-off frequency (fC) of the filter.

To find the Roll-off factor :-


1. For LPF :- Keeping the input signal amplitude constant, adjust the input
frequency at 10fC. Note down the output signal amplitude. The difference
in the gain of the filter at fC and 10fC gives the Roll-of factor.
2. For HPF :- Keeping the input signal amplitude constant, adjust the input
frequency at 0.1fC, note down the output signal amplitude. The difference

II – Order Band Pass and Band Elimination Active Filters

AIM: - Design a second order band pass and band stop active filter for a given
frequencies fC1 = ______Hz and fC2 = ______Hz. Conduct an experiment to draw
frequency response and verify the Roll off (Band Width = 3 to 5 KHz).

PROCEDURE: -

1. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram.


2. Apply sine wave i/p signal of peak amplitude 5 volts.
3. Check the gain of non-inverting amplifier by keeping the frequency of the
input signal in the pass band of the filter. Note down the output voltage
VO max.
4. Keeping the input signal amplitude constant, vary the frequency on either
side of pass band until the output voltage reduces to 0.707 Vo max, the

corresponding frequencies are the lower cut-off frequency (fL) and the
upper cut-off frequency (fH) of the filter.

To find the Roll-off factor :-


1. For LPF :- Keeping the input signal amplitude constant, adjust the input
frequency at 10fC, note down the output signal amplitude. The difference
in the gain of the filter at fC and 10fC gives the Roll-of factor.
2. For HPF :- Keeping the input signal amplitude constant, adjust the input
frequency at 0.1fC, note down the output signal amplitude. The difference
in the gain of the filter at fC and 0.1fC gives the Roll-of factor.

Pulse Width Modulation & Demodulation


Aim:- Conduct an experiment to generate PAM signal and also design a circuit to
demodulate the obtained PAM signal and verify sampling theorem. Plot the
relevant waveforms.

Procedure: -
1. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Keeping the modulating signal with minimum amplitude, observe the
output of astable multivibrator with 50 % duty cycle at frequency fc.
3. Apply the modulating signal with frequency fm and the amplitude less
than the critical amplitude observe the PWM signal.
4. Verify the variation of width of the pulses with respect to clamped
modulating signal (at point A).

To find the critical amplitude: -


As the amplitude of the modulating signal is increase the width of the
pulses during the negative half of the modulating signal keeps on reducing and
that at the positive half of the modulating signal is increased the width of the
pulses during the negative half of the modulating signal keeps on reducing and
that at the positive half of the modulating signal keeps on increasing.

TON = 0.69 (RCH + Rf ) Ct

Toff = 0.69 (RDCH + Rf) Ct

Choose Ct = 0.1 Pf, then (RCH + Rf) = (RDCH + Rf) = 7.246 k:

Assuming Rf of diode = 100:,


Then RCH = RDCH = 7.146 k: (use 6.8 k: + 330: std value)

II) Clamping ckt


Negative peak of the modulating signal clamped to zero
Rc >>1 /fm, fm = 100Hz
RC = 100 /fm, choose C= 10 f, then R = 100K.
RCH = RDCH = (6.8K + 330 ), R = 100K , Ct = 0.1 f, C = 10 f.

Check points: -
With modulating signal zero, the voltage at pin 5 of 555 timer should be 2/3 VCC.
Ensure that modulating signal is clamped.
