ST2502 trainer with power supply cord2. Optical Fiber cable3. Cathode ray oscilloscope with necessary connecting probe

Connection Diagram:

Procedure:

1. Connect the power supply cord to the main power plug & to trainer ST25022. Make the following connections as shown in figure 3.1.

a. Connect the FG output marked 1 KHz sine wave to input if emitter 1.b. Plug in a fiber optic link from output of emitter 1 LED to the photo transistor of the detector 1.c. Detector 1 output TP 10 to input of Amplifier TP 27.

Switch on the Power Supply of the trainer and oscilloscope.6. With the help of dual trace oscilloscope observe the input signal at emitter 1 TP 5 also; observe the output from the detector 1. It should carry a smaller version of the original 1 KHz sine wave, illustrating that the modulated light beam has been reconverted back into an electrical signal.7.

Experiment 4Objective: Study of Intensity Modulation Technique using digital Input signal. The objective of this experiment is to obtain intensity modulation of digital signal, transmit it over fiber optic cable and demodulate the same at the receiver end to get back the original signal.Equipments Required:1. ST2502 trainer with power supply cord2. Optical Fiber cable3. Cathode ray oscilloscope with necessary connecting probe

Connection Diagram:

Procedure:1. Connect the power supply cord to the main power plug & to trainer ST2502.2. Make the following connections as shown in figure 4.1.a. Connect the 1 KHz square wave socket in function generator block to emitter 1 input.b. Connect an optic fiber link between emitter 1 output & Detector 1 input with the help of connector provided.c. Detector output to comparator l's non-inverting (+ve) input.

3. Switch the mode switch in emitter block to digital mode. This ensures that signal applied to the driver's input cause the emitter LED to switch quickly between On & Off states.4. Examine the Input to emitter 1 TP 5 on an oscilloscope this 1 KHz square wave is now being used to amplitude modulate emitter I emitter LED.5. Examine the output of detector 1 TP 10. This should carry a smaller version of original I KHz square wave illustrating that the modulated light beam has been reconverted into an electrical signal.6. Monitor both input to comparator 1, at TP 13 & 14 and slowly adjust the "Comparator bias 1 preset until the DC Level on the negative input TP 13 lies midway between the high & low level of the signal on the positive input TP. 14. This DC level is comparator's threshold level.7. Examine the output of comparator 1 TP15 Note that the original digital modulating signal has been reconstructed at the receiver.8. Once again carefully flex the fiber optic cable we can see that there is no change in output on bending the fiber. The output amplitude is now independent of the bend radius of the cable and that of length of cable, provided that detector output signal is large enough to cross the comparator threshold level. This illustrates one of the advantages of amplitude modulation of a light beam by digital rather than analog means. Also, non-linear ties within the emitter LED & photo transistor causing distortion of the signal at the receiver output are the disadvantages associated with amplitude modulating a light source by analog means. Linearity is not a problem if the light beam is switched On & Off with a digital signal, since the detector output is simply squared up by a comparator circuit. To overcome problems associated with amplitude modulation of a light beam by analog means, analog signals are often used to vary or modulate some characteristic of a digital signal (e.g. frequency or pulse width.). The digital signal being used to switch the light beam On & Off. The next two experiments illustrate how an analog signal can be used to modulate two specific characteristics of a digital signal.Questions:1. What is intensity modulation?2. What is the function of LASER? How the modulated signal is detected?

Experiment 5Objective: The Frequency Modulation SystemEquipments Required:1. ST2502 trainer with power supply cord2. Optical Fiber cable3. Cathode ray oscilloscope with necessary connecting probe

Switch emitter l's driver to digital mode. This ensures that fast changing digital signal applied to the drivers input causes the emitter LED to switch quickly between On & Off states.5. Turn the 1 KHz preset in the function generator block to fully anticlockwise (Zero amplitude) position.6. Switch ON the Power Supply of the trainer and oscilloscope.7. Monitor the output of the voltage controlled oscillators (VCO) in the frequency modulator block TP2. Note that the frequency of this digital signal is at present constant, since the modulating 1 KHz sine wave has zero amplitude.8. Examine the output of detector 1 (TP10 and check that the transmitted digital pulses are successfully detected at the receiver).9. With the help of dual trace oscilloscope monitor both inputs to comparator1.10. Now adjust the bias 1 preset until the bias input at TP13 is halfway between the top and bottom of the square wave on TP14. You will remember that the function of the comparator is to clean up the square wave after its transmission through the fiber optic link. The output of comparator 1 drives the input of the PLL detector which produces a signal whose average level is proportional to the frequency of the digital stream. This average level is then extracted by low pass filter 1, and amplified by AC Amplifier1 to produce the original analog signal at the amplifiers output TP28. Examine TP28 and note that the output voltage is zero. This is expected since there is currently no modulating voltage in the transmitter.11. While monitoring the input to the frequency modulator block TP1 and the output from AC amplifier 1 TP28 turn the 1KHz preset to its fully clockwise maximum amplitude) position. Note that the modulating 1 KHz signal now appears at the amplifiers output. If necessary, adjust the amplifiers gain, adjust 1 preset until the two monitored signal are equal in amplitude.

Monitor the output of the pulse width modulator block TP4. Note that the pulse width of this digital signal is at present constant, since the modulating 1 KHz sine wave has zero amplitude.8. Examine the output Detector TP10 and check that the transmitted digital pulse is successfully detected at the receiver.9. Monitor both inputs comparator 1 TP13 & TP14 and if necessary, slowly adjust the comparator's bias preset, until the DC Level on the negative input TP13 lies midway between the high and low level of the signal on the positive input TP14.10. The average level of comparator l's output is extracted by LPF 1 and then amplified by AC amplifier which also removes the DC offset. Since, the average level of the comparator output is proportional to the pulse width, the original analog signal appears at the amplifiers output TP28. Examine TP28 and note that the output voltage is zero. This is expected since there is currently no modulating voltage at the transmitter.11.
