Internal diagram of CD4016 IC
Binary Amplitude Shift Keying (BASK) is one of the digital modulation
techniques in which the amplitude of carrier is switched according to the binary
3

data. This digital modulation scheme is used to transmit digital data over optical
fiber, point to point military communication applications, etc. Binary 1 is
represented by a short pulse of light and binary 0 by the absence of
light. Amplitude Shift Keying modulation process are relatively inexpensive and
easy to implement. The main disadvantage of ASK is that it is sensitive to
atmospheric noise, distortions and propagation conditions. Here is the practical
circuit diagram of amplitude shift keying modulator using CD4016 IC. CD4016 is
a switching IC with four embedded switches.

PIN DIAGRAM OF IC 7404
WORKING:
• Sine wave is obtained from a function generator.
• Two switches inside the quad analog switch CD4016 are used in the
circuit.
• When the binary data is 1, the 1st switch is enabled and the 2nd switch
is disabled using not gate arrangement. Hence we get sine wave output.
• When the binary data is 0, the 1st switch is disabled and the 2nd switch
is enabled using not gate arrangement. Hence the input of pin-4 is
ground, we get 0 output.
Procedure

2. Study the pin configuration of 4016 and 7404.

BFSK GENERATOR USING ANALOG SWITCH
AIM:
To design and set up a BFSK modulator using analog switch
COMPONENTS REQUIRED:
IC CD 4016,IC 7404, CRO, Function Generator
THEORY:
In binary frequency shift keying the carrier is shifted between two preset
frequencies according to binary input. When CLK is set a logic high the signal
with frequency f1 is obtained at the output and when the CLK is at logic 0 the
signal with frequency f2 is obtained at output .Thus Binary FSK is obtained at the
output.
The CD4016 is a quard bilateral switch intended for the transmission or
multiplexing of analog or digital signals.

EXPERIMENT NO:3
BPSK GENERATOR USING CD4016
AIM:
To set up a Binary Phase Shift Keying Circuit using CD 4016 analog switch
COMPONENTS REQUIRED:
Analog Switch CD 4016, 741,7404, Signal Generator, etc.
THEORY:
In BPSK modulating system phase of the carrier wave is inverted according to the
logic level of the input data. When the data is at logic1 level, the sinusoid has one
fixed phase and when the data is at the other level, the phase of the sinusoid
changes. BPSK and BFSK signal have a constant envelope and hence they are less
susceptible to noise.
Two switches inside the quad analog switch CD 4016 are used in the circuit.
Op-amp is used to invert the phase of the input sine wave. The sine wave can be
obtained from a function generator .
PROCEDURE:
The circuit is set up as shown in figure after verifying that all the
components are in good condition. Sine wave and clock are fed to the function
generator. Output wave form is observed on the CRO.

EXPERIMENT NO:4
MEAN SQUARE ESTIMATION OF SIGNALS
Aim: Write a matlab program to estimate the mean square error of signals
Theory :
In statistics and signal processing, a minimum mean square error (MMSE)
estimator describes the approach which minimizes the mean square error (MSE),
which is a common measure of estimator quality. Let X be an unknown random
variable, and let Y be a known random variable (the measurement). An estimator
is any function of the measurement Y, and its MSE is given by
where the expectation is taken over both X and Y.
The MMSE estimator is then defined as the estimator achieving minimal MSE.In
many cases, it is not possible to determine a closed form for the MMSE estimator.
In these cases, one possibility is to seek the technique minimizing the MSE within
a particular class, such as the class of linear estimators.

EXPERIMENT NO:5
BINARY AMPLITUDE SHIFT KEYING
AIM:
To generate Binary amplitude shift keyed (BASK) signal using MATLAB
THEORY:
Generation of BASK Amplitude shift keying - BASK - 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. For a binary
message sequence there are two levels, one of which is typically zero. The data
rate is a sub-multiple of the carrier frequency. Thus the modulated waveform
consists of bursts of a sinusoid. One of the disadvantages of BASK, 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.

KLYSTRON CHARACTERISTICS
AIM:
To verify the characteristics of Reflex Klystron tube and to determine
the electronic tuning range
APPARATUS:
1. Klystron Power Supply SKPS-610
2. Klystron Tube 2K-25 with Klystron MOLInt-XM-251
3. Isolator XI-621
4. Frequency Meter XF-710

6. Detector Mount XD-451
7. Wave Guide Stand XU-535
8. VSWR Meter SW-215
9. Oscilloscope
10. BNC Cable
THEORY:
The Reflex Klystron makes the use of velocity modulation to
transform continuous electron beam energy 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 electron turn back through the resonator.
23

Suppose an RF- Field exists between the resonator, the electrons traveling
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, returning electrons group together in
bunches. As the electron bunches pass through resonator, they interact with
voltage at the resonator grids. If the bunches passes the grid at such time that
the electrons are slowed down by the voltage then energy will be delivered
to the resonator and the Klystron will oscillate. Fig. 2 & 3 shows the
relationship between output power, frequency and reflector voltages.
The frequency is primarily determined by the dimensions of the
resonant cavity. Hence, by changing the volume of resonator, mechanical
tuning of Klystron is possible. Also, a small frequency change can be
obtained by adjusting the reflector voltage. This is called electronic tuning.

THEORY
The electromagnetic field at any point of transmission line, may be considered as
the sum of two traveling waves the ‘Incident Wave, which propagates from the
source tothe load and the reflected wave which propagates towards the generator.
The reflected wave is set up by reflection of incident wave from a discontinuity in
the line or from the load impedance. The superposition of the two traveling waves,
give rise to a standing wave along the line. The maximum field strength is found
where the waves are in phase and minimum where the two waves add in opposite
phase. The distance between two successive minimum or maximum is half the
guide wavelength on the line. The ratio of electrical field strength of reflected and
incident wave is called reflection coefficient.
29

The voltage standing wave ratio is defined as ratio between maximum and
minimum field strength along the line. VSWR is denoted by S and is given as
Where ZL is the load impedance, Z0 is characteristics impedance. The above
equation gives following equation.
