oscillations at its output.

oscillations is proportional
to the size of current pulse
and the decay rate is
proportional to the time

3.1.4 High level collector modulator
Q1 receives the RF signal
at its base. It will conduct
only for a portion of
positive half cycle of carrier
signal.
Collector current of Q1 is in
the form of current pulses.
These pulses are supplied
to the tuned circuit.
The high power audio
amplifier amplifies the
modulating signal to high
power level.
Secondary winding of
modulating transformer T1
is connected in series with
the dc supply voltage Vcc.
Therefore modulating
voltage will add or subtract
from Vcc
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
3.1.4 High level collector modulator This varying supply
voltage is then applied to
the class C amplifier.
Naturally the amplitude of
collector current pulses
will vary in accordance
with the modulating
signal.
These current pulses pass
through the tuned circuit.
They will cause the tuned
circuit to oscillate at the
desired output frequency.
As per the property of the
tuned circuit, the AM wave
is produced at the output
of the tuned circuit.

3.1.5 Advantages of High level collector modulator
1. Better linearity
2. Higher efficiency
3. Higher output power per transistor
3.1.6 Limitations of High level collector modulator
It wont be possible to get 100% modulation using this circuit.
• To get 100% modulation, Em = Vcc
• When the modulating signal goes negative, it subtracts from the Vcc.
• At the negative peak point, the subtraction is zero, so zero voltage is
applied to transistor Q1 producing zero output.

Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
Superheterodyne is basically a process of designing and
constructing wireless communications such as radio
receivers by mixing two frequencies together in order to
produce a difference frequency component called as
intermediate frequency (IF), so as to reduce signal
frequency prior to processing.
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
6.2.2 Superhetrodyne Receiver
•Receiving antenna: The receiving antenna receives the signal which was
sent by the transmitter. It sends the received signal for further
processing.
•RF amplifier: The received signal is fed to the RF amplifier stage so as to
amplify it, as the signal gets attenuated during long-distance
transmission. It is tuned in such a way that it can choose the desired
carrier frequency and amplify it.
•Local Oscillator: This circuit basically generates a signal with a fixed
frequency and the output is then fed to the mixer. When we talk
about AM broadcast system, the intermediate frequency is 455 KHz that
simply means that local oscillator should select such a frequency which is
455 KHz above the incoming signal frequency.
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
6.2.2 Superhetrodyne Receiver
Mixer: A mixer simply mixes the carrier frequency with the frequency of the signal
generated by the local oscillator.
Here, two different frequencies are to be mixed so as to have another frequency
component of lower value. Now the thing that first comes to our mind is why the
mixer produces a lower frequency value, which is the difference between the two
frequencies.
The summation of the carrier and local oscillator frequency at the output of the
mixer will give rise to image frequency which is treated as a type of noise or
distortion in the signal. This is the reason why the mixer generates a frequency
difference at its output. This difference frequency is a constant value irrespective of
the variations in the input, known as the intermediate frequency. The constant
frequency at its output is gained by capacitance tuning. In capacitance tuning,
several capacitances are arranged together and operated by a controlling knob. It
doesn’t matter what the incoming signal frequency is, the RF amplifier and local
oscillator must be tuned to it. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
6.2.2 Superhetrodyne Receiver
•IF amplifier: This section basically amplifies the output of the mixer. IF
amplifier provides sensitivity(gain) and selectivity (bandwidth requirement)
to the receiver. As it consists of several transformers consisting of pairs of
the tuned circuit. Here, the sensitivity and selectivity are uniform and does
not show variations as in case of TRF receivers because IF amplifier’s
characteristics are independent of that of the received signal frequency as it
works on the intermediate frequency.
Due to this, the system design is quite easy so as to provide constant
bandwidth along with high gain. This section has narrow bandwidth and
due to its lower bandwidth, it rejects all other frequency so as to reduce the
risk generated from interference. The lower bandwidth accepting nature
supports Superheterodyne receivers to give much better performance than
other types of receivers. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
6.2.2 Superhetrodyne Receiver
•Demodulator: Demodulator is placed exactly after the IF
amplifier so that the constant frequency signal is demodulated
and the message signal can be extracted from it.
•Audio amplifier: The original signal is fed to the audio amplifier
which does not hold distortion or noise so that it can amplify
audio signal to a particular level.
•Power amplifier: Here, the signal is further amplified to a
particular power level which can activate the loudspeaker. The
amplified signal is finally fed to the loudspeaker circuit which
converts the electrical form of the signal into an audio sound
signal which can be heard by the listeners.

6.2.2 Superhetrodyne Receiver
Select the desired station at frequency fs by tuning
the RF amplifier and local oscillator.
Local oscillator is tuned to frequency f0 with f0 > fs.
Mixer produces IF. Note that IF = (f0 – fs)
Output of mixer is an AM signal with two sidebands
and carrier equal to IF. The IF amplifier amplifies this
signal.
Detector will demodulate this signal to recover the
modulating signal.
The audio amplifier and power amplifier will amplify
the AF signal and apply it to loudspeaker.

 A narrowband AM is one in which carrier frequency fc is
much higher than bandwidth of the modulating signal.

3.3.1 Envelope Detector
Selection of RC time constants
• The capacitor charges through D and Rs when the diode is on and it
discharges through R when the diode is off.
• The charging time constant RsC should be short compared to the
carrier period 1/fc .
Thus, RsC << 1/fc
• On the other hand, the discharging time constant RC should be long
enough so that the capacitor discharges slowly through the load
resistance R .
• But, this time constant should not be too long which will not allow
the capacitor voltage to discharge at the maximum rate of change of
the envelope .
• Therefore, 1/fc << RC << 1/W
• where, W = Maximum modulating frequency

3.3.1 Envelope Detector
Distortions in envelop detector
There are two types of distortions which can occur in the detector
output such as :
1. Diagonal clipping
2. Negative peak clipping
1. Diagonal Clipping
 This type of distortion
occurs when the RC time
constant of the load
circuit is too long.
 Due to this, the RC
circuit cannot follow the
fast changes in the
modulating envelope .
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
3.3.1 Envelope Detector
2. Negative peak Clipping
 This distortion occurs due to a fact that the modulation index
on the output side of the detector is higher than that on its
input side.
 Hence, at higher depth of modulation of the transmitted
signal, the overmodulation may take place at the output of the
detector.
 The negative peak clipping will take place as a result of this
overmodulation.

The diode has been reversed, so that now the
negative envelope is demodulated. This has no effect
on detection, but it does ensure that a negative AGC
voltage will be available.
The resistor R of the basic circuit has been
split into two parts R1 and R2 to ensure
that there is a series DC path to ground for
the diode

A low pass filter has been
added, in the form of R1-C1.
This has the function of
removing any RF ripple that
might still be present.
Capacitor C2 is
coupling capacitor,
which is used to
prevent the diode dc
output from reaching
the volume control R4.
R3-C3 is a low pass filter to the carrier
strength, and which may be used for
automatic gain control
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
 The signals from various radio stations reaching at the receiver
input are not of same strength.
 The signals from strong stations are strong and those from
weak stations are weak.
 If the receiver gain is constant then the receiver output will
fluctuate proportional to the strength of input signal.
 This is not desirable.
 So the automatic gain control is used to adjust the receiver
gain automatically so as to keep the receiver output constant
irrespective of strength of input signal.
AGC

Types
of
AGC
3.4.1 Simple AGC
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
 Simple AGC is a system which will change the overall
gain of a receiver automatically.
 This is done in order to keep the receiver output
constant even when the signal strength at the input of
the receiver is changing.
 In the AGC system, a dc voltage (AGC bias) is derived
from the detector. This AGC bias is thus proportional to
the strength of the received signal.
 The AGC bias is applied to a selected number of RF and
IF amplifiers and mixer stage.
 The transconductance and hence the gain of the
devices connected to these stages is dependent on the
applied AGC bias.
AGC Characteristics
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication

Advantages of Simple AGC
1. Simplicity
2. Low cost.
Hence used in domestic radio
receivers.
Disadvantages of Simple
AGC
1. Not only strong signals and the
weak signals also are
attenuated.
3.4.2 Delayed AGC
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
Ideal AGC
• No Delayed Automatic
Gain Control would be
applied until signal
strength was considered
adequate, and after this
point a constant average
output would be
obtained no matter how
much more the signal
strength rose.

curve.
• This shows that AGC bias
is not applied until the
signal strength has reached
a predetermined level, after
which bias is applied as
with normal AGC, but more
strongly.
• As the signal strength then
rises, receiver output also
rises, but relatively slightly.
• The problem of reducing
the gain of the receiver for
weak signals has thus been
avoided, as with “ideal”
AGC

3.4.2 Delayed AGC
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
• It uses two separate diodes: the detector and the AGC detector.
• These can be connected either to separate transformer winding,
as shown, or both may be connected to the secondary without
too much interference.
• A positive bias is applied to the cathode of the AGC diode, to
prevent conduction until a predetermined signal level has been
reached.
• A control is often provided, as shown, to allow manual
adjustment of the bias on the AGC diode, and hence of the
signal level at which Delayed Automatic Gain Control is applied.
• If weak stations are mostly likely to be received, the delay
control setting may be quite high (i.e., no AGO until signal level
is fairly high).
• Nevertheless, it should be made as low as possible, to prevent
overloading of the last IF amplifier by unexpected stronger
signals.
Pre-Emphasis
In FM, the noise has a greater effect on the
higher modulating frequencies. This effect
can be reduced by increasing the value of
modulation index (mf ) for higher modulating
frequencies (fm).
This can be done by increasing the
deviation Δf and Δf can be increased by
increasing the amplitude of modulating
signal at higher modulating frequencies.
Thus, if we boost the amplitude of higher
frequency modulating signals artificially then
it will be possible to improve the noise
immunity at higher modulating frequencies.
Why
Pre-
Emphasis
???
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
Pre-Emphasis The artificial boosting of higher
modulating frequencies is called as pre-
emphasis.
Boosting of higher frequency modulating signal is achieved by using the pre-
emphasis circuit as shown in fig.1(a).
As shown in the fig.1, the modulating AF signal is passed through a high pass RC
filter, before applying it to the FM modulator.
As fm increases, reactance of C decreases and modulating voltage applied to FM
modulator goes on increasing.
The frequency response characteristics of the RC high pass network is shown in
fig.1(b).
The boosting is done according to this pre arranged curve.
The amount of pre-emphasis in US FM transmission and sound transmission in TV
has been standardized at 75 μsec.
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
Pre-Emphasis
• The pre-emphasis circuit is basically a high pass filter. The
pre-emphasis is carried out at the transmitter.
• The frequency for the RC high pass network is 2122 Hz as
shown in fig.1 (b).
• Hence, the pre-emphasis circuit is used at the transmitter as
shown in fig.2.
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
De-Emphasis
The process that is used at the
receiver end to nullify or
compensate the artificial
boosting given to the higher
modulating frequencies in the
process of pre-emphasis is
called De-emphasis.
• That means, the artificially
boosted high frequency signals
are brought to their original
amplitude using the de-
emphasis circuit.
• The 75 μsec de-emphasis
circuit is standard and it is as
shown in fig. 3.
It shows that it is a low pass filter. 75
μsec de-emphasis corresponds to a
frequency response curve that is 3 dB
down at a frequency whose RC time
constant is 75 μsec.i.e.,
The demodulated FM is applied to the
De-emphasis circuit. With increase in fm
the reactance of C goes on decreasing
and the output of de-emphasis circuit
will also reduce as shown in fig.3.

Direct Method of FM Generation
• In direct method or parameter variation method, the
baseband or modulating signal directly modulates
the carrier.
• The carrier signal is generated with the help of an
oscillator circuit.
• This oscillator circuit uses a parallel tuned L-C
circuit.
• Thus the frequency of oscillation of the carrier
generation is governed by the expression:
• Now, we can make the carrier frequency ωc to vary
in accordance with the baseband or modulating
signal x(t) if L or C is varied according to x(t).
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
A) Reactance Modulator
In direct FM generation, the instantaneous frequency of the
carrier is changed directly in proportion with the message signal.
For this, a device called voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is
used.
A VCO can be implemented by using a sinusoidal oscillator with
a tuned circuit having a high value of Q.
The frequency of this
oscillator is changed
by changing the
reactive components
involved in the tuned
circuit. If L or C of a
tuned circuit of an
oscillator is changed in
accordance with the
amplitude of
modulating signal then
FM can be obtained
across the tuned circuit
A two or three terminal
device is placed across
the tuned circuit. The
reactance of the device
is varied proportional to
modulating signal
voltage. This will vary
the frequency of the
oscillator to produce FM.
The devices used are
FET, transistor or
varactor diode.
Principle of Working
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
Varactor Diode Modulator Principle of Working
A varactor diode is a
semiconductor diode whose
junction capacitance varies
linearly with the applied bias
and the varactor diode must be
reverse biased.
The varactor diode is reverse biased by the
negative dc source –Vb.
The modulating AF voltage appears in
series with the negative supply voltage.
Hence, the voltage applied across the
varactor diode varies in proportion with the
modulating voltage.
This will vary the junction capacitance of the
varactor diode.
The varactor diode appears in parallel with
the oscillator tuned circuit.
Hence the oscillator frequency will change
with change in varactor diode capacitance
and FM wave is produced.
The RFC will connect the dc and modulating
signal to the varactor diode but it offers a
very high impedance at high oscillator
frequency. Therefore, the oscillator circuit is
isolated from the dc bias and modulating
Advantages
• Simple Circuits
• Low Cost
Disadvantages
• The LC oscillator frequency is
not stable enough.
• Oscillator cannot be used for
broadcast purposes.
• Crystal Oscillator needs to be
used.
• We have to use automatic
frequency control scheme.

In this method, the FM is obtained through phase modulation.
A crystal oscillator can be used hence the frequency stability is very high
and this method is widely used in practice.

In PM, along with the phase variation, some frequency variation also
takes place. Higher modulating voltages produce greater phase shift
which in turn produces greater frequency deviation.
Higher modulating frequencies produce a faster rate of change of
modulating voltage hence they also produce greater frequency
deviation.
Thus in PM the carrier frequency deviation is proportional to the
modulating voltage regardless of its frequency.
To correct this problem the modulating signal is passed through a
low pass RC filter. Due to this the high frequency modulating signals
are attenuated but there is no change in amplitudes of low
frequency modulating signals.
The filter output is then applied to a phase modulator along with the
carrier as shown.

Phase
modulator
The crystal oscillator produces a stable unmodulated carrier which
is applied to the 90° phase shifter as well as the combining
network through a buffer.
The 90° phase shifter produces a 90° phase shifted carrier. It is
applied to the balanced modulator along with the modulating
signal.
Thus, the carrier used for modulation is 90° shifted with respect to
the original carrier.
At the output of the product modulator, we get DSB SC signal i.e.,
AM signal without carrier.
This signal consists of only two sidebands with their resultant in
phase with the 90° shifted carrier .
The two sidebands and the original carrier without any phase shift
are applied to a combining network (∑). At the output of the
combining network, we get the resultant of vector addition of the
carrier and two sidebands as shown in figure 2.

Now, as the modulation index is increased, the amplitude
of sidebands will also increase. Hence, the amplitude of
their resultant increases. This will increase the
angle Φ made by the resultant with unmodulated carrier.

The FM signal produced at the output of phase modulator
has a low carrier frequency and low modulation index.
They are increased to an adequately high value with the
help of frequency multipliers and mixer.

It also works on the principle of
‘Super heterodyning’ as in AM receivers
Difference between AM and FM receivers:
1. The operating frequencies in FM are much
higher than in AM.
2. FM receivers need limiter and de-emphasis
3. FM demodulators are different than AM.
4. Method to obtain AGC is different.
Working
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
RF Amplifier
• Improves Signal to Noise ratio
• Matches receiver input impedance to
antenna impedance
Mixer (Frequency Changer)
• Input signal frequency fs and local
oscillator frequency f0 are mixed to down
convert received signal frequency to
intermediate frequency (IF)
• IF = f0 – fs
• = 10.7 MHz
IF Amplifier
• Amplifies IF or mixer output
• Due to large bandwidth, gain per stage is
low. Therefore, two or more stages of IF
amplifier are used.
Limiter
• Removes unwanted amplitude variations
in original FM signal.
FM Detector
• Recovers original modulating signal
back from FM signal.
De-Emphasis
• Artificially boosted high frequencies at
transmitter are removed.
AF and Power amplifier
• Modulating signal is voltage amplified.
• Power is increased so as to drive the
loudspeaker.
AGC
• Ensures that the signal fed to the
limiter is within its limiting range .
• Prevents overloading of last IF
amplifier.
Loudspeaker
• Converts modulating signal into
sound.
Waveforms at various points of FM receiver
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
An FM detector or demodulator is a circuit which receives an FM
wave at its input and produces the message signal or modulating
signal at its output.
• Demodulation or detection is exactly opposite to the
modulation process.
• The AM detector is basically an envelope detector.
But FM detector is basically a frequency to amplitude
converter.
• It is expected to convert the frequency variations in
FM wave at its input into amplitude variations at its
22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication
Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
Requirements of FM detector
It must convert frequency variations into amplitude
variations.
This conversion must be linear and efficient.
The detector circuit should be insensitive to
amplitude changes. It should respond only to the
frequency changes.
It should not be too critical in its adjustment and
variation.

  • 4. Low Level Modulation • AM generation at low power levels • Generated AM is then amplified using a chain of linear amplifiers High Level Modulation • AM generation at high power levels • Carrier and modulating signals are amplified first and then modulated in the last RF amplifier stage AM Modulators 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 5. 3.1.1 Low Level AM Modulator FET acts as a variable resistance Op-amp as a non- inverting amplifier 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 6. 3.1.1 Low Level AM Modulator Negative bias at gate source junction FET reverse biased Modulating signal applied to gate through coupling cap. C1 Resistance of JFET changes in proportion to change in amplitude of modulating signal Gain changes in proportion with modulating signal Carrier signal applied at non- inverting terminal will get amplified more for positive going modulating signal Gain increases as Ri decreases when modulating signal is positive Less amplification is provided to the carrier for negative going modulating signal. Thus AM wave is produced at the output of op-amp amplifier 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 7. 3.1.2 Principle of High level modulation Property of a tuned Circuit • If we apply a current pulse to a tuned circuit, then it generates damped voltage oscillations at its output. • The amplitude of oscillations is proportional to the size of current pulse and the decay rate is proportional to the time constant. EC403E – Basics of Communication Ms.Kavita Giri, Lecturer(EC),Govt. Polytechnic, Nagpur 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 8. 3.1.3 Requirements of High level modulation A tuned Circuit A circuit which supplies current pulses to the tuned circuit If the amplitude of current pulses is made proportional to the modulating signal, then AM wave will be generated at the output of the tuned circuit. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 9. 3.1.4 High level collector modulator • The class C amplifier conducts for only a portion of the positive half cycles of the carrier signal applied at the base of transistor Q1. It is a high power RF Class C amplifier. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 10. 3.1.4 High level collector modulator 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 11. 3.1.4 High level collector modulator Q1 receives the RF signal at its base. It will conduct only for a portion of positive half cycle of carrier signal. Collector current of Q1 is in the form of current pulses. These pulses are supplied to the tuned circuit. The high power audio amplifier amplifies the modulating signal to high power level. Secondary winding of modulating transformer T1 is connected in series with the dc supply voltage Vcc. Therefore modulating voltage will add or subtract from Vcc 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 12. 3.1.4 High level collector modulator This varying supply voltage is then applied to the class C amplifier. Naturally the amplitude of collector current pulses will vary in accordance with the modulating signal. These current pulses pass through the tuned circuit. They will cause the tuned circuit to oscillate at the desired output frequency. As per the property of the tuned circuit, the AM wave is produced at the output of the tuned circuit. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 13. 3.1.5 Advantages of High level collector modulator 1. Better linearity 2. Higher efficiency 3. Higher output power per transistor 3.1.6 Limitations of High level collector modulator It wont be possible to get 100% modulation using this circuit. • To get 100% modulation, Em = Vcc • When the modulating signal goes negative, it subtracts from the Vcc. • At the negative peak point, the subtraction is zero, so zero voltage is applied to transistor Q1 producing zero output. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 14. AM transmitters Low Level AM transmitter performs the process of modulation near the beginning of the transmitter High Level AM transmitter performs the modulation step last, at the last or "final" amplifier stage in the transmitter 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur

  • 20. Superheterodyne is basically a process of designing and constructing wireless communications such as radio receivers by mixing two frequencies together in order to produce a difference frequency component called as intermediate frequency (IF), so as to reduce signal frequency prior to processing. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 21. 6.2.2 Superhetrodyne Receiver •Receiving antenna: The receiving antenna receives the signal which was sent by the transmitter. It sends the received signal for further processing. •RF amplifier: The received signal is fed to the RF amplifier stage so as to amplify it, as the signal gets attenuated during long-distance transmission. It is tuned in such a way that it can choose the desired carrier frequency and amplify it. •Local Oscillator: This circuit basically generates a signal with a fixed frequency and the output is then fed to the mixer. When we talk about AM broadcast system, the intermediate frequency is 455 KHz that simply means that local oscillator should select such a frequency which is 455 KHz above the incoming signal frequency. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 22. 6.2.2 Superhetrodyne Receiver Mixer: A mixer simply mixes the carrier frequency with the frequency of the signal generated by the local oscillator. Here, two different frequencies are to be mixed so as to have another frequency component of lower value. Now the thing that first comes to our mind is why the mixer produces a lower frequency value, which is the difference between the two frequencies. The summation of the carrier and local oscillator frequency at the output of the mixer will give rise to image frequency which is treated as a type of noise or distortion in the signal. This is the reason why the mixer generates a frequency difference at its output. This difference frequency is a constant value irrespective of the variations in the input, known as the intermediate frequency. The constant frequency at its output is gained by capacitance tuning. In capacitance tuning, several capacitances are arranged together and operated by a controlling knob. It doesn’t matter what the incoming signal frequency is, the RF amplifier and local oscillator must be tuned to it. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 23. 6.2.2 Superhetrodyne Receiver •IF amplifier: This section basically amplifies the output of the mixer. IF amplifier provides sensitivity(gain) and selectivity (bandwidth requirement) to the receiver. As it consists of several transformers consisting of pairs of the tuned circuit. Here, the sensitivity and selectivity are uniform and does not show variations as in case of TRF receivers because IF amplifier’s characteristics are independent of that of the received signal frequency as it works on the intermediate frequency. Due to this, the system design is quite easy so as to provide constant bandwidth along with high gain. This section has narrow bandwidth and due to its lower bandwidth, it rejects all other frequency so as to reduce the risk generated from interference. The lower bandwidth accepting nature supports Superheterodyne receivers to give much better performance than other types of receivers. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 24. 6.2.2 Superhetrodyne Receiver •Demodulator: Demodulator is placed exactly after the IF amplifier so that the constant frequency signal is demodulated and the message signal can be extracted from it. •Audio amplifier: The original signal is fed to the audio amplifier which does not hold distortion or noise so that it can amplify audio signal to a particular level. •Power amplifier: Here, the signal is further amplified to a particular power level which can activate the loudspeaker. The amplified signal is finally fed to the loudspeaker circuit which converts the electrical form of the signal into an audio sound signal which can be heard by the listeners. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur

This AGC bias is thus proportional to the strength of the received signal.  The AGC bias is applied to a selected number of RF and IF amplifiers and mixer stage.  The transconductance and hence the gain of the devices connected to these stages is dependent on the applied AGC bias.

  • 47. Pre-Emphasis In FM, the noise has a greater effect on the higher modulating frequencies. This effect can be reduced by increasing the value of modulation index (mf ) for higher modulating frequencies (fm). This can be done by increasing the deviation Δf and Δf can be increased by increasing the amplitude of modulating signal at higher modulating frequencies. Thus, if we boost the amplitude of higher frequency modulating signals artificially then it will be possible to improve the noise immunity at higher modulating frequencies. Why Pre- Emphasis ??? 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 48. Pre-Emphasis The artificial boosting of higher modulating frequencies is called as pre- emphasis. Boosting of higher frequency modulating signal is achieved by using the pre- emphasis circuit as shown in fig.1(a). As shown in the fig.1, the modulating AF signal is passed through a high pass RC filter, before applying it to the FM modulator. As fm increases, reactance of C decreases and modulating voltage applied to FM modulator goes on increasing. The frequency response characteristics of the RC high pass network is shown in fig.1(b). The boosting is done according to this pre arranged curve. The amount of pre-emphasis in US FM transmission and sound transmission in TV has been standardized at 75 μsec. 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur

  • 50. De-Emphasis The process that is used at the receiver end to nullify or compensate the artificial boosting given to the higher modulating frequencies in the process of pre-emphasis is called De-emphasis. • That means, the artificially boosted high frequency signals are brought to their original amplitude using the de- emphasis circuit. • The 75 μsec de-emphasis circuit is standard and it is as shown in fig. 3. It shows that it is a low pass filter. 75 μsec de-emphasis corresponds to a frequency response curve that is 3 dB down at a frequency whose RC time constant is 75 μsec.i.e., The demodulated FM is applied to the De-emphasis circuit. With increase in fm the reactance of C goes on decreasing and the output of de-emphasis circuit will also reduce as shown in fig.3.
  • 52. Direct Method of FM Generation • In direct method or parameter variation method, the baseband or modulating signal directly modulates the carrier. • The carrier signal is generated with the help of an oscillator circuit. • This oscillator circuit uses a parallel tuned L-C circuit. • Thus the frequency of oscillation of the carrier generation is governed by the expression: • Now, we can make the carrier frequency ωc to vary in accordance with the baseband or modulating signal x(t) if L or C is varied according to x(t). 22334 – Principles of Electronic Communication Ms. Kavita Giri, Lecturer (ET), GRWP, Latur
  • 53. A) Reactance Modulator In direct FM generation, the instantaneous frequency of the carrier is changed directly in proportion with the message signal. For this, a device called voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is used. A VCO can be implemented by using a sinusoidal oscillator with a tuned circuit having a high value of Q. The frequency of this oscillator is changed by changing the reactive components involved in the tuned circuit. If L or C of a tuned circuit of an oscillator is changed in accordance with the amplitude of modulating signal then FM can be obtained across the tuned circuit A two or three terminal device is placed across the tuned circuit. The reactance of the device is varied proportional to modulating signal voltage. This will vary the frequency of the oscillator to produce FM. The devices used are FET, transistor or varactor diode.

  • 54. Varactor Diode Modulator Principle of Working A varactor diode is a semiconductor diode whose junction capacitance varies linearly with the applied bias and the varactor diode must be reverse biased. The varactor diode is reverse biased by the negative dc source –Vb. The modulating AF voltage appears in series with the negative supply voltage. Hence, the voltage applied across the varactor diode varies in proportion with the modulating voltage. This will vary the junction capacitance of the varactor diode. The varactor diode appears in parallel with the oscillator tuned circuit. Hence the oscillator frequency will change with change in varactor diode capacitance and FM wave is produced. The RFC will connect the dc and modulating signal to the varactor diode but it offers a very high impedance at high oscillator frequency. Therefore, the oscillator circuit is isolated from the dc bias and modulating

  • 58. Armstrong Frequency Modulation System Part I: How to obtain FM from phase modulator? In PM, along with the phase variation, some frequency variation also takes place. Higher modulating voltages produce greater phase shift which in turn produces greater frequency deviation. Higher modulating frequencies produce a faster rate of change of modulating voltage hence they also produce greater frequency deviation. Thus in PM the carrier frequency deviation is proportional to the modulating voltage regardless of its frequency. To correct this problem the modulating signal is passed through a low pass RC filter. Due to this the high frequency modulating signals are attenuated but there is no change in amplitudes of low frequency modulating signals. The filter output is then applied to a phase modulator along with the carrier as shown.

The 90° phase shifter produces a 90° phase shifted carrier. It is applied to the balanced modulator along with the modulating signal. Thus, the carrier used for modulation is 90° shifted with respect to the original carrier. At the output of the product modulator, we get DSB SC signal i.e., AM signal without carrier. This signal consists of only two sidebands with their resultant in phase with the 90° shifted carrier .
