AIM: To design a RC Phase Shift and Wein bridge oscillators using Op-amp for a given
oscillating frequency.
COMPONENTS REQUIRED:
THEORY:
RC phase shift oscillator is a sinusoidal oscillator used to produce sustained well shaped sine
wave oscillations. It is used for different applications such as local oscillator for synchronous
receivers, musical instruments, study purposes etc. The main part of an RC phase shift oscillator
is an op amp inverting amplifier with its output fed back into its input using a regenerative
feedback RC filter network, hence the name RC phase shift oscillator.
By varying the capacitor, the frequency of oscillations can be varied. The feedback RC network
has a phase shift of 60 degrees each, hence total phase shift provided by the three RC network is
180 degrees. The op amp is connected as inverting amplifier hence the total phase shift around
the loop will be 360 degrees.

THEORY:
Because of its simplicity & stability, one of the most commonly used audio frequency oscillators
is the Wein bridge. Figure shows the Wein bridge oscillator in which the Wein bridge circuit is
connected between the amplifiers input terminal & the output terminal. The bridge has a series
RC network in one arm & a parallel RC network in the adjoining arm. In the remaining two arms
of the bridge, resistors R1&Rfare connected as shown in figure.
The phase angle criterion for oscillation is that the total phase shift around the circuit must be 0o.
This condition occurs only when the bridge is balanced, that is, at resonance. The frequency of
oscillation f0 is exactly the resonant frequency of the balanced Wein Bridge & is given by

THEORY:
High pass filters attenuate the output voltage for all frequencies below the cut-off frequency fc.
Above fc, the magnitude of the output voltage is constant. The range of frequencies that are
transmitted is known as the pass band. The range of frequencies that are attenuated is known as
the stop band.
High pass filters are often formed simply by interchanging frequency determining resistors is
formed and capacitors in low-pass filters. That is first-order high-pass filter is formed from a first
order low-pass type by interchanging components R & C.

the frequency at which the magnitude of the gain is a 0.707 times its pass band value. Obviously,
all frequencies higher that fc are pass band frequencies, with the highest frequency determined by
the closed-loop bandwidth of the op-amp.

a) ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR
COMPONENTS REQUIREMENT:
THEORY:
An Astable multivibrator is a circuit that is continuously switching its output voltage b/w high
and low levels. It has no stable state. An Astable multivibrator using an operational amplifier is
done when the circuit output is at the positive saturation level, current flows into the capacitor,
charging it positive at the top. The output then rapidly switches to the op-amp negative saturation
level. Now current flows from the capacitor removing its positive charge and recharging it with
the opposite polarity. Then the recharging it with the opposite polarity. Then the op-amp output
rapidly switches back to the positive saturation level and the cycle starts again.
It is seen that the circuit is a square wave generator with an O/P that swings b/w the op-
amp positive and negative saturation levels.

THEORY:
A Monostable Multivibrator has one stable output state. Its normal output voltage may be high or
low, and it stays in the normal state until triggered. When triggered, the o/p switches to the
opposite state for a time dependent on the circuit components.
The dc conditions of the circuit are that the op-amp inverting input terminal is grounded
via resistor R3 and the non inverting input terminal is biased positively by resistor R1 and R2.
Consequently the op-amp o/p is normally positive saturation level and the capacitor C2 is
charged with the polarity. If C2 was not present, the circuit would be similar to capacitor-
coupled voltage level detector that switches its o/p from +Vo to -Vsat

THEORY:
In pulse amplitude modulation (Pam) the amplitude of the pluses are varied in accordance
with the modulating signal denoting the modulating signal as m (t) signal. The balanced
mixer/modulators are frequency used as multipliers for this purpose. The O/P is a series of
pluses, the amplitudes of which vary in proportion to the modulating signal.
The particular form of amplitude modulation is referred to as natural PAM because the tops of
the pluses follow the shape of the modulating signal.
As shown in figure the samples are taken at regular interval of time. Each sample is a pulse,
whose amplitude is determined by amplitude of the variable at the instant of time at which the
sample is taken. If enough samples are taken, the receiving end. This is known as “Pulse
amplitude modulation”.
The sampling theorem sates that, if the sampling rate in any pulse modulation system exceeds
twice the maximum signal frequency, the original signal frequency, the original signal can be
reconstructed in the receiver with minimal distortion.

COMPONENTS REQUIRED:
THEORY:
Figure shows the basic circuit for a BJT modulator. It is a high power class C amplifier with
high-level modulators. The modulator is a linear power amplifier that takes the low modulating
signal and amplifies it to a high power level. The modulating output signal is coupled through
modulating transformer T1 to the class C amplifier. The secondary winding of the modulation
transformer is connected in series with the 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 absence of modulating input signal, there will be zero modulation voltage across the
secondary of T1.Therefore, the collector supply voltage will be applied directly to the class C
amplifier generating current pluses of equal amplitude and the 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 modulated signal. Due to this amplitude of the

Transistor mixer is also known as RF amplifier. RF amplifier provides initial gain & selectivity.
Figure shows the RF amplifier circuits. It is a tuned circuit followed by an amplifier. The RF
amplifier is usually a simple class A circuit. A typical bipolar circuit is shown in figure.
The values of resistors R1 and R2 in the bi-polar circuit are adjusted such that the amplifier works
as class A amplifier. The RF (input (Antenna) is connected through coupling capacitor (C1) to
the base of the transistor. This makes the circuit very broad band, as the transistor will amplify
virtually any signal picked up by the RF input (Antenna). However the collector is tuned with a
parallel resonant circuit to provide the initial selectivity for the mixer input. And also local
oscillator input is connected through coupling capacitor to the emitter of the transmitter.

The instrumentation amplifier circuit is a combination of the differential input /output amplifier

output voltages from the differential input/output amplifier to drive a grounded load, as

ground loops and static electricity could cause problems. So, the ability to drive a grounded load

AIM: Demonstrate a suitable experiment to generate an FM signal using IC 8038 and its
demodulation using IC565.
REQUIREMENTS:
THEORY:
The IC 8038 waveforms generator is a monolithic integrated circuit capable of producing high
accuracy sine, square, triangle, saw tooth and pulse waveforms with a minimum of external pulse
components.
The frequency of the waveform generator is direct function of the dc voltage at terminal
8(measured from V+). By altering this voltage, frequency modulation is performed. For small
deviations (eg. +-10%)the modulating signal can be applied directly to pin8, merely providing dc
de-coupling with a capacitor. An external resistor between pins 7 and 8 is not necessary but it
can be used to increase input impedance from about 8k. (pins 7 and 8 connected together), to
about (R+8k).
The sine wave output has a relative high output impedance (1k typical). The circuit may use a
simple op-amp follower to provide buffering, gain and amplitude adjustment.
For larger FM deviations or for frequency sweeping, the modulating signal is applied between
the positive supply voltage and pin 8.In this way the entire bias for the current sources is created
by the modulating, and a very large (eg.1000: 1) sweep range is created (f=0 at V sweep=0). Core

COMPONENTS REQUIRED:
THEORY:
A frequency synthesizer is an electronic circuit that generates a range of frequencies from a single
reference frequency. Frequency synthesizers are used in many modern devices such
as radio receivers, televisions, mobile telephones, radiotelephones, walkie-talkies, CB radios, cable
television converter boxes satellite receivers, and GPS systems. A frequency synthesizer may use the
techniques of frequency multiplication, frequency division, direct digital synthesis, frequency mixing,
and phase-locked loops to generate its frequencies. The stability and accuracy of the frequency
synthesizer's output are related to the stability and accuracy of its reference frequency input.
Consequently, synthesizers use stable and accurate reference frequencies, such as those provided
by crystal oscillators.
A phase locked loop is a feedback control system. It compares the phases of two input signals and
produces an error signal that is proportional to the difference between their phases.[10] The error signal is
then low pass filtered and used to drive a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) which creates an output
frequency. The output frequency is fed through a frequency divider back to the input of the system,
producing a negative feedback loop. If the output frequency drifts, the phase error signal will increase,
driving the frequency in the opposite direction so as to reduce the error. Thus the output is locked to the
frequency at the other input. This other input is called the reference and is usually derived from a crystal
oscillator, which is very stable in frequency. The block diagram below shows the basic elements and
arrangement of a PLL based frequency synthesizer.

Frequency synthesizer Output signal is generated for the given input signal with:

AIM: Using IC 1496 rig up a balanced modulator circuit test its operation and record the

COMPONENTS REQUIREMENT:
THEORY:
The integrated circuit (IC) balanced mixer is widely used in receiver ICs, as well as being
available as a separate integrated circuit. The IC versions are usually described as balanced
modulation since the modulation function is basically the same as the mixing function.
Integrated circuit doubly balanced modulation like the LM1496 operates as multiplier circuits
that produce only side band pairs at the o/p. Application is simple, required only bias and an
approximate band filter to eliminate side band pairs at harmonics of the carrier very little
adjustment is required to obtain good balance.
An important advantage of the integrated circuit balanced modulator is that, when it is operated with a
large carrier signal, the o/p signal amplitude is independent of the carrier amplitude. The result is the o/p
amplitude depends only on the amplitude f the input signal (Which is the modulating signal when it is
used as a modulator or the side band signal when it is used as a demodulator).
