Theory Communication and Communication System: Communications is the field of study concerned with the transmission of information through various means. It can also be defined as technology employed in transmitting messages. In the most fundamental sense, Communication involves implicitly the transmission of information from one place to another through a succession of processes, as describe here:

• The generation of message signal: voice, music, and picture or computer data.

• The description of that message signal by set of symbols.

• The encoding of these symbols in a form that is suitable for transmission over physical medium.

• The transmission of encoded symbols to desired destination.

• The decoding and reproduction of original symbol.

• The recreation of original message. In a communication system, there are three basic elements, namely, transmitter, receiver and channel as shown in figure 1

Block diagram of Communication System

Figure 1

The transmitter is located at one point in space, the receiver is located at some other point separated from transmitter, and channel is a physical medium which connects them. The purpose of transmitter is to convert the message signal produced by the source of information, into a form suitable for transmission over the channel. However, as the signal propagates along the channel, it is distorted due to channel imperfections. The received signal is a corrupted version of transmitted signal. The receiver has the task of operating on the received signal so as to reconstruct a recognizable form of the original message signal.

Digital Communication: Digital communications refers to the field of study concerned with the transmission of digital data. This is in contrast with analog communications. While analog communication uses a continuously varying signal, a digital transmission can be broken down into discrete messages. Transmitting data in discrete messages allows for greater signal processing capability. The ability to process a communication signal means that errors caused by random processes can be detected and corrected. Digital signals can also be sampled instead of continuously monitored and multiple signals can be multiplexed together to form one signal. Because of all these advantages, and recent advances in wideband communication channels and solid-state electronics have allowed scientists to fully realize these advantages, digital communications has grown quickly. Digital communications is quickly edging out analog communication because of the vast demand to transmit computer data and the ability of digital communiations to do so.

A digital communication system represented by the block diagram in figure 2, the rationale for which is rooted in information theory. The functional blocks of the transmitter and the receiver, starting from the far end of the channel, are paired as follows:

• Source Encoder-Decoder

• Channel Encoder-Decoder

• Modulator-Demodulator The source encoder removes redundant information from the message signal and is responsible for efficient use of the channel. The resulting sequence of symbol is called the source code word. The data stream is processed next by the channel encoder, which produces a new sequence of symbol called the channel code word. Finally, the modulator represents each symbol of the channel code word by a corresponding analog symbol, appropriately selected from a finite set of possible analog symbols.

Line Coding and Decoding: Line coding consists of representing the digital signal to be transported, by an amplitude- and time-discrete signal that is optimally tuned for the specific properties of the physical channel (and of the receiving equipment). The waveform pattern of voltage or current used to represent the 1s and 0s of a digital signal on a transmission link is called line encoding. The common types of line encoding are unipolar, polar, bipolar and Manchester encoding. Line codes are used commonly in computer communication networks over short distances. Each of the various line formats has a particular advantage and disadvantage. It is not possible to select one, which will meet all needs. The format may be selected to meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Minimize transmission hardware

• Facilitate synchronization

• Ease error detection and correction

• Minimize spectral content

• Eliminate a dc component The Manchester code is quite popular. It is known as a self-clocking code because there is always a transition during the bit interval. Consequently, long strings of zeros or ones do not cause clocking problems.

Figure 11 Modulation and its purpose: Baseband signals produced by various information sources are not always suitable for direct transmission over a given channel. These signals are usually further modified to facilitate transmission. This conversion process is known as Modulation. In this process, the baseband signal is used to modify some parameter of a high frequency carrier signal. A carrier is sinusoidal signal of the high frequency, and one of its parameter such as amplitude, frequency or phase is varied according to the message signal.

Purpose of Modulation: 1. For realizable height of Antenna.

2. Simultaneous transmission of several signals. 3. To have a high noise immunity.

Digital Modulation: In digital modulation, an analog carrier signal is modulated by a digital bit stream. Digital modulation methods can be considered as digital-to-analog conversion, and the corresponding demodulation or detection as analog-to-digital conversion. To be able to transmit the data over long distance, we have to modulate the signal that is varying phase, frequency or amplitude according to the digital data. At the receiver separate the signal and the digital information by the process of demodulation.

Some of the digital modulation techniques are described here as follows

Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) Technique: The simplest method of modulating a carrier with a data stream is to change the amplitude of the carrier wave every time the data changes. This modulation technique is known as Amplitude Shift Keying. The simplest way of achieving amplitude shift keying is by switching 'ON' the carrier whenever the data bit is '1' & switching it 'OFF' whenever the data bit is '0' i.e. the transmitter outputs the carrier for a' 1 ' & totally suppresses the carrier for a '0'. This technique is also known as ON-OFF keying. Figure 12 illustrates the amplitude shift keying for the given data stream.

Thus,

ST2156 &ST2157

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 19

Data = 1 carrier transmitted Data = 0 carrier suppressed

Amplitude Shift Keying modulation waveform

Figure 12 The ASK waveform is generated by a balanced modulator circuit, also known as a linear multiplier as shown in the figure 13 given below. As the name suggests, the device multiplies the instantaneous signal at its two inputs. The output voltage being product of the two input voltages at any instance of time. One of the inputs is AC coupled 'carrier' wave of high frequency. Generally, the carrier wave is a sinusoidal signal since any other waveform would increase the bandwidth, without providing any advantages. The other input which is the information signal to be transmitted, is DC coupled. It is known as modulating signal.

Amplitude Shift Keying Modulator

Page 20: Data formatting & carrier Modulation transmitter Techbook ... · Data Formatting & Carrier Modulation Transmitter Techbook and Carrier Demodulation & Data Reformatting Receiver Techbook

ST2156 &ST2157

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 20

The data stream applied is unipolar i.e. 0 volts for logic '0' & + 5 Volts for logic '1'. The output of balanced modulator is a sine wave, unchanged in phase when a data bit ‘l' is applied to it and is zero when the data bit '0' is applied. The ASK modulation result in a great simplicity at the receiver. The method to demodulate the ASK waveform is to rectify it, pass it through the filter & ‘shape up’ the resulting waveform. The output is the original data stream. Figure 14 shows the functional blocks required in order to demodulate the ASK waveform at receiver.

Amplitude Shift Keying Demodulator

Figure 14 Advantages and limitations of Amplitude Shift Keying Modulation: Amplitude shift keying is fairly simple to implement in practice, but it is less efficient, because the noise inherent in the transmission channel can deteriorate the signal so much that the amplitude changes in the modulated carrier wave due to noise addition, may lead to the incorrect decoding at the receiver. Hence, this technique is not widely used is practice. Application wise, it is however used in diverse areas such as old emergency radio transmissions and fiber-optic communications.

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) Technique: In frequency shift keying, the carrier frequency is shifted in steps (i.e. from one frequency to another) corresponding to the digital modulation signal. If the higher frequency is used to represent data '1' & lower frequency for data '0', the resulting Frequency shift keying waveform appears as shown in figure 15.

Thus Data = 1 high frequency Data = 0 low frequency

Frequency Shift Keying Waveform Figure 15

Frequency Shift Keying Modulator: On a closer look at the FSK waveform, it is apparent that it can be represented as the sum of two ASK waveforms. This is illustrated in figure 16.

Generation of FSK Waveform from the sum of two ASK Waveforms

Figure 16

Page 22: Data formatting & carrier Modulation transmitter Techbook ... · Data Formatting & Carrier Modulation Transmitter Techbook and Carrier Demodulation & Data Reformatting Receiver Techbook

ST2156 &ST2157

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 22

The functional blocks required in order to generate the FSK signal is as shown in figure 17. There are two ASK modulator, each has different carrier frequencies but the digital data is inverted in one of the modulator. These two different ASK modulated signal are applied to the summing amplifier to get FSK modulated signal.

Frequency Shift Keying Modulator Figure 17

The demodulation of FSK waveform can be carried out by a phase locked loop. As known, the phase locked loop tries to 'lock' to the input frequency. It achieves this by generating corresponding output voltage to be fed to the voltage controlled oscillator, if any frequency deviation at its input is encountered. Thus the PLL detector follows the frequency changes & generates proportional output voltage. The output voltage from PLL contains the carrier components. Therefore the signal is passed through the low pass filter to remove them. The resulting wave is rounded to be used for digital data processing. Also, the amplitude level may be very low due to channel attenuation. The signal is 'Shaped Up' by feeding it to the voltage comparator. The functional block diagram of FSK demodulator is shown in figure 18.

Advantages and limitations of Frequency Shift Keying Modulation Since the amplitude change in FSK waveform does not matter, this modulation technique is very reliable even in noisy & fading channels. But there is always a price to be paid to gain that advantage.

The price in this case is widening of the required bandwidth. The bandwidth increase depends upon the two carrier frequencies used & the digital data rate. Also, for a given data, the higher the frequencies & the more they differ from each other, the wider the required bandwidth. The bandwidth required is at least doubled than that in the ASK modulation. This means that lesser number of communication channels for given band of frequencies.

Phase Shift Keying (PSK) and Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) Technique:

Phase shift keying involves the phase change of the carrier wave between 0° and 180° in accordance with the data levels to be transmitted. Phase shift keying is also known as phase reversal keying (PRK). The PSK waveform for a given data is as shown in figure 19. For Binary PSK

0S (t) Acos(wt)= represents binary ‘0’

1S (t) Acos(wt+ )π= represents binary ‘1’

Phase Shift Keying Waveform Figure 19

Functionally, the PSK modulator is very similar to the ASK modulator. Both uses balanced modulator to multiply the carrier with the modulating signal. But in contrast to ASK technique, the digital signal applied to the modulation input for PSK generation is bipolar i.e. have equal positive and negative voltage levels. When the modulating input is positive the output of modulator is a sine wave in phase with the carrier input. Where as for the negative voltage levels, the output of modulator is a sine wave which is shifted out of phase by 180° from the carrier input. This happens because the carrier input is now multiplied by the negative constant level.. The functional block representation of the PSK modulator is shown in the figure 20.

ST2156 &ST2157

Phase Shift Keying Modulator Figure 20

For PSK signal demodulation the square loop detector circuit is used. The PSK demodulator is as shown in figure 21.

Phase Shift Keying Demodulator

Figure 21

The incoming PSK signal with 0° & 180° phase changes is first fed to the signal squarer, which multiplies the input signal by itself. The output of this block is a signal of having twice the frequency to that of the input carrier frequency. As the frequency of the output doubled, the 0° & 180° phase changes are reflect as 0° & 360° phase changes. Since phase change of 360° is same as 0° phase change, it can be said that the signal squarer simply removes the phase transitions from the original PSK waveform. The PLL block locks to the frequency of the signal square output & produces a clean square wave output of same frequency. To derive the square wave of same frequency as the incoming PSK signal, the PLL output is divided by two.

The following phase adjust circuit allows the phase of the digital signal to be adjusted with respect to the input PSK signal. Also its output controls the closing of an analog switch. When the output is high the switch closes & the original PSK signal is switched through the detector. When the output of phases adjust block is low, the switch opens & the output of detector output falls to 0 Volts. The demodulator output contains positive half cycles when the PSK input has one phase & only negative half cycles when the PSK input has another phase. The phase adjust potentiometer is adjusted properly. The average level information of the demodulator output which contains the digital data information is extracted by the following low pass filter. The

Page 25: Data formatting & carrier Modulation transmitter Techbook ... · Data Formatting & Carrier Modulation Transmitter Techbook and Carrier Demodulation & Data Reformatting Receiver Techbook

ST2156 &ST2157

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 25

low pass filter output is too rounded to be used for digital processing. Therefore it is 'Squared Up' by a voltage comparator.

Phase Shift Keying Receiver System

Figure 22 Since the sine wave is symmetrical, the receiver has no way of detecting whether the incoming phase of the signal is 0° or 180° This phase ambiguity create two different possibilities for the receiver output i.e. the final data stream can be either the original data stream or its inverse. This phase ambiguity can be corrected by applying some data conditioning to the incoming stream to convert it to a form which recognizes the logic levels by changes that occur & not by the absolute value. One such code is NRZ (M) where a change or the absence of change conveys the information. A change in level represents data '1' & no change represents data '0'. This NRZ (M) waveform is used to change the phase at the modulator. The comparator output at receiver can again be of two forms, one being the logical inverse of the other. But now it is not the absolute value in which we are interested. Now the receiver simply locks for changes in levels, a level change representing a '1' and no level changes representing a '0' thus the phase ambiguity problem does not makes difference any more. This is known as differential phase shift keying. This process is known as differential encoding.

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) Technique: If we define four signals, each with a phase shift differing by 90 degree then we have Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK).

The input binary bit stream kd , kd = 0,1,2,..... arrives at the modulator input at a rate 1/T bits/sec and is separated into two data streams Id (t) and Qd (t) containing odd and even bits respectively.

Id (t) = d0, d2, d4.....

Qd (t) = d1, d3, d5.....

A convenient orthogonal realization of a QPSK waveform , s(t) is achieved by amplitude modulating the in-phase and quadrature data streams onto the cosine and sine functions of a carrier wave as follows:

s(t)=1/ 2 dI(t) cos (2πft + π/4) + 1/ 2 dQ(t) sin (2πft + π/4)

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying Waveforms

Figure 24 In quardrature Phase Shift keying each pair of consecutive data bit is treated as a two bit (or Dibit) code which is used to switch the phase of the carrier sine wave between one of four phases 90° apart. The four possible combination of Dibit code are 00, 01, 10 and 11. Each code represents either a phase of 45°, 135°, 225°, and 315° lagging, relative to the phase of the original un-modulated carrier. The choice of these phases is arbitrary as it is convenient to produce them. Quadrature phase shift keying offers an advantage over PSK, in a manner that now each phase represents a two bit code rather than a single bit. This means now either we can change phase per second or the same amount of data can be transmitted with half as many phase changes per second. The second choice results in a lowering of bandwidth requirement. The four phases are produced by adding two carrier waves of same frequency but 90° out of phases. The 0° phase carrier is called In-phase carrier and is labeled 1 The other is 90° (lagging) phase carrier termed as the quadrature carrier and is labeled Q.

The I-carrier is controlled by the MSB (most significant bit) of the Dibit code. When the MSB is a level ‘0' the phase is 0 degrees when the MSB goes to level 1 the phase reverses to 180° The Q-carrier starts with 90° out of phase (with respect to reference I carrier). This carrier is controlled by the LSB (least significant bit) of the digit code when the LSB is a level 0, the phase is 90° degrees with reference to I-carrier). When the LSB goes to a level 1, the phase reverses to 270°. See figure 25.

Phasor Diagram

Figure 25 Assume the digit code be 00. This would give a 0° phase to the in phase carrier and 0° phase to quadrature carrier (90° out of phase with respect to I-carrier). If we add these two waves we would get a 45° resultant. See figure 26.

Phasor Diagram for data bit 00

Figure 26 At any instance of time, there is always a +/- 90° phase difference between the two modulation outputs. As a result, the amplitude of the resultant phasor will always be √2 times the amplitude of input phase or if they are equal. The creation of four phases by vector addition is as shown in figure 27.

Phasor Diagram

Figure 27 It can be appreciated from the above phasor diagram that each phasor switches its phase depending on the data level exactly in the same way as the same way as the PSK modulator does. The only difference is that QPSK is sum of two such PSK modulators.

The QPSK modulator can be configured as shown in the figure 28

The two carriers namely I & Q as has been stated, have same frequency but differ in phase by 90°. Also the I data refer to the Dibit MSB & Q data refers to the Dibit LSB.

Each modulator performs phase-shift keying on its respective carrier input in accordance with respective data input such that,

1. The output of modulator 1 is a PSK signal with phase shift of 0° and 180° respectively, relative to the I-carrier, and

2. The output of modulator 2 is a PSK signal with phase shift of 90° and 270° respectively, relative to the I-carrier.

The output of the two modulators is summed by a summing amplifier. As it is clear from the earlier phasor diagram, the phase of the summing amplifier's output signal relative to I-carrier, at any instance of time takes one of the four phases 45° 135°, 225°, and 315° depending on the applied debit code. When these Dibit codes alter, the phase of the QPSK output changes by 0°, 90°, 180° or 270° from its previous phase position. Thus the output of the summing amplifier is a QPSK waveform. The demodulation of QPSK signal is performed by the fourth power loop detector. The demodulator is quite similar to the one used in PSK system as can be seen from figure 29.

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying Demodulator: The incoming QPSK signal is first squared in the signal squarer 1. The functioning of the signal squarer has already been discussed in the PSK Modulator section. The output of the signal squarer 1 is a signal at twice the original frequency with phase changes reduced to 0° & 180°. This is because all the phase changes are also doubled. The 0° & 180° phase changes becomes 0° (as 2 x 180° = 360° = 0° phase shift.) and the 90° and 270° phases both become 180° (since 270° + 270° = 540° = 180° phase shift)

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying Demodulator

Figure 29 The output of the signal squarer 1 is fed to signal 1. The output of the signal squarer 1 is fed to signal squarer 2. This circuit is identical to signal squarer with frequency double that of the signal at its input (Quadrupled with respect to the original QPSK input signal frequency). The 0° and 180° phases changes are also reduced to a 0° phase changes are also reduced to 0° phases shift, since the phases are also doubled (Also 2 x 180° = 360° = 0° phase shift).

Therefore, the output from signal squarer 2 is a sinewave at four times the frequency of the original QPSK carrier signal with no phase changes.

The output of signal squarer 2 is fed to the phase locked loop (PLL) which locks on the incoming signal & produces a square wave of same frequency as that of the input.

The output of PLL is divided in frequency by a factor of 4 by a ÷ 4 circuit. Now the frequency is same as that of the QPSK carrier signal.

The next stage in demodulation is a phase adjusts Circuit. The output of the phase adjust circuit are two square waves of same frequency as the input signal applied and with 90° phase shift between them. Also the phase of the two output signals can also be adjusted relative to the original QPSK signal. Note that the 90° phase difference between the two outputs is maintained. The output of the phase circuit controls the two analog switches. The switch is closed when the corresponding output goes high. The original QPSK signal is then switched through to one of the QPSK demodulator. How output can be input with a low level, the switches are open & the output is pulled down to 0V. The two outputs from the demodulator are labeled I & Q. Once the correct phase relation between QPSK signal & phase adjust output have been set, the I & Q outputs will contain information about original two bit code. This is illustrated in phase or diagram. See figure 30.

All Angles represent phase LAG with respect to 0°

The average level of the I & Q outputs contains information about the Dibit code. The average level of the two outputs is extracted by passing them through the low pass filter. The output of the filters is rounded & cannot be used for digital processing. The wave 'Squared Up' by a voltage a comparator circuit. As shown in the figure 31.

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying Receiver Figure 31

Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying: A problem arises at this point. Since the phase information is lost in demodulator, the receiver does not know which phase is which as a result it might interpret any of the four phases e.g. 45° QPSK wave. Since there are four possible combinations our chances of recovering correct code is mere 25% e.g. if the receiver treats one of the three QPSK Phases to be at 45° phase, then the possibilities which arise are:

1. 'Q' data at 'I' data output 'I' data at 'Q' data output & inverted. 2. 'I' data at 'Q' data output 'Q' data at 'I' data output & inverted.

3. 'I' data at 'Q' data at correct outputs but both data streams inverted. This leads to phase ambiguity. To overcome this problem, the NRZ (L) data is first encoded into differentially encoded Dibit format at transmitter. In this format, each Dibit pair as encoded as a change in the code. This means that we make the phase change depend on the two bit code at the input instead of making the phase dependent on two bit code. i.e. still make use of Dibit code but now they mean changes in phase rather than actual phase

Code Old Meaning New Meaning NRZ (L) Code The Phase The Phase Change

0 0 45° No Change

0 1 315° 90° 1 0 135° 180°

1 1 225° 270°

At the receiver, once again there are four possibilities the two outputs may be interchanged or inverted as mentioned above. But now the absolute levels of the received data are no longer important. The receiver simply has to tell the two bit code change. As a result phase ambiguity is no longer a problem. To derive NRZ (L) waveform from the encoded pair a differential Dibit decoder is used at receiver. Its output is serially transmitted. The fig 43 shows the functional block diagrams of the QPSK system.

Operating Instructions 1. The experiments make use of two Techbooks namely ST2156 & ST2157.

9. Connect oscilloscope CH1 to ‘Data In’ and CH2 to ‘Biphase (Mark)’ and observe the waveforms.

10. Connect oscilloscope CH1 to ‘Data In’ and CH2 to ‘RB’ and observe the waveforms.

11. Connect oscilloscope CH1 to ‘Data In’ and CH2 to ‘AMI’ and observe the waveforms.

Observations: 1. The output at ‘Data In’ is repeating sequence of bits generated by Parallel to

serial Converter. 2. The ‘NRZ (L)’ data is same as ‘Data In’ but it is one bit shifted.

3. Verify all the formatting techniques according to example patterns given on the ST2156 board.

Conclusions: 1. The NRZ(L) waveform simply goes low for one bit time to represent a data ‘0’

and high for one bit time to represent a data ‘1’. 2. In the NRZ (M) line codes the present level is related to the previous level that

is when logic ‘1’ is to be transmitted change in level occurs and for logic ‘0’ the level remains unchanged.

3. In the RZ line codes, the maximum signal frequency of ‘RZ’ signal occurs when a string of ‘1’ is transmitted. It is equivalent to sending two logic levels in each clock period. Thus bandwidth requires is twice as that required for the NRZ waveforms.

4. The Biphase Manchester codes always contain at least one transition per bit time, irrespective of the data being transmitted. Hence the maximum frequency of the biphase code is equal to the data clock rate when a stream of consecutive data ‘1’ & ‘0’ is transmitted. Therefore the required bandwidth is same as that of RZ code & double as that of NRZ (L) code.

5. In the ‘Biphase Mark’ if a data ‘0’ is to be transmitted, the sequence of the transmitted levels will remain same as for the previous bit interval and if a ‘1’ is to be transmitted , the sequence of the transmitted levels will reverse i.e. phase reversal will occur.

6. The Biphase Mark code being very similar to the Biphase (Manchester) coding requires same amount of bandwidth which is double as that of NRZ (L).

7. The maximum signal frequency in RB code is equal to the data clock frequency; the bandwidth requirements is same as that for RZ, Biphase codes and double that for NRZ codes.

8. The maximum transition rate for AMI can only occur during a stream of all ‘1s’ thus the bandwidth required is twice that required for the NRZ codes.

Figure 2.3 Conclusions: 1. Amplitude shift keying is fairly simple to implement in practice, but it is less

efficient, because the noise inherent in the transmission channel can deteriorate the signal so much that the amplitude changes in the modulated carrier wave due to noise addition, may lead to the incorrect decoding at the receiver.

2. The technique is not widely used is practice. Application wise, it is however used in diverse areas and old as emergency radio transmissions and fiber-optic communications.

Observations: 1. The output at ‘Data In’ is repeating sequence of bits generated by Data Source.

2. The ‘I Data’ and ‘Q Data’ output are even and odd bit sequence of input data sequence and bit duration is double of input data sequence as shown in the figure 7.2.

3. The ‘Output’ of Modulator Circuit (l) and Modulator Circuit (ll) are Phase Shift Keying modulated signals as shown in the figure 7.2, and summation of these two signals are Quadrature Phase Shifted signal as shown in the figure 7.2.

4. The output of Phase Lock Loop (PLL) is clock signal of same frequency as that of the output of double squaring circuit and output of Divide by four (÷ 4) is clock signal of frequency four times less than the output of PLL signal.

5. The output of QPSK demodulator is a signal having group of positive half cycles and group of negative half cycles of the carrier signal as shown in the figure 7.2.

6. A low pass filter removes high frequency component from demodulated QPSK signal and it makes the signal smooth as shown in the figure 7.2.

7. The Phase Adjust potentiometer matches the phase of regenerated clock and carrier with input clock and carrier signal respectively.

8. The recovered data does not find inverted after demodulation.
