TESTING OF EQUIPMENTS BEFORE STARTING THE
CONDUCTION
1. OP AMP
Apply sine wave of amplitude 1
volt (1 kHz) as shown in ckt
diagram, if IC is good the output
be a square wave with peaks at +
VSAT and – Vsat.

2. 555 Timer :
If IC is good for the applied 5 V D.C supply as in
ckt diagram the voltage at pin no. 5 will be 2/3
Vcc (3.3 Volts)

3. Transistor
Identify emitter, base and collector of the
transistor, with DMM in diode position, if
transistor junctions are good it should indicate a
low resistance upon forward biasing emitter base junction or collector – base
junction and should indicate either OL or 1.(depending on DMM) upon
reverse biasing EB or CB junctions.
4. Source impedance of ASG:
1. Connect the DRB with the maximum resistance to ASG as in figure.
2. Adjust the amplitude of sine wave of 5V pp at 1 KHz.
3. Start reducing the resistance of DRB this reduces the output voltage also.
Source resistance Rs is that value of DRB resistance when the amplitude of
the output signal is half of the initial value. (2.5 V pp)

II – Order Low Pass and High Pass Active Filters

AIM: - Design a second order Butterworth active low pass / high pass filter for a
given cut-off frequency fC = ______Hz. Conduct an experiment to draw frequency
response and verify the roll off.

PROCEDURE: -

1. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Apply sine wave i/p signal of peak amplitude 5 volts.
3. Check the gain of non-inverting amplifier by keeping the frequency of the
input signal in the pass band of the filter. Note down the output voltage
VO max.
4. Keeping the input signal amplitude constant, vary the frequency until the
output voltage reduces to 0.707 Vo max, the corresponding frequency is
the cut-off frequency (fC) of the filter.

To find the Roll-off factor :-
1. For LPF :- Keeping the input signal amplitude constant, adjust the input
frequency at 10fC. Note down the output signal amplitude. The difference
in the gain of the filter at fC and 10fC gives the Roll-of factor.
2. For HPF :- Keeping the input signal amplitude constant, adjust the input
frequency at 0.1fC, note down the output signal amplitude. The difference
in the gain of the filter at fC and 0.1fC gives the Roll-of factor.

Assuming Rf of diode = 100:,
Then RCH = RDCH = 7.146 k: (use 6.8 k: + 330: std value)
II) Clamping ckt
Negative peak of the modulating signal clamped to zero
Rc 1 /fm, fm = 100Hz
RC = 100 /fm, choose C= 10 f, then R = 100K.
RCH = RDCH = (6.8K + 330 ), R = 100K , Ct = 0.1 f, C = 10 f.

Check points: -
With modulating signal zero, the voltage at pin 5 of 555 timer should be 2/3 VCC.
Ensure that modulating signal is clamped.

Pulse Position Demodulator
Design: -
Specifications: -
1. Monostable Multivibrator: -
PW = 1.1 Rch Ct
Choose Ct = 0.01 Pf, then Rch = 18.18 k : (std. Value)
2. Differentiator : -

Choose Rs * Cs = 0.01 ms, Choose Cs = 0.001Pf, then Rs = 10k :
Rch = 18 k:. Ct = 0.01Pf, Rs = 10 k:, Cs = 0.001Pf
CHECK POINTS: -
x With modulating signal zero, the voltage at pin 5 of 555 timer should be 2 /3 Vcc.
x Ensure that wave form at pin 2 of 555 timer should have a trailing edge going below 1
/3 Vcc.

Pulse Position Modulation Demodulation
relevant waveforms.

Procedure: -
2. Check the working of 555 timer as a monostable multivibrator by giving an
unmodulated PWM signal. Verify the pulse width of output signal for the
designed value.
3. By applying the PWM signal note the change in the position of the pulses i.e.
PPM signal.
4. Critical amplitude of the modulating signal is that value of m(t) at which the
pulse in PPM just disappears.
