Numbers and Math Functions – Notes

Numbers and Math functions: – There are three numeric types in Python int, float, complex. Variables of numeric types are created when you assign a value to them. example: -complex=1j To verify the type of any object in Python, use the type() function as print(type(variable)). example: – a=5 print(type(a)) You can convert from one type to another with the int(), float(), and complex() methods. example: – a=2 x=float(a) Mathematical functions: – Operators are used to perform operations on variables and values. Arithmetic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulus, exponential and floor division. addition: – The operator ‘+’ is used to add two numbers. subtraction: – The operator ‘-‘ is used to subtract two numbers. Multiplication: – The operator ‘*’ is used to multiply two numbers. division: – The operator ‘/’ is used to divide two numbers. Modulus: – The operator ‘%’ is used to find the remainder in division operation. Exponential operation: – (a**b) is used to find a to the power of b value. floor division:-(a//b) is dividing one number by another and then rounding the result to the closest integer that is smaller.

Double spotting

This is a well known phenomenon which manifests itself by the picking up of the same short wave station at two nearby points on the receiver dial.

  • It is causal because of poor front end selectivity that is inadequate image frequency rejection.
  • Intermediate frequency(IF) stage takes care of eliminating different adjacent signals.
  • If there is no RF Amplifier in a receiver then it suffers badly from double spotting.
  • Suppose if a receiver having an Intermediate frequency of 455 KHz. There is a strong station 14.7 MHz and a weak station 13.79 MHz. If a receiver is turned to 14.7 MHz (strong station) then receiver picks up same station. But if Receiver is tuned to a weak station 13.79 MHz then also receiver picks up near by strong station 14.7 MHz.
  • Double spotting is harmful because a weak station may be marked by the reception of nearby strong station.
  • An improvement in image frequency rejection will reduce Double spotting.
  • One advantage of Double spotting is , it is used to calculate intermediate frequency of an unknown receiver.

Conductivity of a Semi conductor

In a pure Semi conductor number of electrons = number of holes. Thermal agitation (increase in temperature) produces new electron-hole pairs and these electron-hole pair combines produces new charge particles.

one particle is of negative charge which is known as free electron with mobility \mu _{n} another in with positive charge known as free hole with mobility \mu _{p}.

two particles moves in opposite direction in an electric field \overrightarrow{E} and constitutes a current.

The total current density (J) with in the semi conductor.

\overrightarrow{J} = \overrightarrow{J_{n}} + \overrightarrow{J_{p}}

Total conduction current density = conduction current density due to electrons + conduction current density due to holes.

J_{n}= nq\mu _{n}E.

J_{p}= pq\mu _{p}E.

n- number of electrons/Unit-Volume.

p-number of holes/Unit-Volume.

E- applied Electric field strength V/m.

q-charge of electron/hole \approx 1.6X10^{-19}C.

J = nq\mu _{n}E +pq\mu _{p}E.

J = (n\mu _n +p\mu _{p})qE.

J=\sigma E.

where \sigma = (n\mu _{n}+p\mu _{p})q is the conductivity of semi conductor.

Intrinsic Semi conductor:-

In an  intrinsic semi conductor n=p=n_{i}

\therefore conductivity \sigma _{i}= (n_{i}\mu _{n}+ n_{i}\mu _{p})q

\sigma _{i}= n_{i}(\mu _{n}+ \mu _{p})q

where J_{i} is the current density in an intrinsic semi conductor J_{i} = \sigma _{i} E

Conductivity in N-type semi conductor:-

In N-type n> > p 

number of electrons > > number of holes

\therefore \sigma _{N}\simeq n\mu _{n}q

J _{N}= n\mu _{n}q.

Conductivity in P-type semi conductor:-

In P-type p> > n

number of holes > > number of electrons

\therefore \sigma _{p} \approx p\mu _{p}q.

J_{P}= p\mu _{p}q E.

 

Full Wave Rectifier

Full Wave Rectifier (FWR) contains two diodes D_{1} and D_{2}.

FWR converts a.c voltage into pulsating DC in two-half cycles of the applied input signal.

Here  we use a  Transformer, whose secondary winding has been split equally into two half waves with a common center tapped connection ‘c’.

This configuration results in each diode conducting in turn when it’s anode terminal is positive with respect to Center point ‘c’ of  the Transformer.

Working of Full Wave Rectifier:-

During positive half cycle of applied i/p signal

  • point ‘P’ is more positive w.r.to ‘c’.
  • point ‘Q’ is more negative w.r.to ‘c’.

i.e, Diode D_{1} is Forward Biased and D_{2} is Reverse Biased , under this condition the equivalent circuit is as shown below

\therefore V_{o} \approx V_{i} =i_{L}R_{L}, when there is no diode resistance.

Similarly the conditions of diodes will be reversed for the negative half cycle of i/p signal.

  • point ‘P’ is negative w.r.to ‘c’.
  • point ‘Q’ is positive w.r.to ‘c’.

i.e, Diode D_{1} is Reverse Biased and D_{2} is Forward Biased , under this condition the equivalent circuit is  and output voltage is V_{o} \approx i_{L}R_{L}.

the i/p and o/p wave forms are as shown below

FWR is advantageous compared to HWR in terms of its efficiency and ripple factor.

Ripple Factor (\Gamma):-

\Gamma = \frac{V_({ac})rms}{V_{dc}} = \sqrt{\frac{(V_{rms})^2}{V_{dc}}-1}

to find out V_{rms} and V_{dc} of output signal

\therefore V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{\pi }\int_{0}^{\pi }V_{m}^{2} (\sin ^{2}\omega t ) d\omega t}                     ,     \therefore V_{dc} = \frac{1}{\pi } \int_{0}^{\pi }V_{m} (\sin \omega t ) d\omega t

V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{\pi }\int_{0}^{\pi }V_{m}^{2} (\frac{1-\cos 2\omega t}{2} ) d\omega t}          ,               V_{dc} = \frac{-V_{m}}{\pi } [-2 ]

V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{V_{m}^{2}}{\pi }\int_{0}^{\pi } }(\frac{1}{2}\pi )                                           ,              V_{dc} = \frac{2V_{m}}{\pi }

V_{rms} = \frac{V_{m}}{\sqrt{2}}.

I_{rms} = \frac{V_{rms}}{R_{L}}=\frac{V_{m}}{\sqrt{2}R_{L}} = \frac{I_{m}}{\sqrt{2}}      and  I_{dc} = \frac{2I_{m}}{\pi }.

now the ripple factor results to be  \Gamma = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{V_{m}}{\sqrt{2}})^{2}}{(\frac{2V_{m}}{\pi })^{2}}-1}

                                                                        \Gamma = \sqrt{\frac{V_{m}^{2}\pi ^{2}}{8V_{m}^{2}}-1}

                                                                        \Gamma = \sqrt{\frac{\pi ^{2}}{8}-1}

                                                                        \Gamma = 0.482

 

Effect of negative feedback on Band width of an Amplifier

 Let the Band Width of an amplifier without feedback is = BW. Band width of an amplifier with negative feed back is BW_{f}= BW (1+A\beta ). Negative feedback increases Band width.

Proof:-  Consider an amplifier with gain ‘A’

Now the frequency response of the amplifier is as shown in the figure. Frequency response curve means gain (dB) Vs frequency (Hz)

the frequency response of an amplifier consists of three regions

  1. Low frequency region (< f_{1} -lower cut off frequency).
  2. Mid frequency region ( between f_{1} and f_{2}).
  3. High frequency region ( the region > f_{2} -upper cutoff frequency)

Gain in low- frequency region is given asA_{vl} = \frac{A_{v}}{1-j\frac{f_{1}}{f}}---------EQN(I),

A_{v} -open loop gain,

f– frequency,

f_{1}– lower cut off frequency, where Gain in constant region is A_{v}.

Gain in High-frequency region is A_{vh} = \frac{A_{v}}{1+j\frac{f}{f_{2}}}  .

In low-frequency region:-

since open loop gain  in low-frequency region is A_{vl} and gain with feedback is A_{vlf} = \frac{A_{vl}}{1+A_{vl}\beta }

From EQN(I) A_{vl} = \frac{A_{v}}{1-j\frac{f_{1}}{f}}   after substituting A_{vl} in the above equation 

A_{vlf} = \frac{\frac{A_{v}}{1-j\frac{f_{1}}{f}}}{1+\frac{A_{v}}{1-j\frac{f_{1}}{f}}\beta }    

        =\frac{A_{v}}{1-j\frac{f_{1}}{f}+A_{v}\beta }

  = \frac{A_{v}}{1+A_{v}\beta-j\frac{f_{1}}{f} }

Now by dividing the whole expression with (1+A_{v}\beta )

A_{vlf}= \frac{\frac{A_{v}}{(1+A_{v}\beta )}}{\frac{1+A_{v}\beta-j\frac{f_{1}}{f}}{(1+A_{v}\beta )} }

A_{vlf}= \frac{\frac{A_{v}}{(1+A_{v}\beta )}}{1-j\frac{f_{1}}{f}\frac{1}{(1+A_{v}\beta )} }

A_{vlf} = \frac{A_{vf}}{1-j\frac{f_{1}^{'}}{f}}, where A_{vf} = \frac{A_{v}}{1+A_{v}\beta }  and f_{1}^{'} = \frac{f_{1}}{1+A_{v}\beta }

for example lower cut-off frequency f_{1} =20 Hz  implies f_{1}^{'} = \frac{20}{1+A_{v}\beta }  is decreasing with negative feedback.

In High-frequency region:-

Gain with out feed back in High frequency region is A_{vh} = \frac{A_{v}}{1+j\frac{f}{f_{2}}}

Now Gain with negative feed back is A_{vhf} = \frac{A_{vh}}{1+A_{vh}\beta }

Substituting A_{vh} in the above equation 

A_{vhf} = \frac{\frac{A_{v}}{1+j\frac{f}{f_{2}}}}{1+\frac{A_{v}}{1+j\frac{f}{f_{2}}}\beta }

A_{vhf}=\frac{A_{v}}{1+j\frac{f}{f_{2}}+A_{v}\beta }

A_{vhf}= \frac{A_{v}}{1+A_{v}\beta+j\frac{f}{f_{2}} }

Now by dividing the whole expression with (1+A_{v}\beta )

A_{vhf}= \frac{\frac{A_{v}}{(1+A_{v}\beta )}}{\frac{1+A_{v}\beta+j\frac{f}{f_{2}}}{(1+A_{v}\beta )} }

A_{vhf}= \frac{\frac{A_{v}}{(1+A_{v}\beta )}}{1+j\frac{f}{f_{2}}\frac{1}{(1+A_{v}\beta )} }

A_{vhf} = \frac{A_{vf}}{1+j\frac{f}{f_{2}^{'}}}, where A_{vf} = \frac{A_{v}}{1+A_{v}\beta }  and f_{2}^{'} = f_{2}(1+A_{v}\beta )

for example lower cut-off frequency f_{2} =20K Hz  implies f_{1}^{'} = 20 K (1+A_{v}\beta )  is increasing with negative feedback.

In Mid-frequency region:-

Gain with out feed back is A_{v}

and the gain with negative feed back is A_{vf} = \frac{A_{v}}{1+A_{v}\beta }

With out feedback With feedback
lower cut-off frequency  is f_{1} lower cut-off frequency f_{1}^{'}= \frac{f_{1}}{1+A_{v}\beta }, increases
upper cut-off frequency is f_{2} upper cut-off frequency is f_{2}^{'} = f_{2}(1+A_{v}\beta )
BW = f_{2}-f_{1} BW_{f} = f_{2}^{'}-f_{1}^{'} increases

Thus negative feedback decreases lower cut-off frequency and increases upper cut-off frequency.

\therefore Over all gain decreases with  negative feedback and Band Width increases.

 

Classification (or) topologies of feedback Amplifiers

There are 4 different combinations possible with negative feedback in Amplifiers as given below

 

  1. Voltage-Series.
  2. Current-Series.
  3. Voltage-Shunt.
  4. Current-Shunt.

The first part represents the type of sampling at the output .

  • i.e ,  Voltage- Shunt connection.
  • Current-Series connection.

and the second part represents the type of Mixing at the input

  • Series- Voltage is applied at the input.
  • Shunt-Current is applied at the input.

For any Amplifier circuit we require 

  • High Gain
  • High Band Width
  • High Input Impedance
  • and Low Output Impedance.

Classification of feedback Amplifiers is also known as feedback Topologies.

Voltage-Series feedback Connection:-

at i/p side connection is Series and at o/p side connection used is Shunt  since o/p is collected is voltage.

Series connection increases i/p impedance and Voltage at the o/p indicates a decrease in o/p impedance.

i.e, Z_{if} = Z_{i}(1+A\beta )    and    Z_{of} = \frac{Z_{o}}{(1+A\beta )}.

Current-Series feedback Connection:-

Series connection increases i/p impedance and Current at the o/p indicates an increase in o/p impedance.

i.e, Z_{if} = Z_{i}(1+A\beta )    and    Z_{of} = Z_{o}(1+A\beta ).

Voltage-Shunt feedback Connection:-

In this connection, both i/p and o/p impedance decreases .

i.e, Z_{if} = \frac{Z_{i}}{(1+A\beta )}    and    Z_{of} = \frac{Z_{o}}{(1+A\beta )}.

Current-Shunt feedback Connection:-

Shunt connection decreases i/p impedance and Current at the o/p indicates an increase in o/p impedance.

i.e, Z_{if} = \frac{Z_{i}}{(1+A\beta )}    and    Z_{of} = Z_{o}(1+A\beta ).

Effect of negative feedback on different topologies:-

Type of f/b Voltage gain

 

Band Width with f/b i/p impedance o/p
impedance
Voltage-Series decreases increases increases decreases
Current-Series decreases increases increases increases
Voltage-Shunt decreases increases decreases decreases
Current-Shunt decreases increases decreases increases

Similarly negative feedback decreases noise and harmonic distortion for all the four topologies.

x_{2}[n]\leftrightarrow X_{2}(Z) \ \ \ ROC :a_{2}< \left | Z \right | <b_{2}-R_{2}

a\ x_{1}[n]+b\ x_{2}[n]\leftrightarrow \ \ ?.

we know that  Bi-lateral Z- Transform of a signal  x[n]  is X(Z) = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } x[n] \ Z^{-n} .

Z\left \{a\ x_{1}[n]+b\ x_{2}[n]\right \} = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } \ \ \left \{ a\ x_{1}[n]+b\ x_{2}[n] \right \} Z^{-n}.

Z\left \{a\ x_{1}[n]+b\ x_{2}[n]\right \} = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } \ \ \left \{ a\ x_{1}[n]\ Z^{-n}+b\ x_{2}[n] \ Z^{-n}\right \}

Z\left \{a\ x_{1}[n]+b\ x_{2}[n]\right \} = \ a\ \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } x_{1}[n]\ Z^{-n}+b \ \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } x_{2}[n] \ Z^{-n}.

Z\left \{a\ x_{1}[n]+b\ x_{2}[n]\right \} = \ a \ X_{1}(Z)+b \ X_{2}(Z) .          ROC: R_{1} \cap R_{2}.

2.Time-shifting Property:-

x[n]\leftrightarrow X(Z) \ \ \ ROC : R

x[n-k]\leftrightarrow \ ?.

we know that  X(Z) = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } x[n] \ Z^{-n} .

Z\left \{ x[n-k] \right \} = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } x[n-k] \ Z^{-n}.    Let     n-k=m \Rightarrow m= n+k

Here n is a variable and k is a constant.

Z\left \{ x[n-k] \right \} = \sum_{m\ =-\infty }^{\infty } x[m] \ Z^{-(m+k)} .

Z\left \{ x[n-k] \right \} = Z^{-k} \sum_{m\ =-\infty }^{\infty } x[m] \ Z^{-m}.

Z\left \{ x[n-k] \right \} = Z^{-k} X(Z)

x[n-k]\leftrightarrow \ Z^{-k} X(Z)\ , \ \ ROC:R.

from the above equation x[n-k]  forms Z Transform pair with Z^{-k} X(Z).

3. Scaling  in-Z-domain property:-

x[n]\leftrightarrow X(Z) \ \ \ ROC :r_{1}< \left | Z \right | <r_{2}-R_{1}

a^{n}x[n]\leftrightarrow \ \ \ ? ,

we know that  X(Z) = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } x[n] \ Z^{-n} .

Z\left \{ a^{n}\ x[n] \right \} = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }a^{n}\ x[n] \ Z^{-n}.

Z\left \{ a^{n}\ x[n] \right \} = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }\ x[n] \ (a^{-1}Z)^{-n} .

Z\left \{ a^{n}\ x[n] \right \} = X(a^{-1}Z)

a^{n}x[n]\leftrightarrow \ X(\frac{Z}{a}), \ \ \ if \ a>0.   \ \ ROC \ of \ a^{n}x[n] \ is :\left | a \right |\ r_{1}< \left | Z \right | <\left | a \right |\ r_{2} .

4. Time-reversal property:-

we know that  X(Z) = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } x[n] \ Z^{-n} .

Z\left \{ x[-n] \right \} = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } x[-n] \ Z^{-n} .  Let  -n=\ m ,

Z\left \{ x[-n] \right \} = \sum_{m=-\infty }^{\infty } x[m] \ (Z^{-1})^{-m}\ \ \ ROC :r_{1}< \left | Z^{-1} \right | <r_{2}.

x[-n]\leftrightarrow \ X(Z^{-1})\ \ \ ROC :\frac{1}{\left | r_{2} \right |}< \left | Z \right | <\frac{1}{\left | r_{1} \right |}.

from the above equation x[-n]  forms Z Transform pair with X(\frac{1}{Z}).

5. Differentiation in Z-domain:-

x[n]\leftrightarrow X(Z) \ \ \ ROC :r_{1}< \left | Z \right | <r_{2}-R_{1}

n\ x[n]\leftrightarrow \ \ ?.

we know that  X(Z) = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } x[n] \ Z^{-n} .

\frac{d(X(Z))}{dZ} = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } x[n] \frac{d (Z^{-n})}{dZ} .

 

\frac{d(X(Z))}{dZ} = \sum_{n=-\infty }^{\infty } \ -n \ x[n] Z^{(-n-1)} .

\frac{d(X(Z))}{dZ} = -\left  \ Z^{-n}\right ] Z^{-1} .

\frac{d(X(Z))}{dZ} = - Z^{-1} \ Z\left \{ n\ x[n] \right \} .

from the above equation \frac{d(X(Z))}{dZ}  forms Z-Transform pair with n\ x[n]  and the ROC is same as that of the original sequence x[n].

6. Convolution in Time-domain:-

Normal incidence on a perfect conductor

Normal incidence on a perfect conductor

whenever an EM Wave travelling in one medium impinges second medium the wave gets partially transmitted and partially reflected depending up on the type of the second medium.

Assume the first case in Normal incidence that is Normal incidence on a Perfect conductor.

i.e an EM wave propagating in free space strikes suddenly a conducting Boundary which means the other medium is a conductor.

The figure shows a plane Wave which is incident normally upon a boundary between free space and a perfect conductor.

assume the wave is propagating in positive z-axis and the boundary is z=0 plane.

The transmitted wave  since the electric field intensity inside a perfect conductor is zero.

The incident   and reflected   waves are in the medium 1  that is free space.

The energy transmitted is zero so the energy absorbed by the conductor is zero and entire wave is reflected to the same medium

now incident wave is 

  in free space  for medium 1

 ( a wave propagating in positive z-direction) and the reflected wave is  ( a wave propagating in positive z-direction).

 .

by using tangential components  .

The resultant wave is   .

 .

the above equation is in phasor notation , converting the above equation into time-harmonic (or) sinusoidal variations

 .

This is the wave equation which represents standing wave , which is the contribution of incident and reflected waves. as this wave is stationary it does not progress.

it has maximum amplitude at odd multiples of   and minimum amplitude at multiples of  .

Similarly The resultant Magnetic field is

Nature of Magnetic materials

In order to find out the various types of materials in magnetic fields and their behaviour we use the knowledge of the action of magnetic field on a current loop with a simple model of an atom

Magnetic materials are classified on the basis of presence of magnetic dipole moments in the materials.

a charged particle with angular momentum always contributes to the permanent contributions to the angular moment of an atom
1. orbital magnetic dipole moment.
2. electron spin moment.
3. Nuclear spin magnetic moment.

Orbital Magnetic dipole Moment:-

The simple atomic model is one which assumes that there is a central positive nucleus surrounded by electrons in various circular orbits.

an electron in an orbit is analogous to a small current loop and as such experiences a torque in an external magnetic field, the torque tending to align the magnetic field produced by the orbiting electron with the external magnetic field.

Thus the resulting magnetic field at any point in the material would be greater than it would be at that point when the other moments were not considered.

so there are Quantum numbers which describes the orbital state of notion of electron in an atom there are n,l and ml
n-principal Quantum number, which determines the energy of an electron.
l-Orbital Quantum number which determines the angular momentum of orbit.
ml-magnetic Quantum number which determines the component of magnetic moment along the direction of an electric field.

electron spin Magnetic Moment:-

The angular momentum of an electron is called spin of the electron. as electron is a charged particle the spin of the electron produces magnetic dipole moment because electron is spinning about it’s own axis and thus generates a magnetic dipole moment.

\pm 9X 10^{-24} A-m^{2} is the value of electron spin when we consider an atom those electrons which are in shells which are not completely filled with contribute to a magnetic moment for the atom.

Nuclear spin Magnetic Moment:-

a third contribution of the moment of an atom is caused by nuclear spin this provides a negligible effect on the overall magnetic properties of material

That is the mass of the nucleus is much larger than an electron thus the dipole moments due to nuclear spin are very small.

so the total magnetic dipole moment of an atom is nothing but the summation of all the above mentioned .

Compression laws (A-law and u-law)

The laws used in compressor of a non-uniform Quantizer are known as compression laws.

two laws are available

  1. \mu– law.
  2. A-law.

\mu-law:-  A particular form of compression law that is used in practice is the so called  \mu– law which is defined by 

\left | v \right |= sgn(x){\frac{\ln (1+\mu \left | x \right |)}{(1+\mu )}}, for\ 0\leq \left | x \right |\leq 1.

where \left | v \right |  –  Normalized compressed output voltage.

             \left | x \right |   – Normalized input voltage to the compressor.

and  \mu  is a positive constant and its  value decides the curvature of \left | v \right |.

\mu =0   corresponds to no compression, which is the case of uniform quanization, the curve is almost linear as the value of \muincreases signal compression increases.

\mu =255  is the north american standard for PCM voice telephony.

for a given value of \mu, the reciprocal slope of the compression curve, which defines the quantum steps is given by the derivative of  \left | x \right |  with respect to \left | v \right | 

\frac{dx}{dv} = \frac{\ln (1+\mu )}{\mu } (1+\mu \left | x \right |) 

we see that therefore \mulaw is neither strictly linear nor strictly logarithmic.

i.e,

It is approximately linear at low levels of input corresponding to \mu \left | x \right |<<1. and  is approximately logarithmic at high input levels corresponding to \mu \left | x \right |>>1.

typical value of \mu =255 

A-law :- another compression law that is used in practice is the so called A- law defined by

\left | v \right | =\left\{\begin{matrix} sgn(x) (\frac{A\left | x \right |}{1+\ln A}), 0\leq \left | x \right |\leq \frac{1}{A}.\\ sgn(x) (\frac{1+ \ln A\left | x \right |}{1+\ln A}),\frac{1}{A} \leq \left | x \right |\leq 1. \end{matrix}\right.

A=1 corresponds to the case of uniform Quantization. A-law has been plotted for three different values of A. A=1, A=2, A=87.56.

typical value of A is 87.56 in European Commercial PCM standard which is being followed in India.

for both the \mu-law and A-law, the dynamic range capability of the compander improves with increasing \muand A respectively. The SNR for low-level signals increases at the expense of the SNR for high level signals.

to accommodate these two conflicting requirements (i.e, a reasonable SNR for  both low and high-level signals), a compromise is usually made in choosing the value of parameter \mufor the \mu-law and parameter A for the A-law. The typical values used in practice are \mu=255and A=87.56.

It is also interested to note that in actual PCM systems, the companding circuitry does not produce an exact replica of the non-linear compression curves shown in the compression law characteristics.

Basic block diagram of analog communication system

Introduction:-

Communications refer to sending, receiving and processing of information by electrical means, that is it means exchanging information between transmitter and receiver.

In early 1840’s the type of communication used was Wire telegraphy later on the forms are as telephony, Radio communication (possible with the invention of triode tube, Satellite communications and fibre optics(with the invention of transistors and IC’s and semi-conductor devices), that means communications become more advanced with increasing emphasis on computer and other data communications.

A modern communication system is concerned with

before transmission:- 

  • sorting:- sorting for the right message.
  • Processing:- processing is to make that message more suitable for transmission.
  • storing:- storing that message before transmission.

then the actual transmission of that message takes place (processing and filtering  noise)

at the receiver:-

  • decoding:-decoding the original message.
  • storage:-storing a copy of that message.
  • interpretation:-and analyzing for the correctness of that message.

the different forms of modern communication systems includes Mobile communications,Computer communications, Radio telemetry etc.

to become familiar with communication systems one needs to know about amplifiers and oscillators that means fundamentals of electronic circuits must be known, with these concepts as a background the every day communication concepts like noise, modulation and information theory as well as various types of systems may be studied.

The most general form of Communication system ( one or two blocks may differ) is shown in the figure basic terminology used in Communication systems is message signal /information/data,channel,noise,modulation, encoding and decoding. Communication system is meant for communicating messages between Transmitter and Receiver (or) source & destination.

source:-

source or information source is the primary block in communication system which generates original message / actual message. 

i.e, selecting one message (actual message) from a group of messages itself is called as sorting data (or) information. Source generates message which may be in any form like words, code , symbols, sound signal, images, videos etc.among these the desired message has been selected and conveyed.

A transducer is one which converts one form of energy into electrical energy because the message from information source may not be always in electrical form, a transducer is used in between source and transmitter as a separate block sometimes (or) may be a part of Tx r.

Transmitter:-

Txr is meant for the following tasks

  • restriction of range of audio frequencies (i.e, limiting the bandwidth of the message signal).
  • Amplification.
  • Modulation. 

In general modulation is said to be the main function of the transmitter.

Channel:-

The medium that exists between transmitter and receiver is called as channel. The function of channel is to provide connection between transmitter  and receiver, two types of channels are  there wired/point to point  and wireless/broadcasting channels.

Point to point channels are generally wired channels(i.e, a physical medium exists) like Microwave links, optical fibre links etc. 

Microwave links:- these links are used in telephone transmission.In these type of links guided EM waves are used to transmit from Txr to Rxr.

optical fibre links:- used in low-loss high speed data transmission and uses optical fibers as the medium .

Broadcast channels:- the medium or channel is wireless here, in broadcasting a single transmitter can send information to many receivers simultaneously, satellite broadcasting system is one such system.

during the process of transmission and reception, the signal gets distorted due to noise in the channel, noise may interfere with the signal at any point but noise in the channel has greatest effect on the signal.

Receiver:-

The main function of the receiver is to reproduce the message signal in electrical form from the distorted received signal. This reproduction process is called demodulation (or) detection , in general this demodulation may be assumed as the reverse process of modulation carried out in transmission. 

there are a great variety of receivers in communication systems, the type of receiver chosen depends on type of modulation, operating frequency ,its range  and type of destination required. Most common receiver is superheterodyne receiver .

                            crystal receiver with head phones
                                  Radio receiver

so many types of receivers are available from a very simple crystal receiver with headphones to radar receiver etc.

Destination:- It is the final stage of any communication system. it would be a loud speaker / a display device/simply a load etc depending up on the requirement of the system.

Reconstruction filter(Low Pass Filter)

Reconstruction filter (Low Pass Filter) Procedure to reconstruct actual signal from sampled signal:-

Low Pass Filter is used to recover original signal from it’s samples. This is also known as interpolation filter.

An LPF is that type of filter which passes only low frequencies up to cut-off frequency and rejects all other frequencies above cut-off frequency.

For an ideal LPF, there is a sharp change in the response at cut-off frequency as shown in the figure.

i.e, Amplitude response becomes suddenly zero at cut-off frequency which is not possible practically that means an ideal LPF is not physically realizable.

i.e, in place of an  ideal LPF a practical filter is used.

In case of a practical filter, the amplitude response decreases slowly to zero (this is one of the reason why we choose  f_{s}>2f_{m})

This means that there exists a transition band in case of practical Low Pass Filter in the reconstruction of original signal from its samples.

Signal Reconstruction (Interpolation function):-

The process of reconstructing a Continuous Time signal x(t) from it’s samples is known as interpolation.

Interpolation gives either approximate (or) exact reconstruction (or) recovery of CT signal.

One of the simplest interpolation procedures is known as zero-order hold.

Another procedure is linear interpolation. In linear interpolation the adjacent samples (or) sample points are connected by straight lines.

We may also use higher order interpolation formula for reconstructing the CT signal from its sample values.

If we use the above process (Higher order interpolation) the sample points are connected by higher order polynomials (or) other mathematical functions.

For a Band limited signal, if the sampling instants are sufficiently large then the signal may be reconstructed exactly by using a LPF.

In this case an exact interpolation can be carried out between sample points.

Mathematical analysis:-

A Band limited signal x(t) can be reconstructed completely from its samples, which has higher frequency component fm Hz.

If we pass the sampled signal through a LPF having cut-off frequency of  fm  Hz.

From sampling theorem  

g(t) = x(t).\delta _{T_{s}}(t).

g(t)=\frac{1}{T_{s}}\left \{ 1+2\cos \omega _{s}t+2\cos 2\omega _{s}t+2\cos 3\omega _{s}t+..... \right \}.

g(t)     has a multiplication factor  \frac{1}{T_{s}}. To reconstruct  x(t)  (or)  X(f) , the sampled signal must be passed through an ideal LPF of Band Width of  f_{m}  Hz and gain  T_{s} .

\left | H(\omega ) \right |=T_{s} \ for \ -\omega _{m}\leq \omega \leq \omega _{m}.

h(t) = \frac{1}{2\pi } \int_{-\omega _{m}}^{\omega _{m}}T_{s}e^{j\omega t}\ d\omega.

h(t) = 2f_{m}T_{s} \ sinc(2\pi f_{m}t).

If sampling is done at Nyquist rate , then Nyquist interval is  T_{s} = \frac{1}{2f_{m}}.

 therefore  h(t) = \ sinc(2\pi f_{m}t).

h(t) = 0.      at all Nyquist instants  t= \pm \frac{n}{2f_{m}}  , when    g(t)    is applied at the input to this filter the output will be  x(t)  .

Each sample in g(t)  results a sinc pulse having amplitude equal to the strength of sample. If we add all these sinc pulses that gives the original signal  x(t) .

g(t) = x(kT_{s})\delta (t-kT_{s}).

x(t) =\sum_{k} x(kT_{s})\ h (t-kT_{s}) .

x(t) =\sum_{k} x(kT_{s})\ sinc(2\pi f_{m} (t-kT_{s})).

x(t) =\sum_{k} x(kT_{s})\ sinc(2\pi f_{m}t-k\pi ) .

This is known as interpolation formula

It is assumed that the signal  x(t) is strictly band limited but in general an information signal may contain a wide range of frequencies and can not be strictly band limited this means that the maximum frequency in the signal can not be predictable.

then it is not possible to select suitable sampling frequency  fs  .

FSK Generator /BFSK generator

we know that the input to the FSK Generator is a binary sequence 1010…etc.

FSK generator uses two product modulators upper-modulator and lower-modulator with carriers

 and

 .

A level shifter is there in which the output of the level shifter is

when the input is a binary ‘1’ and ‘0’ volts for the input ‘0’ level shifter.

i.e, 

The working of the FSK generator is as follows when the input binary sequence is ‘1’

on the upper modulator 1 has been shifted to a voltage  so that the output of product modulator 1 is

and on the lower modulator input ‘1’ is passed through an inverter and if the output of the inverter is ‘0’ then the output of the level shifter will not change it remains at ‘0’ volt itself.

then the product modulator 2 output is 

then the overall output

similarly, when the input sequence is a binary ‘0’ 

 

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)/BFSK

In a Binary FSK system, symbols 1 and 0 are distinguished from each other by transmitting one of two sinusoidal waves that differ in frequency by a fixed amount.

(or)

The frequency of the carrier signal shifted to two frequencies  for symbols ‘1’ and ‘0’ transmission.

The equation for FSK signal is

\[ S_{FSK}(t)= \sqrt{\frac{2E_{b}}{T_{b}}} \ \ cos (2\pi f_{c_{i}}t),\ 0\leq t\leq T_{b} , \ i=1,2 \]

\[ S_{FSK}(t)= 0 elsewhere \]

i.e, 

where 

 is generally a high frequency.

 is a low frequency and vice-versa is also true.
