THEORY:
Need for Serial Communication:
Within a system data is transferred in parallel because it is the fastest
way to do so. For transferring data over long distances, however,
parallel data transfer requires too many wires. Therefore, data to be
send long distances is usually converted to serial form from parallel
form so that it can be sent on a single wire or a pair of wires. Serial
data received from a distance source is converted to parallel form so
that it can be easily transferred to system bus. Three terms often
encountered in serial communication are simplex, half-duplex and full
duplex. A simplex data line can transmit data only in one direction.
Amouse sending data to CPU is an example of simplex communication.
Half-Duplex transmission means that the communication can take
place in either direction between two systems but only one at a time.
An example of Half-Duplex communication is the walky-talky system.
The term full duplex means that each system can send and receive
data at the same time. A normal phone conversation is an example of
a full duplex operation

EIA-RS232 Standard:
Topology
RS-232 standard is defined for a point-to-point communication. The
data transfer is defined between DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and
the DCE (Data Communication Equipment)
 DCE - Data Communication Equipment such as modem in
analog network or Network Terminating Unit in digital network.
It is regarded as the boundary of a network. Please note that a
minicomputer can be a DCE if it is located at network boundary.
 DTE - Data Terminating equipment such as computer port or
computer terminal in a network

Electrical Characteristics
Voltages of -3v to -25v with respect to signal ground are considered
logic ’1’ (the marking condition), whereas voltages of +3v to +25v are
considered logic ’0’ (the spacing condition). The range of voltages
between -3v and +3v is considered a transition region for which a
signal state is not assigned. Logic states are assigned to the voltage
ranges shown here. Note that this is a "negative logic" convention,
which is the reverse of that used in most modern digital designs.
Most contemporary applications will show an open-circuit signal
voltage of -8 to -14 volts for logic ’1’ (mark), and +8 to +14 volts for
logic ’0’ (space). Voltage magnitudes will be slightly less when the

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 3

generator and receiver are connected (when the DTE and DCE devices
are connected with a cable).

1. A "Space" (Logic 0) will be between +3 and +25 Volts. (Open circuit)

2. A "Mark" (Logic 1) will be between -3 and -25 Volts. (Open circuit)
3. The region between +3 and -3 volts is undefined.
4. An open circuit voltage should never exceed 25 volts.(In Reference to GND)
5. A short circuit current should not exceed 500mA. The driver should
be able to handle this without damage. (Take note of this one!)

Protocol
RS-232 communication is asynchronous. That is a clock signal is not
sent with the data. Each word is synchronized using it’s start bit, and
an internal clock on each side, keeps tabs on the timing.

The diagram above shows the expected waveform from the UART
(Universal Asynchronous Transmitter Receiver) when using the
common 8N1 format. 8N1 signify 8 Data bits, No Parity and 1 Stop Bit.
The RS-232 line, when idle is in the Mark State (Logic 1). A
transmission starts with a start bit, which is (Logic 0). Then each bit is
sent down the line, one at a time. The LSB (Least Significant Bit)
is sent first. A Stop Bit (Logic 1) is then appended to the signal to
make up the transmission. The diagram shows the next bit after the
Stop Bit to be Logic 0. This must mean another word is following, and
this is its Start Bit. If there is no more data coming then the receive
line will stay in its idle state (logic 1). We have encountered something
called a "Break" Signal. This is when the data line is held in Logic 0
state for a time long enough to send an entire word. Therefore if you
don’t put the line back into an idle state, the receiving end will
interpret this as a break signal.
The data sent using this method, is said to be framed. That is the data
is framed between a Start and Stop Bit. Should the Stop Bit be
received as Logic 0, then a framing error will occur. This is common,
when both sides are communicating at different speeds.
The above diagram is only relevant for the signal immediately at the
UART. RS-232 logic levels uses +3 to +15 volts to signify a "Space"

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 4

(Logic 0) and -3 to -15 volts for a "Mark" (logic 1). Any voltage in
between these regions (i.e. between +3 and -3 Volts) is undefined.
Therefore this signal is put through a "RS-232 Level Converter". This is
the signal present on the RS-232 Port of your computer, shown below.

The above waveform applies to the Transmit and Receive lines on the
RS-232 port. These lines carry serial data, hence the name Serial Port.
There are other lines on the RS-232 port, which, in essence are
Parallel lines. These lines (RTS, CTS, DCD, DSR, DTR, RTS and RI) are
also at RS-232 Logic Levels.
Simple Error Detection
There are many approaches to overcoming the problems of noise and
distortion. The simplest method is to add a parity bit to be transmitted
with each character. There are two types of parity, odd parity and
even parity. In the following discussion we shall assume that even
parity is in use.
In even parity the total number of 1’s in a transmitted character and
parity bit together is always an even number. If, for example, there
were 3 1’s in a 7 bit character the parity bit would be set to 1 If, on
the other hand there were 4 1’s the parity bit would be set to 0. This is
illustrated in the figure below.

At the receiver the number of 1’s in a received character is added up.

If there are an odd number of 1’s (in an even parity system) then at
least one bit of the character must have been corrupted. If 2 bits had
been corrupted by noise this would not be detected by the parity bit

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 603) 5

and herein lies the weakness of the parity method of detecting the
effects of error in received character.

Bits/Sec and Bauds

These two terms are usually misused significantly.

Type Description
Bits/Sec Refers to the Actual information Transfer rate that Can be
achieved on A given channel. It is the result of different coding
Level and signaling rate.
Baud Refers to the fundamental signaling rate used on the circuit.
Rate

For example, the V22 modem as listed above; the carrier frequency is
600 Hertz. The fundamental signaling rate again is 600 baud and an
information transfer rate is 1200 bits/sec. Note that it carries 2 bits for
each operating cycle.

Baud rate refers to the symbol per unit time of which a symbol might
consist of two levels (one bit), four levels (two bits) or even more.
Bit/s refers to the actual measurement of data transmission.

An Introduction to Serial communication

 As the name implies, in the Serial communication you send bits of data
serially i.e. one bit at a time.
 Normally we predefine rate of transfer such as
 2400 bits/sec. (2400bps)
 56,000 bits/sec. (56 kbps)
 And then depending upon this rate we interpret bits boundaries.

Example of Serial Waveform

 For example you receive following waveform from serial port of
your PC and it is stated that data rate is 2400bps

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 6

Methods of timing used to find bit boundaries:
1) Synchronous communication

2) Asynchronous Communication
 In Asynchronous communication the sender and receiver
decide a data rate before communication. They decide upon
signaling used for start and stop of data transmission.
 Both sender and receiver use a precise timing reference
internally to divide serial received data into bits.

Basics of Serial Communication

 Baud Rate
 The baud rate is simply “the rate of data transmission expressed
in bits per second, kilo Bits per second or Mega bits per second
etc”.

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 7

Advantage of Start / Stop bits:

Start bit and Stop bit differentiates two different adjacent data words
being transmitted and will also let receiver know when data word
starts and ends.
 The sender and receiver decide upon no of bits in one data word
such as 8 bits (1byte). More over they decide that:
 A first bit before transmission of data word will always be 0 (or
1) after which data bits will follow. It is called start bit.
 The last bit followed by data bits will always be 1(or 0) after
which it requires start bit for transmission of next word. This bit
is called stop bit.

Some measures for error detection:

Parity is of two types
1. Even parity
2. Odd parity

 Suppose your data word is 8 bit in length i.e. one byte.

 The sender, before transmitting byte, determines whether the no
of bits in the byte to be sent are even. Suppose sender wants to
send 10011101
 In which there are 5 “1’s” and 3 “0’s”.
 To keep the no. of 1’s even the sender adds an extra bit at the
end of byte so that the total no. of 1’s are 6 (an even no.). This
extra bits is called parity bit.

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 8

Since this bit keeps the no. of 1’s even, so it is called even parity.

Overview of total bits with Parity:

START 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 P STOP

Odd Parity:
Odd parity is added to keep the no. of 1’s odd in transmission. For
example for above case of data being
10011101
The odd parity will be added as 0 as no of 1’s are already 5 (an odd no.)

EIA RS232C Serial Interface Standard:

 A “Space” (logic 0) will be between 3 and 25 volts.
 A “Mark” (logic 1) will be between -3 and -25 volts.
 The region between 3 and -3 volts is undefined.
 Maximum data rates may be up to 115 kbps.
 Maximum serial cable length may be 15 meters.
 The reason to study RS-232C is that the serial port (Com port)
found in PC’S uses this standard.
 Above are the sufficient points to start implementation of the
serial interfacing on PC.

WORKING OF PROTOCOL
Stop and Wait Protocol
The stop and wait protocol builds on the unrestrained protocol by
limiting the frequency at which frames are sent and by informing the
sender whether the last frame was damaged or not. Again the protocol
can be divided into sender and receiver terminals:
 The sender sends a frame and then waits for the receiver to
acknowledge it with something called an ack. If the
acknowledgement states that the last frame was damaged it
will re-send it. It will then wait again for an acknowledgement
and will continue to do this until the acknowledgement states
that the frame arrived undamaged and then loops back to the
start to send the next frame.
 The receiver waits for an incoming frame and upon its arrival; it
checks the frame for errors. It defines an error field in the
record structure called ack. If the frame is undamaged it will
set ack to 0, otherwise if the frame arrives in a damaged state
it will set ack to 1, ignore the damaged frame and send the
acknowledgement back to the sender. It will only pass a frame
on to the patron if it arrives undamaged.
Some of the disadvantages associated with this protocol are:
 If the receivers acknowledgement is damaged, the sender may
draw the wrong conclusion and make the protocol fail; and
 It is very slow as it always has to wait for an acknowledgement.

Sliding Window Protocols

The sliding window protocol is a compromise between the previous
two. It allows multiple but not necessarily all frames to be sent before
receiving acknowledgements for each. It also uses error checking to
detect damaged frames. Frames in the sliding window are numbered
between 0 and some maximum number, which for now is called N. The
frames are numbered such that it is possible to check frames arrive in
the correct order. Usually N is set less than the total number of frames
to be sent. It would not make sense to number every frame
individually if sending thousands and it also saves memory space.
So frames are numbered 0 for the first frame through to N - 1 for the
Nth frame. Frame N + 1 is numbered 0 again - thus the frames are
numbered consecutively modulo N. This does put certain restrictions
on the sliding window protocols as will be explained shortly. If the
window contains x frames numbered starting with s (where x and start
are integers) then the following statements hold:
 Every frame numbered less than s has been sent and
acknowledged;
 No frame greater than or equal to s + x has been sent; and

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 12

  Any frame in the window has been sent but may not yet have
been acknowledged. Such frames are called ’outstanding
frames’.

Initially the window contains frames starting with frame 0. As the

patron provides the station with packets, the window expands until the
limit on outstanding frames is reached. When this limit is reached, no
more packets are accepted from the patron. As outstanding frames are
acknowledged, the window shrinks to exclude those frames
acknowledged. Thus the window can expand again to include new
frames. So frames are excluded from the sliding window in the same
order as they were included. As the window moves on the previous
conditions must always be met. Also if frame s + 1 is acknowledged
but frame s is not, the window will not move until frame s is
acknowledged. Sliding window protocols are also capable of acting as
both a sender and a receiver. The sliding window protocol can be
implemented in two different ways:
 The go - back - n protocol; and
 The selective repeat protocol.

Go back N Protocol
This is the simpler of the two selective repeat protocols as the receiver
rejects every frame except the one it is supposed to receive. There are
several identifying features to this protocol, which are:
 Frame numbers lie between 0 and N - 1 if there are more than N
frames,frame numbers are duplicated. So frames are numbered
consecutively modulo N;
 The receiving station always expects to receive frames in order
of frame number. If a frame is received out of order it sends a
negative acknowledgement (nak) for the one it wanted and waits
for the correct one to arrive;
 If a frame arrives damaged, it is ignored and a nak is sent for it;

 A receiving station will not necessarily acknowledge each frame

explicitly,but if a sending station receives an acknowledgement
for frame j it assumes all frames up to j have been received
correctly. This reduces the number of acknowledgements that
need to be sent;
 Each time a frame is received undamaged an ack timer is set
that counts down and only stops if there is an outgoing frame. If
the timer expires before a frame is sent, an empty frame is sent
out with just an acknowledgement attached;
 The sending station buffers the packets from all outgoing frames
in the sliding window in case it has to re-send them. Packets are

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 13

 removed from the buffer as they are acknowledged to allow the
sliding window to advance; and
 Each outgoing frame has an associated frame timer that is set
when the frame is sent. So if the station does not receive an
acknowledgement for a frame by the time its frame timer has
expired, it assumes something has gone wrong and resends
every frame in the window. So if there are n frames in the
window, the sending station goes back n frames and resends
them all.
 A record is kept of the most recently sent nak so that the same
nak is not repeatedly sent.

Selective Repeat Protocol:

The selective repeat protocol unlike the go - back - n protocol defines
a second sliding window. Now not only does it buffer outgoing frames
until they are acknowledged but it also uses its new second window to
buffer incoming frames should they arrive out of order. The selective
repeat protocol is similar to the go back - n protocol for the following
reasons:
 The frame format is similar;
 It uses piggybacked acknowledgements where possible and does
not acknowledge every frame explicitly. If a frame is
acknowledged the sending station assumes all prior frames have
also been received;
 Naks are used for damaged frames and frames received out of
order;
 Ack timers and frame timers are used.

However there are also several differences with the Selective Repeat
protocol:
 It defines a second sliding window to buffer incoming frames. So
should a frame arrive out of order, it is buffered until its
predecessors arrive - frames must be delivered to the patron in
the correct order;
 If a frame arrives whose frame number is in the window it is
accepted and passed on to the patron only once all of its
predecessors have arrived;
 If a frame arrives whose frame number is in the window but
whose predecessors have not yet arrived, it is still accepted but
a nak is sent for the one it expected;

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 14

  If a frame timer expires, only the timed out frame is resent – the
rational for this is that the other frames may have arrived out of
order;
 If a nak is received, only the number specified is resent;
 An acknowledgement is not necessarily sent for every frame
received. So if an ack is received all frames prior to the number
specified can be assumed to be received correctly.

Getting the protocols to fail

One of the interesting features of this simulator is that it allows you to
make the different protocols fail. The following details how to make
each of the protocols fail:

Stop and Wait Protocol

This protocol copes well with problem situations and will work with
most of the scenarios available including pressing the damage frame
button.

Go back N Protocol
This protocol can handle most problems that arise, however its
weakness is its sliding window. If the sliding window size is set to be
the same as the value entered under ’frames to be numbered
consecutively modulo...’ then the protocol may fail - especially when
running under any of the scenarios concerning acknowledgements. For
example if frames are numbered consecutively modulo 6 and the
sliding window size is set to 6 so frames 0 to 5 are sent. Now if the
only acknowledgement returned is that for 5 and this
acknowledgement becomes lost or damaged, the frame timer at the
sender’s end should expire as none of the frames have been
acknowledged. Therefore all the frames in the window are resent. The
receiver not realising that the frames are duplicates accepts the
frames (as they have the correct numbering - again 0 to 5) and
delivers them.Thus this protocol has failed.

Selective Repeat Protocol

This protocol can be made to fail in a similar way to the previous
protocol provided the sum of the incoming and outgoing frames are
set greater than or equal to the value entered under ’frames to be
numbered consecutively modulo...’

Rules for each protocol used in this software are as described

below.

THEORY:

FSK MODEM:
The name modem is a contraction of the term Modulator and demodulator. When
used in the transmitting mode, the modem accepts digital data and converts it to
analog signals for use in modulating a carrier signal. At the receiver end of the
systems, the carrier is demodulated to recover the data.

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 24

FSK MODULATION:
In this form of modulation, the sine wave carrier assumes two values of
frequency, determined by the binary data signal. Logic high or mark and logic low
or spaces are assigned two different carrier frequencies. The carrier frequency
shifts between two frequencies corresponding to the mark or space level at the
i/p of modulator.

FSK DEMODULATION:
The most common circuit for demodulating FSK signals is the PLL. The FSK
signal at the PLL input has two values of frequency. The error voltage at the
output of the phase comparator follows these frequency shifts, thus providing a
two-level signal corresponding to the original binary data stream. The PLL
demodulator is followed by a low pass filter, which removes the residual carrier
components, and by a pulse forming circuit which restores the correct shape of
the data signal.
The main aspects of FSK are:
 Less error rate than ASK.
 if FB is the bit transmission speed, the minimum spectrum Bw of the
modulated signal is higher than Fb
 the transmission efficiency, defined as the ratio of Fb and Bw, is less
than1
 the “Baud” or “Baud rate”, defined as the “modulation speed” or “symbol
speed”

Modem data transmission speed: Modems are generally classified according

to the important characteristic of transmission speed as follows:

MODEM CLASSIFICATION DATA RATE HANDLED (BPS)

Low-speed Up to 600
Medium-speed 600 to 2400
High-speed 2400 to about 10,800

All of the above modems can operate within a single 300- to 3400-Hz (4-kHz)
telephone channel. As speed increases beyond approximately 19,000 bps, a
wideband modem is needed, as is a wideband channel.

Modem modulation methods:

Modem utilizes various types of modulation methods, the most common being
frequency-shift keying (FSK), which shifts a carrier frequency to indicate a mark
or a space. Encoded data can be transferred through communication systems for
voice transmission because the frequency shifting is limited to the 4-KHz
bandwidth of the voice-grade channel. The FSK signal is also analog in nature,

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 25

enhancing it’s compatibility with communications circuits.

Modem Interfacing:
RS-232 interface is a standard interconnection between business machine and
modem. The RS-232 interface has been defined by the Electronic Industries
Association (EIA) to ensure compatibility between data sets and terminal
equipment.
The RS-232 interface specifications limit the interconnecting cable to a length of
50 ft (15 m)
The interface also specifies the voltage levels with which data and control signals
are exchanged between data sets and business machines. Each pin in the 25-pin
connector will carry either a binary 0 or a I to indicate activation or deactivation
control functions or data values. A binary 1 is used for making and signifies OFF
while the 0 is used for spacing and signifies ON.

Modem interconnection:
The majority of data circuits utilize telephone channels provided by public
carriers. These channels generally pass through switching facilities and are
provided with equipment designed to enhance the use of the channel for voice
application. This type of equipment is not designed specifically for data
transmission, so that the modem must be designed to compensate for any
inadequate of the voice-grade channel. The two broad types of modems are
available for this type of service, the hard-wired modem and the acoustically
coupled data set.
The one limitation of the hard-wired modem is that it precludes mobility since,
being hard-wired; the equipment must remain connected to the circuit terminals.
The acoustically coupled modem solves the mobility problem. Using this device,
a person is able to interconnect with any computer system which has dial-up
interconnect capability.

 EXPERIMENT NO:-4

OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this experiment is to connect the RS-232 ports of two
computers using IR transmitter and IR receiver, transmit data from one
computer and receive the same data on the other computer.

EQUIPMENTS:
DCT-03 Kit
9 Pin D connector Cables – 2 Nos.
Power Supply.
Computers – PC, Intel Celeron and above
- 2 nos. (Minimum Configuration).

THEORY:
Infrared wireless communication is achieved using transmitters/receivers
(transceivers) that modulate noncoherent infrared light. Transceivers must be
within the line of sight of each other either directly or via reflection from a light
colored surface such as the ceiling of a room.
In wireless communication, the serial data is modulated at a carrier frequency of
38 KHz. The RS-232 serial data is simply controls the carrier frequency by
turning the carrier ON/OFF according to the DC level of the serial data.
A 38 KHz carrier frequency is available during the ON time or high level of i/p
where as no carrier during OFF time or low level of i/p. This modulated signal is
fed to IR LED using a transistorized driver circuit.
The receiver is a IR detector module, which filters out the 38 KHz carrier from the
IR signal waves. Thus at the TTL OUT post of IR receiver section, the actual
serial data is being re-constructed with no carrier present. Using this
experimental set up a baud rate of 110 bps to 2400 bps can be achieved on RS-
232 serial port.
The free air IR data transmission, IR remote control as well as the most opto
electronic sensors and light barrier systems work with a wavelength between
870nm and 950nm. The emitter and detector components are highly efficient in
this near IR wavelength band and can be manufactured at low cost. Data
transmission in free space places a high demand for interference immunity on
the IR receiving modules. The receiver unit (waiting to receive signals) is loaded
with different optical and electromagnetic disturbances, omni–present in the
ambient environment or generated by the electrical appliance itself. All optical
sources with an emission spectrum in the receiving bandwidth (830nm –1100nm)
of the detector can be considered as disturbing sources. These are mainly
fluorescent lamps, incandescent lamps and sunlight. Sometimes also plasma
displays emit significantly in the optical band of the IR transmission. As emitter
for the IR signal there are various IR emitting diodes with high brightness and

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 28

efficiency available. The IR emitter with a wavelength of 950nm matches best
with the TSOP IR receivers. The maximum possible transmission distance of an
IR remote control system depends on various parameters. Mainly it is the radiant
intensity of the emitter (Ie) and the sensitivity of the receiver (Eemin). Additionally
the distance is influenced by the reflective conditions of the test room, the optical
transmittance of windows or light guides in front of the receiver and the
disturbance conditions. Of course, also the minimum possible.

 EXPERIMENT NO:-5

OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this experiment is to connect the RS-232 ports of two

EQUIPMENTS:
DCT-03 Kit
9 Pin D connector Cables – 2 Nos.
Power Supply.
1 Meter Fiber cable.
Computers – PC, Intel Celeron and above - 2 nos. (Minimum
Configuration).

THEORY:
Fiber Optic Links can be used for transmission of digital as well as analog
signals.
Basically a fiber optic link contains three main elements, a transmitter, an optical
fiber and a receiver. The transmitter module takes the input signal in electrical
form and then transforms it into optical (light) energy containing the same
information. The optical fiber is the medium which carries this energy to the
receiver. At the receiver, light is converted back into electrical form with the same
pattern as originally fed to the transmitter.

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 31

TRANSMITTER:
Fiber optic transmitters are typically composed of a buffer, driver and optical
source. The buffer provides both an electrical connection and isolation between
the transmitter and the electrical system supplying the data. The driver
electronics provides electrical power to the optical source in a fashion that
duplicates the pattern of data being fed to the transmitter. Finally the optical
source (LED) converts the electrical current to light energy with the same pattern.
The LED SFH756V supplied with the kit operates inside the visible light
spectrum. Its optical output is centered at near visible wavelength of 660 nm. The
emission spectrum is broad, so a dark red glow can usually be seen when the
LED is on.

RECEIVER:
The function of the receiver is to convert the optical energy into electrical form
which is then conditioned to reproduce the transmitted electrical signal in its
original form. We have used a photo detector SFH551V having TTL type output.
Usually it consists of PIN photodiode, transimpedance amplifier and level shifter.

FIG. 2 WAVEFORMS FOR THE TRIBIT CODING.
NON - RETURN TO ZERO signal are the easiest formats that can be
generated.These signals do not return to zero with the clock. The
frequency component associated with these signals are half that of the
clock frequency. Non-return to zero encoding is commonly used in
slow speed communications interfaces for both synchronous and
asynchronous transmission. Using NRZ, logic 1 bit is sent as a high
value and logic 0 bit is sent as a low value. The mechanism by which a
bit stream b(t) generates a QAM signal for transmission is shown in
fig. 1 and relevant waveforms are shown in fig. 2 In these waveforms
we have arbitrarily assumed that in every case the active edge of the
clock waveform is the upward edge. The D flip-flop generates three
clock waveforms. These clocks have period 3Tb. The active edge of
one of the clocks and the active edge of the other are separated by the
bit time Tb. The bit stream b(t) is applied as the data input to type-D
flip-flops, driven by the three different clock waveform. Each flip-flop
registers bits during positive transition of its clock in the bit stream
b(t) and holds each such registered bit for three bit intervals that is for
the time 3Tb. In fig. 2 we have numbered the bits in the stream b (t).
Note that the bit stream I bit (which is the output of the flip-flop
driven by the I clock) registers bit 1 and holds that bit for time 3Tb,
then register bit 4 for time 3Tb, then bit 7 for 3Tb, etc.
The next bit stream Q bit holds, for times 3Tb each, the bits numbered
2, 5, 8, etc. similarly the C bit stream holds the data bit numbered 3,

THEORY:
QAM MODULATOR
In BPSK, QPSK we transmit, in any symbol
interval, one signal or another which are distinguished from one another
in phase but are all of the same amplitude. Now we have noted that our
ability to distinguish one signal vector from another in the presence of
noise will depend on the distance between the vector end points. It is
hence rather apparent that we shall be able to improve the noise
immunity of a system by allowing the signal vectors to differ, not only in
their phase but also in amplitude. We now describe such amplitude and
phase shift keying system. Like QPSK it involves direct modulation of
carriers in quadrature and hence might be abbreviated QAPSK.
However, the accepted abbreviation is simply QASK or QAM.
The QAM is a digital modulation where the information is contained
into the phase as well as the amplitude of the transmitted carrier. In
the 8-QAM the data are divided into the group of 3 bits (tribit), one of
which will varies the amplitude of the carrier, the last two the phase.
The modulated signal can take 4 different phases and 2 different
amplitudes, for a total of 8 different states. Similarly in the 16-QAM
the data are divided into group of 4 bits (quad bit). The 16 possible
combinations change amplitude and phase of the carrier, which can
take 16 different states A generator of 8-QAM signals for 3-bit symbol
is shown in fig. 1. For 8-QAM the main data source is divided into 3
bits called I bit, Q bit and C bit. These three bits are called TRIBIT.
These tribit together generates a symbol. We can have 2^3=8
possible symbols. Among the 3 bits I and Q bit is responsible for phase
modulation and the last bit (C bit) performs the amplitude modulation.
The effect of each symbol on the final QAM signal is shown in the fig. 2.

QAM MODULATOR
Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 605) 41
The block diagram of the modulator used on the module is shown in
the diagram four 500KHz sine carriers, shifted between them of 90
deg, are applied to modulator. The data (signal I, Q AND C) reach the
modulator from the Tribit coder. The instantaneous value of I, Q and C
data bit generates a symbol. Since I, Q and C can take either 0 or 1
value, maximum 8 possible symbols can begenerated as shown in the
above table. According to the symbol generated one of the four-sine
carriers will be selected. The relation between the symbol generated
and sine carrier is shown in fig.2. A receiver for the QAM signal is
shown in diagram Synchronous detection is required and hence it is
necessary to locally regenerate the carriers. The scheme for carrier
regeneration is similar to BPSK. In that earlier case we squared the
incoming signal, extracted the waveform at twice the carrier frequency
by filtering, and recovered the carrier by frequency dividing by two. In
the present case, it is required that the incoming signal be raised to
the fourth power after which filtering recovers a waveforms at four
times the carrier.
The incoming signal also applied to the sampler followed by an adder
and envelope detectors. Two adders add the sampled QAM signal,
sampled by the Clock having different phases. At the output of adder
the signals consisting the envelope corresponds to the I and Q bit.
Envelope detector then filters the high Frequency components and

Department of ECE Data Communication Lab (EC - 603) 42

recovers I and Q bit. These recovered I and Q bits having exactly
same phase and frequency compared to transmitter I and Q
bit Pattern. The C bit is recovered simply by passing the QAM
modulated data through envelope detector. These recovered I, Q and
C bits then applied to data decoder logic to recover the original NRZ-L
data.

CONCLUSION:
In BPSK we deal individually with each bit of duration Tb. In QAM we
lump three bits together to form a SYMBOL. The symbol can have any
one of eight possible values corresponding to three-bit sequence. We
therefore arrange to make available for transmission eight distinct
signals. At the receiver each signal represents one symbol and,
correspondingly, three bits. When bits are transmitted, as in BPSK, the
signal changes occur at the bit rate. When symbols are transmitted the
changes occur at the symbol rate, which is one-third the bit rate. Thus
the symbol time is Ts = 3Tb.

stream Bo(t) (which is the output of the flip-flop driven by the odd
clock) registers bit 1 and holds that bit for time 2Tb, then register bit 3
for time 2Tb, then bit 5 for 2Tb, etc. The even bit stream be (t) holds,
for times 2Tb each, the alternates bits numbered 2, 4, 6, etc.

THEORY:
In this modulation, called Quadrature PSK (QPSK) or 4 PSK
the sine Carrier takes 4 phase values, separated of 90 deg. and
determined by the combinations of bit pair (Dibit) of the binary data
signal. The data are coded into Dibit by a circuit generating:
A) A data signal I (in phase) consisting in voltage levels corresponding
to the value of the first bit of the considered pair, for duration
equal to 2 bit intervals.
B) A data signal Q (in quadrature) consisting in voltage levels
corresponding to the value of the second bit of the pair, for
duration equal to 2 bit intervals.
The block diagram of the modulator used on the module is shown in
the block diagram. Four 500 KHz sine carriers, shifted between them
of 90 deg, are applied to modulator. The data (signal I and Q) reach
the modulator from the Dibit generator. The instantaneous value of I
and Q data bit generates a symbol.
Since I and Q can take either 0 or 1 value, maximum 4 possible
symbols can be generated (00, 01, 10, and 11). According to the
symbol generated one of the four-sine carriers will be selected. The
relation between the symbol generated and sine carrier is shown in
table.

A receiver for the QPSK signal is shown in fig. Synchronous detection

is required and hence it is necessary to locally regenerate the carriers.
The scheme for carrier regeneration is similar to that employed in
BPSK. In that earlier case we squared the incoming the signal,
extracted the waveform at twice the carrier frequency by filtering, and
recovered the carrier by frequency dividing by two. In
the present case, it is required that the incoming signal be raised to
the fourth power after which filtering recovers a waveforms at four
times the carrier. A receiver for the QPSK signal is shown in fig.

CONCLUSION :
In BPSK we deal individually with each bit of duration Tb. In QPSK we
lump two bits together to form a SYMBOL. The symbol can have any
one of four possible values corresponding to two-bit sequence 00, 01,
10, and 11. We therefore arrange to make available for transmission
four distinct signals. At the receiver each signal represents one symbol
and, correspondingly, two bits. When bits are transmitted, as in BPSK,
the signal changes occur at the bit rate. When symbols are transmitted
the changes occur at the symbol rate which is one-half the bit rate.
Thus the symbol time is Ts = 2Tb.
