General DescriptionThe Analog Communications Training Systems form a comprehensive program that enables instructors to teach the principles of analog communications, both in theory and in practice, using a variety of training environments.
The Analog Communications Training Systems allow students to perform voltage and signal measurements, alignment calibration, and signal flow tracing. Students can build a communications system by connecting a generator to a receiver using a coaxial cable, which becomes the communication channel (or link). Coaxial cables eliminate radiation and noise interference. If a wireless system is desired, antennas can be used in place of the coaxial cable. Tests are performed on the complete system to ensure proper operation according to system standards and specifications. Noise can also be introduced to simulate atmospheric disturbances and to provide realistic signal-to-noise ratio evaluation.
Once a communication system is set up, students can study such general system functions as interaction between individual units caused by circuit loading, matching, and tuning. A Spectrum Analyzer, Model 9405, allows students to observe and analyze base-band signals, as well as radio and intermediate frequency (RF and IF) signals in the frequency domain. Power for each module is distributed through self-aligning connectors when the modules are stacked. The Power Supply/Dual Audio Amplifier, Model 9401, is the base module of the systems.

Instrumentation ModulesThe six instrumentation modules of the Analog Communications Training Systems are:
• Model 9401 – Power Supply / Dual Audio Amplifier• Model 9402 – Dual Function Generator• Model 9403 – Frequency Counter• Model 9404 – True RMS Voltmeter / Power Meter• Model 9405 – Spectrum Analyzer• Model 9406 – RF / Noise Generator
These modules are designed for skills training in telecommunications and are part of the Analog and Digital Communications Systems. Each instrument is fully protected against short circuits and misconnections made by the student.
The operation and use of these instruments is covered in Volume 1, Instrumentation, of the Analog Communications Training System. Later in the same program, and in the Digital Communications Training System, Model 8085, students use the instruments to make measurements in laboratory experiments performed on AM, FM, and digital communications systems.
The Frequency Counter, True RMS Voltmeter / Power Meter, and Spectrum Analyzer mentioned above can be replaced with the Data Acquisition and Management for Telecommunications (LVDAM-COM), Model 9407. The LVDAM-COM system is a modern and versatile equipment for measuring, observing, and analyzing signals in telecommunications systems. It consists of a set of computer-based instruments running on a Pentium-type
personal computer under the Microsoft® Windows™ operating environment. Note that the LVDAM-COM system also includes a dual trace oscilloscope with a 40-MHz bandwidth.
Instructional ModulesThe six instructional modules of the Analog Communications Training Systems are:
• Model 9410 – AM/DSB/SSB Generator• Model 9411 – AM/DSB Receiver• Model 9412 – SSB Receiver• Model 9413 – Direct FM Multiplex Generator• Model 9414 – Indirect FM/PM Generator• Model 9415 - FM/PM Receiver
Fault switches and test points inside the modules allow fault insertion and observation of signals at various stages in the circuit. Both the fault switches and the test points are accessed through a hinged panel in the top cover. A small, hinged, lockable cover inside the module limits access to the fault switches.
All system modules are stackable with the Power Supply / Dual Audio Amplifier, Model 9401, in the bottom position. Self-aligning, multi-pin connectors located at the top and bottom of each module distribute power throughout the system. When used with the Power Supply / Dual Audio Amplifier, the instructional modules are effectively protected against all misconnections and short circuits.

Frequency Counter 9403-00
The Frequency Counter is a direct-counting frequency counter with an 8-digit display. The frequency counter has three functions: it determines the frequency of the input signal and displays the frequency in Hz, kHz, or MHz, it determines the period of the
input signal and displays the period in s or ms, and it works as an event counter when the counter function is selected. The frequency/period resolution is switch-selectable from 0.1 to 100 Hz (0.1 to 100 ns). As an event counter, each negative-going transition of the input signal adds one to the cumulative count displayed. The input signal may be attenuated by a switch attenuator.

Spectrum Analyzer 9405-00
The Spectrum Analyzer is used for signal observation of the communications system in the frequency domain. It is a frequency-selective instrument that allows the power level of each frequency component of a signal to be displayed on a regular oscilloscope: a dual trace
oscilloscope or a single trace oscilloscope with an external sweep input having a sensitivity of 1 V/div. is required. The Spectrum Analyzer has two selectable input frequency ranges: dc to 30 MHz, and 85 to 115 MHz. The center frequency is indicated on a 3½ digit display. The Spectrum Analyzer has an output for use with the optional Dual Trace Oscilloscope, Model 797, or the X-Y Recorder, Model 9492.
Two digital memories of 1024 horizontal points by 256 vertical levels provide a stable display at a refresh rate of 30 Hz. The frequency span is switch-selectable in five ranges from 2 kHz to 1 MHz per volt. With the oscilloscope set at 1 V/div., total spans of 20 kHz to 10 MHz are possible.
The bandwidth resolution is automatically optimized between 100 Hz and 50 kHz. Inputs to the spectrum analyzer may be attenuated by 40 dB in five steps. The input impedance is switch-selectable between 50 Ω and 1 MΩ. The input signal may be displayed in linear or logarithmic form (10 dB/V) up to a maximum display range of 60 dB.
The module is fully protected against short circuits and misconnections. Students use the instruments to make measurements in laboratory experiments performed on AM, FM, and digital communications systems.

The RF/Noise Generator contains two independent generators capable of generating a tone signal in the frequency range from 100 kHz to 32 MHz and a "white" noise signal in selected frequency bands from 0 to 11.2 MHz. The radio frequency (RF) generator produces a signal output in five frequency ranges to cover the frequencies in the analog
communications system. This generator has FM and AM capabilities.
The noise generator provides white noise in five independent frequency bands. The noise output may be used for measuring the frequency response of filters or the signal-to-noise ratio in any part of the system.
The module is fully protected against short circuits and misconnections. Students use the instruments to make measurements in laboratory experiments performed on AM, FM, and digital communications systems.

The Data Acquisition and Management for Telecommunications (LVDAM-COM) is a computer-based system for measuring, observing, and analyzing signals in telecommunications systems. It allows training in both analog and digital telecommunications systems using modern and versatile measuring instruments. A user manual
provided with the LVDAM-COM system allows students to quickly familiarize with the instruments.
The LVDAM-COM system consists of the Virtual Test Equipment Interface module and the Data Acquisition and Management for Telecommunications software (LVDAM-COM). The LVDAM-COM system is a standard feature in the Analog Communications Training System with LVDAM-COM, Model 8080-A, and Digital Communications Training System with LVDAM-COM, Model 8085-B.
The LVDAM-COM system can replace the conventional instruments (Frequency Counter, Model 9403, True-RMS Voltmeter / Power Meter, Model 9404, and Spectrum Analyzer, Model 9405) in the Analog Communications Training System, Model 8080, and Digital Communications Training System, Model 8085-1.
Virtual Test Equipment Interface
The Virtual Test Equipment Interface (VTEI) module links the personal computer running the LVDAM-COM software with the Analog and Digital Training Systems. Data exchange between the VTEI module and the personal computer is made through a standard parallel port. The VTEI module is designed to meet the high frequency signal requirements for communications systems. It provides the necessary hardware to implement a dual trace oscilloscope, a Spectrum analyzer, a true-RMS voltmeter, and a frequency counter. All inputs are fitted with BNC connectors and are fully protected against short circuits and misconnections made by the students. An instruction manual provides detailed information about the VTEI module.

LVDAM-COM Software
The LVDAM-COM software consists of a complete set of instruments. Each instrument appears as a window on the computer screen. Computer-based instruments provide instructors with the opportunity to clearly demonstrate concepts that are usually presented using traditional textbook methods and static drawings. They also enhance the overall presentation of course material with built-in capabilities for waveform observation, data storage, and graph plotting. The various instruments of the LVDAM-COM system are briefly described in the next section of this data sheet.
The LVDAM-COM software can operate in either of the following modes: acquisition and simulation. In the acquisition mode, the input signals are measured by the VTEI module and then transmitted to the LVDAM-COM software through the computer’s parallel port. In the simulation mode, input signals are generated by the
computer using user-defined simulation parameters. When used in conjunction with the LVSIM®-COM - Virtual Laboratory Equipment for Analog Communications, Model 9480, a third mode, referred to as virtuality, is available. In this mode, input signals are generated by the computer using simulation parameters that are
produced by the LVSIM®-COM software. See the data sheet of Model 9480 for additional information.
The LVDAM-COM software configuration, the recorded data, and the user-defined simulation parameters can be saved to files. All display screens obtained with LVDAM-COM can be printed out or pasted in any document.
Frequency Counter
The Frequency Counter has three functions. It can measure the frequency of the input signal and display the frequency in Hz, kHz, or MHz. It can determine the period of
the input signal and displays the result in ns, μs, or ms. It can also be used as an event counter. The Frequency Counter resolution is software-selectable from 0.1 to 100 Hz.
True RMS Voltmeter
The True RMS Voltmeter is a dual function instrument that can measure the true RMS voltage or power of telecommunications signals. Voltage
and power can be measured using any one of four software-selectable ranges (10 mV, 100 mV, 1 V, 10 V, and -27 dBm, -7 dBm, +13 dBm, +33 dBm).

Spectrum Analyzer
The Spectrum Analyzer is used for frequency-domain observation of telecommunications signals. It is a frequency-selective instrument that allows the power level of the frequency components in the input signal to be displayed on a graduated screen. The Spectrum Analyzer has two selectable frequency ranges: 0 to
30 MHz, and 85 to 115 MHz. The center frequency can be selected directly by typing the frequency on the keyboard or by using the special Seek function which locates the closest spectral component within the selected frequency range. The total frequency span of the main screen can be varied from 20 kHz to 10 MHz.
The Spectrum Analyzer includes a special window which allows the student to visualize all the spectral information contained in the selected frequency range. A portion of this spectral data can be zoomed in the main screen for precise analysis. The input impedance is selectable between 50 Ω and 1 MΩ. The input signal can be displayed using linear or logarithmic scales up to a maximum display range of 60 dB.
Oscilloscope
The Oscilloscope is used for time-domain observation of telecommunications signals. It has two input channels and an external-trigger input. The Oscilloscope has the same features as a conventional oscilloscope (scales, time bases, trigger level, channel math, X & Y display), to which have been added
digital properties such as auto scaling, cursors, waveforms memorization capabilities, and more.
Data Table and Graph
The Data Table window interacts with the four other computer-based instruments (Oscilloscope, Spectrum Analyzer, Frequency Counter, and True RMS Voltmeter) to record data in a table. Each of the four instruments contains a data area, and each cell in that data area can be linked to a column of the Data Table. With the press of a button, the data contained in the instrument is transferred into
the Data Table. Once data is acquired, different graphs can be generated using the Graph Window.

AM/DSB/SSB Generator 9410-00
The AM/DSB/SSB Generator provides training in AM, DSB and SSB transmission. There are two signal outputs from the module: an AM or DSB signal is produced at one, and an SSB signal is produced at the other. The base-band input signal is common to both outputs.
The AM/DSB generator operates in the commercial AM broadcast band of 535 to 1605 kHz, while the SSB generator produces radio signals in the 80 meter (3.7 to 4.0 MHz) band reserved for amateur radio operators.
The AM/DSB function allows experimentation with techniques related to amplitude modulation and the effects of linear and non-linear overmodulation. The student is able to observe the information contained in the sidebands and to show the effect of carrier suppression (up to 40 dB) in DSB generation.
The SSB function and the relationship between the SSB signal and the AM or DSB signals can be clearly demonstrated. Modern techniques of sideband generation using a suppressed carrier modulator are investigated. Sideband filtering techniques and power amplification are demonstrated. Use of the beat frequency oscillator (BFO) and variable frequency oscillator (VFO) in the generation of an SSB signal are also studied.

AM/DSB Receiver 9411-00
The AM/DSB Receiver teaches the steps involved in AM- and DSB-modulated RF signal reception. The receiver can have as input the AM/DSB/SSB Generator signals or radio signals received via an antenna.
The RF input signal with a frequency between 535 to 1605 kHz is applied through a BNC connector and may be connected to the AM/DSB/SSB Generator. A high-impedance input is furnished for connection to an external antenna. Connectors allow the study of intermediate signals in the RF section, at the mixer output, at the intermediate frequency (IF) output, and at the audio output. The audio output allows observation of the demodulated signal.
Students may easily observe the action of the automatic gain control (AGC) and the operation of the various detectors: envelope (ENV), synchronous (SYNC), and Costas loop (COSTAS). Students may observe the audio output signal directly or measure it with the instrumentation modules.

SSB Receiver 9412-00
The SSB Receiver offers instruction in SSB reception techniques and may be used with the AM / DSB / SSB Generator to establish a transmitter-receiver system. The SSB signal may be injected via one of two inputs: a low-impedance input for signals from the AM / DSB / SSB Generator, or a
high-impedance input for signals from an external antenna.
The receiver operates in the frequency band from 3.7 to 4.0 MHz using two frequency conversion stages. The first (RF section) stage contains a VFO, adjustable between 4.2 and 4.5 MHz. The second (IF section) stage contains the BFO, the frequency of which is adjustable between 450 and 460 kHz. The SSB receiver contains an AGC circuit and an auxiliary input to inject a signal directly into the IF stage. Connectors allow students to study the RF output signal at the VFO output, the mixer output, the IF output, the BFO output, and the audio output.

Direct FM Multiplex Generator 9413-00
The Direct FM Multiplex Generator offers practical experience in the techniques of direct FM modulation. Multiplexed audio input signals form FM stereo modulation of a carrier in the commercial FM frequency band of 88 to 108 MHz. Switchable 75-μs pre-emphasis can be added to the left and right stereo signal inputs to increase
the signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver.
A third audio output allows modulation of a VCO around a center frequency of 67 kHz (used for subsidiary communications authorization, SCA, service in some countries). The VCO frequency can also be varied between 25 and 100 kHz. Each multiplexed signal forming the baseband signal (L + R, L - R, 19 kHz pilot, and SCA signals) can be switched on or off. A separate control allows level adjustment of each signal, so that students can observe the effect of signal amplitude on carrier deviation.
An auxiliary input permits direct injection of a signal into the baseband. Observation of the group of signals that make up the baseband signal is possible via the MUX output. Through the front panel controls, the phase, maximum carrier deviation, and the RF amplification level of the 19 kHz pilot signal can be varied. An FM generator frequency control and a switch to invert the L + R and L - R signals are located inside the module.

Indirect FM/PM Generator 9414-00
The Indirect FM/PM Generator is designed to teach the techniques used in indirect generation of FM and phase-modulated (PM) signals. With the indirect method, either a PM or an FM signal can be produced using a
phase modulator. Frequency modulation occurs when the audio signal is passed through an integrator before being sent to the phase modulator.
Narrowband frequency modulation (NBFM), wideband frequency modulation (WBFM), and phase modulation can all be performed with the indirect FM/PM Generator. The frequency of the generated RF signal is 10.7 MHz for NBFM and PM, and 101.7 MHz in WBFM.
The PM signal is generated by the Armstrong Method. Gain controls are provided to adjust the level of the PM, NBFM, and WBFM signals at their respective outputs. Modulation is carried out at the frequency of the base oscillator. BNC connectors, at both the mixer and amplifier outputs, provide a means to observe the modulated signals before they are multiplied and output at 101.7 MHz.

FM/PM Receiver 9415-10
The FM/PM Receiver offers training in multiplex and wideband FM (covering commercial broadcast techniques), narrowband FM (widely used in commercial and military communications systems), and PM reception. PM reception is used in such applications as satellite
communications, data communications, over narrowband communications systems, telephone lines, microwave communications lines and links.
When the FM/PM Receiver is connected with the Direct FM Multiplex Generator, a complete commercial FM system is established. Students can readily see the effects of stereo signal generation, multiplexing techniques, and modulation. When the FM/PM Receiver is connected to the Indirect FM/PM Generator, a narrowband FM communications link is established, allowing the student to explore the generation and reception of narrowband FM and PM signals.
RF inputs to the receiver are between 88 and 108 MHz for stereo and wideband FM, and 10.7 MHz for narrowband FM and PM. A demodulated audio signal is available at the NBFM audio output when a signal is injected at the RF input. When the output of the crystal discriminator is connected to the input of the integrator, a demodulated audio signal is available at the PM audio output.
The WBFM section is equipped with two 50 Ω RF inputs, a balanced 300 Ω RF input for an external antenna connection, and an RF tuning knob which allows tuning across the 88- to 108-MHz band.
A 3-LED tuning indicator and a 10-LED bar graph display (indicating received signal level) facilitate accurate tuning. The presence of the 19 kHz pilot signal illuminates an LED also. A 2½ digit display can show the frequency deviation of the received WBFM or NBFM signals. These meters are often used on modern communications receivers.
Receiver outputs for FM left and right stereophonic channels, monophonic FM, NBFM, and PM are provided, as well as an SCA channel audio output, often used for background music programming.
