    Motivation for Communication System Course

    Many courses in communications traditionally focus onclassical communication theorywith little attention given toactual implementation aspects of analog or digital systems.For the most part, the hardware implementation ispredisposed to the electronics curriculum. Thecommunication systems course (COMM 704) is a newcourse for communication students in the faculty of IET. Inthis course the theoretical aspects of communicationssystems are combined with integrated circuitimplementation, make the theory of communications

    systems come to real life using a design, build, and testprocess.

    Course Description

    This course introduces the fundamentals of electroniccommunication systems. Topics include AM/FM/TV radiosystems, digital and spread spectrum communicationsystems, with strong emphasis on electronic circuits usedin these communications systems. Upon completion,students should be able to interpret analog and digital

    communication circuit diagrams, analyze transmitter andreceiver circuits, and use appropriate communication testequipment.

    2. AM Transmitter Block diagram of a simple AM signal transmitter is shown in Fig.2. Theamplitude modulation is being performed in the modulator. Two signalsare entering it: HF signal called the carrier (or the signal carrier), being

    created into the HF oscillator and amplified in the HF amplifier to therequired signal level, and the LF (modulating) signal coming from the

    microphone or some other LF signal source (cassette player, recordplayer, CD player etc.), being amplified in the LF amplifier. Onmodulator's output the amplitude modulated signal xAM (t) is acquired.

    This signal is then amplified in the power amplifier, and then led to the

    emission antenna.

    Fig.2 AM Transmitter Block diagram

    To implement this simple AM

    transmitter; we need to thefollowing electronic circuits:

    1. Small Signal Amplifiers (LFand HF Amplifiers)

    2. Large Signal Amplifiers

    (Power Amplifiers)

    3. Oscillators (Square-

    Triangular- Sinusoidal)

    4. AM Modulator ( Multiplier andadder)

    3. FM Transmitter

    Block diagram of an FM transmitter is shown in Fig.3. The modulating signal, is a signal from some LF source.it is being amplified in LF amplifier and then led into the HF voltage controlled oscillator, where the carriersignal is being created. The carrier is a HF voltage of constant amplitude, whose frequency is, in the absence

    of modulating signal, equal to the transmitter's carrier frequency fC. In the oscillatory circuit of the HF VCO a

    varicap (capacitive) diode is located. It is a diode whose capacitance depends upon the voltage between itsends, so when being exposed to LF voltage, its capacitance is changing in accordance with this voltage. Dueto that frequency of the oscillator is also changing, i.e. the frequency modulation is being obtained. The FM

    signal from the HF oscillator is being proceeded to the power amplifier that provides the necessary outputpower of the transmission signal.

    Fig.3 FM Transmitter Block diagram

    To implement this simple FMtransmitter; we need to the

    following electronic circuits:

    1. Small Signal Amplifiers (LF

    and HF Amplifiers)

    2. Large Signal Amplifiers

    (Power Amplifiers)

    3. Voltage controlled Oscillator

    4. AM and FM radio frequencies

    The AM radio carrier frequencies are in the frequency

    range 535-1605 kHz. Carrier frequencies of 540 to 1600kHz are assigned at 10 kHz intervals.

    The FM radio band is from 88 to108 MHz between VHF televisionChannels 6 and 7. The FM stationsare assigned center frequencies at200 kHz separation starting at 88.1

    MHz, for a maximum of 100stations. These FM stations have a75 kHz maximum deviation from thecenter frequency, which leaves 25kHz upper and lower "gaurd bands"

    to minimize interaction with theadjacent frequency band.

    The different radio stations sharethe frequency spectrum over the airthrough AM and FM modulation.

    Sharing the AM/FM radio spectrumis achieved through FrequencyDivision Multiplexing (FDM).

    Different audio sources have different bandwidth W: Speech- 4kHz, High quality music-15kHz. AM radio limits baseband bandwidth W=5kHz. FM radio uses baseband bandwidthW=15kHz.

    Transmission bandwidth BT is the bandwidth occupied by a message signal in the radiofrequency spectrum. For AM : BT=2W , for FM BT 2W (1+); Carson Rule.
