Expt no-8a. STUDY OF PROPOGATION LOSS, IN OPTIACAL FIBER
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this experiment is to measure propagation or attenuation loss in optical fiber.
Block Diagram:
THEORY: Attenuation is loss of power. During transit light pulse lose of their photons, thus reducing their
amplitude. Attenuation for a fiber is usually specified in decibels per kilometer. For commercially available
fibers attenuation ranges from 1dB/km for premium small-core glass fibers to over 2000dB/km for a large
core plastic fiber. Loss is by definition negative decibels. In common usage, discussions of loss omit the
negative sign. The basic measurement for loss in a fiber is made by taking the logarithmic ratio of the input
power (P

8b. STUDY OF BENDING LOSS
OBJECTIVE:
The Objective of this experiment in to study of bending loss.
THEORY:
Whenever the condition for angle of incidence of the incident light is violated the losses are
introduced due to refraction of light. This occurs when fiber is subjected to bending. Lower the radius
of curvature more is the loss.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:
1. Repeat all the steps from 1 to 6 of the previous experiment No 7 using 1m cable.
2. Wind the FO cable on the mandrel and observe the corresponding AC amplifier output on CRO

8c. MEASUREMENT OF NUMERICAL APERTURE
OBJECTIVE:
The Objective of this experiment is to measure to the Numerical Aperture (NA) of the Fiber.
THEORY:
Numerical aperture refers to the maximum angle at which the light incident on the fiber end is totally
internally reflected and is transmitted properly along the fiber. The cone formed by the rotation of this
angle along the axis of the fiber is the cone of acceptance of the fiber. The light ray should strike the fiber
end within its cone of acceptance else it is refracted out of the fiber.
Consideration in NA measurement:
It is very important that the optical source should be properly aligned with the cable and the distance from
the launched point & cable be properly selected to ensure that the maximum amount of optical power is
transferred to the cable.
Equipments:
1. Numerical Aperture measurement Jig.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:
1. Connect power supply to the board.
2. Connect the frequency generators 1 KHz sine wave output to input of emitter 1 circuit. Adjust its
amplitude at 5V p-p.
3. Connect one end of fiber cable to the output socket of emitter 1 circuit and the other end to the
Numerical aperture measurement jig. Hold the white screen facing the fiber such that its cut face is
perpendicular to the axis of the fiber.
4. Hold the white screen with 4 concentric circles (10, 15, 20 & 25mm diameter) vertically at a suitable
distance to make the red spot from the fiber coincide with 10mm circle.

THEORY:
Directional coupler is four port waveguide junction consisting of 2 primary waveguide (Port 1 & 2) and
secondary waveguide (Ports 3 & 4). When all ports are terminated in either characteristic impedance, there
is free transmission of power without reflection between port1 and port2 and there is no transmission of
power between port1 and port3 or between 2 & 4. Because no coupling exists between these two pairs of
ports. These are 3 directional coupler 3dB directional coupler, 10dB and 15dB branch line directional

Amount of power lost to the coupled port (3) and to the isolated port (4). Assuming a reasonable
directivity, the power transferred unintentionally to the isolated port will be negligible compared to
that transferred intentionally to coupled port.

Resistive loss due to heating (separate from coupling loss). This value is added to the theoretical
reduction in power that is transferred to the coupled and isolated ports (coupling loss).
Directivity
Power level difference between Port 3 and Port 4 (related to isolation). This is a measure of how
independent the coupled and isolated ports are. Because it is impossible to build a perfect coupler,
there will always be some amount of unintended coupling between all the signal paths.
Isolation Power level difference between Port 1 and Port 4 (related to directivity).

EXPT N0-11. Study of Antenna Radiation Patterns (Simple, Folded Dipole)
AIM:
To determine Antenna Radiation pattern, Beam width and Front To back Ratio of Simple dipole and Folded
dipole antennas.
EXPERIMENTAL SET UP
THEORY:
Antennas can be broadly classified by the directions in which they radiate or receive electromagnetic
radiation. They can be isotropic, omnidirectional or directional. An Isotropic antenna is a hypothetical
antenna that radiates uniformly in all directions so that the electric field at any point on a sphere has the
same magnitude. Such radiation cannot be realized in practice since in order to radiate uniformly in all
directions an isotropic antenna would have to be a point source.
A directional antenna radiates most of its power in one particular direction examples of directional antennas
are Yagi UDA, log-Periodic and helical.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
Experiment A
1) Arrange the setup as shown in figure.
2) Mount simple dipole (/2) on the transmission mask.
3) Bring the detector assembling near to main unit and adjust height of both transmitting and receiving
antenna same.
4) Keep detector away from main unit approximately 1.5 meter and align both of them.
5) Keep the RF level and FS adjust to minimum level and directional coupler switch to FWD.
6) Keep detector level control in the center approximately.
7) Increase the RF level gradually and see there is a deflection the detector meter.
Advanced Communication Lab Manual-10ECL67
Dept. of E&C, Canara Engineering College, Mangalore. Page 36
8) Adjust RF level and detector level so that deflection in detector meter is approximately 30-35A.
9) Align arrow mark on the disk with zero of the gonio meter scale.
10) Start taking the reading at the interval of 5 or 10degre.
11) Convert micro ampere reading into dB, with the help of conversion chart.
12) Plot the polar graph in degrees of rotation of antenna against level in the detector in dBs.
13) From the graph calculate: a) beam width
b) front/back ratio
c) Gain of antenna
14) To calculate these from the graph proceed as follows.
Beam width:
1. Look for main lobe
2. Draw bore sight maxima line AA
3. Mark -3dB from maximum on the bore sight line point B
4. Draw an arc of radius AB
5. This arc will intersect main lobe at CD
6. Measure angle CAD. This angle is -3Db beam width.
Front to Back Ratio
1. Look for main lobe
2. Draw bore sight maxima line AA
3. Look for back lobe if any (at 180deg)
4. If no back lobe then front to back ratio =AA/1 dB
5. If there is back lobe then measure AE, where E is the maxima of back lobe then
6. front to back ratio = AA/AE dB
GAIN OF ANTENNA = Maximum radiation intensity
= AA/1 dB
Experiment B
Replace /2 antenna with /4 antenna and follow the steps given in Experiment A.

EXPT N0-12. Measurement of directivity and gain of antennas: Standard dipole (or
printed dipole), microstrip patch antenna and Yagi antenna (printed).
Aim:
To find the directivity and gain of Antennas.
Apparatus required:
1. Microwave Generator
2. SWR Meter
3. Detector
4. RF Amplifier
5. Transmitter and receiving mast
6. Mains cord
7. Antennas
o Yagi Antenna (Dielectric Constant: 4.7) - 2 no.
o Dipole Antenna (Dielectric Constant: 4.7) - 1 no.
o Patch Antenna (Dielectric Constant: 3.02) - 1 no.
Theory:
If a transmission line propagating energy is left open at one end, there will be radiation from this end. The
Radiation pattern of an antenna is a diagram of field strength or more often the power intensity as a function
of the aspect angle at a constant distance from the radiating antenna. An antenna pattern is of course three
dimensional but for practical reasons it is normally presented as a two dimensional pattern in one or several
planes. An antenna pattern consists of several lobes, the main lobe, side lobes and the back lobe. The major
power is concentrated in the main lobe and it is required to keep the power in the side lobes arid back lobe as
low as possible. The power intensity at the maximum of the main lobe compared to the power intensity
achieved from an imaginary omni-directional antenna (radiating equally in all directions) with the same
power fed to the antenna is defined as gain of the antenna.
As we know that the 3dB beamwidth is the angle between the two points on a main lobe where the power
intensity is half the maximum power intensity.
When measuring an antenna pattern, it is normally most interesting to plot the pattern far from the antenna.
It is also very important to avoid disturbing reflection. Antenna measurements are normally made at
anechoic chambers made of absorbing materials.
Antenna measurements are mostly made with unknown antenna as receiver. There are several methods to
measure the gain of antenna. One method is to compare the unknown antenna with a standard gain antenna
Advanced Communication Lab Manual-10ECL67
Dept. of E&C, Canara Engineering College, Mangalore. Page 39
with known gain. Another method is to use two identical antennas, as transmitter and other as receiver. From
following formula the gain can be calculated.
Where, P
t
is transmitted power
P
r
is received Power,
G
1
, G
2
is gain of transmitting and receiving antenna
S is the radial distance between two antennas
o is free space wave length.
If both, transmitting and receiving antenna are identical having gain G then above equation becomes.
In the above equation P
t
, P
r
and S and o can be measured and gain can be computed. As is evident from the
above equation, it is not necessary to know the absolute value of P
t
and P
r
only ratio is required which can be
measured by SWR meter.
Setup for Directivity measurement

Procedure:
Directivity Measurement:
1. Connect a mains cord to the Microwave Generator and SWR Meter.
2. Now connect a Yagi antenna in horizontal plane to the transmitter mast and connect it to the RF
Output of microwave generator using a cable (SMA to SMA).
3. Set both the potentiometer (Mod Freq & RF Level) at fully clockwise position.
4. Now take another Yagi antenna and RF Amplifier from the given suitcase.
5. Connect the input terminal of the Amplifier to the antenna in horizontal plane using an SMA (male)
to SMA (female) L Connector.
6. Now connect the output of the Amplifier to the input of Detector and mount the detector at the
Receiving mast.
7. Connect one end of the cable (BNC to BNC) to the bottom side of receiving mast, and another end to
the input of SWR meter.
8. Now set the distance between Transmitter (feed point) and the receiver (receiving point) at half
meter.

9. Now set the receiving antenna at zero degree (in line of Transmitter) and Switch on the power supply
for Microwave Generator, SWR Meter. Also connect DC Adapter of RF Amplifier to the mains.
10. Select the transmitter for internal AM mode and press the switch RF On.
11. Select the range switch at SWR meter at 40dB position with normal mode.
12. Set both the gain potentiometers (Coarse & Fine) at fully clockwise position and input select switch
should be at 200 Ohm position. In case if reading is not available at 40dB range then press 200
kOhm (Input Select) to get high gains reading.
13. Now set any value of received gain at 40dB position with the help of -
o Frequency of the Microwave Generator.
o Modulation frequency adjustment.
o Adjusting the distance between Transmitter and Receiver.
14. With these adjustments you can increase or decrease the gain.
15. Mark the obtained reading on the radiation pattern plot at zero degree position.
16. Now slowly move the receiver antenna in the steps of 10 degree and plot the corresponding readings.
17. This will give the radiation pattern of the antenna under test.
18. Directivity of the antenna is the measures of power density an actual antenna radiates in the direction
of its strongest emission, so if the maximum power of antenna (in dB) is received at u degree then
directivity will be ....................dB at ........................Degree.
19. In the same way you can measure the directivity of the Dipole antenna.
20. For directivity measurement of the transformer fed Patch antenna connect transmitter Yagi antenna
in the vertical plane (Patch Antenna is vertically polarized). Since it is comparatively low gain
antenna distance can be reduced between transmitter and receiver.
Gain Measurement:
1. Connect a power cable to the Microwave Generator and SWR Meter.
2. Now connect a Yagi antenna in horizontal plane to the transmitter mast and connect it to the RF
Output of microwave generator using a cable (SMA to SMA).
3. Set both the potentiometer (Mod Freq & RF Level) at fully clockwise position.
4. Now take another Yagi antenna from the given suitcase.
5. Connect this antenna to the detector with the help of SMA (male) to SMA (female) L Connector.
6. Connect detector to the receiving mast.
7. Connect one end of the cable (BNC to BNC) to the bottom side of receiving mast, and another end to
the input of SWR meter.
Advanced Communication Lab Manual-10ECL67
Dept. of E&C, Canara Engineering College, Mangalore. Page 42
8. Now set the distance between Transmitter (feed point) and the receiver (receiving point) at half
meter.
9. Now set the receiving antenna at zero degree (in line of Transmitter) and Switch on the power from
both Generator & SWR Meter.
10. Select the transmitter for internal AM mode and press the switch RF On.
11. Select the range switch at SWR meter at 40dB position with normal mode.
12. Set both the gain potentiometers (Coarse & Fine) at fully clockwise position and input select switch
should be at 200 Ohm position. In case if reading is not available at 40dB range then press 200
kOhm (Input Select) to gets high gain reading.
13. Now set the maximum gain in the meter with the help of following -
o Frequency of the Microwave Generator.
o Modulation frequency adjustment.
o Adjusting the distance between Transmitter and Receiver.
14. Measure and record the received power in dB.
Pr = ..................dB
15. Now remove the detector from the receiving end and also remove the transmitting Yagi antenna from
RF output.
16. Now connect the RF output directly to detector without disturbing any setting of the transmitter
(SMA-F to SMA-F connector can be used for this).
17. Observe the output of detector on SWR meter that will be the transmitting power Pt.
Pt = ..................dB
18. Calculate the difference in dB between the power measured in step 14 and 17 which will be the
power ratio Pt/Pr .
Pt/Pr = ........................
Pr/Pt = ........................
19. Now we know that the formula for Gain of the antenna is:
Advanced Communication Lab Manual-10ECL67
Dept. of E&C, Canara Engineering College, Mangalore. Page 43
Where:
P
t
is transmitted power
P
r
is received Power,
G
is gain of transmitting/receiving antenna (since we have used two identical antennas)
S is the radial distance between two antennas
o is free space wave length (approximately 12.5cm).
20. Now put the measured values in the above formula and measure the gain of the antenna which will
be same for both the antennas. Now after this step you can connect one known gain antenna at
transmitter end and the antenna under test at receiver end, to measure the gain of the antennas.
21. Gain can be measured with the help of absolute power meter also (Recommended Model NV105).
for this detector will not be used and directly the power sensor can be connected to both the ends as
described earlier.

Objective: To Study the relationship between the input signal and received signal in a 650 nm Fiber
Optic Analog Link.
Equipments Required:
1. ST2501 Trainer with power supply cord
2. Optical Fiber cable
3. Cathode ray oscilloscope with necessary connecting probe
Connection Diagram:
Theory:
In fiber optic communication systems, lasers are used to transmit messages in numeric code by
flashing on and off at high speeds. This code can constitute a voice or an electronic file containing,
text, numbers, or illustrations, all by using fiber optics. The light from many lasers are added
together onto a single fiber optic enabling thousands of currents of data to pass through a single fiber
optic cable at one time. This data will travel through the fiber optics and into interpreting devices to
convert the messages back into the form of its original signals. Industries also use fiber optics to
measure temperatures, pressure, acceleration and voltage, among an assortment of other uses.

Optic Digital Link.
Equipments Required:
1. ST2501 Trainer with power supply cord
2. Optical Fiber cable
3. Cathode ray oscilloscope with necessary connecting probe
Connection Diagram:
Theory:
In fiber optic communication systems, lasers are used to transmit messages in numeric code by
flashing on and off at high speeds. This code can constitute a voice or an electronic file containing,
text, numbers, or illustrations, all by using fiber optics. The light from many lasers are added
together onto a single fiber optic enabling thousands of currents of data to pass through a single fiber
optic cable at one time. This data will travel through the fiber optics and into interpreting devices to
convert the messages back into the form of its original signals. Industries also use fiber optics to
measure temperatures, pressure, acceleration and voltage, among an assortment of other uses.

EXPT N0-14. PCM Generation and Detection using CODEC Chip
Objective: Study of PCM Generation and Demodulation of analog signal
Equipments Required:
1. ST2123 PCM Generation & Demodulation using CODEC Chip
2. 2 mm Patch chords
3. Oscilloscope Caddo 803 or equivalent with connecting cable
Theory:
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is an extension of PAM wherein each analog sample value is
quantized into a discrete value for representation as a digital code word. Thus, as shown below, a
PAM system can be converted into a PCM system by adding a suitable analogue-to-digital (A/D)
converter at the source and a digital-to-analogue (D/A) converter at the destination. PCM is a true
digital process as compared to PAM. In PCM the speech signal is converted from analogue to
digital form. In Pulse Modulation, analog message is transmitted in discrete time. First of all,
sampling of the message signal should be performed. Considering the sampling process, the
sampled signal appears as a train of samples which is a form of PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation)
signal. When M levels are used to quantize this signal, this modulation is called M-PAM. If those
pulses were converted to digital numbers, then the train of numbers so generated would be called as
Pulse Code Modulated.
PCM signal. In PCM, modulation process is executed in three steps:
1. Sampling
2. Quantizing
3. Coding
These steps are shown below with a block diagram:
