AM TRANSMITTER

In an AM (amplitude modulation) transmitter the amplitude (strength) of the carrier wave is varied in proportion to the modulation signal. In an FM (frequency modulation) transmitter the frequency of the carrier is varied by the modulation signal.

There are two basic configuration for transmitters.
  • High level modulation
  • low level modulation 
High level modulation

In high power modulation signal,the carrier voltage is modulated at highest power level.the require power level is obtained by class c power amplifier.The block diagram of high level modulation as shown in fig(a).




low level modulation

In the low level modulation system, the carrier is modulated at low power level and the carrier power is subsequently raised to the desire level in the class B amplifier . transmitters using high power level are widely use at present .The block diagram of high level modulation as shown in fig(b).








advantage


  • AM signal are reflected back to earth from ionosphere layer. Due to this fact, AM signals can reach far places which are thousands of miles from source. Hence AM radio has coverage wider compare to FM radio.
  • It is use in both digital and analog communication.
  • AM transmitters are less complex .
  • AM receivers are simple, detection is easy .
  • AM receivers are cost efficient .
  • AM waves can travel a longer distance .
  • Low bandwidth

disadvantage

  1. Power wastage takes place in DSB-FC transmission
  2. DSB-FC system is bandwidth inefficient system
  3. AM wave gets affected due to noise

application 

  1. Radio broadcasting
  2. Picture transmission in a TV system.

Psk modulation block diagram .

-
Image
Phase-shift keying (PSK) is a digital modulation scheme that conveys data by changing, or modulating, the phase of a reference signal (the carrier wave) any digital modulation scheme uses a finite number of distinct signals to represent digital data. PSK uses a finite number of phases, each assigned a unique pattern of binary digits. Usually, each phase encodes an equal number of bits. Each pattern of bits forms the symbol that is represented by the particular phase.

Frequency division multiplexing (fdm)

Image
Frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) is a scheme in which numerous signals are combined for transmission on a single communications line or channel. Each signal is assigned a different frequency within the main channel. Transmitter Receiver       Advantage •           It does not need synchronization between its transmitter and receiver. •          Frequency division  multiplexing is simpler and easy demodulation.. •          It is used for analog signals. •          A large number of signals (channels) can be transmitted simultaneously Disadvantage   It is suffers problem of cross-talk.   It is used only when a few low speed channels are desired.   Intermodulation distortion takes place.     Application •        It is used to public telephones and in cable TV systems. •       It is used in broad casting. •       It is used in AM and FM broadcasting.

YAGI ANTENNA

  YAGI ANTENNA  The location  and the length of the director and reflector element are critical, and therefore there can be more than one of each. in practice , adding more reflectors has little benefit ,so  nearly all   arrays have only one reflector element. the Yagi Uda array or simply the Yagi antenna has a single    driven element usually a ƛ/2 Dipole  or folded dipole as show in figure. the reflector is 5% longer than the driven element and space between 0.15 to 0.20 ƛ  Behind the driven element. S ingle director element, 5% shorter than the driven element is space the same distance on the other side to complete the basic Yagi antenna.Due to the relatively large physical dimensions of that elements and their spacing, the Yagi antenna is rarely used for the frequency below the VHF band.     fig (1) basic four element YAGI design fig 2 radiation pattern  Advantage -High gain -High front to back ratio - high Directivity    Disadvantage -Gain is
