MATERALS One function generator One oscilloscope One spectrum analyzer One LM 741 op-amp Two 5 nf variable capacitors Resistors: 5.86 kn, 10 kn, and 30 kq THEORY Communications systems are normally studied using sinusoidal voltage waveforms to simplify the analysis. n the real world, electrical information signals are normally nonsinusoidal voltage waveforms, such as audio signals, video signals, or computer data. Fourier theory provides a powerful means of analyzing communications systems by representing a nonsinusoidal signal as a series of sinusoidal voltages added together. Fourier theory states that a complex voltage waveform is essentially a composite of harmonically related sine or cosine waves at different 53
2 frequencies and amplitudes determined by the particular signal voltage waveshape. Any nonsinusoidal periodic waveform can be broken down into a sine or cosine wave equal to the frequency ofthe periodic waveform, called the fundamental frequency, and a series of sine or cosine waves that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency, called harmonics. This series of sine or cosine waves is called a Fourier series.,. i Most of the signals analyzed in a communications system are expressed in the time domain, meaning that the voltage, current, or power is plotted as a function oftime. The voltage, current, or power is represented on the vertical axis and time is represented on the horizontal axis. Fourier theory provides a new way of expressing signals in the frequency domain, meaning that the voltage, current, or power is plotted as a function of frequency. Complex signals containing many sine or cosine wave components are expressed as sine or cosine wave amplitudes at different frequencies, with amplitude represented on the vertical axis and frequency represented on the horizontal axis. The length of each of a series of vertical straight lines represents the sine or cosine wave amplitudes, and the location of each line along the horizontal axis represents the sine or cosine wave frequencies. This is called a frequency spectrum. n many cases the frequency domain is more useful than the time domain because it reveals the bandwidth requirements of the communications system in order to pass the signal with minimal distortion. Test instruments for displaying signals in both the time domain and the frequency domain are available. The oscilloscope is used to display signals in the time domain and the spectrum analyzer is used to display the frequency spectrum of signals in the frequency domain. n the frequency domain, normally the harmonics decrease in amplitude as their frequency gets higher until the amplitude becomes negligible. The more harmonics added to make up the composite waveshape, the more the composite waveshape will look like the original waveshape. Because it is impossible to design a communications system that will pass an infinite number of frequencies (infinite bandwidth), a perfect reproduction of an original signal is impossible. n most cases, eliminating some ofthe harmonics does not significantly alter the original waveform. The more information contained in a signal voltage waveform (faster changing voltages), the larger the number of high-frequency harmonics required to reproduce the original waveform. Therefore, the more complex the signal waveform (the faster the voltage changes), the wider the bandwidth required to pass it with minimal distortion. A formal relationship between bandwidth and the amount of information communicated is called Hartley's law, which states that the amount of information communicated is proportional to the bandwidth of the communications system and the transmission time. Because much of the information communicated today is digital, the accurate transmission of binary pulses through a communications system is important. Fourier analysis of binary pulses is especially useful in communications because it provides a way to determine the bandwidth required for the accurate transmission of digital data. Although, theoretically, the communications system must pass all of the harmonics of a pulse waveshape, in reality, relatively few of the harmonics are needed to preserve the waveshape. 54 Tf..
3 The duty cycle of a series of periodic pulses is equal to the ratio ofthe pulse up time (to) to the time period of one cycle (T) expressed as a percentage. Therefore, t D=...E...xlOO% T n the special case where a series of periodic pulses has a 50% duty cycle, called a square wave, the plot in the frequency domain will consist of a fundamental and all odd harmonics, with the even harmonics missing. The fundamental frequency will be equal to the frequency of the square wave. The amplitude of each odd harmonic will decrease in direct proportion to the odd harmonic frequency. Therefore, v(t) = Asin27ifi + A sin(3)27ifi + A sin (5)27ifi + A sin(7)27tfi The circuit in Figure 5-1 will generate a square wave voltage by adding a series of sine wave voltages as specified above. As the number of harmonics is decreased, the square wave that is produced will have more ripples. An infinite number of harmonics would be required to produce a perfectly flat square wave.

4 The circuit in Figure 5-2 will generate a triangular wave voltage by adding a series of cosine wave voltages. n order to generate a triangular wave, each harmonic frequency must be an odd multiple of the fundamental frequency with no even harmonics. The fundamental frequency will be equal to the frequency ofthe triangular wave. The amplitude of each odd harmonic will decrease in direct proportion to the square of the odd harmonic frequency. Therefore, A A v(t) = Acos27ift + )Tcos(3)27ift + "52COS(5)27tjt Whenever a dc voltage is added to a periodic time varying voltage, the waveshape will be shifted up by the amount of the dc voltage.

The fundamental frequency will be equal to the frequency ofthe periodic pulse train. The amplitude (A) of each harmonic will depend on the value of the duty cycle. A general frequency domain plot of a periodic pulse train with a duty cycle other than 50% is shown in the figure on page 57. The outline of the peaks of the individual frequency components is called the envelope of the frequency spectrum. The first zero-amplitude frequency crossing point is labeled fo = lito, where to is the up time of the pulse train. This first zero-amplitude frequency crossing point (fo) detennines the minimum bandwidth (BW) required for passing the pulse train with minimal distortion. 56
5 Therefore, 1 BW =;; =- o t o A ~ fo=l/to 2/to f Frequency Spectrum of a Pulse Train Notice that the lower the value of to, the wider the bandwidth required to pass the pulse train with minimal distortion. Also note that the separation of the lines in the frequency spectrum is equal to the inverse of the time period (lt) of the pulse train. Therefore a higher frequency pulse train requires a wider bandwidth (BW) because f= lt. The circuit in Figure 5-3 will demonstrate the difference between the time domain and the frequency domain. t will also demonstrate how filtering out some of the harmonics affects the output waveshape compared to the original input waveshape. The frequency generator (XFG1) will generate a periodic pulse waveform applied to the input of the filter (5). At the output of the filter (7), the oscilloscope will display the periodic pulse waveform in the time domain, and the spectrum analyzer will display the frequency spectrum of the periodic pulse waveform in the frequency domain. The Bode plotter will display the Bode plot of the filter so that the filter bandwidth can be measured. The filter is a 2-pole low-pass Butterwoth active filter using a 741 op-amp. 57
