INTRODUCTION TO MATLAB
The name MATLAB stands for matrix laboratory. MATLAB is a highperformance language for technical computing. It integrates computation,
visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems
and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation.MATLAB is an
interactive system whose basic data element is an array that does not require
dimensioning. This allows you to solve many technical computing problems,
especially those with matrix and vector formulations, in a fraction of the time it
would take to write a program in a scalar noninteractive language such as C or
Fortran.
Typical uses include
 Math and computation
 Algorithm development
 Data acquisition
 Modeling, simulation, and prototyping
 Data analysis, exploration, and visualization
 Scientific and engineering graphics
 Application development, including graphical user interface building
To start MATLAB on a Microsoft Windows platform, select the Start ->
Programs -> MATLAB 7.0.1 -> MATLAB 7.0.1, or double-click the MATLAB
shortcut icon on your Windows desktop. The shortcut was automatically created
when you installed MATLAB. If you have trouble starting MATLAB, see
troubleshooting information in the Installation Guide for Windows.
When you start MATLAB, it displays the MATLAB desktop, a set of tools
(graphical user interfaces or GUIs) for managing files, variables, and applications
associated with MATLAB.

The toolbar in the desktop provides easy access to frequently used operations.
Position the cursor over a button for a second or two and a tooltip appears that
describes the item.

The Command Window is one of the main tools you use to enter data, run
MATLAB functions and other M-files, and display results.
Use the Help browser to search and view documentation and
demonstrations for MATLAB and all other installed MathWorks products.
MATLAB automatically installs the documentation and demos for a product when

you install that product. The Help browser is an HTML browser integrated with
the MATLAB desktop.
To open the Help browser, click the Help button

in the desktop toolbar,

type helpbrowser in the Command Window, or use the Help menu in any tool.
There are two panes:

Working with Matlab:


In MATLAB, a matrix is a rectangular array of numbers. Special meaning
is sometimes attached to 1-by-1 matrices, which are scalars, and to matrices with
only one row or column, which are vectors. MATLAB has other ways of storing
both numeric and nonnumeric data, but in the beginning, it is usually best to think
ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

of everything as a matrix. The operations in MATLAB are designed to be as


natural as possible. Where other programming languages work with numbers
one at a time, MATLAB allows you to work with entire matrices quickly and
easily.
To do work in MATLAB, you type commands at the command prompt.
Often these commands will look like standard arithmetic. Or function calls similar
to many other computer languages. By doing this, you can assign sequences to
variables and then manipulate them many ways. You can even write your own
functions and programs using MATLAB's control structures.

The following

sections will describe the most commonly used commands on MATLAB and give
simple examples using them.
Expressions:
Like most other programming languages, MATLAB provides mathematical
expressions, but unlike most programming languages, these expressions involve
entire matrices. The building blocks of expressions are
 Variables
 Numbers
 Operators
Variables:
MATLAB does not require any type declarations or dimension statements.
When MATLAB encounters a new variable name, it automatically creates the
variable and allocates the appropriate amount of storage. If the variable already
exists, MATLAB changes its contents and, if necessary, allocates new
storage.Variable names consist of a letter, followed by any number of letters,
digits, or underscores. MATLAB uses only the first 31 characters of a variable
name. MATLAB is case sensitive; it distinguishes between uppercase and
lowercase letters. A and a are not the same variable. To view the matrix
assigned to any variable, simply enter the variable name.
You can assign the values to variables by typing in equations. For example, if
you type
ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

>>x=5
MATLAB creates a 1-by-1 matrix named xand stores the value 5 in its single
element. The output produced by the MATLAB
x=
5
MATLAB uses ans for any expression you don't assign to a variable.

For

instance, if you type


>> 5
to MATLAB, MATLAB will return
ans =
5
and assign the value 5 to the variable ans. Thus, ans will always be assigned to
the most recently calculated value you didn't assign to anything else.
Numbers:
MATLAB uses conventional decimal notation, with an optional decimal point and
leading plus or minus sign, for numbers. Scientific notation uses the letter e to
specify a power-of-ten scale factor. Imaginary numbers use either i or j as a
suffix. Some examples of legal numbers are
3 -99

0.0001

9.6397238
1i

-3.14159j

1.60210e-20

6.02252e23

3e5i

All numbers are stored internally using the long format specified by the
IEEE floating-point standard. Floating-point numbers have a finite precision of
roughly 16 significant decimal digits and a finite range of roughly 10-308 to
10+308.

>>x= 1:4will return


x=

You can optionally give the colon a step size. For instance,
>>x=8:-1:5 will give
x=
8

and
>> x = 0:0.25: 1.25will return
x=
0

0.25

0.5

0.75

1.0

The colon is a subtle and powerful operator, and we'll see more uses of it later.
Flow Control:
MATLAB has several flow control constructs:
if, else, and elseif

ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

switch and case


for
while etc
if, else, and elseif:
The if statement evaluates a logical expression and executes a group of
statements when the expression is true. The optional elseif and else keywords
provide for the execution of alternate groups of statements. An end keyword,
which matches the if, terminates the last group of statements. The groups of
statements are delineated by the four keywords -- no braces or brackets are
involved.
The basic command looks like if a > 0
x=a^2;
end
This command will assign x to be the value of a squared, if a is positive.
Again, note that it has to have an end to indicate which commands are actually
part of the if. In addition, you can define an else clause which is executed if the
condition you gave the if is not true. We could expand our example above to be
if a>0
x = a^2;
else
x = -a^2
end
For this version, if we had already set a to be 2, then x would get the
value 4, but if a was -3, x would be -9. Note that we only need one end, which
comes after all the clauses of the if. Finally, we can expand the if to include
several possible conditions. If the first condition isn't satisfied, it looks for the
next, and so on, until it either finds an else, or finds the end. We could change
our example to get
if a>0
x = a^2;
else if a == 0
ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

x = i;
else
x = -a^2
end
For this command, it will see if a is positive, then if a is not positive, it will check if
a is zero, finally it will do the else clause. So, if a positive, x will be a squared, if
a is 0, x will be i, and if a is negative,
then x will be the negative of a squared. Again, note we only have a single end
after all the clauses.
For:
The for loop repeats a group of statements a fixed, predetermined number of
times. A matching end delineates the statements.
. It is functionally very similar to the for function in C. For example, typing

for i= 1:4
end
will cause MATLAB to make the variable i count from 1 to 4, and print its value
for each step. So, you would see
i=1
i=2
i=3
i=4
Every command must have a matching end statement to indicate which
commands should be executed several times. You can have nested for loops.
For example, typing
Form = 1:3
for n= 1:3
x(m,n)=m+n*i;
end
end
will define x to be the matrix
x=

3.0000 + 1.0000i

3.0000 + 2.0000i

3.0000 + 3.0000i

The indentations in the for structure are optional, but they make it easier to figure
out what the commands are doing.
While:
The while command allows you to execute a group of commands until
some condition is no longer true. These commands appear between the while
and its matching end statement. For instance, if we want to keep squaring x until
it is greater than a million,
we would type
while x < 1000000
x = x^2;
end
Scripts and Functions:
MATLAB is a powerful programming language as well as an interactive
computational environment. Files that contain code in the MATLAB language are
called M-files. You create M-files using a text editor, then use them as you would
any other MATLAB function or command.
There are two kinds of M-files: Scripts, which do not accept input arguments or
return output arguments. They operate on data in the workspace. Functions,
which can accept input arguments and return output arguments. Internal
variables are local to the function.
Scripts:
When you invoke a script, MATLAB simply executes the commands found in the
file. Scripts can operate on existing data in the workspace, or they can create
new data on which to operate. Although scripts do not return output arguments,
any variables that they create remain in the workspace, to be used in subsequent
computations.
ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

Functions:
Functions are M-files that can accept input arguments and return output
arguments. The names of the M-file and of the function should be the same.
Functions operate on variables within their own workspace, separate from the
workspace you access at the MATLAB command prompt.
Procedure:
1. Open the MATLAB software by double clicking its icon

2. MATLAB logo will appear and after few moments Command Prompt will
appear.

3. Go to the File Menu and select a New M- file. (File ?New?M-file) or in the left
hand corner a blank white paper icon will be there. Click it once.

5. Now start typing your program. After completing, save the M- file with
appropriate name. Toexecute the program Press F5 or go to Debug Menu and
select Run.

6. After execution output will appear in the Command window .If there is an error
then with an
alarm, type of error will appear in red color.

1. AMPLITUDE MODULATION AND DEMODULATION


Aim:
A. To generate the amplitude modulated signal(AM wave) by using given
message signal and carrier signals in MATLAB software
B. To demodule the AM wave using envelope detector principle
Hardware and software requirements:
Personal computer(PC)
MATLAB Software 7.0.4
Theory:
In amplitude modulation, the amplitude of the carrier voltage varies in
accordance with the instantaneous value of modulating voltage. Let the
modulating voltage be given by expression,
Vm = Vmcoswmt
Where wm is angular frequency of the signal &Vm is the amplitude. Let the
carriervoltage be given by expression,
Vc = Vccoswct
On Amplitude Modulation, The instantaneous value of modulated carrier voltage
is given by,
V = V(t) coswct
V(t)=Vc + kaVmcoswmt
V=Vc[1+ ma coswm t] coswct
Where ma is modulation index and the modulation index is defined as the ratio of
maximum amplitude of modulating signal to maximum amplitude of carrier signal.
ma= Vm / Vc
The demodulation circuit is used to recover the message signal from the
incoming AM wave at the receiver. An envelope detector is a simple and yet
highly effective device that is well suited for the demodulation of AM wave, for
which the percentage modulation is less than 100%.Ideally, an envelop detector
produces an output signal that follows the envelop of the input signal wave form

2. AM-DSBSC MODULATION AND DEMODULATION


Aim:
A. To generate the AM-DSBSC modulated signal(DSBSC wave) by using
given message signal and carrier signals in MATLAB software
B. To demodule the DSBSC wave using synchronous detector
Hardware and software requirements:
Personal computer(PC)
MATLAB Software 7.0.4
Theory:
The amplitude-modulated signal is simple to produce but has two practical
drawbacks inapplication to many real communications systems: the bandwidth of
the AM signal is twice that of the modulating signal and most of the power is
transmitted in the carrier, not in the information bearing sidebands. To overcome
these problems with AM, versions on AM have been developed. These other
versions of the AM are used in applications were bandwidth must be conserved
or power used more effectively.
If the carrier could somehow be removed or reduced, the transmitted
signal would consistof two information-bearing sidebands, and the total
transmitted power would be information. When the carrier is reduced, this is
called as double sideband suppressedcarrier AM or DSB-SC. Instead of two
third of the power in the carrier, nearly all being the available power is used in
sidebands.

INTRODUCTION TO SIMULINK
Introduction:
Simulink is a software package that enables you to model, simulate, and
analyze systems whose outputs change over time. Such systems are often
referred to as dynamic systems. Simulink can be used to explore the behavior of
a wide range of real-world dynamic systems, including electrical circuits, shock
absorbers, braking systems, and many other electrical, mechanical, and
thermodynamic systems. This section explains how Simulink works.
Simulating a dynamic system is a two-step process with Simulink. First, a
user creates a block diagram, using the Simulink model editor, that graphically
depicts time-dependent mathematical relationships among the system's inputs,
states, and outputs. The user then commands Simulink to simulate the system
represented by the model from a specified start time to a specified stop time.
In general, block and lines can be used to describe many "models of
computations." One example would be a flow chart. A flow chart consists of
blocks and lines, but one cannot describe general dynamic systems using flow
chart semantics.
The term "time-based block diagram" is used to distinguish block
diagrams that describe dynamic systems from that of other forms of block
diagrams. In Simulink, we use the term block diagram (or model) to refer to a
time-based block diagram unless the context requires explicit distinction.
Simulink block diagrams define time-based relationships between signals
and state variables. The solution of a block diagram is obtained by evaluating
these relationships over time, where time starts at a user specified "start time"
and ends at a user specified "stop time." Each evaluation of these relationships is
referred to as a time step. Signals represent quantities that change over time and
are defined for all points in time between the block diagram's start and stop time.
The relationships between signals and state variables are defined by a set of
equations represented by blocks. Each block consists of a set of equations (block
methods). These equations define a relationship between the input signals,

output signals and the state variables. Inherent in the definition of a equation is
the notion of parameters, which are the coefficients found within the equation.

Starting Simulink
To start Simulink, you must first start MATLAB. You can then start
Simulink in two ways:

Canvas

The canvas displays the model's block diagram. The canvas allows you to
edit the block diagram. You can use your system's mouse and keyboard to
create and connect blocks, selelect and move blocks, edit block labels, display
block dialog boxes, and so on. See Working with Blocks for more information.
Context Menus

Simulink displays a context-sensitive menu when you click the right mouse
button over the canvas. The contents of the menu depend on whether a block is
selected. If a block is selected, the menu displays commands that apply only to
the selected block. If no block is selected, the menu displays commands that
apply to a model or library as a whole.
Status Bar

The status bar appears only in the Windows version of the Simulink Editor.
When a simulation is running, the status bar displays the status of the simulation,
including the current simulation time and the name of the current solver. You can
display or hide the status bar by selecting or clearing the Status Bar option on the
Simulink View menu.

Building a Model
This example shows you how to build a model using many of the modelbuilding commands and actions you will use to build your own models.
The model integrates a sine wave and displays the result along with the
sine wave. The block diagram of the model looks like this.

ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

29

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

To create a new model , click the New Model button on the Library
Browser's toolbar.

Simulink opens a new model window.

To create this model, you need to copy blocks into the model from the following
Simulink block libraries:

Sources library (the Sine Wave block)

Sinks library (the Scope block)

Continuous library (the Integrator block)

Signal Routing library (the Mux block)

To copy the Sine Wave block from the Library Browser, first expand the Library
Browser tree to display the blocks in the Sources library. Do this by clicking the

ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

30

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

Sources node to display the Sources library blocks. Finally, click the Sine Wave
node to select the Sine Wave block.
Here is how the Library Browser should look after you have done this

Now drag a copy of the Sine Wave block from the browser and drop it in the
model window.

Copy the rest of the blocks in a similar manner from their respective
libraries into the model window. You can move a block from one place in the
model window to another by dragging the block. You can move a block a short
distance by selecting the block, then pressing the arrow keys.
With all the blocks copied into the model window, the model should look
something like this.
ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

31

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

If you examine the blocks, you see an angle bracket on the right of the
Sine Wave block and two on the left of the Mux block. The > symbol pointing out
of a block is an output port; if the symbol points to a block, it is an input port. A
signal travels out of an output port and into an input port of another block through
a connecting line. When the blocks are connected, the port symbols disappear.

Now it's time to connect the blocks. Connect the Sine Wave block to the
top input port of the Mux block. Position the pointer over the output port on the
right side of the Sine Wave block. Notice that the cursor shape changes to
crosshairs.

Hold down the mouse button and move the cursor to the top input port of
the Mux block.
Notice that the line is dashed while the mouse button is down and that the cursor
shape changes to double-lined crosshairs as it approaches the Mux block.

ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

32

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

Now release the mouse button. The blocks are connected. You can also
connect the line to the block by releasing the mouse button while the pointer is
over the block. If you do, the line is connected to the input port closest to the
cursor's position.

If you look again at the model at the beginning of this section, you'll notice
that most of the lines connect output ports of blocks to input ports of other blocks.
However, one line connects a line to the input port of another block. This line,
called a branch line, connects the Sine Wave output to the Integrator block, and
carries the same signal that passes from the Sine Wave block to the Mux block.
Drawing a branch line is slightly different from drawing the line you just drew. To
weld a connection to an existing line, follow these steps:
1. First, position the pointer on the line between the Sine Wave and the Mux
block.

2. Press and hold down the Ctrl key (or click the right mouse button).Press
the mouse button, then drag the pointer to the Integrator block's input port
or over the Integrator block itself.

ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

33

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

3. Release the mouse button. Simulink draws a line between the starting point and
the Integrator block's input port.

Finish making block connections. When you're done, your model should look something
like this.

Controlling Execution of a Simulation


The Simulink graphical interface includes menu commands and toolbar buttons
that enable you to start, stop, and pause a simulation.
Starting a Simulation
To start execution of a model, select Start from the model editor's Simulation
menu or click the Start button on the model's toolbar.

ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

34

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

You can also use the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+T, to start the simulation.
Note: A common mistake that new Simulink users make is to start a simulation while the
Simulink block library is the active window. Make sure your model window is the active
window before starting a simulation.
Simulink starts executing the model at the start time specified on the
Configuration Parameters dialog box. Execution continues until the simulation reaches
the final time step specified on the Configuration Parameters dialog box, an error occurs,
or you pause or terminate the simulation.
While the simulation is running, a progress bar at the bottom of the model
window shows how far the simulation has progressed. A Stop command replaces the
Start command on the Simulation menu. A Pause command appears on the menu and
replaces the Start button on the model toolbar.

Your computer beeps to signal the completion of the simulation.

4. Amplitude Modulation & Demodulation


Aim:
To generate amplitude modulated wave using simulink and demodulate
the modulated wave.

Software Required:
MATLAB 7.0.4
Simulink

Theory:
Amplitude Modulation is defined as a process in which the amplitude of
the carrier wave c(t) is varied linearly with the instantaneous amplitude of the
message signal m(t).The standard form of an amplitude modulated (AM) wave is
defined by
s (t ) = Ac [1+ K a m(t ) cos(2f c t )]
Where K a is a constant called the amplitude sensitivity of the modulator.
Basically

amplitude

modulated

signal

is

generated

by

product

modulator.The inputs to the product modulator are message signal and carrier
signal. Demodulation is the process of extracting the baseband message signal
from the carrier so that it may be processed at the receiver. For that purpose
various methods are used like diode detector method, product detector
method, filter detector etc. The same has been implemented on simulink model.
Low pass filter has been implemented to extract the carrier from the modulated
signal. Low pass filter (LPF), filters out the high frequency component and allows
the low frequency component to pass. Since the carrier signal is of relatively
much higher frequency than that of message signal, carrier signal is attenuated
while the message signal is received at the receiver.

Aim:
To generate DSB-SC Modulated wave using simulink and demodulate the
modulated signal

Software Required:
MATLAB 7.0.4
SIMULINK

Theory:
In the double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission (DSB-SC) modulation,
unlike AM, the wave carrier is not transmitted; thus, a great percentage of power
that is dedicated to it is distributed between the sidebands, which imply an
increase of the cover in DSB-SC, compared to AM, for the same power used.
The DSB-SC modulator output as follows

The coherent DSB-SC requires a synchronized local oscillator and works on


following
principle.

A low pass filter filters out the message signal from above.

Theory:
In Frequency Modulation (FM), the amplitude of the sinusoidal carrier wave was
modulated in AM, this time the instantaneous frequency of a sinusoidal carrier
wave will be modified proportionally to the variation of amplitude of the message
signal.
The FM signal is expressed as
s (t ) = Ac cos(2f c + sin (2f m t ))

Where

K a is a constant called the amplitude sensitivity of the modulator.


The demodulation circuit is used to recover the message signal from the

incoming AM wave at the receiver. An envelope detector is a simple and yet highly
effective device that is well suited for the demodulation of AM wave, for which the
percentage modulation is less than 100%.Ideally, an envelop detector produces an

output signal that follows the envelop of the input signal wave form exactly; hence, the
name. Some version of this circuit is used in almost all commercial AM radio receivers.
The Modulation Index is defined as, m =

( Emax E min )
( E max + E min )

Where Emax and Emin are the maximum and minimum amplitudes of the
modulated wave.

Theory:
The AM signal is applied to a basic half-wave rectifier circuit consisting of diode
and resistor. The diode conducts when the positive half of the AM signals occur. During
the negative half cycles, the diode is reverse-biased and no current flows through it. As a
result, the voltage across resistor is a series of positive pulses whose amplitude varies
with the modulating signal. To recover the original modulating signal a capacitor is
connected across resistor. Its value is critical to good performance. The result is that the
carrier is absent there by leaving the original modulating signal.

An SSB signal is produced by passing the DSB signal through a highly selective
band pass filter. This filter selects either the upper or the lower sideband. Hence
transmission bandwidth can be cut by half if one sideband is entirely suppressed. This
leads to single-sideband modulation (SSB). In SSB modulation bandwidth saving is
accompanied by a considerable increase in equipment complexity.

1. PULSE WIDTH MODULATION


Aim:
To write a MATLAB program to simulate the PWM wavefor the given
message signal
Hardware and software requirements:
Personal computer(PC)
MATLAB Software 7.0.4
Theory:
Pulse width modulation (PWM) encodes a signal into periodic pulses of
equal magnitude but varying width. The width of a pulse at a given point in time is
proportional to the amplitude of the message signal at that time. For example, the
large value of the message yields a narrow pulse.
To implement the PWM, the message signal is compared with the
sawtooth carrier. When the message signal is greater than the carrier, the
comparator output becomes highand vice versa; the heights and lows can be
represented by +1 or-1 respectively.The comparator output will be the pulse
width modulated signal.

2. PHASE LOCKED LOOP


Aim:
To write the MATLAB program to simulate the operation of PLL circuit.
Hardware and software requirements:
Personal computer(PC)
MATLAB Software 7.0.4
Theory:
Phase-locked loop (PLL) is a feedback loop which locks two waveforms with
same frequency but shifted in phase. The fundamental use of this loop is in
comparing frequencies of two waveforms and then adjusting the frequency of the
waveform in the loop to equal the input waveform frequency. A block diagram of
the PLL is shown in Figure 1. The heart of the PLL is a phase comparator which
along with a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a filter and an amplifier forms the
loop.

Figure 1: Basic Phase-Locked Loop


If the two frequencies are different the output of the phase comparator varies and
changes the input to the VCO to make its output frequency equal to the input
waveform frequency. The locking of the two frequencies is a nonlinear process
but linear approximation can be used to analyse PLL dynamics. In getting the
PLL to lock the proper selection of the filter is essential and it needs some
attention. If the filter design is understood from control theory point-of-view then
ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

fundamentals of the PLL and how you can use nonlinear simulation and
linearised approximation to get a better understanding of the PLL.

VCO. The VCO frequency is varied by the dc output voltage from a low pass filter. It is
the output of the phase detector that the low pass filter uses to produce dc control
voltage. This dc control voltage is called the error signal and is also the feedback in this
circuit and will control the VCO.

Circuit Diagram:

Procedure:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig. 2.
2. Obtain the free running frequency fo without giving any input signal.
3. Apply the square wave as input signal at pin no.2 and then vary the input signal
frequency. When input signal is locked with VCO output in forward direction then
note down the value of input signal frequency (fC1). Again increase the input
signal frequency and observe the frequency at which the PLL becomes unlocked,
note down the value of input signal frequency (fL2).
4. Again the frequency of input is reduced in backward direction and note down the
frequency of the input signal (fc2) at which input signal is locked with VCO output.

Theory:
The frequency divider is inserted between the VCO and the phase comparator of PLL.
Since the output of the divider is locked to the input frequency fin, the VCO is actually
running at a multiple of the input frequency . The desired amount of multiplication can be
obtained by selecting a proper divide by N network ,where N is an integer. To obtain
the output frequency fOUT=5fIN, a divide by N = 5 network is needed. One must
determine the input frequency range and then adjust the free running fOUT of the VCO by
means of R1 (20kpot) and C1 (10F) so that the output frequency of the divider is
midway within the predetermined input frequency range. The output of the VCO now
ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

98

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

should be 5fIN. The output of the VCO now should be adjusted from 1.5 KHz to 15 KHz
by varying potentiometer R1 .this means that the input frequency fin range has to be with
in 300Hz to 3KHz. In addition, the input wave form may be applied to inputs pin2 or pin3.
Input output waveforms forms for fOUT= 5fIN. A small capacitor typically 1000pf is
connected between pin7 and pin8 to eliminate possible oscillations. Also, capacitor C2
should be large enough to stabilize the VCO frequency.

Circuit Diagram:

Procedure:
1. Connect the circuit diagram as shown in Fig.1.
2. Measure the free running frequency of PLL (IC565) at pin no.4 with the input

3. Compare the output with the calculated theoretical value 0.25/RTCT.
4. Set the input signal (say 2 Vp-p, 1KHz square wave form ) using function
generator.
5. Vary the frequency by adjusting the 20K Potentiometer till the PLL(IC565)is
locked.
6. Measure (frequency counter) the frequency of the output signal. It must be 5
times the input signal frequency.
7. Observe and note down the waveform and frequency of various signals using
CRO .

Sine wave:
We can generate the sine wave in two ways one is by using the directly sinewave
block and other way is by using the signal generator block
Sine wave block:

Symbol

The Sine Wave block provides a sinusoid. The block can operate in either timebased or sample-based mode.

Sine type
Type of sine wave generated by this block, either time- or sample-based. Some
of the other options presented by the Sine Wave dialog box depend on whether
you select time-based or sample-based as the value of Sine type parameter.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

Time
Specifies whether to use simulation time as the source of values for the sine
wave's time variable or an external source. If you specify an external time source,
the block displays an input port for the time source.
Amplitude
The amplitude of the signal. The default is 1.
Bias
Constant value added to the sine to produce the output of this block.
Frequency
The frequency, in radians/second. The default is 1 rad/s. This parameter
appears only if you choose time-based as the Sine type of the block.
Samples per period
Number of samples per period. This parameter appears only if you choose
sample-based as the Sine type of the block.
Phase
The phase shift, in radians. The default is 0 radians. This parameter appears
only if you choose time-based as the Sine type of the block.
Number of offset samples
The offset (discrete phase shift) in number of sample times. This parameter
appears only if you choose sample-based as the Sine type of the block.

ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

Sample time
The sample period. The default is 0. If the sine type is sample-based, the
sample time must be greater than 0. See Specifying Sample Time in the online
documentation for more information.
Interpret vector parameters as 1-D
If selected, column or row matrix values for the Sine Wave block's numeric
parameters result in a vector output signal; otherwise, the block outputs a signal
of the same dimensionality as the parameters. If this option is not selected, the
block always outputs a signal of the same dimensionality as the block's numeric
parameters.
Signal generator:
The Signal Generator block can produce one of three different waveforms:
sine wave, square wave, and sawtooth wave. The signal parameters can be
expressed in Hertz (the default) or radians per second. This figure shows each
signal displayed on a Scope using default parameter values.

Symbol

The block's Amplitude and Frequency parameters determine the amplitude and
frequency of the output signal. The parameters must be of the same dimensions
after scalar expansion.

ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

Wave form
The wave form: a sine wave, square wave, or sawtooth wave. The default is a
sine wave. This parameter cannot be changed while a simulation is running.
Time
Specifies whether to use simulation time as the source of values for the
waveform's time variable or an external signal. If you specify an external time
source, the block displays an input port for the time source.
Amplitude
The signal amplitude. The default is 1.
Frequency
The signal frequency. The default is 1.
Units
The signal units: Hertz or radians/sec. The default is Hertz.

Interpret vector parameters as 1-D


If selected, column or row matrix values for the Amplitude and Frequency
parameters result in a vector output signal.
Constant
The Constant block generates a real or complex constant value. The block
generates scalar (1x1 2-D array), vector (1-D array), or matrix (2-D array) output,
depending on the dimensionality of the Constant value parameter and the setting
of the Interpret vector parameters as 1-D parameter.

Symbol

The output of the block has the same dimensions and elements as the Constant
value parameter. If you specify a vector for this parameter, and you want the
block to interpret it as a vector (i.e., a 1-D array), select the Interpret vector
parameters as 1-D parameter; otherwise, the block treats the Constant value
parameter as a matrix (i.e., a 2-D array).

ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

113

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

Constant value
Specify the constant value output by the block. You can enter any MATLAB
expression in this field, including the Boolean keywords, true or false, that
evaluates to a matrix value. The Constant value parameter is converted from its
data type to the specified output data type offline using round-to-nearest and
saturation.
Interpret vector parameters as 1-D
If you select this check box, the Constant block outputs a vector of length N if
the Constant value parameter evaluates to an N-element row or column vector,
i.e., a matrix of dimension 1xN or Nx1.
Sample time
Specify the interval between times that the Constant block's output can change
during simulation (e.g., as a result of tuning its Constant value parameter). The
default sample time is inf, i.e., the block's output can never change. This setting
speeds simulation and generated code by avoiding the need to recompute the
block's output. See Specifying Sample Time in the online documentation for more
information.
Scope
The Scope block displays its input with respect to simulation time. The Scope
block can have multiple axes (one per port); all axes have a common time range
with independent y-axes. The Scope allows you to adjust the amount of time and
the range of input values displayed. You can move and resize the Scope window
and you can modify the Scope's parameter values during the simulation.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

When you start a simulation, Simulink does not open Scope windows, although it
does write data to connected Scopes. As a result, if you open a Scope after a
simulation, the Scope's input signal or signals will be displayed.
If the signal is continuous, the Scope produces a point-to-point plot. If the signal
is discrete, the Scope produces a stair-step plot.
The Scope provides toolbar buttons that enable you to zoom in on displayed
data, display all the data input to the Scope, preserve axis settings from one
simulation to the next, limit data displayed, and save data to the workspace. The
toolbar buttons are labeled in this figure, which shows the Scope window as it
appears when you open a Scope block.

Number of axes
Set the number of y-axes in this data field. With the exception of the floating
scope, there is no limit to the number of axes the Scope block can contain. All
axes share the same time base (x-axis), but have independent y-axes. Note that
the number of axes is equal to the number of input ports.
Time range
Change the x-axis limits by entering a number or auto in the Time range field.
Entering a number of seconds causes each screen to display the amount of data
that corresponds to that number of seconds. Enter auto to set the x-axis to the
duration of the simulation. Do not enter variable names in these fields.
Sum (Add or subtract)
The Sum block performs addition or subtraction on its inputs. This block can add
or subtract scalar, vector, or matrix inputs. It can also collapse the elements of a
single input vector.

Symbol
ANALOG COMMUNICATIONS LAB

116

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

The Sum block first converts the input data type(s) to the output data type using
the specified rounding and overflow modes, and then performs the specified
operations.

List of signs
Enter as many plus (+) and minus (-) characters as there are inputs. Addition
is the default operation, so if you only want to add the inputs, enter the number of
input ports. For a single vector input, "+" or "-" will collapse the vector using the
specified operation.
You can manipulate the positions of the input ports on the block by inserting
spacers (|) between the signs in the List of signs parameter. For example, "++|--"
creates an extra space between the second and third input ports.

Sample time (-1 for inherited)


Specify the time interval between samples. To inherit the sample time, set this
parameter to -1. See Specifying Sample Time in the online documentation for
more information.
Product(multiply or divide)
The Product block performs multiplication or division of its inputs.

Symbol

This block produces outputs using either element-wise or matrix multiplication,


depending on the value of the Multiplication parameter. You specify the
operations with the Number of inputs parameter. Multiply(*) and divide(/)
characters indicate the operations to be performed on the inputs.
