SUBJECT PCEL EXPT 3
TITLE DSB and SSB AM transmitter and receiver
AIM To study DSB and SSB AM transmission and reception
HARDWARE ST 2201, ST2202
KIT
THEORY Write about:
1. DSBFC. Draw DSBFC in time and frequency domain.
2. What is SSB transmission
3. Advantages over DSB
4. Methods to generate SSB
5. Methods to demodulate SSB
PROCEDURE DSB transmission and Reception
 1. Connect the circuit required in the trainer kit.
2. Set modulating frequency in audio range and amplitude. Observe and
measure the modulating signal on CRO.
3. Observe an undermodulated signal and find Vmax and Vmin.
4. Connect output of ST 2201 to input of ST2202.
5. Tune the circuit such that you get the modulated signal at the output of
the RF amplifier.
6. Observe the IF amplifiers output at stage 1 and 2.
7. Observe the demodulated output.

SSB transmission and Reception

1. Connect the circuit required in the trainer kit. Keep all toggle
switches in SSB mode.
2. Set modulating frequency above 2 KHz in audio range and
amplitude. Observe and measure the modulating signal on CRO.
3. Observe output of balanced modulator stage 2 ( It shld be a SSB
signal ). Measure Vp-p.
4. Connect output of ST 2201 to input of ST2202.
5. Tune the circuit such that you get the modulated signal at the output
of the RF amplifier.
6. Observe the IF amplifiers output at stage 1 and 2.
7. Switch on the BFO and Observe the demodulated output after the
product detector.

Observations
1. What was the range of the tuner dial at which the group got
satisfactory output of RF amplifier?
a. For DSB reception
b. For SSB reception
 2. Did the grp get the DSBSC signal from the Balanced modulator stage
1 directly? Or did ull have to make changes in the circuit?

3. At the output , are you’ll getting the USB or LSB?

4. How many faults did your group introduce? What were the findings?
Fault Number Faulty circuit and explain what was the
observation

5. How many points did your group get in the fault finding?
