FOREWORD
This instructor's guide provides a unit-by-unit outline of the principal points made in the FACET curriculum. For each unit, instructors are given a unit objective, a brief description of the material covered in each unit and a list of important points to emphasize. Review question answers, unit test answers, faults and circuit modifications (CM) are provided in the appendices.
SAFETY
Safety is everyone's responsibility. All must cooperate to create the safest possible working environment. Students must be reminded of the potential for harm, given common sense safety rules, and instructed to follow the electrical safety rules.
Any environment can be hazardous when it is unfamiliar. The F.A.C.E.T.
computer-based laboratory may be a new environment to some students. Instruct students in the proper use of the F.A.C.E.T. equipment and explain what
behavior is expected of them in this laboratory. It is up to the instructor to provide the necessary introduction to the learning environment and the equipment. This task will prevent injury to both student and equipment.
The voltage and current used in the F.A.C.E.T. Computer-Based Laboratory are, in themselves, harmless to the normal, healthy person. However, an electrical shock coming as a surprise will be uncomfortable and may cause a reaction that could create injury. The students should be made aware of the following
electrical safety rules.
1. Turn off the power before working on a circuit.
2. Always confirm that the circuit is wired correctly before turning on the power. If required, have your instructor check your circuit wiring.
3. Perform the experiments as you are instructed: do not deviate from the documentation.
4. Never touch "live" wires with your bare hands or with tools. 5. Always hold test leads by their insulated areas.
6. Be aware that some components can become very hot during operation. (However, this is not a normal condition for your F.A.C.E.T. course
equipment.) Always allow time for the components to cool before proceeding to touch or remove them from the circuit.
7. Do not work without supervision. Be sure someone is nearby to shut off the power and provide first aid in case of an accident.
8. Remove power cords by the plug, not by pulling on the cord. Check for cracked or broken insulation on the cord.

Special line coding schemes are used with AMI signals to provide proper clock recovery when long strings of 0's are transmitted.
In a Binary 8-Zero Substitution scheme (B8ZS), strings of 8 zeros are detected at the transmitter and substituted with code patterns containing 1's. At the receiver, these substituted code patterns are used for clock recovery and then changed back to the correct code of 8 zeroes.
NEW TERMS AND WORDS
baseband data transmission - when a signal is transmitted without modification; no carrier signal.
baud - a unit of signaling speed equal to the reciprocal of the shortest element duration in seconds.
data - a group of characters (1's and 0's) that make up a message or information. data speed (bps) - the rate at which bits or binary digits are transmitted.
decode - to produce clear information from previous encoded data. encoded - to express information in terms of a code.
frequency spectrum - the distribution of the amplitude (energy) of a signal as a function of frequency.

If the channel's passband is wide enough, two carrier signals can be used to provide full-duplex operation. The BELL 103 standard defines a full-duplex 300 baud FSK modem using two audio carrier signals. The station originating the call transmits 1070 Hz for a logic low and 1270 Hz for a logic high. The station
answering the phone transmits a 2025 Hz for a logic low and 2225 Hz for a logic high. Each change in the baseband signal generates one change in the 300 baud BELL 103 FSK carrier frequency.
FSK demodulators fall into two basic categories, synchronous and asynch-ronous. Asynchronous demodulators filter the carrier signal before using an envelope detector to recover the baseband signal. Synchronous demodula-tors synchronize a reference signal with the carrier signal to detect changes in carrier frequency and recover the baseband signal.
NEW TERMS AND WORDS
analog channels - communication pathways intended for analog message signals. These channels are characterized by limited bandwidth and poor low frequency response.
analog multiplexer (MUX) - a circuit that will pass one of several analog sig-nals selected by the control signal(s).
analog switches - electronically controlled switches intended for use with ana-log signals.
asynchronous - relating to events that occur without a regular or predictable time relationship. Operating at independent frequencies.

EXERCISE OBJECTIVE
Explain and demonstrate synchronous detection of a PSK signal.
DISCUSSION

intelligence from the PSK and doubles its frequency.
• The final stage divides the VCO OUT frequency by 2 and shifts it by 90° to produce the regenerated carrier.
• The regenerated carrier is mixed with the PSK to demodulate the signal. • The low-pass filter and voltage comparator perform the final shaping of the
pulses.

An electronic SPST switch can be used to illustrate a simpler type of ASK
modulation. The carrier is connected (switch closed) to the output for a binary 1.
The carrier is disconnected (switch open) from the output for a binary 0. This special technique of amplitude modulation is called on-off keying (OOK). The abrupt on and off changes between signaling elements requires an increased channel bandwidth over standard ASK.
ASK demodulators (detectors) can be either asynchronous or synchronous. An asynchronous detector does not use a reference carrier to recover the ASK amplitude changes. A synchronous detector recovers the ASK amplitude changes using a reference carrier that agrees in frequency and phase with the original ASK carrier signal.
NEW TERMS AND WORDS
scaling summer - an inverting operational amplifier that allows scaling of each input before addition.
on-off keying (OOK) - a form of ASK in which the carrier is turned on to trans-mit a binary 1 and off to transtrans-mit a binary 0.

Noise can affect either the amplitude or phase of a signal. Phase noise is due to inherent delays in circuits and components. Amplitude noise can be meas-ured by determining the bit error rate (BER).
There are several ways to measure the BER. This block diagram shows the method used by the BER COUNTER block on your circuit board.
The transmitted and received data are compared bit by bit. If the bits do not match, an error pulse is generated. The errors are totalized in a counter over a fixed time period generated by a one-shot. A display indicates how many err-ors occurred within the time interval.
NEW TERMS AND WORDS
bandpass noise - noise that occurs over a band of frequencies, but not out-side those frequencies.
bit error rate (BER) - the number of incorrect bits received in reference to the total number of bits transmitted.
external noise - noise originating outside a communications system that can enter the system via the channel.
internal noise - noise originating inside a circuit or component in a transmitter or receiver.
low-pass noise - noise that ranges from dc to a certain cutoff frequency. noise - random, undesirable electrical energy that can interfere with the transmitted message in a communications system.
shot noise - random noise introduced by current flow in a semiconductor junction.
signal-to-noise ratio - the ratio of signal amplitude to noise amplitude. thermal noise - internal noise generated by thermal agitation of atoms.
white noise - a type of noise that has the same amount of energy over a wide range of frequencies.

• An XOR gate is used because an error can be defined as a condition where the received data is not the same as the transmitted data.
• Each time you press and release the RESET pushbutton, the control circuit simultaneously resets the counter and triggers a 106 ms one-shot. In your circuit, 106 ms is the time required for 128 data bits.
• Error pulses from the XOR gate are totalized by the counter only during the 106 ms window.
• If you press and release RESET a second time, only the number of error pulses in the second interval is displayed.
CMs AVAILABLE
CM7 - Changes the channel bandwidth to 1600 Hz. CM15 - Changes the channel noise frequency.
FAULTS AVAILABLE None required.
PROCEDURE
The 22 procedure steps in this exercise include the following: • apply a sine wave signal to the channel
• observe the effects of channel band-limiting on the recovered signal • observe inputs and outputs with an oscilloscope
• add noise to the signal and observe the effects on the recovered signal • observe the effects of changes in the noise bandwidth
• convert your peak-to-peak measurements to rms values • calculate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in decibels
• determine the bit error count of an NRZ signal applied to the channel • calculate the bit error rate (BER) from the bit error count

EXERCISE 6-2 The Effects of Noise on ASK/PSK
EXERCISE OBJECTIVE
Explain and demonstrate the effects of noise on ASK- and PSK-modulated signals.
DISCUSSION
• Noise can cause errors in digital transmission by causing logic levels to be read incorrectly.
• Zero volts is much smaller than the amplitude of a normal ASK signal, so noise is often not sufficient to affect the recovered digital signal.
• A low zero-state amplitude condition results in better noise immunity. • Because the PSK signal has a constant amplitude, it is not as sensitive to

EXERCISE 6-3 The Effects of Noise on FSK
EXERCISE OBJECTIVE
6-13
DISCUSSION
• Noise can change the amplitude of an FSK signal, which also affects the amplitude at the output of the bandpass filter.
• Amplitude changes are passed on to the envelope detector which results in errors in the recovered digital signal.
• FSK signals can be detected either synchronously or asynchronously.
• Synchronous detection provides better amplitude noise response because the phase comparator senses phase changes independent of the signal amplitude. • In the case of asynchronous detection, noise response is improved by the
bandpass filter. Any noise frequencies outside the passband are attenuated by the filter.
• Noise frequencies above the high cutoff frequency and below the low cutoff frequency will be rejected by the channel.
• Telephone circuits are designed to pass a bandwidth limited to about 300 to 3000 Hz, which includes the high and low FSK carrier frequencies. Any noise frequencies outside the passband are attenuated.
CMs AVAILABLE
CM10 - Selects the FSK phase comparator filter in the sync detector PLL circuit.
FAULTS AVAILABLE None required.
PROCEDURE
The 44 procedure steps in this exercise include the following:
• observe the effects of noise on an FSK-modulated, synchronously-detected signal
• observe the effects of noise on an asynchronously-detected FSK signal • observe inputs and outputs with an oscilloscope
• compare the noise response of the sync and async detectors with an FSK signal applied
• demonstrate that the sync detector has better noise immunity than the async detector
