Module TPS - 3421

Analog Communication Training System




Technical Characteristics

The trainer is enclosed in a metal case, which has a wide experiment printed circuit board (22 cm x 34 cm). This ensures easy handling and good visibility of the components.

The components are located on the board, which has a silkscreen print of the analytical circuit and component drawings. The central part of the experiment board includes all the circuit block drawings and the all the hands-on components and test points.

The fixed components are located on the circuit board under a sturdy transparent cover.

The system includes a built-in power supply with +12V, +5V, and variable DC voltage outlets. An included external low AC voltage power adapter feeds the system. The system includes:
• RC oscillator
• Crystal oscillator


• Wein bridge oscillator
• Pre-amplifier with microphone
• AM/FM modulator
• RF transmitter and antenna
• Tuner RF amplifier and antenna
• Mixer and frequency converter
• Resonator tuned amplifier with AGC circuit
• Band pass filter and slope detector
• PLL, VCO, and FM detector
• AM detector
• Audio amplifier, volume potentiometer, and speaker
• SES Lab unit with two-channel scope and function generator, which communicates with a PC to control the function generator and display the scope’s signals, including spectrum analysis
• PC software for SES lab unit (optional)

Objectives

This course introduces the student to analog AM/FM communication. The course provides comprehensive hands-on experiments in measuring radio signals, oscillators, amplifiers, filters, modulators, demodulators, mixers, and AM/FM communication circuits.

Description

The system is stand-alone, containing all the necessary electronics components needed for performing the experiments.

The system includes the SES Lab unit with two-channel oscilloscope and a function generator, which communicates with a PC to control the function generator and display the scope’s signals, including spectrum analysis.

The built-in function generator also can be operated manually, controlled by the embedded micro-controller.
A sine or triangular waveform at a constant or sweep frequency is available.
