The main purpose of a radio receiver is to intercept and decode the radio waves. All radio receivers MUST contain at least these,
1.Antenna system,2.Tuned circuit,3.Detector4.Transducer
When the sound signal is mixed with the carrier frequency then the frequency of the carrier wave remains the same but the amplitude of the carrier changes with the amplitude of the signal. In this case when the amplitude of the carrier waves changes with the amplitude of the sound signals, then the modulation is said to be the Amplitude Modulation or AM.
This type of amplitude modulation is characterized by a lot of disturbance and noise. Consequently, the quality and clarity of the transmitted sound is not quite good. When these AM signal is received on the radio receivers then the quality of the sound reproduced also remains poor.
The main objective of the Super heterodyne receiver is to produce an intermediate frequency (IF) by the process of heterodyne or beating. This can be accomplished when two frequencies are mixed to produce the beat frequency .In superhets, the IF is usually 455 kHz which is selected because the broadcast band begins above that frequency. So if we imagine a situation when the RF amplifier is tuned to receive a 800KHz broadcast signal the local oscillator must be tuned to 1255 kHz which will result in an IF of 455KHz(1255-800 kHz). Since we have to tune the RF amplifier section throughout the entire broadcast band, the frequency of the local oscillator must also vary in a manner that it always maintains a gap of 455kHz. To achieve this condition, the local oscillator and the RF amplifier section are ?ganged ?, i.e., their tuning condensers are connected /ganged mechanically in such a way that when we tune the variable capacitor in the RF section, the variable capacitor in the local oscillator also changes its value it ?tracks? the frequency to which the ?aerial circuit ?is tuned and remain separated from the tuned frequency by 455kHz up. The intermediate frequency (IF), which is considerably low frequency is being used, because it is a suitable
The demonstrator has several test points for observations. Using these test points, waveforms of incoming signals can be observed using a high frequency oscilloscope.
The test points brought out for observations are:
Frequency Modulation:
Frequency modulation is specially known for its good clarity of sound. When the sound signal and the carrier waves mixed in such manner that the amplitude of the carrier waves remains unchanged but its frequency changes with the amplitude of he sound signal then this type of modulation is called
the frequency modulation or more commonly as FM.The rate at which the frequency of the carrier waves changes depends on the frequency of he sound signal. Thus the frequency of the carrier waves depends on both the amplitude and the frequency of the sound signal in this type of frequency modulation. Clarity of transmitted sound signal and low noise is the benefit of the frequency modulation technique. It is necessary to keep the frequency of the carrier waves at a very high level in the FM transmission. The FM range for radio broadcast is from 88MHz-108MHz.
In FM the total transmitted power always remains constant and useful. Frequency Modulation is a non-linear modulation process. Consequently the spectrum of a FM wave is not related in a simple manner to that of the modulating wave.
Several Test points are available for waveform observations. They are
The Cordless Telephone supplied here is only a demonstrator. The front panel of the kit has the following
a) Charge/Line Indicatorb) Supply ON/OFF Switchc) Telephone Line Adapter
The Charge / Line Indicator will glow when the kit is in function. Also the LED glows if charging is done. The kit can be switched ON or OFF by the supply switch. The telephone line is connected to the jack provided.
The Cordless Telephone operates at a frequency that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; the base unit should be placed near or the top of the TV or VCR and, if interference is experienced, moving the Cordless Telephone farther away from the TV and VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
The magnetic tape-recording works on the principle of storing sound signals by magnetizing the ferromagnetic tape in proportion to audio signals. The tape is moved through a magnetic field produced in a small gap of the recording head when audio signals are applied. As a result, the ferromagnetic coating of the tape gets magnetized in proportion to the intensity and polarity of the magnetizing field. The tape moves past the recording head-gap at a uniform speed and presents a clean unrecorded medium across the recording head-gap on which information is recorded instant by instant. During replay, the recorded tape is passed across the replay head-gap at the same speed and direction as used in recording. Some of the magnetic flux lines from the elemental magnets in the tape pass around the laminations of the replay-head as these tiny magnets pass across the gap, because the core of the head provides a low reluctance path as compared to the air gap. Since different sections of tape have different magnetization's, the magnetic field in the core of the replay-head will be continuously changing, causing an induced e.m.f. in the replay-coil wound on the core of the head. This e.m.f. is proportional to the rate of change of flux-linkage and, therefore, gives the audio-signal that has been recorded on the tape.
A magnetic tape-recorder consists of three main parts:a) Tape transport mechanism commonly known as Tape deck.b) Record, Replay and Erase heads.c) Record, Replay amplifier and bias oscillator.

Video Cassette Recorder is a highly complex electro mechanical system. Most of the time, it can be repaired by visually inspecting the mechanism. A reason can be a worn-out rubber wheel can be the cause for a bad picture. A simple cleaning procedure can set right a visible fault.
It is necessary to understand that all modern tape recorders use dedicated electronics parts, like controllers, power device, active and passive components, all made of them may be surface mounted devices. However a formal education in this will help a technician to be more proficient in troubleshooting techniques. While it is difficult to trouble shoot electronic parts, namely surface mounted devices (SMDs), it certainly provides necessary skills identify which part to be replaced. This demonstrator provides such skills.
Before you begun to study about VCR, you need to understand its territory. This section deals with how a VCR's mechanical deck is laid out, the individual parts and what they do. Developing an understanding of how it all works together goes a long way towards acquiring successful knowledge of VCR.
It is possible to view the following components in the trainer. They are
Now that you understand the individual parts and what they do, it is time to know how they work. The VCR Demonstrator is supplied with the following.
Video Cassette Recorder Demonstrator with various faults introduced in them by switch mechanism. They are:
This trainer is a dynamic demonstrator. It is intended to study how various activities are performed inside a CD player system. While it is difficult to demonstrate all the above mentioned principles, because of the presence of the surface mounted devices, Principle block signals are displayed for waveform observations only. Various faults are introduced in this trainer, wherever possible, like PLAY/PAUSE, FORWARD, SKIP, REVERSE, OPEN and CLOSE, POWER SUPPLY, SMPS etc. In addition to this a hand-held remote control will also be provided.
How CD (Compact Disk) player works: Converting sound into numbers:In a digital recording system, sound is stored and manipulated as a stream of discrete numbers. A microphone connected to a circuit generates the numbers. Each number is called a SAMPLE, and the number of samples taken per second is the SAMPLE RATE. Ultimately, the numbers will be converted back into sound by a DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERTER or DAC, connected to a loudspeaker. Once the waveform is faithfully transformed into bits, it is recorded on a Compact Disc. The bits are represented as microscopic pits burned into the plastic by a laser. To read the data, light from a gentler laser is reflected off the surface of the into a light detector. Digital circuits are complex, but very few of the components must be precise; most of the circuitry merely responds to the presence or absence of current.
This system is mounted in an ergonomically designed cabinet. All the moving parts are visible for observation. It works on 230V AC power inlet.
The basic signaling pattern used in this pager is a sequence of coded binary data using the Post Office Code Standardization Advisory Group (POCSAG) code. The POCSAG code is a synchronous paging format that allows pages to be transmitted in a simple batch structure. The code accommodates both tone-only. The POCSAG code also provides improved battery-saving capability and an increased code capacity. The negative logic convention (?0?= high, ?1? =low) is used in this system.
The POCSAG code format consists of a preamble and one or more batches of code words. Each batch comprises a 32-bit frame-synchronization code and eight 64-bit addresses frames of two 32-bit addresses or idle code words each. The frame-synchronization code makes the start of the batch code words.
The pager is a localized instrument. It means the pager instrument accepts the, paged information from the transmitter. The effective of range of reception is usually in the range of 25 to 40KM from the transmitter. So it can be termed as a localized instrument. Another example of a localized instrument is a FM transmitter and receiver.
The front panel of this pager trainer has all the important and necessary blocks of a pager. This contains several test points for waveform observations only. This has an alphanumeric LCD panel for displaying the incoming message.
NOTE: You must send a pager instrument duly registered with a service provider in your area, while placing the purchase order. The scope of usage of this trainer is restricted to the extent of observing the waveforms only. There should be a transmitter and a service provider available in your area for actual demonstration and waveform observations.
The oscilloscope is basically a graph-displaying device - it draws a graph of an electrical signal. In most applications the graph shows how signals change over time: the vertical (Y) axis represents voltage and the horizontal (X) axis represents time
This is a dynamic demonstrator. It is intended to study how the oscilloscope works. Signals from various blocks of the oscilloscope are terminated on different terminals terminated on the front panel of the demonstrator. Since longer lengths of wires are used for terminating the test points, performance of the oscilloscope will be degraded.
FAX is the abbreviation of facsimile process. A FAX machine is highly elector-mechanical machine. A FAX machine can send or receive pictures and text over a telephone line. The principle of FAX machine is by digitizing an image dividing it into a grid of DOTS (One) and NO DOTS (Zero) at high resolution. This is called as bitmap. This works more on the principle of photo imaging. Each dot is either ON or OFF. The transmission of these bits is transmitted like normal computer data over telephone lines. The received data is Re-translated in the form of DOTS and NO DOTS.
A FAX machine consists of (a) an optical scanner for digitizing images on paper, (b) a printer for printing incoming FAX messages, and (c) a telephone for transmission and reception. The received data is printed on thermal paper.
Some of the features that differentiate one FAX machine from another include the following:Modem Speed: FAX machines transmit data at different rates, from 4,800 bps to 28,800 bps. A 9,600-bps FAX machine typically requires 10 to 20 seconds to transmit one page.Printer Type: A thermal printer recognizes Dots and NO dots. Wherever there is a DOT, by thermal action, it generates a Dot.Paper Cutter: This is usually an optional facility.Paper Feed: The paper from the thermal paper roles are advanced step by step, after getting a synchronizing pulse from the transmitter. The distance to which it moves horizontally and vertically is standardized.Auto dialing and time dialing: These are facilities that vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
The FAX Machine Demonstrator Model FAX-1 is intended to demonstrate the principles of FAX transmission and reception. This demonstrator can be connected to normal telephone lines for actual transmission and reception. The front panel consists of various blocks to broadly indicate the system configuration. Test points (TP) are provided wherever necessary for waveform observations using an oscilloscope.
