Optical Fiber Cable (1m) 3. Patch chords 4. Jumper to crocodile wires 5. Power supply 6. Volt meter & Ammeter THEORY : In optical fiber communication system, electrical signal is first converted into optical signal with the help of E / O conversion device as LED. After this optical signal is transmitted through optical fiber, it is retrieved in its original electrical form with the help of O / E conversion device as photo detector. The most significant features of LEDs, which are used for optical communication include high modulation rate capability, high radiance, high reliability and emission wavelengths restricted to the near infrared spectral regions of low attenuation in fibers. Photo detectors usually come in variety of forms like photo conductive, photovoltaic, transistor type output and diode type output. Here also characteristics to be taken into account are response time of the detector, which puts the limitation on the operating frequency, wavelength sensitivity and responsivity.

18 MODE CHARACTERISTICS OF OPTICAL FIBER EXP.NO : DATE : AIM : To study the mode characteristics of fiber optic cable and observe the lower order Linearly Polarized (LP) modes. EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED : 1. LASER Source (633 nm 1mW) 2. Source to Fiber Coupler 3. Single Mode Fiber 4. Fiber Holding Stand 5. Opaque Screen THEORY : The central spot carries 95% of the intensity for laser beams with Gaussian profile. I = I o e -2(r / w) ^2 where e = is the base of the natural logarithm. An accepted definition of a radius of a Gaussian beam is the distance at which the beam intensity has dropped to 1/e2 = times its peak value Io. This radius is called spot size. The spot diameter is w. Spot Diameter (d) micron = Focal length of the Lens (f) mm x Laser beam full divergence angle (DA) mrad. In order to achieve maximum coupling efficiency, the fiber core diameter has to be bigger than the spot diameter. NA rays = Laser Beam Diameter (B.D.) 2 x Lens Focal Length (f) The source coupler is comprised of two base plates. One of the base plates contains a focusing lens and a female connector receptacle. The other base plate is attached onto the laser. An O-ring is sandwiched between the base plates. Threaded screws interconnect the two base plates. A screw driver to alter the angular orientation of one base plate relative to the other can then adjust the screws. Panimalar Engineering College 13 ISO 9001:2000

19 The number of modes propagating through the fiber depends on V-number. If the fiber whose V-number is less than 2.045, it allows to propagate single mode through it, so it is called as Single Mode fiber. For a Multimode fiber, V-number is slightly greater than but the number of allowed modes is small enough so that they may be individually identified when the output of the fiber is examined. When V < 2.045, then only a single mode may propagate in the fiber waveguide. This mode is HE 11 mode or LP 01 Linearly Polarized mode. When V > 2.045, other modes may propagate, when V is slightly greater than i.e. V = 4.91 then 4 Linearly Polarized modes will propagate through fiber. PROCEDURE : 1. Keep optical bread board onto original and flat table surface, so that it will not toggle. 2. Fix the pre-fitted cylindrical head of the He-Ne laser source on to the surface of the bread board from the bottom side with the help of Allen screws provided with it. Confirm the rigid ness of the mount. 3. Fix the laser to the fiber coupler mount on to the bread board with base plate orientation of it towards He-Ne laser exit. 4. Turn on the He-Ne laser and locate the beam spot on the central portion of the laser-fiber coupling lens assembly by adjusting the vertical and horizontal travel arrangement provided with the mount. Tighten the screws of the vertical and horizontal slots. 5. Now look for the back reflection of the He-Ne laser spot from the rod lens of the coupler. In case if you found the back spot, away from the exit of the cylindrical laser head of the laser, adjust the back-reflected spot going back in exit hole by slowly moving the four screws provided for the laser mount. 6. Confirm the central alignment of the laser beam at the exit of the laser fiber coupler by putting a white card sheet and zooming the spot on to it. In case the spot is found of center, adjust it to the center by slightly moving the screws of the laser mount. Panimalar Engineering College 14 ISO 9001:2000

20 7. Put the multimode optical patch cord on to the laser fiber coupler exit and fix the other end of the fiber in the fiber holding stand by moving the grub screws provided with the holder. 8. Notice the bright laser beam spot coming out of the fiber. Adjust the height of exit tip of the fiber to about 50mm. Min. from the white sheet of the paper. 9. Observe the bright round shape circular spot with laser speckle pattern on to the screen. Multimode pattern can be refined by screws provided with laserfiber coupler. Slightly adjusting or moving the screws on the laser mount, view the change in pattern of this multimode spot. 10. After observing the multimode pattern, change multimode fiber optic patch cord with single mode fiber patch cord. 11. For single mode patch cord, the blur pattern of the various single mode patterns will appear on the screen. That is, single circular two lobes, three lobes and four lobes patterns can be very well observed by slightly adjusting the Allen screws of the laser-fiber coupler. OBSERVATION & CALCULATION : Parameter of given fiber are, A = 4.5μm (core radius), N.A = 0.11, λ = 633nm V = 2 π x A x N.A / λ = 4.91 From fig. shows only 4 LP modes propagates. Total number of modes = V 2 / 2 = / 2 = 12 RESULT : Thus the mode characteristics of fiber optic cable are studied and the lower order Linearly Polarized modes are observed Panimalar Engineering College 15 ISO 9001:2000

22 MEASUREMENT OF LOSSES IN OPTICAL FIBER EXP.NO : DATE : AIM : fiber. To measure the propagation loss, bending loss and connector loss in the optical EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED : 1. Optical Trainer Kit (FCL-01 & 02) 2. 1, 3 Meter & Connectorized Fiber Cable 3. Patch Chords 4. Power Supply 5. CRO THEORY : Optical fibers are available in different variety of materials. These materials are usually selected by taking into account their absorption characteristics for different wavelengths of light. In case of optical fiber, since the signal is transmitted in the form of light, which is completely different in nature as that of electrons, one has to consider the interaction of matter with the radiation to study the losses in fiber. Losses are introduced in fiber due to various reasons. As light propagates from one end of fiber to another end, part of it is absorbed in the material exhibiting absorption loss. Also part of the light is reflected back or in some other direction from the impurity particles present in the material contributing to the loss of the signal at the other and of the fiber. In general terms, it is known as propagation loss. Plastic fibers have higher loss of the order of 180 db/km. whenever the condition for angle of incidence of the incident light is violated, the losses are introduced due to refraction of light. This occurs when fiber is subjected to bending. Lower the radius of curvature more is the loss. Other losses are due to the coupling of fiber at LED & photo detector ends. Panimalar Engineering College 17 ISO 9001:2000

While connecting this, ensure that the power supply is OFF. 2. Keep the jumpers JP1, JP2, JP3 & JP4 on FCL-01 as shown in fig. 3. Keep the jumpers JP1 & JP2 on FCL-02 as shown in fig. 4. Keep switch S2 in VI position on FCL Switch on the power supply. 6. Slightly unscrew the cap of LED SFH756V (660nm). Do not remove the cap from the connector. Once the cap is loosened, insert the 1 meter fiber into the cap. Now tighten the cap by screwing it back. 7. Now rotate the optical power control pot P3 in FCL-01 in anticlockwise direction. This ensures minimum current flow through LED. 8. Slightly unscrew the cap of Photo Diode SFH250V. Do not remove the cap from the connector.

Observe the signal strength by adjusting the TRANSMITTER LEVEL using Intensity control pot P Measure the light output using the SIGNAL STRENGTH section of the kit. The loss will be larger for a longer piece of fiber. In order to measure the loss in the fiber a short piece of fiber is used as a reference from the LIGHT TRANSMITTER.

26 13. Now remove the 1 meter and insert the 3 meter fiber. 14. Loss in optical fiber systems is usually measured in db. Loss of fiber itself is measured in db per meter. 15. Subtract the length of the short fiber from the length of the long fiber to get the difference in the fiber lengths (3m 1m). The extra length of two meters is what created the extra loss measured. Then take the signal strength reading obtained for the loss of the long fiber and convert it to db using the equation. Power = 10 log (P2 / P1) db. P2 Reference reading by 1 meter fiber. P1 Reference obtained after replacing 3 meter fiber. B) MEASUREMENT OF BENDING LOSS 1. Keep the connections with 1 meter fiber as per the above procedure. 2. Adjust the transmitter power so that the SIGNAL STRENGTH reading is 8. Now take the portion of the fiber and loop it to match the bends as shown in fig. As you match each bends write down the reading from signal strength indicator. Don t bend the fiber too tightly or it may not come back to shape. 3. Measure the loss for a number of different bends. C) MEASUREMENT OF CONNECTOR LOSS 1. Keep the connections with 1 meter fiber as per the above procedure. 2. Adjust the transmitter power so that the SIGNAL STRENGTH reading is Remove the 1 meter fiber and insert 0.5 meter connectorized fibers through connecting sleeve. What reading you get on the signal strength? Now take your loss from this measurement, say 7dB and subtract it from 8dB. Your connector loss is then 8dB 7dB = 1dB this is actual connector loss. RESULT : Thus the losses in optical fiber are measured. Panimalar Engineering College 21 ISO 9001:2000

Basically, a fiber optic link contains three main elements, a transmitter, an optical fiber and a receiver. The transmitter module takes the input signal in electrical form and then transforms it into optical (light) energy containing the same information. The optical fiber is the medium, which carries this energy to the receiver. At the receiver, light is converted back into electrical form with the same pattern as originally fed to the transmitter.

NA Measurement JIG 4. Ruler 5. Power Supply THEORY : Numerical aperture is a characteristic parameter of any given fiber s light gathering capability defined by the sine of half angle over which a fiber can accept light. It refers to the maximum angle at which the light incident on the fiber end is totally internally reflected and is transmitted properly along the fiber. The cone formed by the rotation of this angle along the axis of the fiber is the cone of acceptance of the fiber. The light ray should strike the fiber end within its cone of acceptance; else it is refracted out of the fiber core. PROCEDURE : 1. Make connections as shown in fig.

38 CHARACTERISTICS OF REFLEX KLYSTRON EXP.NO : DATE : AIM : tuning range. To study the characteristics of the reflex klystron and to determine its electronic EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED : Klystron Power Supply, Klystron Tube with Klystron Mount, Isolator, Variable Attenuator, Frequency Meter, Detector Mount, Waveguide Stands, VSWR Meter, CRO, Cables and Accessories. THEORY : The reflex klystron makes the use of velocity modulation to transform a continuous electron beam into microwave power. Electrons emitted from the cathode are accelerated and passed through the positive resonator towards negative reflector, which retards and finally reflects the electrons and the electrons turn back through resonator. Suppose an RF -field exists between the resonators the electrons traveling forward will be accelerated or retarded, as the voltage at the resonator changes in amplitude. The accelerated electrons leave the resonator at an increased velocity and the retarded electrons leave at the reduced velocity. The electrons leaving the resonator will need different time to return, due to change in velocities. As a result, returning electrons group together in bunches, As the electron bunches pass through resonator, they interact with voltage at resonator grids. If the bunches pass the grid at such a time that the electrons are slowed down by the voltage then energy will be delivered to the resonator; and klystron will oscillate. The frequency is primarily determined by the dimensions of resonant cavity. Hence, by changing the volume of resonator, mechanical tuning of klystron is possible, Also a small frequency change can be obtained by adjusting the reflector voltage. This is called electronic tuning Panimalar Engineering College 33 ISO 9001:2000

EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED : Gunn Power Supply, Gunn Oscillator, PIN Modulator, Isolator, Variable Attenuator, Frequency Meter, Detector Mount, Waveguide Stands, VSWR Meter, CRO, Cables and Accessories. THEORY : The Gunn oscillator is based on negative differential conductivity effect in bulk semiconductors, which has two conduction bands minima separated by an energy gap. A disturbance at the cathode gives rise to high field region, which travels towards the anode. When this high field domain reaches the anode, it disappears and another domain is formed at the cathode and starts moving towards anode and so on. The time required for domain to travel from cathode to anode (transit time) gives oscillation frequency. In a Gunn oscillator, the Gunn diode is placed in a resonant cavity. In this case the oscillation frequency is determined by cavity dimension then by diode itself. Although Gunn oscillator can be amplitude modulated with the bias voltage. We have used separate PIN modulator through PIN diode for square wave modulation. A measure of the square wave modulation capability is the modulation depth i.e. the output ratio between, ON and OFF state. Panimalar Engineering College 37 ISO 9001:2000

EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED : Gunn Power Supply, Gunn Oscillator, PIN Modulator, Isolator, Variable Attenuator, Frequency Meter, Detector Mount, Two Horn Antenna, Turn Table, VSWR Meter, CRO, Cables and Accessories. THEORY : If a transmission line propagating energy is left open at one end, there will be radiation from this end. In case of a rectangular wave-guide this antenna presents a mismatch of about 2:1 and it radiates in many directions. The match will improve if the open wave-guide is a horn shape. The radiation pattern of an antenna is a diagram of field strength or more often the power intensity as a function of the aspect angle at a constant distance from the radiating antenna. An antenna pattern is of course three-dimensional but for practical reasons it is normally presented as a two dimensional pattern in one or several planes. An antenna pattern consists of several lobes, the main lobe, side lobes and the back lobe. The major power is concentrated in the main lobe and it is required to keep the power in the side lobes and back lobe as low as possible. The power intensity at the maximum of the main lobe compared to the power intensity achieved from an imaginary omni-directional antenna (radiating equally in all directions) with the same power fed to the antenna is defined as gain of the antenna.

CRO THEORY : In case of communication systems, signals, which are transmitted usually, carry voice or video information with them & are interpreted by human eye or ears, which have slow response. Persistence of vision as well as of hearing has given rise to the concept of time division multiplexing. In time division multiplexing various signals are sampled and transmitted for a fixed duration of time one after the other.

80 STUDY OF RS-232 SERIAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TWO COMPUTERS USING FIBER OPTIC DIGITAL LINK EXP.NO : DATE : AIM : The study of this experiment is to connect the RS-232 ports of two computers using Optical Fiber Digital Link, transmit data from one computer over this link and receive the same data on the other computer. APPARATUS REQUIRED : 1. FCL FG-02 with power cable 3. 1 meter Fiber cable 4. Patch chords 5. Serial cables-2 Nos. 6. Power Supply (use only one provided) MHz Dual Channel Oscilloscope 8. Computers-PC, PC/XT, 386 or 486-One or two Nos. THEORY : Microprocessor is a parallel device. It transfers the 8, 16, or 32 bit of data simultaneously over the data lines. The number of data lines depends upon the type of microprocessor used in the system. This is parallel I/O mode of the data transfer. However in many situations the parallel data transfer is either impractical or impossible. This is every expensive and noisy especially the distances are large. Also some devices such as CRT or CTD are not designed for parallel I/O. Moreover in many scientific and industrial process control applications, the devices under control are at the site or plant, which may be long enough from control room. In these situations, the serial I/O mode is used wherein only one bit at a time is transferred over a single cable. This cable ma be a normal cable or an optical fiber. Panimalar Engineering College 75 ISO 9001:2000

81 Very important advantage of serial mode of data transfer is that it is inexpensive. Also the data is accurately transferred and received through the link. It is daily practice to put checks for the data and framing it. Uncorrupted data transfer is greatest advantage of serial mode, and exactly this is the reason behind the fact that serial mode is preferred in many applications. This plays vital role in many applications like PC-to-PC Data Communication, Industrial Process controls, Robotics, CNC and DNC (Distributed numerical control) and many more. So it is necessary to have some system, which will perform serial I/O operation between PC and outside device using optical fiber link. PROCEDURE : 1. Make connections as given diagram. Connect the power supply cables with proper polarity to FCL-03 kit. While connecting this, ensure that the power supply is OFF. 2.

90 S PARAMETERS MEASUREMENT OF MICRO STRIP DEVICES EXP.NO : DATE : AIM : Analyzer To measure the S parameters of Micro Strip devices using Scalar Network EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED : Scalar Network Analyzer, SNA 2550 Software Installed System, Power supply, MH USB Cable 2.0, Short Bridge Cable 50 ohm, Short Connector, Micro Strip Component Training System, Directional Coupler, 3dB Power Divider & Ring Resonator THEORY : NETWORK ANALYSER The use of slotted line for microwave measurements has the disadvantage that the amplitude and phase measurements are limited to single frequencies. Therefore, broadband testing is very time consuming and manpower cost is very high. The network analyzer measures both amplitude and phase of a signal over a wide frequency range within a reasonable time. PROCEDURE : SETTING THE SYSTEM The basic measurements involve an accurate reference signal which must be generated with respect to which the test signal amplitude and phase are measured. 1. Test signal is transmitted through the Device Under Test (DUT), while the reference signal passes through the phase equalizing length of line. 2. Processing microwave frequencies is not practical, hence both the test and reference signals are converted to fixed intermediate frequency by means of a harmonic frequency converter.
