ECE 4371, Fall, 2010Introduction to Telecommunication Engineering/Telecommunication Laboratory Zhu Han Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Class 5 Sep. 7th, 2010
Overview • Financial Aid Opportunity: 3 REU • Some materials are not according to book • PLL • AM broadcasting. • TV, analog. (digital will be studied later) • Midterm 1, 10/5: analog only
Satellite Communications • Large communication area. Any two places within the coverage of radio transmission by satellite can communicate with each other. • Seldom effected by land disaster ( high reliability) • Circuit can be started upon establishing earth station (prompt circuit starting) • Can be received at many places simultaneously, and realize broadcast, multi-access communication economically( feature of multi-access) • Very flexible circuit installment , can disperse over-centralized traffic at any time. • One channel can be used in different directions or areas (multi-access connecting).
Carrier Recover Error • DSB: e(t)=2m(t)cos(wct)cos((wc+ w)t+) e(t)=m(t) cos((w)t+) • Phase error: if fixed, attenuation. If not, shortwave radio • Frequency error: catastrophic beating effect • SSB, only frequency changes, f<30Hz. • Donald Duck Effect • Crystal oscillator, atoms oscillator, GPS, … • Pilot: a signal, usually a single frequency, transmitted over a communications system for supervisory, control, equalization, continuity, synchronization, or reference purposes.
Phase-Locked Loop • Can be a whole course. The most important part of receiver. • Definition: a closed-loop feedback control system that generates and outputs a signal in relation to the frequency and phase of an input ("reference") signal • A phase-locked loop circuit responds both to the frequency and phase of the input signals, automatically raising or lowering the frequency of a controlled oscillator until it is matched to the reference in both frequency and phase.
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) • W(t)=wc+ce0(t), where wc is the free-running frequency • Example
Ideal Model • Model • Si=Acos(wct+1(t)), Sv=Avcos(wct+c(t)) • Sp=0.5AAv[sin(2wct+1+c)+sin(1-c)] • So=0.5AAvsin(1-c)=AAv(1-c) • Capture Range and Lock Range LPF VCO
Carrier Acquisition in DSB-SC • Signal Squaring method • Costas Loop • SSB-SC not working
PLL Applications • Clock recovery: no pilot • Deskewing: circuit design • Clock generation: Direct Digital Synthesis • Spread spectrum: • Jitter Noise Reduction • Clock distribution
AM Broadcasting • History • Frequency • Long wave: 153-270kHz • Medium wave: 520-1,710kHz, AM radio • Short wave: 2,300-26,100kHz, long distance, SSB, VOA • Limitation • Susceptibility to atmospheric interference • Lower-fidelity sound, news and talk radio • Better at night, ionosphere.
Superheterodyne vs. homodyne • Move all frequencies of different channels to one medium freq. • In AM receivers, that frequency is 455 kHz, • for FM receivers, it is usually 10.7 MHz. • Filter Design Concern • Accommodate more radio stations • Edwin Howard Armstrong
Television Digital Display (CRT) Analog Display (TV) Eliminate flicker effects

Bandwidth VSB and QAM
NTSC, PAL, and SECAM • National Television System Committee • Low complexity, higher vertical color resolution • 525 line/60Hz(30frames per second) • Phase Alternative Line: PAL • The phase of the color components is reversed from line to line • Robust to Multipath, phase distortion • 625line/50Hz(25 frames per second), slightly larger bandwidth • SECAM • Requires the receiver to memorize the content of each line • Mono when used for different standards
Why is it Changing for Digital TV? • No snow, no static, no ghosts • Higher resolution images, and Sound • Additional channels • Frees up Bandwidth for Other Important Needs • More Options • Improved captions (but not without pain) • Interactive TV • TV to your Cell Phone or PDA? (Iphone, Asia) Digital is Better
Resolution Clearer and More Detailed ATSC ATSC
Digital TV Displays as Pixels • Signal is just a bunch of bits • Define color and intensity of each point on the screen • Bit stream is heavily compressed • Captions are also digital And That’s the News, Tonight 1010011000101101110100110001011011
Connector Overview • Coaxial Cable • Composite • S-Video • Component • HDMI Common Connectors From Cable, Satellite or Antenna to set top box or TV Yellow is video + Red and White for Audio Carries Video with improved Quality Red, Blue, Green (RGB) is Video, + Red and White for Audio Digital quality and does captions Newest, Best all digital Video and audio, but doesn’t do encoded captions
Summary • Feb 17, 2009: Analog Broadcasts Stop • Digital TVs Should be Fine • High Definition Video and Audio • Some Requirements to Get Captions • Learn where captions will be decoded • Learn how to control • Use the right connectors • More Options for Captions • Color • Font size and style • Opacity • Analog TVs Will Still Work With Digital/Analog Converter • Cable and Satellite Subscribers (May have to trade in STB) • Cable and Satellite Subscribers may still want a D/A Converter for emergencies • Must Buy Converter Box To View Over The Air Signal on Analog TV • Wait until you know what you need • Don’t wait until the coupons are gone • Only have 90 days after you receive coupon • Expect Problems and Learning Curve on Captions Be Prepared Check out the features and convenience of TVs, STBs, converters, cables etc. Some can be very inconvenient.
