Digital Communications 2 FACET Board
91023-2Gallery
Description
The Digital Communications 2 module enables students to configure, operate, and troubleshoot the following circuits:
- NRZ, RZ, and Manchester Encoding and Decoding
- Clock Synchronizer
- Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) Generation
- FSK Asynchronous and Synchronous Detection
- Phase-Shift Keying (PSK) Generation
- PSK Asynchronous and Synchronous Detection
- Amplitude-Shift Keying (ASK) Generation
- ASK Asynchronous and Synchronous Detection
- Channel Effects
- FSK Modem
The circuits found on this board include:
- Line Encoding
- Modulators
- Channel Simulator
- Sync Detector
- Modem
Features & Benefits
- The Channel Simulator circuit block and a bit error rate (BER) counter enable students to evaluate the effects of noise on ASK and PSK modulated carrier signals.
- The Modem circuit block contains an FSK/DPSK modem IC, which students use in a loop-back mode to observe the entire signal path.
- Communication signals are synchronized for easy display.
