Abstract
In a communication system message signals are transferred between two entities via a
communication channel. However, depending on the channel and signal frequency domain
characteristics, the message signals produced by various information sources are not alwayssuitable for direct transmission over a given channel. When signal and channel frequency bands
do not match exactly, channels can not be moved. Hence, messages must be moved to the right
channel frequency bandwidth. Message signals must therefore be further modified to facilitate
transmission. In this conversion process known as modulation, the baseband signal is used to
modify one or more parameters of a radio-frequency(RF) carrier signal.
There are two types of modulation techniques:-
I. Analog Modulation.
II.
Digital Modulation.
In analog modulation, the message transmitted through the channel is analog in nature.
Whereas in digital modulation the message transmitted through the channel is digital. Because of
the various advantages of digital communication digital modulation is widely used.
Now, any signal can be characterized by three parameters: amplitude, phase & frequency.
Thus, by changing one or more of these three parameters of the carrier signal different
modulation schemes can be observed. Different digital modulation schemes are as follows:
Binary Amplitude Shift Keying(BASK)
Binary Phase Shift Keying(BPSK) Binary Frequency Shift Keying(BFSK)
Quadrature Amplitude Shift Keying(QASK)
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying(QPSK)
Quadrature Frequency Shift Keying(QFSK)
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation(QAM)
M-ary Amplitude Shift Keying(MASK)
M-ary Phase Shift Keying(MPSK)
M-ary Frequency Shift Keying(MFSK) etc.
In BPSK modulation technique, our topic of discussion, two different phases of the
carrier signal is used to modulate the two bits 1 and 0.
To generate the carrier signal an oscillator is required . An oscillator is an electronic
device that generates a repetitive electronic signal by using positive feedback. The main factor of

any oscillator is its stability. For the purpose of modulation different carrier signals with different
frequencies are required. If different oscillators are to be used for each of the carrier then the cost
of communication will increase sufficiently. To overcome this situation voltage controlled
oscillator is used so that one voltage source can be used to tune to different frequencies.
Analog design has historically been viewed as a voltage dominated form of signal
processing. This has been apparent in analog IC design where generally current signals are
readily transferred into the voltage domain before any analog signal processing takes place. A
key performance feature of current mode processing is inherent wide bandwidth capability.
Recent advances in integrated circuit technologies have meant that the analog IC design is now
able to exploit the potential of current mode analog signal processing, providing attractive and
elegant solutions for many circuit and system problems.
The basic building block in this project is an operational transconductance
amplifier(OTA) which is a current mode device. It is basically a cross-coupled differential
amplifier with an output current that depends on the difference in voltage at the inputs. The
reason for choosing OTA as the building block is its high bandwith, large transconductance and
good linearity property. OTA is advantageous over other current mode device like JFET,
MOSFET in the sense that OTA has the much higher capability of withstanding the noise &
atmospheric attenuation.
It has linear transconductance charactaristics with respect to the amplifier bias current,
this can be considered as a gain controlled block
It has a good power supply rejection & common mode rejection than any differential
amplifier, above other mentioned
This is the cause of choosing this device as a basic building block of our modulator.
Frequency hopping is the most popular method of transmitting/receiving radio signals by
periodically switching carrier frequencies. It is realized by using pseudo-random sequencesgenerated by hopping algorithms. As carrier frequency changes continually, it provides an
effective firewall against the adversarys ability to follow the changes in carrier frequency. Thus,the adversary encounters difficulty to recover the data or information being carried. In addition,
the frequency hopping provides an effective tool for protection against frequency jamming byadversaries.
The switching of carrier frequencies is done with the help of FCSR (Feedback Carry Shift
Register), which produces pseudo-random sequence. The basic building block of any FCSR is an
LFSR (Linear Feedback Shift Register).

MODULATION
2.1 Overview
In electronics and telecommunications, modulation is the process of varying one or more
properties of a high-frequency periodic waveform, called thecarrier signal, with a modulating
signal which typically contains information to be transmitted. Any of these properties can be
modified in accordance with a low frequency signal to obtain the modulated signal. Typically a
high-frequency sinusoid waveform is used as carrier signal, but a square wave pulse train may
also be used.
In telecommunications, modulation is the process of conveying a message signal, for
example a digital bit stream or an analog audio signal, inside another signal that can be
physically transmitted. Modulation of a sine waveform is used to transform a baseband message
signal into a passband signal, for example low-frequency audio signal into a radio-frequency
signal (RF signal). In radio communications, cable TV systems or the public switched telephone
networkfor instance, electrical signals can only be transferred over a limited passband frequency
spectrum, with specific (non-zero) lower and upper cutoff frequencies. Modulating a sine-wave
carrier makes it possible to keep the frequency content of the transferred signal as close as
possible to the centre frequency (typically the carrier frequency) of the passband.
A device that performs modulation is known as a modulator and a device that performs
the inverse operation of modulation is known as a demodulator (sometimes detectoror demod).
A device that can do both operations is a modem (from "modulatordemodulator").
If we look at a general function for a sinusoid:
we can see that this sinusoid has 3 parameters that can be altered, to affect the shape of the
graph. The first term, A, is called the magnitude, or amplitude of the sinusoid. The next term,
is known as the frequency, and the last term, is known as the phase angle. All 3 parameters can
be altered to transmit data.
The sinusoidal signal that is used in the modulation is known as the carrier signal, or
simply "the carrier". The signal that is used in modulating the carrier signal(or sinusoidal signal)
is known as the "data signal" or the "message signal". It is important to notice that a simple
sinusoidal carrier contains no information of its own.

In other words we can say that modulation is used because the some data signals are not
always suitable for direct transmission, but the modulated signal may be more suitable.
2.2 Purpose of Modulation
The aim of digital modulation is to transfer a digital bit stream over an
analog bandpass channel, for example over the public switched telephone network(wherea bandpass filter limits the frequency range to between 300 and 3400 Hz), or over a limited
radio frequency band.
The aim of analog modulation is to transfer an analog baseband (or lowpass) signal, for
example an audio signal or TV signal, over an analog bandpass channel at a differentfrequency, for example over a limited radio frequency band or a cable TV network channel.
Analog and digital modulation facilitate frequency division multiplexing (FDM),
where several low pass information signals are transferred simultaneously over the sameshared physical medium, using separate passband channels (several different carrier
frequencies).The aim of digital baseband modulation methods, also known as line coding, is to
transfer a digital bit stream over a baseband channel, typically a non-filtered copper wiresuch as a serial bus or a wired local area network.
The aim of pulse modulation methods is to transfer a narrowband analog signal, for example
a phone call over a wideband baseband channel or, in some of the schemes, as a bit streamover another digital transmission system.
2.3 Digital Modulation
In digital modulation, an analog carrier signal is modulated by a discrete signal.
Digital modulation methods can be considered as digital-to-analog conversion, and the
corresponding demodulation or detection as analog-to-digital conversion. The changes inthe carrier signal are chosen from a finite number of M alternative symbols (the modulation
alphabet).
According to one definition ofdigital signal, the modulated signal is a digital signal,and according to another definition, the modulation is a form ofdigital-to-analog
conversion. Most textbooks would consider digital modulation schemes as a form of digitaltransmission, synonymous to data transmission; very few would consider it as analog
transmission.

BPSK Modulation Using Operational Transconductance Amplifier
11
In the case ofPSK (phase-shift keying), a finite number of phases are used.
In the case ofFSK (frequency-shift keying), a finite number of frequencies are used.
In the case ofASK (amplitude-shift keying), a finite number of amplitudes are used.
In the case ofQAM (quadrature amplitude modulation), a finite number of at least two
phases, and at least two amplitudes are used.
In QAM, an inphase signal (the I signal, for example a cosine waveform) and a
quadrature phase signal (the Q signal, for example a sine wave) are amplitude modulated with a
finite number of amplitudes, and summed. It can be seen as a two-channel system, each channel
using ASK. The resulting signal is equivalent to a combination of PSK and ASK.
In all of the above methods, each of these phases, frequencies or amplitudes are assigned
a unique pattern of binary bits. Usually, each phase, frequency or amplitude encodes an equalnumber of bits. This number of bits comprises the symbol that is represented by the particular
phase, frequency or amplitude.
If the alphabet consists of alternative symbols, each symbol represents a
message consisting of N bits. If the symbol rate (also known as the baud rate) is
symbols/second (or baud), the data rate is bit/second.
For example, with an alphabet consisting of 16 alternative symbols, each symbol
represents 4 bits. Thus, the data rate is four times the baud rate.
In the case of PSK, ASK or QAM, where the carrier frequency of the modulated signal is
constant, the modulation alphabet is often conveniently represented on a constellation diagram,
showing the amplitude of the I signal at the x-axis, and the amplitude of the Q signal at the y-
axis, for each symbol.

3.1 Introduction
Communication is the activity of conveying information. Modulation is the process of
varying one or more properties of a high-frequency periodic waveform, called thecarrier signal,with a modulating signal which typically contains information to be transmitted.
There are two types of modulation analog and digital. Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK)is one digital modulation technique where the phase of the carrier signal is varied according to
the digital message signal.

The information in PSK signals resides in the carrier phase. Envelope detection can not
be used for the demodulation of BPSK signal as the envelope stays constant for both 1 and 0.
Therefore, coherent detection is used for the demodulation of BPSK signals. Here the modulated
signal is multiplied with the carrier, passed through an LPF and then sent to a decision device
which is nothing but a comparator. If the input to the decision device is greater than zero then it
decides in favour of bit 1 whereas if it is less than zero it decides in favour of bit 0.
The bit error rate (BER) of BPSK in AWGN can be calculated as

Since there is only one bit per symbol, this is also the symbol error rate .
Oscillator
4.1 Overview of Oscillator
An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a repetitive electronic signal,often a sine wave or a square wave. They are widely used in many electronic devices. Common
examples of signals generated by oscillators include signals broadcast by radio and televisiontransmitters, clock signals that regulate computers and quartz clocks, and the sounds produced by
electronic beepers and video games.
Oscillators are often characterized by the frequency of their output signal: an audio
oscillator produces frequencies in the audio range, about 16 Hz to 20 kHz. An RF oscillator
produces signals in the radio frequency (RF) range of about 100 kHz to 100 GHz. A low-
frequency oscillator (LFO) is an electronic oscillator that generates a frequency below 20 Hz.This term is typically used in the field of audio synthesizers, to distinguish it from an audiofrequency oscillator. The mathematical expression for oscillation is given by
(4.1.1)
This equation is linear in . By assumption, the parameters and depend only on time
and do notdepend on the state of the oscillator. In general, and/or are assumed tovary periodically, with the same period.
4.2Principle of Operation
An oscillator operates on the principle of positive feedback. The block diagram of a
positive feedback network is given below:

The transfer function is given by
T(s) = Vo(s) / Vi(s) = G(s) / [1+G(s)H(s)] (4.2.1)
Now, if the feedback factor G(s)H(s) = -1 , then T(s) becomes infinite and we get a very largeoutput with negligible input. This is the Barkhausen Criterion for oscillation.
Taking G(s)H(s) = x and expanding binomially, eqn (4.2.1) can be written as
Vo(s) = Vi(s)G(s) .[1+x+x2+x
3+x
4+. upto infinite.] (4.2.2)
So , when x=1 , Vo(s) = infinite.
Oscillations will not be sustained if the value of feedback factor x is less than unity.
In practice, the feedback factor is always slightly less than unity for the stability purpose.
So the eqn (4.2.2) can be written as (neglecting higher order components)
Vo(s) = Vi(s)G(s) . [1+x+x2] (4.2.3)
4.3 Stability of Oscillator
Stability of any electronic component can be expressed in terms of its Bode plot.A Bode
plot is a parametric plot of a transfer function used in automatic control and signal processing.
Illustrated in Fig 4.2, the situation can be viewed as excessive loop gain at the frequency
for which the phase shift reaches -1800 or, equivalently, excessive phase at the frequency for
ehich the loop gain drops to unity. Thus, to avoid instability, we must minimize the total phase
shift so that for |H| = 1, H is still more positive than / -1800.

It is also instructive to plot the location of poles of a closed loop system on a
complex plane. If the poles lie on the right half plane then the system will oscillate. If
they lie on the imaginary axis then the sytem will sustain oscillations. If the poles lie on
the left half then the oscillations will die out.

4.4 Types of Oscillators
There are two main types of electronic oscillator: the linear or harmonic oscillator and
the nonlinear or relaxation oscillator.

The harmonic, orlinear, oscillator produces a sinusoidal output.
The basic form of a linear oscillator is an electronic amplifier connected in a feedback
loop with its output fed back into its input through a frequency selective electronic filter to
provide positive feedback. When the power supply to the amplifier is first switched on, the
amplifier's output consists only ofnoise. The noise travels around the loop and is filtered and re-amplified until it increasingly resembles a sine wave at a single frequency.
Linear oscillator circuits can be classified according to the type of frequency selective filterthey use in the feedback loop:
In anRC oscillatorcircuit, the filter is a network ofresistors and capacitors. RCoscillators are mostly used to generate lower frequencies, for example in the audio range.
Common types of RC oscillator circuits are the phase shift oscillator and the Wien bridge
oscillator.
In anLC oscillatorcircuit, the filter is a tuned circuit (often called a tank circuit)
consisting of an inductor (L) and capacitor (C) connected together Charge flows back andforth between the capacitor's plates through the inductor, so the tuned circuit can store
electrical energy oscillating at its resonant frequency. There are small losses in the tank
circuit, but the amplifier compensates for those losses and supplies the power for the
output signal. LC oscillators are often used at radio frequencies, when a tunablefrequency source is necessary, such as in signal generators, tunable radio transmitters and
the local oscillators in radio receivers. Typical LC oscillator circuits are the Hartley,
Colpitts and Clapp circuits.
In acrystal oscillatorcircuit the filter is a piezoelectric crystal (commonly a quartz
crystal). The crystal mechanically vibrates as a resonator, and its frequency of vibrationdetermines the oscillation frequency. Crystals have very high Q-factor and also better
temperature stability than tuned circuits, so crystal oscillators have much better frequency
stability than LC or RC oscillators. They are used to stabilize the frequency of most radiotransmitters, and to generate the clock signal in computers and quartz clocks. Crystal
oscillators often use the same circuits as LC oscillators, with the crystal replacing the
tuned circuit;[2]
the Pierce oscillator circuit is commonly used. Quartz crystals are
generally limited to frequencies of 30 MHz or below. Surface acoustic wave (SAW)devices are another kind of piezoelectric resonator used in crystal oscillators, which can
achieve much higher frequencies. They are used in specialized applications which requirea high frequency reference, for example, in cellular telephones.
In addition to the feedback oscillators described above, which use two-port amplifying active
elements such as transistors and op amps, linear oscillators can also be built using one-portdevices with negative resistance, such as magnetron tubes, tunnel diodes and Gunn diodes. In
these oscillators, a resonator, such as an LC circuit, crystal, or cavity resonator, is connected
across the negative resistance device, and a DC bias voltage is applied to supply energy. The

negative resistance of the active device can be thought of as cancelling the (positive) effective
loss resistance of the resonator and permitting a sustained oscillation. These circuits are
frequently used for oscillators at microwave frequencies.
These are some of the many linear oscillator circuits:
Armstrong oscillator
Hartley oscillator
Colpitts oscillator
Clapp oscillator
Delay line oscillator
Pierce oscillator (crystal)
Phase-shift oscillator
RC oscillator (Wien Bridge and "Twin-T")
Cross-coupled LC oscillator Vack oscillator Opto-Electronic Oscillator.
2.Relaxation oscillator:
A nonlinear or relaxation oscillator produces a non-sinusoidal output, such as a square,
sawtooth or triangle wave. It contains an energy-storing element (a capacitor or, more rarely, an
inductor) and a nonlinear trigger circuit (a latch, Schmitt trigger, or negative resistance element)
that periodically charges and discharges the energy stored in the storage element thus causingabrupt changes in the output waveform.
Square-wave relaxation oscillators are used to provide the clock signal for sequential
logic circuits such as timers and counters, although crystal oscillators are often preferred for their
greater stability. Triangle wave or sawtooth oscillators are used in the timebase circuits thatgenerate the horizontal deflection signals for cathode ray tubes in analogue oscilloscopes and
television sets. In function generators, this triangle wave may then be further shaped into a close
approximation of a sine wave.
Ring oscillators are built of a ring of active delay stages. Generally the ring has an odd
number of inverting stages, so that there is no single stable state for the internal ring voltages.Instead, a single transition propagates endlessly around the ring.
Types of relaxation oscillator circuits include:
multivibrator
ring oscillator
delay line oscillator

rotary traveling wave oscillator.
Voltage controlled oscillator5.1 Overview
A voltage-controlled oscillator or VCO is an electronic oscillator designed to be
controlled in oscillationfrequency by a voltage input. The frequency of oscillation is varied by
the applied DC voltage, while modulating signals may also be fed into the VCO to cause
frequency modulation (FM) or phase modulation (PM); a VCO with digital pulse output may
similarly have its repetition rate (FSK, PSK) or pulse width modulated (PWM).
It consists of a varactor diode whose capacitance varies with the applied voltage. So by
changing the input voltage the oscillation frequency can be varied.

3.2Types of VCOs
VCOs can be generally categorized into two groups based on the type of waveform
produced: 1) harmonic oscillators, and 2) relaxation oscillators.
Harmonic oscillatorsgenerate a sinusoidal waveform. They consist of an amplifier that
provides adequate gain and a resonant circuit that feeds back signal to the input. Oscillation
occurs at the resonant frequency where a positive gain arises around the loop. Some examples ofharmonic oscillators are crystal oscillators and LC-tank oscillators. When part of the resonant

circuit's capacitance is provided by a varactor diode, the voltage applied to that diode varies the
frequency.
Relaxation oscillators can generate a sawtooth or triangular waveform. They are
commonly used in monolithic integrated circuits (ICs). They can provide a wide range of
operational frequencies with a minimal number of external components. Relaxation oscillatorVCOs can have three topologies: 1) grounded-capacitor VCOs, 2) emitter-coupled VCOs, and 3)
delay-based ring VCOs. The first two of these types operate similarly. The amount of time in
each state depends on the time for a current to charge or discharge a capacitor. The delay-basedring VCO operates somewhat differently however. For this type, the gain stages are connected in
a ring. The output frequency is then a function of the delay in each of stages.
Harmonic oscillator VCOs have these advantages over relaxation oscillators.
Frequency stability with respect to temperature, noise, and power supply is much betterfor harmonic oscillator VCOs.
They have good accuracy for frequency control since the frequency is controlled by a
crystal or tank circuit.
A disadvantage of harmonic oscillator VCOs is that they cannot be easily implemented in
monolithic ICs. Relaxation oscillator VCOs are better suited for this technology. Relaxation
VCOs are also tunable over a wider range of frequencies.
5.3 VCO time-domain equations
ftuning(t)=K0.vin(t) (5.2.1)
ftuning(t)dt=out(t) (5.2.2)
K0 is called the oscillator gain. Its units are hertz per volt.
ftuning(t) is the symbol for the time-domain waveform that is the VCO's tunable
frequency component.
out(t) is the symbol for the time-domain waveform that is the VCO's output
phase.
Vin(t) is the time-domain symbol of the control (input) voltage of the VCO; it is
sometimes also represented as vtune(t) .

Analog applications such as frequency modulation and frequency-shift keying often need
to control an oscillator frequency with an inputa voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). Thefunctional relationship between the control voltage and the output frequency may not be linear.
Over small ranges, the relationship is approximately linear, and linear control theory can be used.
5.5 VCO Parameters
The important parameters of a VCO are as follows:
Center Frequency
Tuning Range
Tuning Linearity
Output Amplitude
Power Dissipation
Supply and Common-Mode Rejection
Output Signal Purity
5.6 VCO Applications
VCOs are used in:
Function generators,
The production ofelectronic music, to generate variable tones,
Phase-locked loops,
Frequency synthesizers used in communication equipment.
Voltage-to-Frequency converters are voltage-controlled oscillators, with a highly linear
relation between applied voltage and frequency. They are used to convert a slow analog signal
(such as from a temperature transducer) to a digital signal for transmission over a long distance,since the frequency will not drift or be affected by noise. VCOs may have sine and/or square
wave outputs. Function generators are low-frequency oscillators which feature multiple
waveforms, typically sine, square, and triangle waves. Monolithic function generators arevoltage-controlled. Analog phase-locked loops typically contain VCOs. High-frequency VCOsare usually used in phase-locked loops for radio receivers. Phase noise is the most important
specification for them. Low-frequency VCOs are used in analog music synthesizers. For these,
sweep range, linearity, and distortion are often most important specs.

Phase shifter
6.1 Overview
It is an electronic device that is use to shift the phase of any signal. In the BPSK
modulation scheme, we need to use 2 phases for the two bits 1 & 0.So we need a phase shifterto provide the two phases of the same carrier signal. Thus we dont need two carrier signals, onlyone signal is enough.
If the input to the phase shifter is A.sin (wt) then the output of the phase shifter will be
A.sin (wt + ). where, is the required phase shift.

Current Mode Device7.1 Introduction
A Current Mode Device is a device where the output current of the device is a function of
the input voltage. There is often a demand in analogue signal processing for amplifier circuitsthat posses well defined current signal processing properties .Furthermore current amplifier
based circuits can offer certain high performances properties such as speed, bandwidth, accuracy
which make them more acceptable than voltage amplifier. A further consequence of the
development of current mode analogue signal processing has been the emergence of newanalogue building blocks ranging from the current conveyor and current feedback op-amps
through to sampled data current circuits such as dynamic current mirrors and analogue neuralnetwork.
7.2 Current Conveyor
A current conveyor is a four (possibly five) terminal device which when arranged with
other electronic elements in specific circuit configurations can perform many useful analog
signal processing functions.

Fig 7.1 Black box representation of the current conveyor
The current conveyor (CCI), as initially introduced is a 3-port device whose black-box
representation can be seen in Fig 7.1. the operation of this device is such that if a voltage isapplied to input terminal Y, an equal potential will appear on the input terminal X. In a similar
fashion, an input current I being forced into terminal X will result in an equal amount of current
flowing into terminal Y. As well, the current I will be conveyed to output terminal Z such that
terminal Z has the characteristics of a current source, of value I, with high output impedance. As
can be seen, the potential of X, being set up by that of Y, is independent of the current being
forced into port X. Similarly, the current through input Y, being fixed by that of X, is

independent of the voltage applied at Y. Thus the device exhibits a virtual short-circuit input
characteristic at port X and a dual virtual open-circuit input characteristic at port Y.
In mathematical terms, the input-output characteristics of CCI can be described by the
following hybrid equation
iY 0 1 0 VY
VX = 1 0 0 iX
IZ 0 +1 0 VZ (7.2.1)
Note that the + sign applies for the CCI in which both Z and X flow into the convetor,
denoted CCI+. Thesign apply for the opposite polarity case, denoted CCI-. To visualize the
interaction of the port voltages and currents described by the bove matrix equation the nullator-norator representation shown in Fig 7.2 may be helpful. In this figure, single ellipse is used to
represent the nullator element and two intersecting ellipses to represent the norator element. The
nullator element has constitutive equations V=0 and I=0 whereas the norator has an arbitrary
voltage-current relationship.

Clearly, the nullator element is used to represent the virtual short circuit apparent
between the X and Y terminals. Also included in this equivalent circuit are two dependant
current sources. These are used to convey the current at port X to ports Y and Z.
A discrete first-order implementation of the current conveyor is depicted in Fig 7.3.
Assuming that all transistors are matched and that all have high current gain, it can be shown that

the currents through transistors M3-M5 are equal. This forces transistors M1 and M2 to have
equal currents and thus equal VGSdrops. Thus X and Y track each other in both voltage and
current

Fig 7.3 First-order CMOS implementation of CCI
To increase the versatility of the current conveyor, a second version in which no currentflows in terminal Y, was introduced. This building block has since proven to be more useful than
CCI. Utilizing the same block diagram representation of Fig 7.1, CCII is described by
iY 0 0 0 VY
VX = 1 0 0 iX
IZ 0 +1 0 VZ (7.2.2)
Thus, terminal Y exhibits an infinite input impedance. The voltage at X follows that
applied to Y, thus X exhibits a zero input impedance. The current supplied to X is conveyed to
the high-impedance output terminal Z where it is supplied with either positive polarity or
negative polarity.

depicted as shown in Fig 7.4

Fig 7.4 Nullator-norator representation of CCII
In the case of CCII, the dependant current source is redundant; current flowing into
terminal X must flow out of terminal Z. Hence, the equivalent circuit of CCII can be represented

The CCII may be viewed as an ideal MOS. Gate as terminal Y, source as terminal X and

7.3 Switched Capacitor
Analog sampled-data signal processing has been dominated for the past decade by the
switched capacitor technique. Switched capacitors gained favour as a technique for
implementing active filters capable of greater precision and compactness than earlier active-RC
filters, especially in low frequency applications.
Most switched capacitor filter structures have resulted from the substitution of an active-
RC filters continuous-time integrators by switched capacitor counterparts. This approach hasbeen applied to state-variable filters and to filters which simulate the nodal voltages of lossless
ladder prototypes.

Fig 7.5 Switched capacitor non-inverting integrator
Switched capacitor integrator is shown in Fig 7.5. On phase 2of the non-overlappingclock period (n-1), the charge on capacitor C holds the output voltage at V0(n-1) while capacitor
1C is charged to V1(n-1). The next clock phase is 1 of period(n), and capacitor1C isdischarged into capacitor C causing the output voltage to charge to V0(n). It is easily shown that
V0(n) = V0(n-1) + 1V1(n-1) (7.3.1)
which gives the z-domain transfer function
H1(z) = V0(z) = 1z-1
V1(z) 1-z-1 (7.3.2)
This is the Forward Euler z-transform of a non-inverting integrator (H(s)=1/sRC) where
1=T/RC.
7.4 Differential Pair Transconductor
The simplest and most widely used transconductor is the source-coupled differential pair.
In addition to its obvious simplicity, the differential pair offers a true differential input and can
readily achieve both positive and negative transconductance values. With a slight increase in
complexity to implement common-mode feedback, this enables the implementation of a fully-
balanced architecture, thus improving the dynamic range, PSRR, and CMRR. Furthermore, the
inherent symmetry of the differential amplifier tends to reduce offsets and drift. While offering
excellent high frequency performance and low noise, its large signal characteristics are

nonlinear. As a result, it can be shown that both the dynamic range and the efficiency of the
differential pair are limited.

Fig 7.6 Differential pair transconductor
The basic source-coupled differential pair is shown in Fig 7.6. Using the simplified
square-law relationship for a MOSFET in the saturation region and assuming M1 and M2 areperfectly matched, the output current is given by
I0= ID1- ID2= 2ISSK Vid - (K/2ISS). V2
id Vid < ISS/K
(7.4.1)
= ISS sgn(Vid) Vid > ISS/K
Clearly, the input stage is linear only over a limited range of differential input voltage.
The nonlinearity, which is a function of ISS, causes two problems. First, notice that as the signal
level is increased the transfer function becomes more nonlinear. Therefore, large input signals
will result in harmonic distortion and spurious signals being generated due to intermodulation.
Second, since the transconductance of the input stage equals the slope of the I 0 vs. Vid
characteristic curve, gm decreases as the signal level increases. This makes the transconductance
a function of differential input signal level.

The relationship between gm and Vid can be developed by taking the derivative of (7.4.1)

7.5 Cross-Coupled Differential Pair
A substantial increase in linearity can be obtained by simply cross-coupling two
differential pairs as shown in Fig 7.7. By properly scaling the ratio of W/Ls and bias currents,approximate cancellation of the remaining odd order nonlinearities can be achieved.

Fig 7.7 Cross-coupled differential pairs
The linear term is proportional to 2ISSK whereas the nonlinear term is proportional toK
3/2/ ISS . Therefore, nonlinearity cancellation is accomplished by scaling the W/L ratios and
tail currents of the differential pairs according to
[(W/L)1/ (W/L)2]3/2
= [ISS1/ISS2]1/2
(7.5.1)
providing (W/L)1 = (W/L)2and ISS1 = ISS2.This makes the coefficient of the nonlinear terms
cancel when the output currents are subtracted resulting in a linear transconductance given by
gm =gm1 =gm2=2ISS1K1 - 2ISS2K2 (7.5.2)

7.6 Operational Transconductance Amplifier
An OTA is a voltage controlled current source, more specifically the term operationalcomes from the fact that it takes the difference of two voltages as the input for the current
conversion.
The ideal transfer characteristic is therefore,
IO =gm . (V+V) (7.6.1)
or, by taking the pre-computed difference as the input,
IO =gm. Vin (7.6.2)
with the ideally constant transconductancegm as the proportionality factor between the two.
Inreality the transconductance is also a function of the input differential voltage and dependent
on temperature.

currentid1is given by

where vin+ is one of the differential RF input signals and the transconductance gm1 can be
calculated using the following expression derived from the short-channel drain current in thelinear region

Transistor T2 in the pMOS cascade works in the saturation region and its RF current is given by
id2 = - gm2 vgs2 (7.6.5)
where vgs2 is the gate-source voltage, and the transconductance gm2 is calculated using the
equation
gm = dId / dVgs = vsatCox W [1 - ( Esat L /(Vgs- Vt + Esat L))2
] (7.6.6)
The gate voltage of this pMOS device has an inverse polarity relative to its source voltage v d1. If
they are assumed to be exactly offset from each other, its gate-source voltage vgs2becomes -2vd1.
Then (7.6.5) can be changed to
id2 = 2 gm2 vd1 (7.6.7)
In a similar fashion, the RF currents in the nMOS cascode are given by
id3 = 2 gm3 vd4 (7.6.8)
id4 = - gm4(vin+ - vd9 ) (7.6.9)
where vd4 and vd9are the drain voltages of T4 and T9 respectively.
The output currents can be derived from the equivalent circuit model as
ip= - gm1 vin+ (Z1 + 2 gm2 Z1 Z2) /( Z1 + Z2 + 2 gm2 Z1 Z2) (7.6.10)
in= - gm4 vin+ (Z4+ 2 gm3 Z3 Z4) /( Z3 + Z4 + 2 gm3 Z3 Z4) (7.6.11)
The overall transconductance is found to be
gm = ( iout+ - iout- ) / ( vin+ - vin- )

7.7 Reasons For Choosing OTA as Main Building Block
Basically OTA is a voltage controlled current mode device & it is advantageous over
other current mode device like JFET,MOSFET in the sense that OTA has the much higher
capability of withstanding the noise & atmospheric attenuation.
It has linear transconductance characteristics with respect to the amplifier bias current,
this can be considered as a gain controlled block
It has a good power supply rejection & common mode rejection than any differential
amplifier, above other mentioned
This is the cause of choosing this device as a basic building block of our modulator.

Spread Spectrum Moculation
10.1 DESIGN OF LFSR
An LFSR is a shift register that, when clocked, advances the signal through the register
from one bit to the next most-significant bit. Some of the outputs are combined in exclusive-ORconfiguration to form a feedback mechanism. A linear feedback shift register can be formed by
performing exclusive-OR on the outputs of two or more of the flip-flops together and feeding
those outputs back into the input of one of the flip-flops.

10.2 DESIGN OF FCSR
In sequence design, a Feedback with Carry Shift Register (FCSR) is the arithmetic or
with carry analog of a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR).An 8 bit FCSR consists of 4LFSRs. The output of each LFSR is multiplied with a fixed integer and then added together. The
sum is then divided by an integer giving the 8bit output of the FCSR.
In this project, I have multiplied the output of the LFSRs by 7,9,4,2 respectively and then divided
the sum by 15.
Fig 10.2 Block Diagram of Feedback Carry Shift Register
10.3 DESIGN OF MODULATOR
According to the output of the FCSR different frequencies are chosen from a set of
frequencies, which will be the carrier frequency. Now, the baseband signal is phase modulatedby this carrier. In PSK bit 1 is transmitted by cosine waveform & bit 0 is transmitted by cosine
waveform shifted by 90 degrees. In this part, i have written a C program for cosine waveform &
merged it with the FCSR program to generate the modulated signal. This program is not yet
completed & is in progress.

Applications In Defence
1.This OTA based modulator can be used in Stationary vehicular & portable transreceiver, fast
data modem, tactical antennas on all military platform. Portable transreceiver is used to provide
short-range, two-way radiotelephone voice communication.
2. It can also be used Doppler RADAR which can give the velocity data about a moving or
stationary object using the Doppler effect. A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that makes use
of the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. It does this by beaming
a microwave signal towards a desired target and listening for its reflection, then analyzing how
the frequency of the returned signal has been altered by the object's motion. This variation gives
direct and highly accurate measurements of the radial component of a target's velocity relative to
the radar. Doppler radars are used in aviation, sounding satellites, meteorology, police speed
guns, radiology, and bistatic radar (surface to air missile).
3.OTA based M_ary communication system is most bandwidth efficient modulation scheme
enable us the less use of the required input power.
4.Because of the wide applicability of bandwidth-efficient modulation to most new satellitesystems, One recent application can be found in the Advanced Extremely High Frequency
(AEHF) program. This OTA based Modulators has been developed for an approach of using
the system in S Band (2 to 4 GHz).
5. The S-Band spectrum has been a bone of contention between terrestrial mobile phone service
providers and backers of satellite mobile services for the last few years. The S band is used by
weather radar, surface ship radar, and some communications satellites, especially those used by
NASA to communicate with the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. The 10-cm
radar short-band ranges roughly from 1.55 to 5.2 GHz. S band is also used in opticalcommunications, WiMax, Bluetooth. As the proposed OTA works in GHz range so theadvantages of S band can be fully utilized by the OTA based modulator.

message signals. After QPSK it can be further extended to the concept of Frequency-Hopping
Spread Spectrum.
Frequency hopping is the most popular method of transmitting/receiving radio signals by
periodically switching carrier frequencies. It is realized by using pseudorandom sequences
generated by hopping algorithms. As carrier frequency changes continually, it provides aneffective firewall against the adversarys ability to follow the changes in carrier frequency. Thus,the adversary encounters difficulty to recover the data or information being carried. In addition,
the frequency hopping provides an effective tool for protection against frequency jamming byadversaries.
