 PREFACE

Because of the differences in our college level studies and industry level requirements ,we are
allotted a project to get a knowledge about the on goings at industries . I did the minor project
that covered up a practical knowledge of what I have studied so far in books. I did experienced
an exposure to various electronics devices and equipments which I would not have able to get
easily anywhere else. I learnt a lot about processes of communication like sampling,
quantization, detection, error correction, broadcasting and reception of signals. All the topics
which were dealt with in the project duration are mentioned in an easy manner here in the report
which I am submitting to our college for reference purpose

I am highly thankful to the college faculty and the management for the insertion of such a
training period in our curriculum.

Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 General Introduction

Using this circuit you can communicate with your neighbors wirelessly. Instead of RF signals,
light from a laser torch is used as the carrier in the circuit. The laser torch can transmit light up to
a distance of about 500 meters. The phototransistor of the receiver must be accurately oriented
towards the laser beam from the torch. If there is any obstruction in the path of the laser beam,
no sound will be heard from the receiver. The transmitter circuit (Fig. 1) comprises condenser
microphone transistor amplifier BC548 (T1) followed by an pomp stage built around μA741
(IC1). The gain of the op-amp can be controlled with the help of 1-mega-ohm potmeter VR1.The
AF output from IC1 is coupled to the base of transistor BD139 (T2), which, in
turn, modulates the laser beam.

The transmitter uses 9V power supply. However, the 3-volt laser torch (after removal of its
battery) can be directly connected to the circuit—with the body of

30
The torch connected to the emitter ofBD139 and the spring-loaded lead protruding from inside
the torch to circuit ground. The receiver circuit (Fig. 2) uses an NPN phototransistor as the light
sensor that is followed by a two-stage transistor preamplifier and LM386-based audio Power
amplifier. The receiver does not need any complicated alignment. Just keep the phototransistor
oriented towards the remote transmitter’s laser point and adjust the volume control for a clear
sound. To avoid 50Hz hum noise in the speaker, keep the phototransistor away from AC light
sources such as bulbs. The reflected sunlight, however, does not cause any problem. But the
sensor should not directly face the sun.

Chapter 2. Component description

2.1 Introduction

When a beginner to electronics first looks at a circuit board full of components he/she is
often overwhelmed by the diversity of do-dads. In these next few sections we will help you to
identify some of the simple components and their schematical symbol. Then you should be able
to call them resistors and transistors instead of “Whatchamacallits”.

Electronic component are classed into either being Passive devices Or Active devices.

A Passive Device is one that contributes no power gain (amplification) to a circuit or system.
It has not control action and does not require any input other than a signal to perform its
function. In other words, “A components with no brains!” Examples are Resistors, Capacitors
and Inductors.

Active Devices are components that are capable of controlling voltages or currents and can
create a switching action in the circuit. In other words, “Devices with smarts!” Examples are
Diodes, Transistors and Integrated circuits. Most active components are semiconductors.

2.2 Resistors:

This is the most common component in electronics. It is used mainly to control current and
voltage within the circuit. You can identify a simple resistor by its simple cigar shape with aware
lead coming out of each end. It uses a system of color coded bands to identify the value of the
component (measured in Ohms) *A surface mount resistor is in fact mere millimeters in size but
performs the same function as its bigger brother, the simple resistor. A potentiometer is a
variable resistor. It lets you vary the resistance with a dial or sliding control in order to alter
current or voltage on the fly. This is opposed to the “fixed” simple resistors.

30
2.3Condensers/Capacitors:

Capacitors, or "caps", vary in size and shape - from a small surface mount model up to a
huge electric motor cap the size of paint can. It storages electrical energy in the form of
electrostatic charge. The size of a capacitor generally determines how much charge it can store.
A small surface mount or ceramic cap will only hold a minuscule charge. A cylindrical
electrolytic cap will store a much larger charge. Some of the large electrolytic caps can store
enough charge to kill a person. Another type, called Tantalum Capacitors, store a larger charge in
a smaller package.

2.4 Inductors:
You may remember from science class that adding electrical current to a coil of wire
produces a magnetic field around itself. This is how the inductor works. It is charged with a
magnetic field and when that field collapses it produces current in the opposite direction.
Inductors are used in Alternating Current circuits’ to oppose changes in the existing current.
Most inductors can be identified by the” coil" appearance. Others actually look like a resistor but
are usually green in color.

2.5 Diodes:
Diodes are basically a one-way valve for electrical current. They let it flow in one
Direction (from positive to negative) and not in the other direction. This is used to perform
rectification or conversion of AC current to DC by clipping off the negative portion of a AC
waveform. The diode terminals are cathode and anode and the arrow inside the diode symbol
points towards the cathode, indicating current flow in that direction when the diode is forward
biased and conducting current. Most diodes are similar in appearance to a resistor and will have a
painted line on one end showing the direction or flow (white side is negative). If the negative
side
is on the negative end of the circuit, current will flow. If the negative is on the positive side of
the circuit no current will flow.

30
2.6 LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)

LEDs are simply diodes that emit light of one form or another. They are used as indicator
devices. Example: LED lit equals machine on. The general purpose silicon diode emits excess
energy in the form of heat when conducting current. If a different semiconductor material such as
gallium, arsenide phosphate is used, the excess energy can be released at a lower wavelength
visible to human eye. This is the composition of LED. They come in several sizes and colors.
Some even emit Infrared Light which cannot be seen by the human eye.

2.7 Switch :

This is a mechanical part which when pressed makes the current to flow through it. If the switch
is released the current stops flowing through it. This helps to control a circuit.

30
2.8 Transistors:

The transistor performs two basic functions:

1) It acts as a switch turning current on and off.

2) It acts as a amplifier. This makes an output signal that is magnified version of the input signal.
Transistors come in several sizes depending on their application. It can be a big power transistor
such as is used in power amplifiers in your stereo, down to a surface mount (SMT) and even
down to .5 microns wide (I.E.: Mucho Small!) such as in a microprocessor or Integrated Circuit.

NPN Transistor: Bipolar junction perform the function of amplifications where a small varying
voltage or current applied to the base (the lead on the left side of the symbol) is proportionately
replicated by a much larger voltage or current between the collector and emitter leads. Bipolar
junction refers to sandwich construction of the semiconductor, where a wedge of "P" material is
placed between two wedges of "N" material. In this NPN construction a small base current
controls the larger current flowing from collector to emitter (the lead with the arrow).

PNP Transistor: Similar to NPN transistors, PNP's have a wedge of "N" material between two
wedges of "P" material. In this design, a base current regulates the larger current flowing from

30
emitter to collector, as indicated by the direction of the arrow on the emitter lead. In CED
players, PNP transistors are used less frequently that the NPN type for amplification functions.

2.9 PCB’s:

PCB stands for printed circuit board which is used for wiring up of the components of a
circuit. PCBs are made of paper phenol FR2 grade (low cost, for low frequency and low power
circuit assembly) and glass epoxy FR4 grade (for high frequency, high power circuits) copper
clad laminates (available in 1.6mm, 2.4mm and 3.6mm thickness). Single sided PCBs have
copper foil only on one side while double-sided PCBs have copper foil on both side of the
laminate. Thickness of copper foil is 35 micrometer minimum on cheaper PCBs and 70
micrometer on slightly costlier PCBs. Tracks (conductive paths) are made by masking (covering)
the track part of copper
With etch-resist enamel paint (you can even use nail polish) and later dipping the Laminate in
ferric chloride solutions to dissolve all copper except under the masked part. Holes in PCBs are
drilled after etching is over. The tracks on two sides of a PCB are joined using printed through
hole (PTH) technique, which is equivalent to using slotted copper rivets for joining tracks on
both sides. On cheaper PCBs, PTH are not provided, only Pads (i.e. circular copper land with
centre hole) are provided and you have to join the tracks on both sides by soldering a copper wire
to the pads with a copper wire. In singlewide PCB components are mounted on the side which
has no track (called component side). In a double-sided PCB the component side is defined
(marked before hand) or it will show component outline (also called silk screen) Green masking
is the process of applying a layer of green color insulation varnish on all parts of tracks except
near the holes, to protect the tracks from exposure to atmosphere and thus prolong its life and
reliability.

2.10 Batteries:

30
 Symbol of batteries shows +ve terminal by a longer line than the –ve terminal. For low
power circuit dry batteries are used.

2.11 Speakers:

These convert electrical signals to accoustic vibrations. It comprises a permanent

Magnet and a moving coil (through which electrical signal is passed). This moving coil is fixed
to the diaphragm which vibrates to produce sound.

2.12 ICs (Integrated Circuits):

Integrated Circuits, or ICs, are complex circuits inside one simple package. Silicon
and metals are used to simulate resistors, capacitors, transistors, etc. It is a space
saving miracle. These components come in a wide variety of packages and sizes.
You can tell them by their "monolithic shape" that has a ton of "pins" coming out
of them. Their applications are as varied as their packages. It can be a simple timer, to
a complex logic circuit, or even a microcontroller (microprocessor with a few added functions)
with erasable memory built inside.

30
2.13 Microprocessors (MPUs):

Microprocessors and other large scale ICs are very complex ICs. At their core is the
transistor which provides the logic for computers, cars, TVs and just about everything else
electronic. Packages are becoming smaller and smaller as companies are learning new tricks
to make the transistors ever tinier.
