The deployment of these types of communications in very high frequency band has become inevitable and essential. Especially boom in broadband communications to promote the exploitation of parallel frequency channels in high frequency range that allow maximum usability bandwidth. Communications in high frequency bands have advantages in complex environments, especially where high-frequency waves transmitted directly between two parallel points of contact and communication through the ionosphere, in outer space In Vietnam, information transceiver system working VHF bands have a lot of important applications. Therefore, the study of information transceiver systems in the band VHF to understand the structure, the transmission characteristics in order to master the technology to go to complete the set and apply the product on the fact that the purpose end of the study. In the framework of this thesis, I have completed the following tasks: -Study about the structure of transmitter system. -Study carefully VCO block in the transmitter system. -Study about delta modulation. -Design and fabricate successfully VCO circuit in VHF band and delta modulate circuit. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS 5 List of Figures 6 List of Table 7 ABBREVATIONS BJT Bipolar Junction Transistor CB Common Base CC Common Collector CE Common Emitter EB Emitter-Base FM Frequency Modulation IF Intermediate Frequency KVL Kirchoff Voltage Law LNA Low Noise Amplifier UHF Ultra High Frequency VHF Very High Frquency Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1,Overview of VHF frequency band Very high frequency(VHF) is the ITU-designated range of radio frequency electromagnetic waves from 30 MHz to 300 MHz,with corresponding wavelengths of one 8 to ten meters.Common uses for VHF are FM radio broadcasting ,television broadcasting,land mobile stations,long range data communication up to several tens of kilometres with radio modems,amateur radio, and marine communications.Air traffic control communication and air navigation systems work at distances of 100 kilometres or more to aircraft at cruising altitude. 1.2 Propagation characteristics VHF propagation characteristics are ideal for short distance terrestrical communication,with a range generally somewhat farther than line of sight from the transmitter.Unlike high frequency(HF),the ionosphere does no usually reflect VHF waves so transmissions are restricted to the local radio horizon less than 100 miles.VHF is also less affected by atmospheric noise and interference from electrical equiqment than lower frequencies.While it is blocked by land features such as hills and mountains,it is less affected by buildings and can be received indoors,although multipath television reception due to reflection from buildings can be a problem in urban areas. 1.3 Thesis objectives and structure. In this thesis,I will clarify the roles and the need of a information digital transmitter in VHF band. Study the function of each block in a transmitter system and especially a VCO block will be studied.Study about delta modulation. Finally, the experience is design, fabricate a VCO and delta modulation using FX609J.This thesis is organized in five sections: -Chapter 1:Provide an overview of VHF frequency band,propagation characteristic and objectives and structure of this thesis. -Chapter 2: Study in detail about VHF transceiver system and VCO block. -Chapter 3:Modulation delta signal. -Chapter 4: Design, Fabrication a VCO circuit,delta modulation circuit and achievement results. -Chapter 5: Summarization what have been done in the thesis. 9 10 [...]...
