THEORY
PRE EMPHASIS:
It is basically a technique used for FM transmission. It means to enhance (increase the
amplitude of) the higher frequencies of the modulating signal so as to enhance the signal to
noise ratio. This is done at the time of transmission. The reason being that the noise affects the
higher frequencies more than the lower frequencies. In an FM system the higher frequencies
contribute more to the noise than the lower frequencies. Because of this all FM systems adopt
a system of pre-emphasis where the higher frequencies are increased in amplitude before being
used to modulate the carrier.
DE-EMPHASIS:
This is done at the time of receiving the FM signal it means to lower the amplitude of the higher
frequencies (enhanced at the time of transmission) so that the noise component that mixes at
the transmission time is cut off and we receive a better quality of the signal. At the receiver the
higher frequencies must be deemphasized in order to get back the original baseband signal.

PROCEDURE
Pre-emphasis:
The circuit connections are given as shown in the circuit diagram.
Set the amplitude of the input voltage Vin to 1V (p-p) in the function generator. Always
maintain the input voltage as constant while the experiment is being conducted.
By varying the frequency of the input signal from 100 Hz to 200 kHz, note down the
output voltage Vout( p-p ) from the CRO.
Calculate the Gain and Gain in dB for the observed readings.
Plot the frequency response curve (Gain in dB vs frequency) of the pre-emphasis
circuit.
De-emphasis:
The circuit connections are given as shown in the circuit diagram.
Set the amplitude of the input voltage Vin to 4 V (p-p) in the function generator. Always
maintain the input voltage as constant while the experiment is being conducted.
By varying the frequency of the input signal from 100 Hz to 200 kHz, note down the
output voltage Vout( p-p ) from the CRO.
Calculate the Gain and Gain in dB for the observed readings.
Plot the frequency response curve (Gain in dB vs frequency) of the De-emphasis circuit.
