Lab Report 2

This document summarizes a laboratory exercise on sampling processes. The objectives were to understand sampling and reinforce proper sample frequency selection. Materials included a laptop, Multisim, and circuit figures. Procedures tested sample frequencies in circuits, identified faults using an oscilloscope, and repaired faults by setting components to no fault. Results showed sample frequencies generated aliasing below the Nyquist rate and identified faulty diodes and op-amps. Analysis concluded proper sampling is important for analog to digital conversion and meeting the Nyquist criteria avoids aliasing.

Sampling Process
Laboratory 2

I. Objectives
After completing this laboratory exercise, the student must advance his/her
understanding of the sampling process and to reinforce the importance of properly
selecting the sample frequency.

II. Introductory Information or Theory

III. Materials Needed


- Laptop with Multisim installed
- Reference Book
- Figures obtained from www.pearsoned.com/electronics

IV. Procedure
1. Open the obtained file FigE8-2. Use the spectrum analyzer to determine the
frequencies generated in the sampled signal. The input frequency is 5 kHz.
Where did the 3-kHz signal come from?
2. Open the obtained file FigE8-3. The circuit contains a fault. Start the
simulation and use the oscilloscope to isolate the fault. When you discover the
fault, double-click on the component, click on the fault tab, and set the faults
to none. Restart the simulation and see if you have repaired the circuit.
Specify what component(s) you repaired.
3. Open the obtained file FigE8-4. This circuit contains a fault. Start the
simulation and use the oscilloscope to isolate the fault. When you discover the
fault, double-click on the component, click on the fault tab, and set the faults
to none. Restart the simulation and see if you have repaired the circuit.
Specify the component(s) you repaired.

V. Data and Results


Fig8-41 results:
Figure 1: sample frquency of 5kHz
Figure 2: sample frequency 12kHz

Figure 3:Spectrum analyzer (where the frequencies are displayed)

1. FigE8-2
The 3-kHz frequency came from the Nyquist formula (f s-fi). Where fs=8kHz and fi=5kHz.
2. FigE8-3
We repaired the diode. The diode was shorted so we changed it the fault to open.

VI. Analysis and Conclusions
In this laboratory exercise, we enhanced our knowledge in the proper
sampling of the input signal and it is an extremely important process when
converting an analog signal to a digital format. We also learned that if the Nyquist
criteria is not met, aliasing frequencies will be generated, leading to a decrease in
the system performance.
