Abstract
The experiment introduces the student to modelling equations by using the Emona Telecoms-
Trainer 101 to implement two relatively simple equations. Adding two same electrical signals
Project Description
The first part of the experiment used the Adder module to add two same electrical signals
together. Adder module output = signal A + Signal B. the second part of the experiment involved
adding two electrical signals but one of them being phase shifted.
Theoretical Background
When two signals are 1800 out of phase, they are out of step by half cycle. As one signal goes up

The first part of the experiment is using the Adder module to add two electrical signals together.
The second part of the experiment involves adding two electrical signals together but one of the
Two signals having same amplitude and frequency, if the phase shift is exactly 1800, then their
voltages at any point in the waveform is always exactly opposite. Thus, Adder module output =
0Vp-p

Experimental Procedure
2. Set up the scope per the instructions in experiment 1. Ensure that the trigger source
control is set to the CN1 (or INT) position and the mode control is set to the CH1
position.
3. Locate the Adder module and set its G and g controls to about the middle of their travel.

The set up above can be represented by the block diagram in figure 3 below.

5. Adjust the scope’s Timebase control to view two or so cycles of the Master Signals
7. Measure the amplitude of the Master Signals module’s 2 kHz SINE output and record the
measurement. (4Vp-p)
9. Adjust the Adder module’s G control until its output voltage is the same as its input
voltage (measured in step 7). This makes the gain for the Adder module’s A input-1.
12. Adjust the Adder module’s g control until its output voltage is the same as its input
voltage (measured in step 7). This makes the gain for the Adder module’s B input-1 and
means the Adder module’s two inputs should have the same gain.
13. Reconnect the lead to the Adder module’s A input. The set-up is now ready to implement
the equation.
15. Measure the amplitude of the master signals module’s 2 kHz SINE output. Record your
17. Measure and record the amplitude of the Adder module’s output.
18. Locate the phase shifter and set its phase change control to the 1800 position.
19. Set the phase shifter module’s phase adjust control about the middle of its travel.

23. Disconnect the scope’s channel 2 lead from the phase shifter module’s output and
25. Measure the amplitude of the adder module’s output and record your measurement in the
table.
The following procedure can be used to adjust the adder and phase shifter modules so
26. Vary the phase shifter module’s phase adjust control left and right and observe the effect
27. Vary the phase shifter module’s phase adjust control to obtain the smallest output
voltage.
28. Vary the Adder module’s g control left and right and observe the effect on the adder
module’s output.
29. Adjust the adder module’s g control to obtain the smallest output voltage.

Discussion
The Adder module’s measured output voltage is not exactly 8Vp-p as theoretically predicted.
Firstly, the reason for this is because of the measurement error and secondly because the gains
The output of the two signals with a phase shift is not 0V as theoretically predicted since the
phase difference between the Adder’s two inputs is not exactly 1800 ; and the gains are not
The phase shift between the signals on the Adder module’s output is much closer to 1800 (but not
exactly 1800 ).
The gain of the Adder module’s two inputs now are much closer to each other but they are still
Conclusion.
Adding two electrical signals where one is phase shifted. Adder module output = 0Vp-p.
