Baseband
Processing
DC Coupling Capacitors
The capacitance of varactor diode D1 and L1 form the parallel tuned circuit of the oscillator.
The value of C1 is made very large so its reactance is very low.
C1 connects the tuned circuit to the oscillator and blocks the DC bias on the base of Q1.
The values of L1 and D1 fix the center carrier frequency.
The modulating signal varies the effective voltage applied to D1 and its capacitance varies.

Crystal Modulators
Crystal Oscillator
Crystal oscillators provide highly accurate frequencies and their stability is superior to LC
oscillators.
The frequency of a crystal oscillator can be varied by changing the value of capacitance in
series or parallel with the crystal.
By making the series capacitance a varactor diode, frequency modulation can be achieved.
The modulating signal is applied to the varactor diode which changes the oscillator frequency.

Phase Modulators
Most modern FM transmitters use some form of phase
modulation (PM) to produce indirect FM.
In PM the carrier oscillator can be optimized for
frequency accuracy and stability.
Crystal oscillators or crystal-controlled frequency
synthesizers can be used to set the carrier frequency
accurately and maintain stability.
The output of the carrier oscillator is fed to a phase
modulator where the phase shift is made to vary in
accordance with the modulating signal.

A simple phase-shift circuit can be used as a phase modulator if the resistance or capacitance
can be made to vary with the modulating signal.
A varactor can be used to vary capacitance and achieve phase shift modulation.

Slope Detector
The slope detector makes use of a tuned circuit and a diode detector to convert frequency
variations into voltage variations.

A pulse-averaging discriminator uses a zero crossing detector, a one shot multivibrator and a
low-pass filter in order to recover the original modulating signal.
The pulse-averaging discriminator is a very high-quality frequency demodulator.
Originally this discriminator was limited to expensive telemetry and industrial control
applications.
With availability of low-cost ICs, this discriminator is used in many electronic products.

Quadrature FM Detector
The quadrature detector is probably the single most widely used FM demodulator.
The quadrature detector is primarily used in TV demodulation.
This detector is used in some FM radio stations.
The quadrature detector uses a phase-shift circuit to produce a phase shift of 90 degrees at the
unmodulated carrier frequency.
