Concept of Instantaneous frequency
Phase Modulated Signal:
For both the above examples, the solutions are copied as given in the text
book. However, this method may be difficult to approach at times. For
proper systematic solution and to draw the FM/PM signal for a given
message signal refer to class notes. That will be helpful for the exams.
Bandwidth of Angle Modulated Signals
Narrowband FM Signal
Look at the class notes for the example calculations of bandwidth of FM and PM.
Tone Modulation – Message is a pure sine
tone – Bandwidth Calculation
Analytic signal
Note that this is in consistent with Carson’s rule.
Example:
Generation of FM Waves
• Narrowband FM/PM Generation:
NBFM input
Minimized amplitude
variation at the output
Hard limiter
characteristics
The output of the hard limiter will be pulse width modulated signal, which can be treated as time varying
periodicity. The fundamental harmonic of the periodic signal is the desired FM signal with minimized
amplitude variations. So the band pass filter followed by hard limiter does this job.
Wideband FM Generation
• Difficult to generate directly.
• Indirect methods are preferred.
• Indirect method – First generate narrowband FM signal and then
expand the frequency deviation to produce wideband FM signal.
• Invented by Armstrong and hence bears the name – Armstrong FM
Transmitter.
• Commerical FM transmitters apply this method.
Armstrong FM Transmitter
• Contains multipliers and frequency converters.
• For an input FM signal to Multiplier multiplies both the carrier
frequency and frequency deviation at the output.
• Frequency converter simply shifting the carrier frequency only and
frequency deviation remains unchanged.
• Converters are also known as mixers.
• Mixers generate both sum and difference of the input signals’
frequencies, but generally difference is considered.
