McGraw-Hill Companies 4 6-1: Frequency Modulators6-1: Frequency Modulators There are many circuits used to produce FM and PM signals. There are two types of frequency modulator circuits: direct circuits and phase modulation circuits. A frequency modulator is a circuit that varies carrier frequency in accordance with the modulating signal. The carrier is generated by LC or crystal oscillator circuits.
5.
© 2008 The
McGraw-Hill Companies 5 6-1: Frequency Modulators6-1: Frequency Modulators In LC oscillators, the carrier frequency can be changed by varying either the inductance or capacitance. The idea is to find a circuit or component that converts a modulating voltage to a corresponding change in capacitance or inductance. In crystal oscillators, the frequency is fixed by the crystal. A varactor is a variable capacitance diode used to change oscillator frequencies.
6.
© 2008 The
McGraw-Hill Companies 6 6-1: Frequency Modulators6-1: Frequency Modulators Varactor Operation A junction diode is created when P- and N-type semiconductors are formed during the manufacturing process. A depletion region, where there are no free carriers, holes, or electrons, is formed in the process. This region acts like a thin insulator that prevents current from flowing through the device. A forward bias will cause the diode to conduct. A reverse bias will prevent current flow.
7.
© 2008 The
McGraw-Hill Companies 7 6-1: Frequency Modulators6-1: Frequency Modulators Varactor Operation A reverse-biased diode acts like a small capacitor. The P- and N-type materials act as the two plates of the capacitor. The depletion region acts as the dielectric material. The width of the depletion layer determines the width of the dielectric and, therefore the amount of capacitance. All diodes exhibit variable capacitance. Varactors are designed to optimize this characteristic.

McGraw-Hill Companies 10 6-1: Frequency Modulators6-1: Frequency Modulators Varactor Modulator In Figure 6-4, 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 from being shorted to ground through L1. 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.
11.
© 2008 The
McGraw-Hill Companies 11 6-1: Frequency Modulators6-1: Frequency Modulators Varactor Modulator Most LC oscillators are not stable enough to provide a carrier signal. The frequency of LC oscillators will vary with temperature changes, variations in circuit voltage, and other factors. As a result, crystal oscillators are normally used to set carrier frequency.
12.
© 2008 The
McGraw-Hill Companies 12 6-1: Frequency Modulators6-1: Frequency Modulators Frequency-Modulating a Crystal Oscillator Crystal oscillators provide highly accurate carrier 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.

McGraw-Hill Companies 14 6-1: Frequency Modulators6-1: Frequency Modulators Frequency-Modulating a Crystal Oscillator Varactors are made with a wide range of capacitance values, most units having a nominal capacitance in the 1- to 200-pF range. A frequency multiplier circuit is one whose output frequency is some integer multiple of the input frequency. A frequency multiplier that multiplies a frequency by two is called a doubler. A frequency multiplier that multiplies a frequency by three is called a tripler. Frequency multipliers can also be cascaded.

McGraw-Hill Companies 16 6-1: Frequency Modulators6-1: Frequency Modulators Voltage-Controlled Oscillators Oscillators whose frequencies are controlled by an external input voltage are generally referred to as voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). Voltage-controlled crystal oscillators are generally referred to as VXOs. VCOs are primarily used in FM. VCOs are also used in voltage-to-frequency conversion applications.
17.
© 2008 The
McGraw-Hill Companies 17 6-1: Frequency Modulators6-1: Frequency Modulators Reactance Modulator A reactance modulator is a circuit that uses a transistor amplifier that acts like either a variable capacitor or an inductor. When the circuit is connected across the tuned circuit of an oscillator, the oscillator frequency can be varied by applying the modulating signal to the amplifier. Reactance modulators can produce frequency deviation over a wide range. Reactance modulators are highly linear, so distortion is minimal.

19.
© 2008 The
McGraw-Hill Companies 19 6-2: Phase Modulators6-2: 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.
20.
© 2008 The
McGraw-Hill Companies 20 6-2: Phase Modulators6-2: Phase Modulators Simple phase shifters do not produce a linear response over a large range of phase shift. To compensate for this, restrict the total allowable phase shift to maximize linearity. Multipliers must also be used to achieve the desired deviation.

McGraw-Hill Companies 22 6-2: Phase Modulators6-2: Phase Modulators Varactor Phase Modulators 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.

McGraw-Hill Companies 24 6-2: Phase Modulators6-2: Phase Modulators Transistor Phase Modulator A transistor can be used as a variable resistor to create a phase modulator. A standard common emitter class A amplifier biased into the linear region is used in PM. The transistor from collector to ground acts like a resistor. The transistor’s resistance forms part of the phase shifting circuit.

26.
© 2008 The
McGraw-Hill Companies 26 6-2: Phase Modulators6-2: Phase Modulators Tuned-Circuit Phase Modulators Most phase modulators are capable of producing a small amount of phase shift. The limited phase shift, therefore, produces a limited frequency shift. Phase and frequency shift can be increased by using a parallel tuned circuit. At resonance, a parallel resonant circuit acts like a large resistor. Off resonance, the circuit acts inductively or capacitively and produces a phase shift.
27.
© 2008 The
McGraw-Hill Companies 27 6-2: Phase Modulators6-2: Phase Modulators Tuned-Circuit Phase Modulators Phase modulators are easy to implement, but they have two main disadvantages. 1. The amount of phase shift they produce and the resulting frequency deviation are relatively low. 2. All the phase-shift circuits produce amplitude variations as well as phase changes.

McGraw-Hill Companies 28 6-3: Frequency Demodulators6-3: Frequency Demodulators Any circuit that will convert a frequency variation in the carrier back into a proportional voltage variation can be used to demodulate or detect FM signals. Circuits used to recover the original modulating signal from an FM transmission are called: Demodulators Detectors Discriminators

McGraw-Hill Companies 31 6-3: Frequency Demodulators6-3: Frequency Demodulators Pulse-Averaging Discriminators 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.

The quadrature detector uses a phase-shift circuit to produce a phase shift of 90 degrees at the unmodulated carrier frequency.

PLLs have three basic elements. They are: Phase detector Low-pass filter Voltage-controlled oscillator

If there is a phase or frequency difference between the FM input and VCO signals, the phase detector output varies in proportion to the difference. The filtered output adjusts the VCO frequency in an attempt to correct for the original frequency or phase difference.

When no input signal is applied, the phase detector and low-pass filter outputs are zero. The VCO then operates at what is called the free- running frequency, its normal operating frequency as determined by internal frequency-determining components.
