The output amplitude on pin 2 can be modulated by applying a dc bias and a modulacing signal to pin I. Figure 4-20c ilows the normalized output amplitude-versus- dc
bias. A normalized output of corresponds to maximum output voltage, a noimalized
value of 0.5 corresponds to an out voltage equal to half the maximum value. and a
normalind value of 0 corresponds to no output sic:nal. As the figure shows, the
output amplitude vanes linearlywith input bias for voltagesithin volts of V12. An
input voltage equal to V/2 causes the output amplitude to go to 0 V. and an input
voltage either 4 V above or below producec maximum output amplitude.
Figure 4-21 shows the schematic diagram for a linear integrated-circuit AM
modulator using the XR-2206. The VCO output frequency is the carrier signal. The
modulating signal and bias voltage are applied to the internal multiplier (modulator)
circuit through pin 1. The modulating signal mixes with the VCO signal producing an
AM wave at Vout. The output wave is a symmetrical AM envelope containing the
carrier and the upper and lower side frequencies.
