FM Modulation and Demodulation

I. Objectives

1. On Completion of this unit you will be able to translate

frequency.

II. Equipment
1. Master Unit [XPO-COM]
2. 20/30 MHz CRO
3. Communication System Trainer
III.
Procedure
A] FM Modulation
1. Set 100 KHz range using freq. selector knob on DTFFG – III bottom
right side Keep AM carrier control knob fully ccw.
2. Select sine wave using Select Wave switches i.e. Middle position
3. Using amplitude and freq. knobs set 64KHz 1.5Vpp at FG O/P (Set
CRO volts/Div. at 0.5 V and time/Div. at 5 u sec.
4. The 64KHz, 1.5Vpp sine wave should be like this
 5. Adjust the 1KHz 150mV pp sine wave from audio oscillator (DTFFG-
III top right corner)
6. Feed the 1KHz 150 mV pp sine wave from audio oscillator to FM I/P
7. Observe FM signal at FG O/P on CRO.
B] FM Demodulation
1. Feed the Fm from DTFFG-III FG O/P to I/P of FM detector on T.B
FM/FSK(MU/FSK)(CM3)
2. Keep the selector switch of FM detector at 64 KHz i.e. up position
3. Connect this o/p of FM detector to HPF a.c. amp (3H) I/P (NGLPF
panel bottom left corner)
4. keep VR3 fully CW (right bottom preset on NGLPF)
5. Connect the O/P of HPF a.c. amp 3H to I/p4 or I/P3 or I./P1 NGL if
panel
6. By connecting CRO +ve at an appropriate 2P or 4p you can observe
original modulating sine wave of 1KHz.
7. By varying VR3, you can increase or decrease this modulating
signal amplitude.

Data and Results:

Conclusion:
When the audio signal is modulated onto the radio frequency carrier, the
new radio frequency signal moves up and down in frequency.
