  1. FM Demodulation Dr. Ali Muqaibel

  2. Methods for Frequency Demodulation • What are Frequency demodulators ? • They produce output voltage whose instantaneous amplitude is directly proportional to the instantaneous frequency of the input FM wave. • Methods: • Frequency Discriminator followed by an envelope detector. • Slope Circuit • signal differentiation method • Phase locked loop demodulator. • Zero-crossing detector. • Ratio-detector. (old)

  3. form Frequency Discriminator • First, transfer the information from the angle to the magnitude • For example: derivate of a sinusoid results in multiplying the magnitude of the sinusoid by the derivate of its angle, the derivative of the above FM signal becomes Is this signal amplitude or frequency modulated?

  4. Because the information is also contained in the amplitude we can use AM demodulation Envelope detector can be used because The message is always represented by the positive term of the envelope.

  5. Extension to Phase Modulation (PM) The same idea can be used for PM demodulation. A PM signal has the form If this signal is passed through an envelope detector, the output will be proportional to the derivative of the message signal. An integrator will solve the problem

  6. Band-pass Limiter • What if the amplitude A is not constant because of channel noise? i.e. A(t) • At the output of the differentiator, we will have other terms d/dt (A(t)) The use of bandpass limiter also suppresses the channel noise when the noise is small.

  7. Generalizing the signal differentiation to any frequency discrimination method

  8. Phase-locked Loops • PLLs when fed with an FM signal directly produce an output signal that is proportional to the message signal. • PLL has low cost and superior performance even at low SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) • Where do we take the output? Compare with the case of carrier acquisition.
