FM Modulation
FM Modulation
Abstract:
In this experiment we studied about FM modulation so
I'm going to discuss in this report about it
First, we will discuss about the objectives of the
experiment then we will mention the tools that we used
in this experiment after that we will discuss more about
the experiment as in this report
Objectives:
• Examine the main parameters of a frequency
modulated
signal.
• Describe the operation of Varicap diode.
• Carry out characteristic measurements on a frequency
modulation.
Material:
• basic unit (power supply mod. PSU/EV, module-
holder unit
mod. MU/EV, individual control unit mod.
SIS1/SIS2/SIS3).
• experiment module mod. MCM21/EV.
• dual trace oscilloscope.
• function generator.
• frequency meter.
Theoretical Notions:
Modulation Characteristics :
• The circuit VCO1 is used set for : Level about 2 Vp-p,
Frequency to the minimum, deviator on 1500 kHz.
• Connect the oscilloscope and frequency meter across the
output of the modulator (TP6).
• Connect the voltmeter to the cursor of the frequency
regulation potentiometer (TP4).
• Carry the voltage by frequency command with steps of
0.5 volt and fill the table with the corresponding voltage
and frequency values.
• Report the measured voltage and frequency values on a
graph.
Frequency deviation and modulation index:
• Set the VCO1 for: Level about 2 Vp-p; frequency 1 Mhz.
• Apply a sine signal with 1 Vp-p and 1 kHz frequency
across
modulator input (TP3).
• Connect the oscilloscope to the output of the modulator
(TP6).
• The frequency deviation can be calculated as follows:
• from the oscilloscope evaluate FM and Fm, detecting the
periods of the respective sine wave and making the
inverse.
• The frequency deviation is defined as : F = (FM - Fm)/2
Conclusion:
- the main difference between both modulations is that
in frequency modulation, the frequency of the carrier
wave is modified as per the transmit data, while in
amplitude modulation, the carrier wave is modified
according to the data.
- Advantages of FM modulation:
- Disadvantages of FM modulation:
1. The bandwidth in FM transmission is 10 times as
large as that needed in AM transmission. Hence
wider frequency channel is required in FM
transmission.
2. The transmitting and receiving equipments are very
complex in FM
