1 Exercise 1: Frequency and Phase Modulation EXERCISE OBJECTIVE When you have completed this exercise, you will be able to describe frequency modulation and an FM circuit. You will also be able to describe phase modulation and a PM circuit. You will use an oscilloscope and a multimeter to make measurements. DISCUSSION Following are the three frequency modulation (FM) concepts you need to remember. 1. The carrier signal frequency deviates only with the message signal amplitude. 2. The message signal s frequency does not deviate the carrier signal s frequency but does affect the rate of deviation. 3. There are no desired amplitude variations of the FM carrier; only frequency deviations contain the message signal intelligence. The maximum carrier frequency deviation (plus or minus) occurs when the message signal s amplitude is at what value? a. maximum or minimum peak b. zero When the message signal is at its zero reference, the carrier frequency deviation is zero because the carrier is at its center frequency. If the message signal s amplitude is constant but the frequency increases (for example, from 2 khz to 4 khz), the amount of the carrier signal s frequency deviation does not change. However, the same frequency deviation will occur 4000 times per second (4 khz) instead of 2000 times per second (2 khz). 306 FACET by Lab-Volt

2 Angle Modulation and Demodulation Because FM amplitude variations do not contain any message signal intelligence, the FM carrier s amplitude can be limited within desired values. may affect amplitude but not frequency, can be used in FM equipment. The percentage of modulation describes the extent of the carrier frequency deviations. The carrier signal s center frequency is its unmodulated frequency: the frequency with no message signal (or zero amplitude). FACET by Lab-Volt 307

3 modulation. What percentage of modulation (% Mod.) is a deviation of ±37.5 khz? % Mod. = % (Recall Value 1) Like AM, the FM carrier signal sidebands contain the message signal intelligence. If the frequency deviation is held to a minimum, only two FM sidebands are produced. the carrier center frequency are produced. 308 FACET by Lab-Volt

4 Angle Modulation and Demodulation The bandwidth required for an FM signal depends upon two factors: the message signal amplitude and the frequency. A sideband pair are two sidebands that are spaced equally above and below the carrier s center frequency. The energy contained in each sideband pair decreases as the sideband pairs are removed from the center frequency. A point is reached at which a sideband pair contains so little energy that they can be disregarded. The point is determined by the modulation index. FACET by Lab-Volt 309

5 The FM modulation index (MI) is the ratio of the amount of carrier frequency deviation (f cd ) to the message signal frequency (f m ). MI = f cd m For example, if a 5 khz message signal (f m ) caused a carrier frequency deviation of ±10 khz (f cd ), the MI would be 2. sidebands spaced 5 khz apart for 20 khz on each side of the FM center frequency. 310 FACET by Lab-Volt

6 Angle Modulation and Demodulation If the sideband frequency range on each side of the center frequency is 20 khz, what is the FM bandwidth? FM bandwidth = khz (Recall Value 2) In PM, carrier signal modulation occurs when the carrier signal changes its phase (and frequency) with the changes in the message signal amplitude and frequency. The amount of phase shift is proportional to the message signal amplitude. When the carrier s phase changes, frequency deviations also occur. FACET by Lab-Volt 311

7 The amount of frequency deviation is directly proportional to the rate and the total amount of phase shift. The rate of phase shift is directly proportional to the message signal s frequency. Therefore, the amount of frequency deviation in PM is directly proportional to the message signal s amplitude and frequency. In FM, do changes in the message signal s amplitude and frequency cause frequency deviations in the carrier signal? a. yes b. no Advantage and Disadvantages of FM and PM The PM and broadcast FM disadvantages are wide bandwidths and the necessity of line-of-sight signal propagation for FM frequencies. 312 FACET by Lab-Volt

8 Angle Modulation and Demodulation PROCEDURE The following PROCEDURE is divided into two sections. Frequency Modulation (FM) Phase Modulation (PM) Each section starts with an explanation of the signals you will observe and the parameters that you will measure and calculate. Frequency Modulation (FM) In this PROCEDURE section, you will frequency modulate a carrier signal, measure its parameters, and observe its characteristics. An FM signal is generated with the VCO-LO circuit block. In previous units, you used the VCO-LO circuit block to generate a 452 khz or a 1000 khz sine wave, depending on the position of the two-post connector. In this PROCEDURE section, you will place the two-post connector in the 452 khz position. (Do not make this placement yet.) FACET by Lab-Volt 313

9 The potentiometer knob on the VCO-LO circuit block adjusts the output amplitude. To adjust the VCO-LO output frequency, you will adjust the NEGATIVE SUPPLY knob on the left side of the base unit. T 314 FACET by Lab-Volt

10 Angle Modulation and Demodulation The oscillator s frequency is determined by the tuning of the LC network. You can tune the LC network by changing the value of the NEGATIVE SUPPLY voltage at the anode of varactor diode CR2. The value of the negative voltage affects the CR2 capacitance, which, in turn, affects the tuning of the LC network. FACET by Lab-Volt 315

11 As the NEGATIVE SUPPLY voltage becomes more negative, VCO-LO s output frequency increases. At 0 Vdc, the output frequency is about 310 khz. At 10 Vdc, the output frequency is about 510 khz. 316 FACET by Lab-Volt

12 Angle Modulation and Demodulation A buffer is between the oscillator and the VCO-LO potentiometer, which you adjust to set the VCO-LO output amplitude. At test point T, you can measure the dc voltage at CR2 s anode. The sine wave message signal input is at (M), and it causes the voltage at CR2 to vary. FACET by Lab-Volt 317

13 You can observe the FM signal at (FM) OUT. On the VCO-LO circuit block, insert the two-post connector in the 452 khz terminals. Set the VCO-LO amplitude potentiometer fully clockwise (CW). Connect the oscilloscope channel 2 probe to (FM) OUT on VCO-LO. 318 FACET by Lab-Volt

14 Angle Modulation and Demodulation Set the voltmeter to volts dc. Connect the dc voltmeter to T on the VCO-LO circuit block. Adjust the NEGATIVE SUPPLY for 4.0 Vdc at T. Connect the oscilloscope channel 1 probe to T. Adjust the channel 1 and 2 oscilloscope traces so they appear as shown. The channel 1 dc trace, which indicates 4.0 Vdc at T, should be on the second division line from the top of the oscilloscope display. FACET by Lab-Volt 319

15 Accurately measure the period (T) between the peaks of the unmodulated FM carrier signal on channel 2. T = s (Recall Value 1) From the period (T), calculate the center frequency (f) of the unmodulated FM carrier signal. T = s (Step 7, Recall Value 1) = khz (Recall Value 2) You will vary the voltage to simulate the voltage change caused by the message signal, which will be a sine wave. While observing your oscilloscope screen, adjust the NEGATIVE SUPPLY knob CW and then CCW so that the dc voltage on channel 1 varies by about ±1 Vdc. On channel 2, does the FM carrier frequency change as the dc voltage on channel 1 varies? a. yes b. no 320 FACET by Lab-Volt

16 Angle Modulation and Demodulation You will determine the frequency deviation of the FM carrier when the message signal amplitude changes by 1 Vdc. Adjust the NEGATIVE SUPPLY knob CW to change the voltage at T on the VCO-LO circuit block to 5.0 Vdc. Accurately measure the period (T) between the peaks of the modulated FM carrier signal on channel 2. T = s (Recall Value 3) FACET by Lab-Volt 321

17 From the period (T), calculate the frequency (f) of the modulated FM carrier signal. T = s (Step 11, Recall Value 3) = khz (Recall Value 4) Calculate FM frequency deviation when the message signal s amplitude changes by 1 Vdc. The FM center frequency is khz (Step 8, Recall Value 2) and the frequency with a 1 Vdc message signal is khz (Step 12, Recall Value 4). Frequency deviation = khz (Recall Value 5) To return the carrier frequency to the khz (Step 8, Recall Value 2) center frequency, adjust the NEGATIVE SUPPLY knob CCW to change the voltage at T on the VCO-LO circuit block from 5.0 Vdc to 4.0 Vdc. You will now observe the effect of a 2 V pk-pk, 5 khz message signal on the FM carrier frequency. 322 FACET by Lab-Volt

18 Angle Modulation and Demodulation Connect the SIGNAL GENERATOR to (M) on the VCO-LO circuit block. Adjust the SIGNAL GENERATOR for a 2.0 V pk-pk, 5 khz sine wave at T. This adjustment is equivalent to varying the voltage at T ±1 V. Set the sweep to 0.5 FM signal. When the message signal amplitude was 1 V, the voltage at T decreased to 5 V and the frequency increased to khz (Step 12, Recall Value 4). When the message signal amplitude is 1 V, the frequency will decrease to: = khz (Step 8, Recall Value 2) (Step 13, Recall Value 5) FACET by Lab-Volt 323

19 Calculate the modulation index (MI) for an FM signal that has a frequency deviation (f dev ) of ± (Step 13, Recall Value 5) khz with a 5 khz message signal (f m ). MI = f dev m = (Step 13, Recall Value 5 = (Recall Value 6) With an MI of (Step 18, Recall Value 6 pairs (SSP) from the table. If the MI is not a whole number, use the next highest MI to select the number of SSPs. On the next screen you will calculate the bandwidth of a message signal given a center frequency and an SSP. As shown, the sideband pairs are spaced evenly on each side of the center frequency and are spaced 5 khz apart. BW = SSP x 5 khz x 2 = khz (Recall Value 7) 324 FACET by Lab-Volt

20 Angle Modulation and Demodulation Phase Modulation (PM) In this PROCEDURE section, you will phase modulate a carrier signal, measure the phase change, and observe its characteristics. You use the PHASE MODULATOR circuit block to produce a PM signal. The inputs to the phase modulator are a 452 khz carrier signal and a 5 khz message signal. Test point T permits you to measure the 0 to 10 Vdc POSITIVE SUPPLY voltage. A terminal between the MODULATOR and the LIMITER permits you to observe the PM signal before it is limited. FACET by Lab-Volt 325

21 The tuning of the LC network determines the phase shift of the carrier signal. You tune the LC network by changing the value of the POSITIVE SUPPLY voltage at the cathode of varactor diode CR5. The value of the POSITIVE SUPPLY voltage determines the CR5 capacitance, which affects the tuning of the LC network. 326 FACET by Lab-Volt

22 Angle Modulation and Demodulation You will adjust the POSITIVE SUPPLY voltage so that the MODULATOR s output (input to the LIMITER) is in phase with the carrier signal. As the POSITIVE SUPPLY voltage becomes more positive, the MODULATOR s output leads the input. As the POSITIVE SUPPLY voltage becomes more negative, the MODULATOR s output lags the input. FACET by Lab-Volt 327

23 When a sine wave message signal is applied to M, the varying amplitude causes the phase of the MODULATOR s output to vary. Because the FM or PM signal s amplitude does not contain any message intelligence, signal spikes caused by noise can be cut off to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of an FM or PM signal. A LIMITER circuit keeps the PM signal s amplitude within a desired range. In the PHASE MODULATOR circuit block, the LIMITER circuit is an op amp with a gain of 1.0 that has two Schottky diodes connected from the output to the input. 328 FACET by Lab-Volt

24 Angle Modulation and Demodulation The diodes polarities are reversed: anodes connect to cathodes. The reversed diodes limit a signal s positive and negative peaks to the value of the diode s forward voltage. When the PM signal peak reaches about 0.2 V, the diode with its anode connected to the output conducts and maintains the PM positive peak voltage at a value of about 0.2 V. FACET by Lab-Volt 329

25 In the same way, the other diode maintains the PM negative peak voltage at 0.2 V. Undesired voltages above and below ±0.2 V are cut off by the LIMITER circuit. On the VCO-LO circuit block, insert the two-post connector in the 452 khz terminals. Connect (FM) OUT on the VCO-LO circuit block to C at the MODULATOR on the PHASE MODULATOR circuit block. In this PROCEDURE section the oscilloscope probes must be set to X10 to prevent loading down of the signals. Connect the oscilloscope channel 1 probe to C on the PHASE MODULATOR circuit block. 330 FACET by Lab-Volt

26 Angle Modulation and Demodulation With the potentiometer knob on the VCO-LO circuit block, adjust the signal at C for a 600 mv pk-pk amplitude. Set the voltmeter to volts dc. Connect the dc voltmeter to T on the VCO-LO circuit block. Adjust the NEGATIVE SUPPLY knob on the left side of the base unit for 4.5 Vdc at T, which sets the signal at C to about 475 khz. Connect the oscilloscope channel 2 probe to the terminal between the MODULATOR and LIMITER. FACET by Lab-Volt 331

27 Adjust the POSITIVE SUPPLY knob on the right side of the base unit so that the MODULATOR output signal (channel 2) is in phase with the VCO-LO signal (channel 1). While observing the oscilloscope screen, slowly turn the POSITIVE SUPPLY knob on the base unit CW and then CCW. Varying the POSITIVE SUPPLY voltage simulates a message signal amplitude change. As the POSITIVE SUPPLY voltage changes, does the MODULATOR output signal on channel 2 change phase in relationship to the channel 1 input signal? a. yes b. no Adjust the POSITIVE SUPPLY voltage so that the channel 1 and channel 2 signals are in phase. 332 FACET by Lab-Volt

28 Angle Modulation and Demodulation You will observe the effect of a 3 V pk-pk, 5 khz message signal on the PM carrier frequency. Connect the SIGNAL GENERATOR to M on the MODULATOR. Connect the oscilloscope channel 1 probe to M. Adjust the SIGNAL GENERATOR for a 3 V pk-pk, 5 khz sine wave at M on the MODULATOR. Connect the oscilloscope channel 1 probe to C, and connect the oscilloscope channel 2 probe between the MODULATOR and the LIMITER. The probes must be set at X10. set the vertical mode to ALT. FACET by Lab-Volt 333

29 Channel 1 shows the unmodulated carrier, and channel 2 shows the phase modulated signal. On channel 2, do you observe out-of-phase signals with different amplitudes? a. yes b. no Connect the oscilloscope channel 1 probe to the LIMITER output. Compare the LIMITER s input and output signals. Did the LIMITER reduce the amplitude of the PM signal? a. yes b. no CONCLUSION In FM, only changes in the message signal amplitude cause carrier frequency deviations. In PM, changes in the message signal amplitude and frequency cause carrier frequency deviations. In FM and PM, any variations in the carrier amplitude do not contain message intelligence; the amplitude can be limited to reduce noise. The modulation index is the ratio of frequency deviation and message signal frequency. sideband pairs times two (2). 334 FACET by Lab-Volt
