3. FM Transmitter
Block diagram of an FM transmitter is shown in Fig.3. The modulating signal, is a signal from some LF source.
it is being amplified in LF amplifier and then led into the HF voltage controlled oscillator, where the carrier
signal is being created. The carrier is a HF voltage of constant amplitude, whose frequency is, in the absence
of modulating signal, equal to the transmitter's carrier frequency fC. In the oscillatory circuit of the HF VCO a
varicap (capacitive) diode is located. It is a diode whose capacitance depends upon the voltage between its
ends, so when being exposed to LF voltage, its capacitance is changing in accordance with this voltage. Due
to that frequency of the oscillator is also changing, i.e. the frequency modulation is being obtained. The FM
signal from the HF oscillator is being proceeded to the power amplifier that provides the necessary output
power of the transmission signal.
To implement this simple
FM
transmitter; we need to the
following electronic circuits:

Different audio sources have different bandwidth W: Speech- 4kHz, High quality music15kHz. AM radio limits baseband bandwidth W=5kHz. FM radio uses baseband bandwidth
W=15kHz.
Transmission bandwidth BT is the bandwidth occupied by a message signal in the radio
frequency spectrum. For AM : BT=2W , for FM BT 2W (1+ ); Carson Rule.

5. AM Superhetrodyne Receiver
Requirements from Radio
receivers:
Tune to and amplify
desired radio station
Filter out all other stations
Demodulator has to work
with all radio stations
regardless
of
carrier
frequency.
For the demodulator to
work with any radio signal,
we convert the carrier
frequency of any radio
signal fC to Intermediate
Frequency (fIF).
Radio receiver design can
be optimized for that
frequency

RF Filter: Radio Frequency filter select the desired channel (fC) and reject the image channel
(fC+2fIF).
2W < BW RF <2fIF
Mixer and IF filter: convert carrier frequency fC to fIF.
