FM Demodulation
The process of extracting a modulating signal from a frequency
modulated carrier is known as demodulation. Electronic circuits
that perform the demodulation process are called FM detectors.
The FM detector performs the extraction in two steps:
1) It converts the frequency modulated (FM) signal into a
corresponding amplitude modulated (AM) signal by using
frequency dependent circuits i.e. circuits whose output
voltage depends on input frequency. Such circuits are called
as frequency discriminators.
2) The original modulating signal f(t) is recovered from this AM
signal by using a linear diode envelope detector.

Mathematical analysis :

Differentiation yields :

From the above equation it can be seen that the amplitude of the
signal contains the information signal.
The amplitude of the signal is an envelope of the signal and the
equation is given by :
Ec [ c k f vm (t )]

FM Discriminators
FM discriminators can be divided as
1. Slope Detectors
Single tuned discriminator circuit, or simple slope
detector.
Stagger tuned discriminator circuit, or balanced
slope detector.
2. Phase difference Discriminators
Foster Seeley discriminator
Ratio Detector

The two tuned circuits are in stagger-tuned mode, i.e one above
the carrier frequency and other tuned below the carrier
frequency.
Disadvantages:
1. The linear characteristic is limited to a small frequency
deviation. If the frequency deviation is more than the
defined value, distortion will occur due to non-linearity.
Thus the operation of this detector is limited to small
deviation only.
2. The discriminator characteristics depend critically on the
resonant circuits.
3. The tuned circuit output is not purely bandlimited and
hence, the low pass RC filter of the envelope detector
introduces distortion.

2) Balancing of Loads:
The loads of the diodes must be accurately balanced
under dynamic as well as static conditions.
This balanced load condition requires that R3 and R4
be equal and so the capacitors C3 and C4.
But in shunt with these capacitors, come stray
capacitances which are, in general unequal.
Coupling capacitance Cc is also another source of
capacitive unbalance.
To restore dynamic balance of the two low
impedances, additional capacitances should be placed
across the upper diode D1.

Ratio Detector
1. It gives an excellent noise free output.
2. Unlike center tuned discriminator, it requires
no limiter.
3. Since no limiter is required, small signal AM
rejection is considerably improved and hence
the input requires in ratio detector for noise
free operation is considerably smaller than
that in center tuned discriminator.
54
Ratio Detector
The circuit is similar to the circuit of Foster
Seeley discriminator, except the following:
1. The polarity of diode D2 has been reversed.
2. The output V0 is taken from the center tap of
a resistor R that shunts the load impedance of
the two diodes.

Free-running
If the input and VCO frequency are too far apart,
PLL free-runs.
Capture
Once VCO closes in on the input frequency, PLL
is said to be in the capture mode.
Locked or tracking
Can stay locked over a wider range that was
necessary for capture.

Advantages of PLL
If there is a carrier center frequency or LO
frequency drift, conventional detectors will be
untuned.
PLL, on the other hand, can correct itself.
PLLs need no tuned circuits.
