摘要:
modulator-demodulator suited to record an audio signal in a recording medium in the form of a frequency-modulated signal and to demodulate the frequency-modulated signal is disclosed. It includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (4,4', 4a, 4b), a switching circuit (28, 28', 28a, 28b) for changing one of two input frequency-modulated signals toward a control input of the voltage-controlled oscillator, and a phase detector (10) for detecting a difference in phase between the frequency-modulated signal reproduced from the recording medium and the output signal of the voltage-controlled oscillator. In a recording operation, an input audio signal is supplied to a control signal input terminal of the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) through the switching circuit, and the VCO acts as a modulator for carrying out frequency modulation. In a reproducing operation, the output signal of the phase detector is supplied to the control signal input terminal of the VCO through the switching circuit to form a demodulator having a phase locked loop configuration, and the frequency-modulated signal reproduced from the recording medium is demodulated by the demodulator. A single VCO is used as the VCO for forming the modulator in the recording operation, and is used as the VCO for forming the demodulator having the phase locked loop configuration in the reproducing operation.

A frequency modulating circuit (10) for modulating a carrier signal by a modulating signal (S,) is disclosed which includes a band-pass filter (10A) of biquad type having a first integrating circuit (12A) and a second integrating circuit (128), an output of the first integrating circuit (12A) being supplied to an input terminal of the second integrating circuit (12B) and an output of the second integrating circuit (12B) being supplied to an input terminal of the first integrating circuit (12A) and the input terminal of the second integrating circuit (12B), and a limiting amplifier circuit (10B) supplied with a part of the output signal of the band-pass filter (10A) and the output thereof being positively fed back to the band-pass filter (10A). In this case, the modulating signal (S l ) is supplied to the first and second integrating circuits (12A, 12B) such that the center frequency of the band-pass filter (10A) is linearly controlled by the modulating signal (S,) whereby a frequency modulated signal (Sm) modulated by the modulating signal (S,) is led out of the output terminal (11) of the second integrating circuit (12B).

A signal generator is arranged to produce frequency or phase modulation at frequencies which extend from a high value down to zero, i.e. to a d.c. level shift. The output oscillator forms part of a phase locked loop which also includes a variable frequency divider. A modulation signal is applied to the loop, so that high frequency modulation signals directly modify the control signal which determines the frequency of the oscillator, and so that low frequency modulation signals alter the divisor value of the variable frequency divider so as to modify the frequency characteristics of the phase locked loop. Quantisation noise is reduced by applying a masking signal to an analogue-to-digital converter which utilises the low frequency modulation signals to alter the divisor value.
摘要:
Das modulierende Steuersignal wird in digitaler Form einer Akkumulator aus einem Addierer und einem nachgeschalteten Register zugeführt, so dass eine Folge von Dualzahlen entsprechend einem digitalisierten säge zahnförmigen Signal gebildet wird, bei dem die Modula tionsinformation in der Steigung des Sägezahns liegt. Durch Nachschaltung eines Komplementbildners, der bei jedem zweiten Übertragssignal des Addierers auf Kom plementbildung umgeschaltet wird, wird jede zweite Pe riode des sägezahnförmigen Signals quasi umgeklappt und ein dreieckförmiges Signal mit halber Frequenz gebildet. Durch einen Zuordner mit einem Festwerk speicher kann das digitale dreiecksförmige Signal in ein digitales sinusförmiges Signal umgewandelt werden. Anstart im Komplementbildner kann auch das vom Ak kumulator gelieferte digitale dreiecksförmige Signal di rekt im Zuordner in ein sinusförmiges Signal umgewan delt werden, wobei dann jedoch eine doppelte Speicher kapazität notwendig ist. Ein bevorzugtes Anwendungs gebiet besteht bei Video-Magnetbandgeräten.
