Abstract:
An FM demodulator circuit in which is used a phase-shifting multiplier comprising a limiter for obtaining an output of a substantially rectangular waveform, a phase shifter for shifting the phase of the output of the limiter by 90*, a multiplier for producing the vector product of the output of the limiter and the output of the phase shifter, and a low-pass filter for obtaining a demodulated signal, is further improved by the provision of a waveform converter for converting the rectangular waveform into a substantially triangular waveform, between the limiter and the phase shifter, so that a reference signal for the multiplier is thereby made to assume a substantially triangular waveform.
Abstract:
A balanced angle modulation detector having first and second angle modulation wave transmission circuits comprising; a differential limiter, balanced switching means, and a single tuned circuit for generating a quadrature signal wave such that a linear discriminator characteristic is obtained. One of the transmission circuits comprises a phase lag network including a resistor and inductor connected in series coupled to an inductor and capacitor connected in parallel. The quadrature signal wave voltage, developed across the tuned circuit, is coupled with the in-phase signal wave voltage to the input electrodes of a balanced switching device whereby the modulating signal information is recovered from the angle modulated wave.
