The document describes an experiment on implementing frequency demodulation using a phase locked loop (PLL) frequency demodulator. The objectives are to understand frequency demodulation theory and operation, understand PLL operation, and implement frequency demodulation using a communication trainer. The experiment involves connecting a function generator, frequency modulator, PLL demodulator and low pass filter modules and observing the demodulated output on an oscilloscope. The bandwidth of the FM link is measured by increasing the modulating frequency until the demodulated amplitude reaches 0.707 of the midband value.

Theory

There are several circuits that can be used to demodulate FM. Each type has its own advantages
and disadvantages, some being used when receivers used discrete components, and others now
that ICs are widely used.

Below is a list of some of the main types of FM demodulator or FM detector. Frequency


demodulators are often referred to as discriminators or frequency detectors.

• Slope FM detector
• Foster-Seeley FM detector:
• PLL, Phase locked loop FM demodulator:
• Quadrature FM demodulator:
• Coincidence FM demodulator:

PLL FM Demodulator
Because of their low and superior performance, especially when the SNR is low, FM demodulation
by using PLL is most widely used method today.

Procedure

• Disconnect the above circuit. Insert FM and PLL modules in socket # 4 and 5, respectively.
Connect J2 of FMM to J1 of PLLM. Set AF signal frequency to 1 KHz.

• PLL module demodulates frequency modulated signal. Connect CH2 of scope to J2 of PLLM.
Increase AF signal and verify CH2 displays demodulated AF signal, however, demodulated AF
signal is not clean. Draw demodulated AF signal and explain the reason for not being clean.

• Insert LPF Module in port #6 and connect FM demodulated output to LPF module to
remove carrier components from demodulated output. Clean AF signal will be seen at output of
the LPF module.

• Now insert FMM in port # 2 and connect function generator sine output to its J1 terminal.
Keep J2 of FMM connected with J1 of PLLM. Set frequency of sine output signal to 1 KHz and
increase level till you see distortion free demodulated output waveform.

• Now increase the frequency of the modulating sine signal and see its effect on the
amplitude of the demodulated signal. The amplitude of demodulated signal will stay constant first
and then it decays. Measure the frequency of sine signal where the amplitude of demodulated
signal becomes 0.707 of the mid band values and record the results below:
Fu (-3 dB) = __________________________________________

This is the bandwidth of the signal which can be transmitted over this FM link.
