Example
The equation of an angle modulated wave is
ν(t) = 15 sin (3x108t + 20 sin 2000t). Calculate the maximum deviation.
Rewrite this equation if the modulating frequency is halved, but all else
remains constant, assuming that the wave is:
a. frequency modulated
b. phase modulated
Given
νPM (t) = 15 sin (3x108t + 20 sin 2000t)
Solution
b. phase modulated
νPM (t) = 15 sin (3x108t + 20 sin 1000t)
Frequency Modulation vs. Phase Modulation
Functions of a Receiver
1. selects the desired signal
2. amplifies
3. demodulates / detects
4. displays
Standard AM Receivers
1. Tuned Radio Frequency
2. Superheterodyne Receiver
Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF) Receiver
a simple “logical” receiver
simplicity and high sensitivity
aligned at broadcast frequencies 535 – 1640 Hz

RF Amplifier
It amplifies weak signal from the antenna. It has a
variable resistor that controls the RF gain and
sensitivity.
Detector
It provides rectification and detection for
modulated signals.
AF Amplifier
Volume – controlled amplifier that raises the power
level of the audio (AF) signal to a value sufficient to
drive the loudspeaker of the receiver.
NOTE
RF stage provides greater gain, prevention of re –radiation of the
local oscillator, improved rejection of adjacent unwanted signals and
better coupling of antenna with the receiver.
