(1) Modulating Audio Signal Generator section:

IC 1 (ICL 8038) waveform generator IC is used generates sine wave siganl. Pot P2 (22K) is used to vary its frequency. The frequency range is 300Hz to 3.4Khz. Two 100K presets are adjusted for proper peaks of sine wave signal. 1K presets is used to adjust duty cycle. The sine wave output signal is available at pin 2 of IC1 and it is then amplified by IC4 (LM356). The amplified output is available Sine wave output terminal. Pot P2 is used to vary the amplitude of Sine wave signal. The switch S1 is used for course variation of frequency. The output amplitude vary from 0 to 5Vpp.

(2). FM modulator using VCO:

A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) produces the frequency, which is proportional to the voltages applied to it. IC 8038 is used here as VCO. The frequency of oscillation is determined by resistance and capacitance at pin 11-10 and by a control voltage V at pin 8. 356 IC is used as amplifier. The basic free running frequency can be set between 100KHz to 200KHz by varying 10K Pot and preset 22K. This frequency is FM modulated by applying modulating signal at Modulating I/P terminal. Here two seperate FM modulators are provided.

(3). FM demodulators: (a) FM demodulation by PLL: An IC 565 PLL IC is used here for FM demodulation. It contains voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) which Produces the frequency, which is proportional to the voltages applied to it. The frequency of oscillation is determined by resistance and capacitance at pin 8 and 9 and by a 4K7 preset. 308 Ic is used as amplifier. The basic free running frequency can be set between 200KHz to 1MHz by varying 4K7 preset.

(b). FM Demodulator using Ratio Detector:In this section two diodes OA79, two resistors (100K), two capacitors (10nPPC) and coils L1 and L2 are connected as ratio detector circuit. The FM modulated signal form FM modulator is applied to the base of transistor Q1 through coupling capacitor (0.1uDC). This signal is amplified and amplified output is then FM demodulated by ratio detector circuit. The demodulated output available at junction of Capacitors is then filtered by resistor 4K7 and capacitor 0.47 PPC. The recovered signal is available at DEMOD O/P terminal.

(c). FM Demodulator using Foster Seeley Detector:In this section two diodes OA79, two resistors (100K), two capacitors (10nPPC) and coils L1 and L2 are connected as Foster Seeley Detector circuit. The FM modulated signal form FM modulator is applied to the base of transistor Q1 through coupling capacitor (0.1uDC). This signal is amplified and amplified output is then FM demodulated by Foster seeley detector circuit. The demodulated output available at junction of upper resistor and capacitor is then filtered by resistor 4K7 and capacitor 0.47 PPC. The recovered signal is available at DEMOD O/P terminal. (a) FM demodulation by PLL: 3

An IC 565 PLL IC is used here for FM demodulation. It contains voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) which Produces the frequency, which is proportional to the voltages applied to it. The frequency of oscillation is determined by resistance and capacitance at pin 8 and 9 and by a 4K7 preset. 308 Ic is used as amplifier. The basic free running frequency can be set between 200KHz to 1MHz by varying 4K7 preset.

(4). Low pass filter: This section passes only low frequencies up to 3.4 KHz & reduces all other frequencies. This filter is required to remove RF carrier signal components from demodulated signal. This section is based on IC 741 & R-C circuits

(5) Power supply section:

The regulated power supply is used for different supply voltages. Following output D.C. Voltages are required to operate FM Modulation demodulation system. +15V, 250mA , - 15V, 250mA , + 5V, 250mA Three terminal regulators are used for different output voltages i.e. IC 7805 for + 5V, IC 7815 for +15V, IC 7915 for -15V, These ICs are supplied different dc input voltages by two Half-wave rectifiers consisting of D1-D4 and D5-D8 and C1, C2, C3, C4. The capacitors at each input and each output are for filtering purpose. SW1 is main AC ON/OFF Switch. *************
