Linear and exponential modulation

In linear CW (carrier wave) modulation:– transmitted spectra resembles modulating spectra– spectral width does not exceed twice the modulating

spectral width– destination SNR can not be better than the baseband

transmission SNR (lecture: Noise in CW systems) In exponential CW modulation:

– baseband and transmitted spectra does not carry a simple relationship

– usually transmission BW>>baseband BW– bandwidth-power trade-off (channel adaptation-suppression

of in-band noise)

Phase modulation (PM) Carrier Wave (CW) signal:

In exponential modulation the modulation is “in the exponent” or “in the angle”

Note that in exponential modulation superposition does not apply:

In phase modulation (PM) carrier phase is linearly proportional to the modulation x(t):

Instantaneous frequency

Angular frequency (rate) is the derivative of the phase (the same way as the velocity v(t) is the derivative of distance s(t))

For continuously changing frequency instantaneous frequency is defined by differential changes:

A practical FM modulator circuit

A tuned circuit oscillator– biased varactor diode capacitance

directly proportional to x(t)– other parts:

• input transformer• RF-choke• DC-block


Generating FM/PM Capacitance of a resonant circuit can be made to be a function

of modulation voltage.

Indirect FM transmitter FM/PM modulator with high linearity and modulation index difficult to realize One can first generate a small modulation index signal that is then applied

into a nonlinear circuit

Therefore applying FM/PM wave into non-linearity increases modulation index should be filtered away, how?
