Generation of FM Waves
Reactance Modulator
In direct FM generation, the instantaneous frequency of the carrier is
changed directly in proportion with the message signal.
For this, a device called voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is used.
A VCO can be implemented by using a sinusoidal oscillator with a
tuned circuit having a high value of Q.
The frequency of this oscillator is changed by changing the reactive
components involved in the tuned circuit. If L or C of a tuned circuit
of an oscillator is changed in accordance with the amplitude of
modulating signal then FM can be obtained across the tuned circuit .

Varactor Diode Modulator “Hartley Oscillator”
An example of direct FM which uses a Hartley oscillator
along with a varactor diode.
The varactor diode is reverse biased. Its capacitance is
dependent on the reverse voltage applied across it. This
capacitance is shown by the capacitor C(t)

Super Heterodyne AM Receiver
Heterodyne means mixing two frequencies and generating single or
constant frequency and the output of mixer will be fixed
frequency.
Specification of AM Receiver:
• The frequency range of AM-MW( Medium wave)
: (540-1640) KHz
• Band width of receiver:1640 KHz – 540 KHz = 1100 KHz
• Band width of each AM station : 10 KHz
• No. of stations available: 110
• Intermediate frequency (fIF): 455 KHz

Super Heterodyne AM Receiver
Antenna: It is passive device which converts electromagnetic signal into
electrical signal.
RF Tuned Amplifier:
• It is broad band amplifier which contain tuning circuit and amplifier.
• Tuning circuit designed to select 110 stations and amplifier provides
amplification for 1100 KHz band width.
• RF tuned amplifier is responsible for sensitivity, selectivity, Image signal
rejection and noise reduction.
Mixer:
• It is combination of frequency mixer and Band Pass Filter (BPF).
• Frequency generates sum and difference frequency of incoming signal and
locally generated signal.
• BPF selects difference frequency at the output whose center frequency is
equal to= 455 KHz.
Local Oscillator:
• It is either Colpits or Hartley oscillator.
• It generates carrier frequency 455 KHz greater than the incoming carrier
frequency to produce constant or fixed frequency.

Super Heterodyne AM Receiver
IF Amplifier:
• It is narrow band, high gain and fixed frequency amplifier which provides
amplification for 10 KHz band width at center frequency of 455 KHz.
• It is cascade CE amplifier which provides 90% of total receiver
amplification.
Detector or Demodulator:
• It is frequency translator circuit which extracts modulating signal from
AM signal.
• Usually Envelope detector is used.
• Fidelity of the receiver is mainly depends on detector or demodulator.
Audio Amplifier:
• It is low frequency amplifier which provides amplification at (20- 20K)
Hz.
• It contain cascade CE Voltage amplifier followed by Power amplifier.
Loud Speaker:
• It converts Electrical signal into sound or audio signal. 21
