Phase locked loop techniques for fm demodulation and modulation
1 like2,990 views
This document discusses the design and implementation of a phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency modulation (FM) demodulator. The key components of the demodulator are the PLL block and an optimum time-varying filter block. The PLL block contains three sub-blocks: a phase-frequency detector, loop filter, and voltage-controlled oscillator. Circuit diagrams and equations for these components are presented. Additionally, a bandpass filter is designed and integrated with the PLL block to improve FM signal quality by recovering the demodulated signal. Simulation results showed the demodulator successfully recovered the FM signal.

In this research, we concentrated on phase locked FM demodulators. Our main two parts are the PLL block and the Optimum Time Varying Filter block. We started our work by building up three basic blocks of the PLL; the PFD, the Loop Filter and the VCO. By carefully studying the structure and the operation of these blocks, we were able to make good choices regarding the types of each block and their parameters. As a result, we got the desired results in our PLL simulations. After that, in order to improve the quality of the FM signal, we worked on the Optimum Time Varying Filter which is the main research part in the overall thesis. We studied the relationship of the optimum filter (or matched filter), the optimum time-varying filter and our band pass filter. We then derived the necessary equations to realize our synchronous filter. Based on the theory and equation discussion, we were able to design the band pass filter. After we put all of the blocks together to realize our FM PLL demodulator, we simulated the whole demodulator and recovered the FM demodulated signal which showed that we had achieved our research goal-namely, to improve the quality of the PLL FM Demodulator.

These results were very satisfying when I finished the simulations. At the same time, I noticed the distortion problem in the Vcout signal which was affected by the feedback of the band pass filter. The choice of constant “C” is critical. If I had more time, I would work on this and find a way to get rid of the Vaudio signal in the BPF feedback and only keep the Vcout signal as part of the feedback. In that case, if we still could get a good quality FM signal (Vcout), it would be perfect. References: D. R. Frey, “Optimal Filtering of AM and FM signal”, submitted to Iscas 2009 D. R.
