FM Modulation and Demodulation Using PLL: Experiment No 7 Group A-2 19/02/2019

This document describes an experiment to implement FM modulation and demodulation using a CD4046 PLL IC. Key components required include the CD4046 IC, resistors, capacitors, function generator, oscilloscope and power supply. The CD4046 contains a phase comparator and voltage controlled oscillator that can be used for FM modulation by varying the VCO frequency based on a modulating input signal. For demodulation, a second CD4046 PLL is configured with the same free running frequency as the modulator. The modulated FM signal is fed to the input of the demodulator's phase comparator while the VCO output is fed back, and the output provides the demodulated message signal. The experiment was successfully carried out,

FM Modulation And Demodulation Using PLL

 Aim
To implement an FM Modulator and FM demodulator circuit using a PLL IC
CD4046.

 Components Required
• IC CD4046

• Breadboard

• Resistors

• Capacitors

• Breadboard

• Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO)

• Function Generator

• DC Power Supply

• Multi-meter

• Connecting wires

 Theory

CD 4046 is an analog Phase Locked Loop IC which be used for FM modulation and
demodulation.
 Phase Locked Loop
A Phase locked loop PLL is a frequency selective circuit designed to synchronize with an
incoming signal and maintain synchronization in spite of noise or variations in the
incoming signal frequency. PLL consists of three main components are represented by the
block diagram shown in Fig 1.

Fig1 Block Diagram Of PLL

 Characteristics Of PLL

 Free running frequency (fo)


Also called the center frequency, this is the frequency which the loop (VCO) operates when
not locked to an input signal.

 The lock range


The range of input frequencies over which the loop will remain in lock. Normally the lock
range is centered at the free running frequency. Unless there's some non linearity in the
system which limits the frequency deviation on one side of fo, the deviation from fo is
referred to as tracking range or hold in range.
 CD40406 Phase Comparator IC
The CD4046BE phase locked loop contains two phase comparators, a voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO), source follower and a zener diode. Figure 2 is a block diagram of the 4046
CMOS micro power PLL, and figure 3 is a pin diagram.

 FM Modulation
The VCO part of the PLL may be used for the frequency modulation of the carrier.
In a VCO, the output frequency is proportional to the control voltage input. In the
absence of control voltage, the free running frequency is determined by the supply
voltage VCC, the externally connected resistances R1 and R2 and the capacitance
C. The free running frequency f0 is given by

The VCO in free running mode is the carrier generator. The carrier frequency is f0.
The control input of the VCO is clamped at a voltage Vcc/2 . The modulating signal
voltage which is less than Vcc/2 is applied at this pin through capacitor. This results
in variation in the frequency of oscillation of the VCO, which is the frequency
modulated signal.

 FM Demodulation
Another PLL IC has to be used for FM demodulation. The VCO part of this IC is
configured for the same free running frequency as that of the modulator IC. One of
the phase detector input is fed with the modulated FM signal and the other input
of the phase detector is fed with the VCO output after filtering out high frequency
components. The phase variation between the two will be corresponding to the
message which was used for modulation.

The PD output is passed through an emitter follower internally to the


demodulated output pin. The output from this pin may contain high frequency
ripples which may be eliminated by proper filtering to obtain the actual message.

 CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
Fig4 Complete Circuit Diagram
 Design
Supply VCC = 5V at pin-16 and ground pin-8 of both PLL ICs.

Modulation

Use a voltage divider network of two resistors with R = 10 kΩ for


clamping the control voltage input (pin-9) at Vcc/2 = 2.5V .
Give a message signal of frequency 1kHz and amplitude 1 Vpp at control voltage
input (pin-9) through a capacitor of C1 = 1µF .

Select R1 = 10 kΩ (pin-11), R2 = 100 kΩ (pin-12) and C = 0.002µF (between pin-6


and pin-7) so that free running frequency as per equation

The FM output is obtained from VCOout (pin-4) of first PLL IC.

Demodulation Use the same R1, R2 and C for the second PLL IC so that the free
running frequency remains the same as that of the modulating IC. Feed the
signal input pin of phase detector (pin-14) of the second IC with the FM signal.
The other input of phase detector (pin-3) is fed with VCO output (pin-4). The
output from phase detector (pin-2) is fed back to VCO input (pin-9) through a
low-pass filter with R3 = 10 kΩ and C1 = 0.01µF .

The demodulated output is obtained from the pin-10 by pulling down using a
resistor Rp = 10 kΩ. It is then low pass filtered at fc = 1.5kHz to eliminate higher
order ripples.

Choose 𝐶�= 0.01 µF, 𝑅� = 10 kΩ.


 Procedure

1) Assemble the FM modulator circuit on a breadboard as per the circuit diagram.

2) Observe the free running frequency of the PLL VCO and verify whether it is in the
required range.
3) Connect the input signal, 1 Vpp sine wave 1KHz, Pin 9.
4) Observe the output – FM signal at Pin 4 VCO out.
5) Connect the FM demodulator as per the circuit.

6) Input the FM signal from the FM modulator to the input of the demodulator circuit
Pin 14 (PLL Input).

7) Observe the output of the demodulator and compare it with the input message
signal.
